On LaserMania, when an opposing tank is on the center conveyor, I shoot at the teleporter, laser goes through tele and over the conveyor. careful
aiming hits the tank.

My favorite way to bust tanks

I guess that kills my idea, then.

In any case, you have to know how to use the modeler, so that counts

I still wonder how you can do this(make elaborately designed maps).

Once again, another mind-blowing map.

For your information, the loading cursor for windows is a hourglass, emptying
from one half to the other, then flipping itself around.

I think it is because it does not read the password part of your login.
I'm still trying to find out how this works

yeah, give the tanks wings or something like that

EDIT: That's already been done!

Anyway, The main idea for planes is my wish to bomard the opposing
team withcountless shots without obstruction of walls.
And I had to make it fair(somewhat).
I wish I knew C++ better

Since this a bug fix only, I don't experience any change.
(exept that I have better confidence with it running without crashing )

No need to jump, you can control height and direction of view.
You're right, we need a new topic for this.

Now for a couple questions that have probably puzzled us all...

Why is there a bolt named "observer_bolt" ?
Can observers shoot?
If not, why is it there?

Hmmm...
Do you know how to start a sever(at all) with BZFS?

The "Remember me" function works for me as well.

That might be the problem. You might want to look and see if there is some sort of "cookie blocker" software with your browser.

Mine started when "Planet Hot Wheels" was still up(they shut it down, like, 7 years ago, which is a shame), my username onit was "Goodbye2", I think. from there, that name kinda stuck. a few years later, I decided to make it sound more like I would say it to you :D so when i kill...

I've been playing about 7-8 months, the first half unregistered.

you need to add:

-world "C:\path\to\map.bzw

to the configuration file.
commonly the maps are stored in your documents in a folder called My BZFlag Files.

The error means BZFS doesn't know which map to use or where it is.

Ive also had trouble with getting maps to work that way.

U need to make a configuration file (Just edit this one) and run it using BZFS. the instructions are pre-loaded in the config file.

and make sure you save it with a different name and with the BZFS program.

Good point, It's already good. I guess I just wanna contribute.

But I'll make it anyway, for my personal use and just for kicks.

EDIT: I need a source code that actually works for Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2.
anybody have something I could use?

Why not call it something else(although Battle Zone capture the Flag is a nice name for this game)
or just make it optional, you know?



I don't think very many people like my idea

How good those scores are depends on how long you were there.
How long were you on those servers when you got those scores?

What you are describing would have to go into a new game, that is based off the bzflag source code.

You know, I think I'll try that. Just as soon as I figure out the source code.
I've got it for 2.0.4, that might give me a start.

Yeah, I guess you're right. At least it was an idea worth asking.

I didn't see that... huh, I'll remember that.

Why not put in the option to play as aircraft? They can shoot normal shots, OR drop bombs or fire missiles(only one of them) can move up, down, left, right(by rotation), are always moving at tank speed, Get killed when they collide with buildings and can't get flags, Can only be in red, blue, green,...

There is a slight glitch that allows U to see thru walls. Here's how:

1)Get narrow,
2)Drive up as close as U can to a wall,
3)Make yourself parallel to the wall,
And volia`! Transparent wall!:D

It isn't very much use to me, though.

How about a physics driver that says:

Tank got cooked for dinner
