Physical objects, causing sounds is a concept found in all of the best on-line games. Perhaps sound sources as well as an option of atmosphere-based music could be of great advantage to map designers, as well as make the game far more interesting. Location-based music has been denied, based on the ...

You forgot the .png at the end of the URL.

I would like an "invisible" flag(IN).It would make you invisible out-the-window and it also would make you have the stealth flag at the same time.Mind you, the shots are still going to be visible on both out-the-window and on radar. This has been shot down on the grounds that it is far to...

The only problem I can see with this map is a low FPS for anyone with less than 2GB of RAM. Uh... yeah... by that logic, you'd need about 64gb of RAM to play this... I checked the task manager when I was playing, and I was using about 280mb of RAM. When I was on missile war, I was using about 200mb...

With all of these applications, od you make the objects separately and then import them and manipulate them with a text editor, or do you build your whole world in the modeler and then export it. Because with Cinema4D I could easily build each object, I just assumed people were using Blender and Wi...

I like blender, simply because it has more tools available then Wings.. I also like the interface much more. I doubt you could do this in wings very easily, not that it would matter much for basic BZFlag mesh maps. Also, Blender makes texture baking extremely easy. It is as simple as going to the re...

is their an easy way to >browse< the wiki? with search you need to know what you want to find out and with random page its just too... random. i want to just read up on general knowledge and i havent found a good way to do that. See the links a little farther down? Click them. "Areas of Intere...

try setting the FPS really low...

/localset fpsLimit 15

If it still does it, then chances are you have a defective part.

I think it is windows Vista that is your problem, it has been from my experience that Vista is NOT a game computable operating system. Yeah, that's definitely why people play Crysis on Windows Vista with no problem at all. Slime As a test, try playing a game with the laptop on a flat surface, with ...

Alright, I decided to redo the teleporters, due to an idea from whodaman? . Here is what I got done today: I did the catwalks. http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1101.png http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1102.png captainmack Here's a tank on one of the crates in t...

Legolas_ wrote:Just a quick question: Do the tanks correspond to the flag? i.e does a tank with wings *pictured above* float above the wings flags?

Yes, that is the plan.

Sorry.. didn't get the teles done today.. getting close, though. I did some concrete barriers, and I (started) work(ed) on the flag identifiers.. The flag identifiers will be small, stylized tanks that float above the flag zones, so it feels a bit more like an FPS, where you "walk over" a ...

Didn't get too much done today, just the roof(s), finished off the lights, and redid the corner platforms. Ill do teleporters and the ground tommorow. Promise. http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1084.png http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1085.png http://bzfusion.ne...

Here are some new ones... didn't get too much done today.. Ill do the roof tommorow. (Oh, wait, it's 12:47am anyways..)

This is really great work, the texturing and modeling is superb. For the base may I suggest that the door is not the only way to the base, if you didn't already think of this. edit: whoops, didn't notice the post on the secret passages. Yeah, not 100% sure how I'm going to approad this one yet... I...

For that, you'll want to do UV mapping, which allows you place a texture on a mesh face in the exact way you want it. For example, this UV texture: http://fusion.bzflag.org/textures/ratsnest/TowerUV.png is applied to a mesh, via texture coordinates (basically telling your client where to render each...

Alright, I (somewhat) finished the doors to the bases. http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1077.png (Night shot) http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1078.png (Day shot) http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1079.png (Primary object layout, got much more ...

Alright, I took about a week off development, and I started up again yesterday. I (re) did the walls, and I'm planning on making some hidden passageways underneath the map, eventually. http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1075.png http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi10...

Wall is done. http://bzfusion.net/BZTextures/screenshots/bzfi1068.png So is/are the flag(s). For 3.0, each team has their own unique flag, so this kind of shows what they'll look like. http://bzfusion.net/BZTextures/screenshots/bzfi1066.png And the tanks are done, too. http://bzfusion.net/BZTextures...

I'm going to be submitting these textures as a patch for BZFlag 3.0.. I'd like to get some opinions on them, so any comments are welcome. So far I only have the base textures, the pyramid textures, the Teleporter texture (Caution.png), and the Grass. http://bzfusion.net/BZTextures/screenshots/bzfi10...

I have to agree with most others who have posted here (and myself I guess) and say that that looks BRILLIANT! The only this I would suggest would be changing the floor material to a similar texture, to match the surroundings a bit. May I inquire as to why it is named "Rat's Nest"? Yeah, a...

Alright, I've spent the last day working on the walls, ceiling, and refining the texturing on the current objects. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to add a few new objects, and maybe complete the base structures by the end of the weekend. http://bzfusion.net/winny/maps/ThePit/Screenies/bzfi1044.png ...

Uh, how is it not "a map"?

I stated earlier this was not the final placement of the objects, it is merely a preview of them.
