Official forums for BZFlag.org

Louman I have played this map and it is awesome!! Feel free to add a screenshot to the Wikipedia page with a caption to show off how complex BZFlag maps can be. Nonetheless, an awesome map and thank you for the time and effort to make it! I appreciate your work very much and is iconic of how nice m...

Maybe, but as for the graphics problems I strongly doubt that is due to compilation. As for exactly what causes it I can't be sure, but compilation is what I would least likely think its due to.

I know, I know :) I did ask for a perfect compile, so it's okay you gave me what I asked for :) As for the .dll's, those are the plugins and I have yet to know how to have those work with Dev-C++ builds, so I can't help much there. As for the NSIS scripts, I am very inexperienced with NSIS scripting...

Those actually aren't errors. All of those are simply warnings, which, as you know, don't affect compilation.

Did you get the regex messages when building bzfs.dev and bzflag.dev? About your #define HAVE_SDL_SDL_H fix, did this make it compile perfect? As for bzadmin.dev, this is due to missing the libregex.a file. This isn't your fault though, it seems I forgot to write about this in the readme. To fix thi...

There is no such thing as a stupid question.

Put the map anywhere, just remember to give the full path to BZFS when you start your server using the "-world" command. If the path has spaces, use quotes around the path.

Example: -world "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\testmap.bzw"

Server settings are currently not written to saved worlds. Only world objects, water levels (if any), and certain other critical features are saved. I believe things that aren't written are due to technical reasons.

Under the "Download Center" title, select your operating system under the "Binaries" column. Download it, and place the files in their corresponding directories: glew.h goes into your compiler's /include/gl/ directory, .a or .lib file into your compiler's /lib/ directory, and the...

That is a pretty neat idea. It does get frustrating to have to wait for another team to capture a flag you held as rogue.

What good would that do? If you mean as a way to play rogue ctf, where rogues get a flag to defend and can capture other flags, that defeats the purpose of rogue--a team that isn't a team. If you mean as a starting point for rogues but no ctf involved, that can already be done using the "zone&q...

There is no such thing as a rogue base. The Wiki is wrong and I will correct it, if it still says that.

If you just want a binary for your operating system, get it at http://sf.net/projects/bzflag. If you want the source, you can also get it from there or using CVS (instructions are given there too).

Sorry for the late response, I've been caught up with some other stuff lately. It appears as if you are using a downloaded packaged source from sf.net/, therefore, the easiest thing to do is just to replace bzflag.dev with the attached one (below). A few files need to be added to the project files, ...

Open the project file up, and go to "Project" menu -> "Project Options". Select the "Parameters" tab, and under the "Linker Options" box, look for "-lcurldll". Erase it.

iHatemacs, are you the same as raytek2? raytek2: you need to install SDL from libsdl.org. Get 1.2.9, by clicking "SDL 1.2" on the bottom left side of the page. Get the one for mingw32. Install using the same instructions as for libcURL . Please also read README.DEVC++, which answers both o...

No. Get the libcURL from http://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=win32-devel. Go to C:\Dev-C++, and put the files from that download (above) in the folders of the same names in C:\Dev-C++\ (or wherever you installed Dev-C++). (For example, the \include\ folder in the above file goes into C:\Dev-C++\incl...

Sorry for the late response, I got caught up with some stuff.

I don't feel it has to do with the way you built it. If it were to be, try rebuilding the entire thing, though I think it probably isn't.

This should be reposted as a new topic in the Hardware Help forum near the top of the forum list.

No problem, I am more than happy to help. 1. If you mean using GLUT, there is no current way to do so. You would have to program it yourself as it is not officially supported. However, DirectX is officially supported and to use it, you would have to make sure your IDE/compiler has it (Dev-C++ doesn'...

Okay I am 100% sure this one will solve your problems because I was able to reproduce your exact error. Am I correct that you downloaded SDL from libsdl.org and that is the copy you are using? If so, go back to the folder that the SDL distribution came in. Go to the /lib/ directory in that very SDL ...

I looked over this topic and I tried thinking about exactly what could be the problem. I figured it out and I am 99.9% sure that this message will fix your problems. First, make sure you have a fresh copy of bzflag.dev from CVS (if you are not using CVS HEAD, please tell me). Next, download my attac...

Forget the ld.exe thing entirely.

Just make sure that under "Linker Options" in the "Project Options" area that "-lcurl" is included in the command line.

There are several issues regarding detecting cheats, most notably lag. Lag can make a person appear to be cheating yet they are perfectly fine. Because of this, I have a hunch it can be a difficult task to create a perfectly flawless anti-cheating system, and because BZFS can't go around accusing in...

Correct, ld.exe should already be there but if it isn't, don't touch it. It knows what it's doing, its just me that isn't at times

Adding -lcurl alone should fix it. Please tell me if it doesn't.

You said you took out "-lcurl" from the command line earlier in this thread. Did you put it back at any time? If you did, please post the linker command line (make it link again and select the Compile Log tab, the linker command line starts with "ld.exe") and the command line to ...

Ahh thats a sinch. Build libares.dev (included in the BZFlag dev-c++ folder), which goes lightning fast so don't worry (it is C files). Then place the outputed libares.a, which will appear after you build it in the very same bzflag dev-c++ folder, into C:\Dev-C++\lib, and you are good to go. Respond...
