Ok, I'll try it. If it doesn't work, I'll be back.

EDIT: It didn't work. Wings wont start.

So, what your saying, is you use cinema4d, save it as an .obj file, open it with wings3d, and can save it as a .bzw file?

I'm no good when it comes to source. I'd have no clue what I was doing, so I've never tried working with it.

Wait for a while, Teppic is going to release a full version of blender with BZWTools installed. This will suit you just fine, even more than you would like probably. Uhh, why not use modeltool to convert OBJ to BZW? http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=2698 Or the wings -> BZFlag converter http:...

I have tried to use the bzwtools, but the subversion thing never worked for me. I may have been doing it wrong. I have another program I want to use, but it would be useless unless I can convert to .bzw from one of the following: http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z123/rushrollthebones/Picture2-2.png

I know there is one for windows, but is there one for the Mac? I haven't found one.

a material is applied to an object, it is not the object itself.

material
name clear
color 0 0 0 0
end

meshbox
name boxclear
position x y z
size .1 6 .5
matref clear
end

THANK YOU! that is EXACTLY what i was looking for!
almost feels like one of those moments, it makes sense immediately, and it works.

when i asked who the developers where, i was looking for names. A Meteorite wrote BZFlag draws this in OpenGL (as is everything else) - which is hardcoded into the application (along with the tank models, etc). With some fancy mesh work, I'm sure you could reproduce this effect but with different ob...

whos that?

no, i know it is automatically created.
what im trying to find out is how bzflag creates it that way, so that you could put the same thing in ANY object

OK, if i have a map with just one box, and i play that map with bzflag,
how does it create the inside of the box that you see with oo?

is there some way for blender to export to a bzflag compatible file?

wow. hard to figure mine out. the only reason its OO7 instead of 007 is because i accidentally reg'd with sourceforge instead of here, but it somehow got stuck in this system. so it wouldnt let me use 007 here. so the next closest thing...

ah, thanks much. that helps.

ok, but i want to put it in a batch file, so all I have to do is click that and have it go directly where I want it to.

but i know its possible to enter in a server, name, and password. how do you do that?

what is the full syntax for using -solo

I think i know....
your map only has two bases, and i can never run a ctf map with 2..
either make 4 bases, or put the other two bases under the map or outside its boundaries then try it.

i can get it to be invisible, but it shows up on radar, and has a shadow.
and i cant get it to accept a texture i have, but it will work with the texs that come with bzflag

ok, i see how the circular thing around the tp works...
maybe in the nextr version of bzflag they should make it so tp's can be invisible on radar. as im not sure of how to work linkMaterial.......where does that fit in/how is it used?

a few teleporter quetions:
1. is it possible to make tp's invisible on radar? if not it should be
2. is there a way to create teleporters of different shapes? ex triangles, circles, etc.
3. what does the variable "_teleportTime" do?

if the name has spaces, it can cause it to make the server spaz out

ok. that still doesnt answer the question:
can you apply textures to an arc?

i dont follow you.....
my meshbox looks like this: whats all this inside outside whateverside stuff?
