Urban Jungle has been restored. Sorry about that! Not sure why that happened

Urban Jungle is currently down, I will investigate as soon as I can.

Also, more scheduled maintenance possibly on June 29th. More details to follow.

If you were on Linux, traditionally you had to compile BZFlag yourself or possibly get an outdated version from your distro's package manager. That's no longer the case. If your system supports Flatpak or Snapcraft , we've got BZFlag for you! flathub/BZFlag snapcraft/BZFlag The configuration for the...

This also would provide the benefit of players less likely mistakenly clicking the wrong menu item as well. (If being able to "click" on the menu items is a future feature.) I can see how information getting lost in this thread is possible due to its original topic being sidetracked often...

Maintenance happened earlier than anticipated, so thank you for your patience and sorry for the individuals I had to boot off my league servers! Everything should be back up and running. Let me know if I missed or broke anything!

Been a while since I've posted any server updates. I've been busy with other bz-related projects and improvements to existing infrastructure. Scheduled downtime on May 24th at 7pm PDT - May 25th 1am PDT. The following BZFlag servers will be affected: bzflag.allejo.io allejo.leaguesunited.org allejo....

I can only see screen shot(s) from the videos. If I try to play them all I get back is "no video with supported format and mine type found" in FIrefox 66.0.2 (32-bit) on the most up to date LTS Lubuntu. Here's a shot in the dark, but if you view the homepage in Incognito or Private mode i...

This is a plug-in I've been secretly running on my servers for a few years now as an experiment. Since BZFlag is a global game, we shouldn't discriminate against anyone for not knowing the language of choice on a particular server. However, this is a plugin I haven't been able to dedicate much time ...

If you use an editor with syntax highlighting, you can highlight a block of text and use your editor's comment shortcut. Real haxors use keyboard shortcuts.

So it looks like I never formally released my dodgeball plug-in on here. Originally conceived by Winny, this plug-in introduces the dodgeball game-mode . Each time a player is killed, they respawn in a "jail" and the only way to escape from jail is to kill an enemy tank while you're in jai...

In our grand 20-year plan, yes having an official map editor is there. It could be somehow incorporated into the game client or use some type of game engine that already exists. Basically, in the future, we'd like to avoid having to reinvent the wheel and create things just for ourselves. Ideally, w...

...or you could just make this into a pretty simple plug-in.

Glad you got it resolved

Do you have any parental control apps on your computer or do you have Windows firewall turned on? Sounds like something is blocking BZFlag from connecting to the internet

Hi there, I've updated my firewall rules on my server. Could you try now to see if that's resolved the problem?

As it's been mentioned in the thread, BZFlag's game design is, one shot (that hits) = kill. This isn't something I see us wanting to change as it doesn't align with the game's vision for the future. A change like this would need to happen both in the client and server code, which means not only will...

After a long time, the plug-in that implements the point calculation for flag captures on Planet Mofo's Apocalypse map is finally here! This isn't the same plug-in that Mofo currently uses, but it will be once we finish reorganizing some things. This plug-in handles overseeing some CTF functionality...

Please, no. Don't use file hosting services. The two-hour edit policy was enacted due to some silly player redacting all of their historical posts which left so many threads without context. My suggestion is, post your maps to the forums or use a service like GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket that will l...

I'm trying to track both actual kills made by players and one attributed to players. Is this specifically for a plug-in you're building? If so, what are you doing? As in the case of PlayHistoryTracker, it works well tracking actual kills, but server shots made on the behalf of players do not end up...

Currently, I don't believe there is. bz_ePlayerDieEvent can be modified by any loaded plug-in and the server won't know if the event has been modified until every plug-in listening to the event has finished. However, the server itself must know if any plug-in has modified the event so that it can up...

Happy new year, everyone! May 2019 be the year that BZ prospers once again

I have a few suggestions. It would be really awesome if i could bulk upload many log files at once. Title of each log could be log files name. It would be nice to have an option to change title of any uploaded logs and to delete logs. Anyway, this is a great project. Thank YOU :* Thank you for the ...

Is it ok to upload messages created like this?

Sure, that's fine too!
