Re: Horrible scoring - Why custom game modes aren't popular and suck
I think the why of regular players is mainly down to the method of consumption of games nowadays - casual play has moved from desktops / laptops to Steam, phones and tablets with all the shiny bells and whistles attached to that. While the BZ devs avoid / can't get to that route the game continues t...

Re: Horrible scoring - Why custom game modes aren't popular and suck
Given that there's very few regular players left it's not going to be much of a problem. Even you haven't played since mid September.

Re: Help remembering old map
I tried sending Teppic a message but it got stuck in outbox.
Looks as if the map will remain a distant memory.

Re: Help remembering old map
Answer found via the telegram group: A*A Bridge Crossing hosted by Benfish.
I see most of his other maps are still hosted elsewhere but not this one unfortunately.

Help remembering old map
Help with an old (probably long gone) map. There use to be a map that featured a long bridge, two teams and CTF play. I *think* it was one of Loumans but not 100% certain. Ring any bells?
Stone bridge and you could hop over the bridge wall to a ledge that ran the full length of the bridge.

Happy 30th birthday bzflag
30 years ago, in 1993, the game we love was released to the general public. Even then they had cheaters who influenced the decision to have flags in the game.

Hopefully it will still be here in another 30 years.

BZ 2.4.24 & .26, Mac M1 and video
Since getting my M1 Mac in the summer every map I play suffers from missing / transparent walls and obstacles. They are still there obviously but they flash, disappear and reappear as I'm heading towards them / crashing in to them / hitting them. When they disappear I can see through to the other si...
Re: gg
Given that I saw you with my own eyes playing as nosense in the last few weeks and changing flags mid jump to WG then yes, you were / are cheating.
I didn't ban you for it but I did kick you for it. 10 seconds later you logged back in under your Cole handle (same IP address) and said bye.

Re: Why GN Is The Worst Flag
You'd hate Grue's new server. Multiple ways to geno your team, their team and both teams.

BZ - What's the future for it?
I don't think anyone can deny that it's dying. Zero players online is the norm nowadays or if there is anyone there they soon disappear. Isn't it about time to let either let BZ die a dignified death or move away from concentrating on desktop versions and acknowledge that people are using phones and...

I would love to try this if only for the relative privacy it would offer - I'm currently in Mr Putin Land and pricey if non-existent. Unfortunately Mr P has also deemed that Starlink is illegal in RU so I hope they bring out a more portable dish :) For the moment VPN is king. https://en.wikipedia.or...

BZ Client, force registration before being allowed to play
Why does the BZ client not enforce registration before allowing new players to play? Forget about map / server owners, the client should be enforcing it. I'm getting fed up of chasing unregistered cheaters and listening to unregistered players spouting their vile drivel. Kick / bans / mute / silenci...

Are you trying to connect to European or US servers? US servers should have a lower ping for you.
