Well, I just downloaded the source code for a quick look and the modification looks reasonably easy to implement. The server broadcasts a MsgTimeUpdate for timer Start, Pause, Restart and GameOver. It also broadcasts this every 30 seconds to keep the clients in sync and sends you this event immediat...

I guess since nobody else finds this useful, I'll have to do it myself.

I have suggested this before: http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=9391&highlight= Great minds think alike. :) Of course, I was only concerned with accidental spawn-kills. Hepcat, for example, has become very popular again and it's a real problem there. Especially because when you are killed...

It would be nice not to get killed immediately upon spawning. Perhaps for a short time period after spawning, the tank should be able to move, but not shoot or pick up a flag and that during this period you cannot be shot. This would give you enough time to manouver and avoid incoming shots. I'd say...

I like this idea but I think it should only be possible to damage the base by getting close to it. Otherwise someone with a laser can sit in comfort, far away, and wreak havoc. How about simplifying the idea like this. The base has one or more "hoops" associated with it and is damaged when...

By the way, I initially thought a countdown sequence sound would be a good idea (i.e. "3, 2, 1, GO!") but decided against it because it would require a server mod to delay the timer reatart and would not be worth the effort since it adds nothing to the user experience. Also there is alread...

It should be possible for the following timer events to have an accompanying sound: Timer started : Perhaps "Go!". Timer Stopped : When the timer is stopped, for whatever reason during a match, often players continue to shoot because they haven't noticed. An appropriate sound would help pr...

An option I'd love to see, is a bullet that only activates after a ricochet . This could be a server option of perhaps a bad flag (RA - RicoActivated - Your bullets only kill after a ricochet) Secondly, a spin option, which would put spin on a bullet after a ricochet . This would effect the bounce a...
