Is it possible to make textures that change when it becomes 'night time' on a map? So far the only thing that changes is lighting. I guess one way is to have basically a timed 'slideshow' of textures on every surface, but the timing might be a bit tricky, would be better if it ran off server time th...

Would it be possible to adjust the 'draw distance' so not as much is rendered at any given moment?

An example for future reference: physics name example_road linear 10 0 0 end physics name example_highway linear 20 0 0 end box position -20 0 0 size 10 3 1 phydrv example_road end box position 20 0 0 size 10 3 1 phydrv example_highway end Note: the objects don't have to have names, they are more fo...

First of all, i appologise for not playing in so long! (don't have good internet any more) Second: TF2 (Team Fortress 2) and games similar to it (even those little facebook games) are so popular cause one can upgrade their stuff, like llrr pointed out. Don't know about 2.4, is it still client-based?...

wings (or the conversion) divided the surface into billions of tiny triangles. any way you can reduse them back to just one surface?

this might be a good base for a multi-layer map

ever heard of "ninja warrior"?
this might be the beginning of "tank ninja warrior"!

One more thing: BZFlag blocks most textures (safety thing,i'm guessing). By default you can only use textures off "images.bzflag.org" To use textures from other sources you need to locate "downloadAccess" file (in "My Documents/My BZFlag Files" on Windows), open it with...

wish there was a way to make a drivethrough box with physics that work while one is in the box. think water: you jump off a high point on the map, land in the water, sink a bit, and then are slowly pushed back to the surface...

never thought of using negative vert. velocity to make some objects un-jumpable. thanks for the idea!

looks good so far!
lemme know if couple of spots open up (non-adjacent preferred) that need to be filled up

Oppinion: it's alive, but barely. it's not too late to revive the project yet. don't give up, people! Solutions: 1) Advertisement --- let's make small flags that one can put on a car (similar to how football teams got car flags) 2)Tutorial servers --- how about bots? scripts have been created from s...

i believe another way of doing the SW is in "base". Example:
base
position 0 0 0
size 10 10 3
color 1
oncap SW
end

"I'm glad everyone likes the ideas so far!"
it sounds like this will be a great map after it's done.

let me know if y'all want any help.

what should the dimentions of the map be? and what about the underground tunnels. got plans for them?

nice use of curved walls, Yrogirg. most map makers try using only boxes/strait walls, which makes maps boring. Yours, on the other hand got some curves, making rico more interesting. great layout, too.

oh, ok. it makes sence now. thanks

i got that part, the question is "lower by how much?"
sould be awesome, as long as the framerate don't drop down too low

Creating in-game smoke trails or shot effects, for example

can't wait for the 3.0!
how will Lua affect framerate/jitter/lag?

great walpaper!
mind sharing the code (or better yet, the tank model in .obj)?

great work, guys! really.

Had an idea that should make setting up usergroups (groupdb) easier. since i have no experience with html, i have only made the "form" part of the script using an online editor.
all that's left now is to make it output a text file (a groupdb file) using input from checkboxes.
