It's one of the gripes about the 6 month release process. The maintainers of Ubuntu tend to pick a set of packages that they know will work together, and stick with them unless security problems crop up. For most programs, this isn't a problem, for instance, KDE and GNOME haven't changed too much in...

Actually, I can see the confusion, if he's familiar with Pillbox League (and I think I remember approving him). PB League allows/encourages people to sign up for the spawn group themselves. (I still have to approve them) Basically, it saves a few PMs. That and I don't have to hunt down their registe...

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on this topic, especially as it relates to bzflag. My brother is both a Python and C++ programmer. He says that where he works, they often end up writing the frontend for whatever they're working on in Python, but use compiled libraries written in C++ to do some of the ...

Just double checked. Usually somewhere between 280 and 350 fps (according to bzflag's fps meter) on a pillbox map with several players on the screen. I run bzflag in windowed mode maximized on one monitor of a dual-monitor setup. The video card is an EVGA geforce 7300GT - AGP on a machine running Ub...

The only time it's irritated me is in the case of base spawn camping. By this I DON'T mean the old scenario in Overlord where somebody on red captures green's flag, and a red player with SW is waiting under it. That's a valid strategy in my mind. Ditto for Pillbox or Ducati where other teammates are...

Are these tips for a public server, or for a league match with 2-4 players per side? The public games are on a larger map and potentially have a lot more players involved than the smaller match-sized map. One nice thing about the pillbox map is that the small squares radiating out from the center al...

And maybe try:
to make sure that you're not running another bzfs on the same port.
Code: Select all
killall bzfs

There are IRC bots that give some sort of server status depending upon the bot. You'd simply keep a certain channel open, and the bot would give occasional updates. It would be more efficient than email anyway, because email often gets delayed. Now that I'm thinking of it, wasn't there a plugin to s...

You can change the texture images to your heart's content. All you have to do is replace the given texture file with a new file of the same name. I did this with the purple tanks, because I'd confuse them with rogues on radarless maps. Basically, I opened the image in the GIMP, and made the purple a...

Is this an error that comes up when you try to join a game, or is it given as a reason that you are kicked, or what? What servers are you trying to join, and where do you live? Operating system and bzflag version wouldn't hurt either. More details would be good. As an aside, I'd suggest that you not...

I'm guessing that the flag effects are handled by the client. Theoretically, you could make a flag mod for your server, but each client playing would also have to have your mod installed. I don't know if there are any plans to change this in the near future, but I'm guessing that it will stay this w...

I've never seen anyone have any success doing that, and I will /kill /kick anyone on Hepcat who ignores warnings about it. There are 2 reasons: One is that anyone who plays with sound turned on and is on the opposite team will hear that annoying car alarm sound every time you touch the flag. The oth...

There are ways of hacking a server, but password guessing isn't particularly effective. Don't get your panties all in a wad over somebody trying to guess your password. (unless it's really obvious) If they're good enough, they won't need to guess. Of course, ban a password guesser on sight. And yes,...

You - to my knowledge - can't ban a specific computer. I guess if you could, you would use the computer's MAC address. Of course, the troublemaker could swap out their ethernet card or switch to another computer on their LAN. In some cases, you can ban a range of addresses, but that isn't always pra...

There have been several occasions when I've heard complaints about nasty comments via PM, and it usually comes down to on person's word against another. This certainly would help, but I'm not sure I want to see everyone's chat messages. Best in my mind would be a way for admins other than the server...
