Besides we organized and scheduled the contest far before Rikers Cup was planned, that was not our fault, but bad luck. I apologize if GU League Riker Cup interfered in any way with PB tourney. This was not of course intentional. We were not aware that our cup might have an effect on PB tourney. St...

Twice a year is good, but june/july. Sorry won't be here :). If we play the rikers cup more than twice a year it could easily be over played as most have said.. Once a year isn't good at all just because if you can't make it to the first one you must wait till the following year. yes, I agree that ...

I fully agree with your entire post.

I think the event was a great success and I have to join the others in my thanks to all people that spent time organizing it. Complaining is easy, it takes 3 min and a post. Constructing is really difficult and takes lots of skill and patience. The captains were chosen by the GU League Admins to org...

dexii can u post the names of the two teams when they are picked? In general, I think the teams are just referred to as either the "European" or the "American" team. But i dont like if all of phago players at rikercup. I don't think the entire [phagozytose] team will be on the s...

@red-der: taking into account that you have been 3 weeks with us in GU you seem to know well the league, which is good. You are right in the sense that new (say less than 6 months) players might not be invited because they are hardly known to the community. However, they might be able to jump in the...

I don't think the web-league sites use BBCode. (We're not talking about a forum, we're talking about the website for recording matches, viewing teams, etc) They do, however, use raw HTML tags.

Correct.

I think it is not possible for all the best players to take part in the pre-match. Some have other things to do or have no time. On the other hand, every team leader has his favorite "players" (maybe longtime friends), who are not really the "best" players, only above average. O...

Last year (first ever Riker Cup edition actually) was organized as follows: 1) One captain for each side are picked by the GU League admins among the most well known and experienced players in the league. Last year these were Iggy for EU and Orbit for America. They invite a number of around 20 playe...

because there arent servers in the middle of the pacific ocean?

if you are new to GU league (as I know you are) the team "The Armoury" would be a good door to knock at. They are "training" new players in match tactics.

well i was looking forard to playing this but i guess i cant yet

You CAN play it, just need to build it yourself from the source.

The fix worked to stop Compiz from forcing it into a windo and it is not as bad, but there is still an issue. Now there is a kind of flicker that is like a horizontal bar that kind of works its way up the screen and starts at the bottom again. Also it seems to run sluggish as well. Is there a way t...

I'd love to join a team. I'll read those sites, thanks chaps. I'm not horribly awful. I do get kills in.. I just tend to die double the amount that I kill :lol-old: bah dont worry, we all have been there before. Some tips on your configuration would certainly help you, as well as tips on what to do...

How would a chap go about joining one of these leagues I hear so much about? I hear they have much more law & order than public servers. Just go to those sites and register with exactly the same name you have here "Cpl Foggy Dewhurst", then contact one of the admins there, for instanc...

hello, I have some problems with bzflag when I run it on Ubuntu 8.07. The problem is a poor display with blinking and every few mins the client minimizes or the desktop pops up. The problem is related to Ubuntu latest version using fancy desktop effects (compiz/fusion) by default. These are nice vis...

how far do you live from Europe? Public pillbox server is located in Central Europe.

I would join for sure if the setting is like in 2006, so I am 100% for groups so that there is a real chance to finish the tourney. IMHO any other set up will not work because people quickly lose interest, specially if they have little chances to get points. Grouping players with top players spread ...

The issue seems to occur right when they pick up an MG flag, even without pressing the fire button. correct, and it happens to me too although I do not have the wheel mapped to fire. I use the wheel to select a radar zoom or another. I invariably drop MG in no time. I consider it a bad flag because...

Homer was connected to a gu league server yesterday, but there was a "-" in front of his name, indicating the the password was incorrect or missing. On gu league servers, Homer needs to be added to a list to log on or talk. I haven't seen Homer on other maps and don't know if that is the ...

that variable "_countdownResumeDelay" only makes sense in league match servers, I wonder if you are trying your server on a map you saved from a match server. Also, your other comment But somehow I can't set the position of the flags. Maybe I need sth else except for the server itself. sou...

You might need to install the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) to run the software. That specific download works with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Server 2003. For those running Windows 98, 98SE, and Me, you can try the one without SP1 . do i need visual c++ even if i am not compil...

I've just tried the windows installer (Jeff's one), but the resulting executable gives me the error you mentioned This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. I am on WinXP, so maybe I need to install widg...

i think bzflag needs another leauge with only 4 leages it can be boring some times since trix leauge was deleted tell me what you think about another league THIS IS NOT A SCAM I already posted this somewhere else, but it just comes so handy: Starting a bzleague league is not difficult, keeping it a...
