Re: Voting
How about we just say that if you abstain from the poll, you don't count? A real voting system works like this: 10 people vote yes, 5 people vote no, 10 abstain. The final answer is "yes". 10 > 5 The voting system of bzflag works like this: 10 people vote yes, 5 people vote no, 10 abstain....

Re: read this it's got to be the coolest idea for a flag ever
Yay...Campers now don't even have to try! *Tank appears* *Tank is destroyed* *Tank appears* *Tank is destroyed* *Tank appears* *Tank is destroyed* *Tank appears* *Tank is destroyed*
As you can see, this is a bad idea. No flag combos.

Re: Bad Flags
It wouldn't be hat hard to do. It would simply take a few lines of code adjusting _tankSpeed_ and similar factors (if there is a seperate one for turning rate).

Re: Bad Flags
How is that so? Momentum allows you to hit full speed, while SLow tank would not have momentum, but would halve your speed and turning radius.blast wrote:Not much different that the "Momentum" flag.*Boinkage*! wrote:How about SLow tank (SL)
Your tank moves and turns at half speed.

Re: Looking for the best mouse for BZflag
I use the Logitech G5 Mouse. I still need to install the software for Macro's (If I ever find it )
I also use 4 1.7g and 2 4.5g weights to give it better control.

Strange Hack
I've noticed a strange hack that a player has been using under several aliases (not naming names right now, unless an admin or someone says it's okay to.) It involves somehow bypassing a spam filter and sending a gargantuan quantity of text or just blank lines, basically wiping out a player's chatti...

Bad Flags
I've never really seen many bad flags suggested here, so I thought of two. 1) Slow reload flag: Your shots take longer than usual to reload. 2) Slow shot flag: Your shots move slower than usual. 3) Random shoot speed flag: Your shots fire at random speeds. Obviously, #1 is only really bad on low-sho...

Re: A Few Ideas.
Maybe this could be used for a different type of game? If you've ever played that dodgeball server, you seem to have unlimited dodgeballs in your tank. Solution? Use the Shoot flag to give the player a "ball," then shoot it. The flag would drop and vanish, reappearing in the depot. That's ...

Re: A Few Ideas.
With the radar flag...it would be really overpowed. Maybe you could make it a "sonar" flag. It gives you ONLY the general location of tanks (offset by 10 bzunits, perhaps?) They would be grey, so you have no idea which team they are on. It would also be a maximum of short or medium range.

Forum Login Problems
I'm having some serious trouble with logging in. Sometimes, I enter it properly, but I have to do it again. Other times, I log out when I enter a forum right after logging in, and sometimes it randomly logs me out (even though I was active just 10 seconds ago.) It's really getting annoying. Ideas?

Suggestion to assist newbies.
I was thinking about how frustrating it can be to be a newbie and to be constantly blown up by more experienced players. If players got a free super flag if they had a ratio of wins to losses of 1:3 or higher (1:3 would give you things like V, A. 1:4 would be like CL, ST, T, or N. 1:5 could be L or ...

I would still want Shockwaves to work normally And for those uber-smashes, they would be controlled mainly by the fact they would only respawn occasionally (maybe when a team is capped three times in a row, the flag appears on their base, so you could get back some lost ground.) And if Planet Mofo o...

The Silo
I am in the early planning stages of a new map: The Silo. The focus is a large silo which has a large rocket launcher. Inside the central chamber, there will be an indentation where the blast from the rocket launcher will come out. Bullets will spray from the launcher when it fires, wiping out a goo...

Distraction- I mean for the CA flag that the bullet would be avoidable (maybe just regular speed) Okay, so the H flag should make enemies appear to be small, big, cloaked, or stealthed, even if they don't have the flag. It would be a random affliction, which applies to all tanks (every tank will app...

I came up with a few ideas for some flags that might work while I was gone... ColorConfusion (CC) All teammates appear to be enemies (maybe both on radar and screen, if there are multiple enemy teams, teammates are all one of the other team colors,) and enemies appear to be allies. Mainly, this flag...
