-facepalm- would the server kick me for that? And even if so, would you still be happy to see about hosting a map (working on one right now)?

Hey, could someone please write a list of all the map options and how they are used? Or please give me a link to where I can find this information? Thanks

I am interested in this (I will have to improve my map making a bit before I send you one), but just to get this straight, New Zealand WON'T get lag? Because I'm in New Zealand and almost all the servers keep bugging me with lag, some even kick me

this might be the beginning of "tank ninja warrior"!

yeah probably lol.

and good job

I used to use a terrible layout. This is my new layout:

Arrow keys: Move
X: Fire
C: Lock on
V: Drop flag
B: Binoculars

Well, thats fair enough And there's always the chance of accidentally shooting a teammate with Genocide

I reckon that flags like Stealth and Cloaking would be much better if they only applied to your enemies, not your teammates. For example, if I had a shockwave flag, i look on the radar, there is an enemy in range. I fire, without knowing there is a teammate in stealth in range also. So that earns me...

Hmm. I guess I could use localhost.. the only problem is, the settings from the Start Server menu override my map settings.. or is there a way to set up a localhost map without using the Start Server function??

WOAH! 5 years!? That's quite a long time.. considering I have only been playing since about August 2010.

Ah. I see. Well get working *hint, hint*

Really? I think that is soo stupid! I hope they do release it, because I really love BZFlag.

Okay, so I'm getting into map making. I think I might be able to make maps people will like to play and host, but I am having a lot of trouble testing my map, I don't want to start a whole server just to test it, can anyone help?

blast: thanks
joevano: I'm not trying to set up a server, just test my map..lol

I'm confused .. I'm kinda new to this stuff, I don't know anything about it at all.. where do I find the configuration ?? All I was really wanting to do was test my map, and I get so much annoying stuff to deal with lol..

Ah. I see. How do i turn it off?

Alright, thanks to both of you

Ohh. Uh oh.. does that mean my server went public, or not lol?

Ah I see. Well, I suck at compiling things myself, I'd rather die. Okay maybe not die.. but I'd rather use the Windows side of installing (even though Windows is the most horrible OS ever invented).

I don't have a misc folder lol..
I use ubuntu 10.04 and got BZFlag from Ubuntu Downloads Center, if that would help.

What about the sample one, I don't have that, is there anywhere I can get one?

But I am sure I have no server already running. After that it just does nothing??

When I try to run bzfs in my terminal, I get: Note: no acceleration limit has been set. Players using "mouse enhancements" may cause problems on this server due to very high acceleration rates which are not handled well by dead reckoning algorithms. To eliminate this warning, set the -a sw...

This looks really cool! Please get back to me when it's released. Something you may like to consider, making it a CTF. Or making it one-shot only.

mrapple: NO! how can bzflag die!

Well, just a question, I use Ubuntu 10.04, and downloaded BZFlag from Ubuntu Software Center. When I go to System Updates, will Updates for BZFlag come, or will I have to do it manually? Thanks!

Hey, on http://my.bzflag.org/w/Creating_a_server#Configure_your_Server it says: In this step, you specify all the server options. The cleanest way to accomplish this is to create a configuration file. Fortunately, the BZFlag installation provides you with a sample configuration file that you can mod...
