Also, just for reference, there IS a way to contact the developers about ideas! - You can post flag ideas on the wiki here. - You can post general game ideas on the wiki here. - If you _need_ to talk to somebody, the devs are available on IRC. Two things to remember. First, be civil, even if they re...

Do you know what map(s) these were taken on?

If it works for you...

However, I would suggest looking at _how_ the teles are linked, in order that you can understand how they work, in case you need to do hand-maintenance. As always, the wiki is your friend.

Also, if that doesn't work, try putting the teleporter name in the top, like this.
Try this, if the previous way doesn't work.

Just remember that bases cannot be drivethrough (they're 1.0), so putting the base inside the net may result in the base blocking the bottom of the net, meaning you would have to jump out of the net after scoring. If you're going for (really) classic-style basketball, then you would be just fine.

Wait: Do you want to attach a physics driver to the door so that when you enter it, you slide through the door automatically? If so, you will probably need to add another box under it with the physics driver attached to that.

> Question- What is the maximum number for _maxFlagGrabs? I've heard of a problem with 255 flags on the field, > and was wondering if there is a limit. _maxFlagGrabs only gives you the number of how many times you can pick a flag up before it respawns. It has nothing to do with how many flags are o...

until I finish it all ;) Would user-customizable tanks even be a possibility? I could imaging the lag of downloading and rendering each user's own tank would counteract the benefits of having your own personal tank. Then again, maybe players will only get to choose from a list of pre-defined tank m...

>and for us, (who is playing) it just says "name" joining as a tank from "ip" then "name" siging off from "ip" Is this on a server with a ton of flags? Adding too many flags (technically, more than 255 flags on a map) will cause a player to not be able to spa...

As far as I know, bullets aren't tracked in 2.0.x, which means there is almost no way (without hacking bzfs) to know where bullets are going to go.

Just because you can give one team an unfair advantage, doesn't mean you should. I don't believe there is a such thing as a "permanent team mate", but if there is, they shouldn't express their affinity during a match they don't directly participate in. You can't always count on the other ...

You would have to use a one-sided mesh. If you go to the Mesh wiki page , they have a sample box that you can use. Just make one face passable. Alternatively, paste this into your map (at the top) ONCE. define os mesh name osbox vertex -1 -1 0 #Sorry, Tedius... ;-) vertex 1 -1 0 vertex 1 1 0 vertex ...

If you want more control over what your water should look like (such as waves, custom textures, custom death effects, water outside of the world walls), you should probably add a death physics driver to a noradar meshbox.

> Sometimes a teammate joins the Observer team (or even the enemies) and then feeds details to us such > as "ST base"... It depends. On places such as the GU League, where you actually have permanent teammates, this is a very good strategy. Such a "coach" can make or break the t...

Nice sound packs. Very different, take some getting used to, but on-the-whole pretty good. (I wanna say 2.0ish, but that doesn't seem right) Personally, the only flaw I have is the lack of a rico sound. You hear the big electro-phaser, and then the wimpy "Doink!" that follows it. But time ...

This is my release of the ArenaKOTH map that I've been working on. The general idea is that there are two teams racing to get to the top of the hill. As the course progresses, the width gets progressively smaller, giving it a more intense race to the top. As this is a King of the Hill map, you will ...

Could you post the sources.list for us? Chances are the pools you're pulling packages from doesn't have. You could always build from source, though ;-)

I'm pretty sure the 2.0.10 release candidates have .deb files for your enjoyment, but the stability of said programs are quite low...

Here is ArenaKOTH Iteration 4 "Less is more". This is the most dramatic overhaul this map has seen, and this map makes it more narrow, and simpler (giving it kind of an "Obstacle Course" sort of feel). Unfortunately, some of the textures are (currently) still locally hosted. And,...

> 3.0 will only accept images from images.bzflag.org. so even if it works now, it won't in the future. Umm, would that be done through the "local denial" access procedures implemented in 2.0, or would that be a core thing that could not be overridden without hacking the client? Just curious

Here is Iteration 3. This version adds some interesting new features, such as spinning jumpy thing, lava, in-air walkways, secret passages, and more. Note that some of the textures are local (for now).

Have fun!
