Or, win, you could learn to light scenes and get decent renders in less than two days?

Cool render me1, env maps or ray mirror?
Did you use the node editor to put the bzflag text on or post process?

Evidently you still suck at physics. :wink: Because air resistance is negligible at these scales, gravity accellerates both objects at 9.81 m/s^2 - they both go the same speed. http://www.warren-wilson.edu/~physics/PhysPhotOfWeek/20050930BallDrop/index.shtml Depends on the size of the drop though, ...

It depends on the jump count as to how powerful wg becomes when _shotsKeepVerticalVelocity is on, but it does make it easier to kill winged tanks if you know what you are doing.

Sorry, my bad, missed a bit out of the script, updated here #!/bin/bash ## Script for rotating bzfs server maps ## Put seperate config files for each map into a folder and direct CONFIGPATH to it ## or enter the path on the commandline if [ $1 ]; then CONFIGPATH=$1 else CONFIGPATH="/home/destro...

It's restarting the server when the last player leaves, try this modified one. #!/bin/bash ## Script for rotating bzfs server maps ## Put seperate config files for each map into a folder and direct CONFIGPATH to it ## or enter the path on the commandline if [ $1 ]; then CONFIGPATH=$1 else CONFIGPATH...

I was thinking of writing a gui app to do this, but most servers (I'd assume) run headless, or at least without X, meaning it would have to be curses based and that would probably be harder to use than doing it by hand. I might do it as an app for testing maps, and helping writing conf files. You co...

You need like a 'green room' for league players to hang out in while waiting for a game. A good experiment while waiting for the client/server modifications to be made might be to have a map with lots of 'waiting rooms', maybe one for each of a few selected maps, people wanting a league match can tu...

Learn maxscript and write the obj exporter, lazy lazy boy.....

No, I've done max to blender, erm, vrml worked ok, but lost uv's I think, other than that importing .3ds files worked fine.

I'd google for .obj exporters for max, someone must have written one.

It'd be useful for dodging gm, but then so are tiny and narrow...

Perhaps I should have mentioned mine is NTL too.....

If you have a transp proxy use in you conf file to work around it.

Is it possible to have it loop the texture instead of scaling it when it's not big enough? Like an un UVed textured face? Erm, yeah, but if your gonna 'scale' (ie with the keyword scale) the object, I think the texture will just get bigger, not sure. But to make the texture repeat, just use bigger ...

Your texcoords are in the wrong order, 0 0 is bottom left. This works fine, but may need tweeking as I couldn't be bothered to work out which texcoord was which, and just copied the planar co-ords from the vertices and doubled them. define bridge_mesh mesh vertex -0.500 0.500 1.000 # 0 vertex -0.500...

You define and index texcoords the same way as vertices. So for a simple example, here is a face, displaying the bottom left had corner of a texture image vertex -1 1 0 vertex 1 1 0 vertex 1 -1 0 vertex -1 -1 0 texcoord 0 0.5 texcoord 0.5 0.5 texcoord 0.5 0 texcoord 0 0 face vertices 3 2 1 0 texcoor...

Just as a note to both you guys, if you haven't touched 2.0 objects for import before, the order in which shift and spin appear in bzw file affects how they are rendered. It depends on how your <file parser/scene render> works as to whether it affects you or not, but thought it was worth mentioning ...

Try putting the physics driver in the mesh definition, after the vertex lines but before the faces, if not just define it within the faces.

^Try doing that on a server that has /set shotsKeepVerticalVelocity turned on. That just means you don't have to wait for them to land, wings can be far more powerful with shotsKeepVerticalVelocity, but is far more exposed and a good player can take you out from a distance before you even notice th...

On Ubuntu? erm, gtk-dev opengl-dev maybe gtk2-dev, and maybe glut-dev (i'd assume but might be part of opengl) You also want some 'essential build tools' package or something similar (gcc make and all that jazz) If you get configure errors post then and I'll try to point to towards the right package...

All done, for now, up permanently on teppic.homelinux.net:5156, along with the new botscripts.

I have had this in the past, it's to do with BZs gamma settings (or do they call it brightness), anyhow, if you can find where to set the monitor gamma in the GFX card settings you can make it normal again.

Then lets assume that he is talking about the well known, but now changed, popular server of the Overlord and Pillbox maps, before the crazy notion of rotating maps came along.

Either that or he's all mixed up and meant HIX

The original patches and scripts are here . The updated script is below, and has the following new features; After finally working out how to deal with bzadmin segfaulting (yes it happens) there is no need for you to have/give a server password or point the script to a bzfs log file, making adding b...

It could be done as a collaboration between servers, or even the same physical server. Ways and means: Once there is the ability to switch teams (in this case observer to real team) on a server, on entering the map, it logs you on as observer on the 'other' servers, so the client can keep realtime i...

Coincidence when you have compiled it?
