its very simple with windows and the bzfs.exe but i dont know if thats what it is called or where it is located, please help Assuming you've started bzfs.exe from a DOS prompt, I've found it to be even easier on Linux machines, since you don't NEED to find the bzfs executable. If you have it instal...

Funny, I just saw this exact same situation on an older computer just last week. You've got an Intel GMA graphics card, right? Going to Intel's website and installing the latest driver for that card fixed it for me. On the other hand, once I got the drivers installed, the graphics card had such crap...

You know about the wiki, right? There's a nice list of programs available, as well as hints on using Blender or Wings 3D

Sounds like you've got a good start, but I'd seriously recommend not using something like Dreamweaver until you know HTML better. A program like Dreamweaver or GoLive works great, but they often act as a crutch to web designers. Learn CSS and HTML inside and out, then use Dreamweaver to speed the pr...

BZWTools looks good, but i dont have any expеrience with blender and as many times before I discover that GUI is confusing for me. Yeah, I felt that way for quite a while with Blender. There's so much going on. Have a look at the Blender 3D design course. He goes over all the basics methodically in...

One more thing: have a look at the bzfs man page: http://linux.die.net/man/6/bzfs A man page is a Linux (maybe OSX?) thing that gives you a bit of help using a command. In this case, bzfs (the server) It usually lists the basic syntax of using the command, and has a listing of what each switch does.

A couple of things: -publicaddr I notice there's no port. Cobra Fast, in another post, said it's on port 50400. Put a colon after the address, followed by this number. Also, add: -p 50400 -lagdrop needs a number you posted a password in plain text - hope that's not the real one -world Are they reall...

Aren't you supposed to use: kwin --replace or metacity --replace and compiz --replace to change window managers? (works for Compiz Fusion, anyway) FWIW, I used to have trouble with chattery performance while using Compiz, but either Nvidia fixed something in it's drivers, or Compiz fixed something, ...

It means that the time it takes for an event to happen at the server to show up on your computer and vice versa is too long. It means that if you have a high lag (> 300 milliseconds) it will look like bullets are passing through your tank when they shoot at you. Make sure that you are not using your...

It sounds like you're trying to host on a computer that isn't attached directly to the router. That may or may not be a bad idea. Personally, I'd go with a wired connection - it's just simpler. Even better yet, I'd get a half-busted old computer, install some sort of minimalist Linux Distro on it, a...

Well boy, get readin' in the wiki! Google port forwarding while you're at it. If it sounds like people are being ambiguous, it's because every June, we get swamped with people who can't be bothered to read the wiki and read old forum posts. Ironically, it's usually the people who don't need to ask q...

Where can I find someone to host the server for me? First, figure out a good reason for somebody to give you shell access to their server machine. A good reason might be that you have a really cool map, or knowledge to give, or maybe you can be a _useful_ volunteer. Offering sizable chunks of money...

We already have a decent wiki for that sort of thing. No need to create an entire new thread for it. http://my.bzflag.org/wi think i'll ask the forum admin if i can make a topic that is about all that goes into a server. maps, public, jumping, shots...that kinda thing.
