Re: Bzflag tk bug
I'm not entirely sure but it looks like when you pause it calls the function to select a new rabbit, but it calls it with no parameter (i.e. no one killed the rabbit). This looks like it is usually called when a player leaves the game. When that happens the paused player does fully change teams back...

Re: UPD/UDP??
If you got the message: Your end is not using UDP, turn on udp upgrade your client http://BZFlag.org/ or Try another server, Bye! It means that when you fired a shot it was sent with a TCP/IP packet and the server requires a UDP/IP packet. This is a sign of an older client. Not what that means in la...

Re: How do I compile BZFlag in Visual Studio 2008?
Banning based on the string returned from /clientquery is ridiculous!!! Having the knowledge of compiling (and programming) even on a windows platform DOES NOT constitute a cheater. I compile a windows client. Am I a cheater? JeffM compiles windows clients, is he a cheater? I could go on and on wit...

Re: BZFlag on iPhone and iPod Touch
I can't imagine that it would be hard to program it ( assuming you are an experienced IPhone programmer). The hard part is already done -- Algorthms, graphics, and network interface. Just needs to be ported, with some Iphone specific implementations. I guess the hardest part is finding time to imple...

Re: Callsign Choosing
Fish Pigeon is pretty good. I think the best is being Unique. I've been using "Branton" for a very long time... Very Very long time... Well lets just say since I got my first 80286... I was a young brat back then, so perhaps that was the inspiration :) Truthfully I don't remember how I cam...

Re: How do I compile BZFlag in Visual Studio 2008?
I've managed to compile BZ with VC++ 2008 express (aka free) edition. I had to get Libcurl to compile first (Google that one, it's was pretty easy). I also had to download the MS DirectX SDK to get a few header files. I had to make some minor modifications to some of the source (such as changing #in...

Re: Language Spoiling The Experience
I found the filterEvent which would makes it very easy to auto kick/ban. I got it mostly code (except for a config file reading etc) in less than an hour and this is the first ever plugin I've made. But joevano you've got a good point too. The filterEvent depends upon the BZFS filter system which is...

Re: Language Spoiling The Experience
I really like the "auto-kick/ban" idea on the bad language. Now I've never made a server side plugin so I can't say with any authority, but couldn't that be accomplished via a plugin? Maybe one of the plugin masters could give inputs. I'll gladly work on it if is possible. I've been wantin...

Re: Beginner questions-shooting etc.
Also remember if you are using guided missile it doesn't work up close. It will go right through someone sitting just a few units in front of you.

Re: Max Polygons?
Thanks for the great replies. I noticed my FPS dropped to around 15 when looking at my mesh with the most faces. (On a vista laptop with a silly Intel gfx card). I'll look at the Drawinfo & LOD and see what I can do.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Max Polygons?
Ok, so I am making a map, a couple of you have seen it, and suggested I needed more objects in the mid section so I’ve rendered up a few meshes and I’m beginning to wonder, how many faces of a mesh is to many? And how many total polygons/faces for the map is to many and likely to cause performance i...

Do you have a firewall on your box? Does XP have one built in or is that just Vista?

Re: Has anyone made a Cave?
I've made some Meshs that are similar to small caves. I use the latest freeware Wings 3d, and ModelTool. It seems that you could make a cave using some cylinders arrange them, then combine them, drop a few edges (or intrude them) and you've for a cave system. I'm sure there are other ways, but Wings...

Re: How can I fix my lag?
From my knowledge there are two reasons for lag: 1) bad internet connection (i.e. Dialup) or, 2) Congested internet connection. The first is probably the easiest to fix. Get a new internet connection with a different provider. The second can be caused from activity on your own connection, or in some...

Multiple Server List entries
Hi all... I have been playing around with a server for the first time since version 1.17 and have a question. Question: I notice my server is listed twice in the server listing. Once by it's private local IP address (with no title), and once by the domain name (with title): example: 192.168.1.100 my...
