Re: Can't compile - Access List.lo error 1

Your original post tells us that you know next to nothing about the process of compiling C++ sources. It'd probably be much easier for you and us if you simply used a pre-compiled binary. ../../libtool: line 1383: g++: command not found If you're going to compile something, it's important to have th...

Re: Mumble

I may also add mumble "auto-connecting" so that you can be connected
to a specific mumble channel when you join a bzfs server (and possibly
the same for Hub channels). BZFS servers could setup different mumble
channels for different teams to avoid cross talk...

Re: Crazy idea: A distributed map.

The MsgJoinServer protocol message has a "referrer" field. That field can have up to 256 bytes (including the terminating NUL). You could use it to send player information between the source and destination servers. It would probably be wise to encrypt it using a key known only to those tw...

Re: Licensing

BZFlag 3.0 will allow map creators to insert copyright and licensing
information in the new 'info' world objects. This information is saved
into world files, and can be viewed in clients using the /worldinfo
command.

Re: Territorial control...

This should be relatively easy to implement using a server side-plugin. You would use meshes (or meshed objects), as the bases, with physics drivers for contact detection (as was done in the original AHOD map). To mark a base's ownership, you could use a dynamic color attached to a BZDB variable (ad...

Re: tele pass hax

Flags will merrily sit on top of default teleporters in bzflag 3.0
(read: no passing). They are now represented as meshes in the
