thanks for all of the help, ill be sure to watch for things like that next time, especially spelling "you're" correctly.

bool spawnpos[256]={0}; bool shield=0; float outspawns[5][5]={{0}}; What are these variables for? When I see a variable named 'spawnpos', I assume it would contain Cartesian coordinates in either R2 or R3. You have an array of 256 boolean values that you never use. Actually you don't use any of tho...

This could be fun in a map there you need to follow directions "There's a hidden hole in this wall. Find it to proceed", "Look for the platform shaped like a head and stand in the left eye" :-) This could be done with a plug-in and normal text. That would also be better idea for...

you could also have sounds go off when an event happens like a world weapon does, flag capture, new rabbit, team kill. of course there are already sounds for this, but instead it will be custom sounds, and everyone can here it unless they don't want to by turning off the "custom server sounds&q...

Well you could have settings in the client for turning of the "map sounds" but leave the other sounds on.

Iv been thinking, it would be neat if you could have different objects in bzflag have sounds, kinda like the texture matrix, but with sound. sound_object name example_name file "url to the sound" travel_dist 10 end box name box_name size 10 10 10 position 10 10 10 sound example_name end I ...

I know the server doesn't have an shot end event, but what if you made the plug-in assume when and were the shot will explode and place a world weapon in that spot and have a timeout for it. When you shot the server will calculate were to place the SW using your tank speed, tank position, and shot s...

This is my first plug-in, its make a server a "tag" game. When you spawn you are given a SR "Steam-roller" flag, then when you tag some one else the server makes you drop the flag, they die, and when they re-spawn they get the SR flag. The more SR flags you have on your map the m...

I like Tanx's avatar, some people really do need a sign telling them "what happens" during rain! But i'm not going to name any names.

I can't get it to work for me. I says "error: exception handling disabled, use -fexceptions to enable" Were do i use -fexceptions? Assuming you really have to enable exceptions, you would have to pass -fexceptions to configure. I suppose you could just do ./configure CXXFLAGS="$CXXFL...

When I make maps I do this, think about what I'm going to make, make it, look at it as if someone else made it, then i question my self, "would i want to be on that map? Is it hard to get around on this map? Is it a fun map? How many people should it hold? What should it be called? and Is it un...

I would rate myself as 2-3 on GU server, 4-5 on a free for all server, but on a CTF server 2-8, depending on my teammates, and how good of a day I am having.

I can't get it to work for me. I says "error: exception handling disabled, use -fexceptions to enable"

Were do i use -fexceptions?

I play for the same reason as everyone else, I'm a addicted. I can't help it, I go out side to do something, lose reality, and later find myself on my computer. Tell everyone about about this game!!!
