Official forums for BZFlag.org

The idea is good, even if it requires that the list server can assign a location to a given IP address (or that server owners have to specify the server's location...). If the region information should be sent with the normal server list (which would make it incompatible with the current one) or in ...

During my apprenticeship I visited a Linux administration course which was kinda boring...so I had a look at the installed apps (especially games ^^) on my testing computer and found it...played it some hours there, installed it at home...got addicted

@Admirarch: The leagues you listed are (together with the 1vs1 League) the most active ones. Don't forget that there are at least as many other league sites around which have only a few official matches at all. I would say that unity and centralization is probably what is most important. Do you mean...

You are right, it would be useful for players (league members) to implement some league categorization in the client. It's also correct that someone will have to spend a lot of time to program this. But before, someone has to think through the whole concept. The biggest problem will be to find some ...

Hiho, I first wanted to rewrite the frontend of my (not that new) site, but as it seems there's a lack of motivation from my side. So...for those who didn't know so far...there is another BZFlag stats site out there: http://bzstats.strayer.de In principle, this site is just a combination of David_V'...

It's a nice flash animation. The link below the intro ("WEITER") directs to...nothing: http://links-clan.de/main.php It's a pity that it is a wild mix of languages (German/English) and designs. The clan site is in German which is not the best solution, but as long as it's thought to be att...

In my eyes, hidden match servers are a good idea. Maybe it would be better if the dub servers would be appear in the server list for registered ducati members (as the TLZ's ducati match server), but this is not a must, because they are well known. ... I think it would be a great idea to disallow spa...

@CannonBallGuy In this case the iFrame has the same functionality like an ordinary frame. The use of is is self-evident: You don't need knowledge of how to use Server Side Includes (SSI) or scripting (like Ruby, Java, Perl, PHP,...) if you don't want to place recurrent HTML code in every HTML file (...

I have to agree with Comsol. Well, images have the advantage that they (usually) have the same look in any browser (except of text based browsers) and you can give them a really cool design. Unfortunately, there are much more disadvantages like: - Search engines can't index them. Don't you want ppl ...

What does this button do? It's kinda administration interface that allows you to select (via arrow keys) one of the server-side commands you are allowed to use. How do I check lag/ ping? Press one of the messaging keys and type '/lagstats' or press 'o' and select 'Lag / Ping Stats'. > It's the same...

That's a good question. When there is the possibility to change the length of matches, only the min. or max. time should be given. It doesn't really matter if it's allowed to play 15, 16, 17,..., 29, 30 minutes. As long as a 15min match has the same weighting as a 30min match, I don't see a reason w...

Hi AsdMaster, I have the same problem. Best solution is really to buy a new graphic card, but as written in http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=80184 , try to enter the line set useBitmapFontRenderer 1 in your BZFlag config file. This will help to read the text, but not has no effects on images....

Let's make it easy and simple... I think you installed BZFlag 2.0.8 in the easiest way...means...you clicked everywhere on 'OK' and 'Install' (and so on) without changing any paths? In this case please try to run the following file: C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.8\bzflag.exe (for english Windows instal...

@Sellotaped to Stupidity

Your lowest logged score was -30 on dub.bzflag.org:59997

...and 4morebeers had -49 on the same match server...

some automatics are fine. An individual buddy list has everybody to keep valid. An automatic system what align with the actual league teams would be nice. It's surely not a problem to automatically set your team mates on your personal buddy list. So it's important to get the buddy list stuff workin...

Hm...shorter match times can be interesting for some ppl...however...I'ld suggest that a team gets (or loses) only as many % of the points as long they played
30min > 100%
20min > 67%
15min > 50%

The more (time) you invest the more you get (or lose). :o)

Wow...I'm really impressed. How long do you expect you'll need for all (excl. the 2 fun features)? If I don't misunderstand you, it sounds like a lot of work. I seems you have noticed my bzstats test site . Beside online and total stats for players and servers it contains the 'User to Team linking' ...

Thanks... :o) No...all I use are the *.cxx files from sf.net's WebCVS only. Where else can I find real up-to-date information? ;o) Wasn't that easy, but one day I found the three files that contain nearly all allowed commands (server-side, client-side and ban commands). Fortunaltely, there is a comm...

Unfortunately, Dutchrai's ShellShock site is down since a long time now. I already wrote him an email...let's ...

Unfortunately, '/?' doesn't show all available commands...only the server-side commands will be displayed. Even the list on http://bzflag.org/wiki/KeysAndCommands isn't complete. Have a look at http://strayer.de/?site=bzflag&site1=bz_commandlist . A script automatically downloads the currently i...

As far as I noticed the list server was down for something between 15 and 20 hours since 19th April.

So finally...Well done!
I'm sure you all had a lot to do during the last weeks. So as L4m3r said: Thanks! :o)

hm...sounds like a problem I have with release 2.0.6 on Win2k :o) > All font characters and images look quite strange. if you set the following line into your BZFlag config file and the font is readable (even if it looks a little ugly)...then you should update some library files on your system line ...

@pyr0 There already exists a script for all 'web-league' based platforms that extract the player and team information from their database. (It's written by menotume...) I just combined these information on the site Saturos posted. ^^ Requesting the Ducati league site causes around 11 KByte traffic (...

Hiho, I think it's time to advertise my website strayer.de to those who don't know that it exists... :D Some words to it's history (because it's quite old now)... In fact, the only reason for this website was my PHP script that queries the BZFlag servers. I wrote it 2002 to get the game data from th...
