Yes I know, I looked through there and failed to find it, sorry.

The man page (http://my.bzflag.org/bzfman.cgi) is not loading, does anyone know why?

What do you mean by this?

Ah yes, I was going to set something up like that

I'm in the process of setting up a map for a server, and wanted to know how you limit shots for a certain flag before it is dropped, for example, two shots for Genocide? I was also wondering if this is set up through bzfs or .bzw, because I am only making a map for someone else to host, not setting ...

I noticed that on Missile War 2.3 and many other servers that when you drop a flag, it goes up in the air, then a rainbow coloured disk comes and swallows it up. I am making a server and see that when my flags get dropped, it just flies up, then lands on the ground where it was dropped. How do I get...

Oh it's working now ! Thanks so much!

I'm making a map with two castles, a little like Castle Warfare. Each one has two levels. The first level is 8 off the ground in the Z Axis. When I try to spawn flags there, with a Z Axis position of 0, they appear on the second floor of the castle. How can I get the to spawn on the ground?

I am making a CTF map. I add a zone for testing because it was annoying with the tank spawning in a random place each time. It all worked fine, until I added the team base. When I added the base, the tank always spawned there, and never at the zone. How can I set it so that it spawns in a random des...

I have a 10GB/month Broadband internet connection. If I lay say 5GB aside for server hosting, approximately how much play time would 5 players receive?

Thanks. I will only be using basic config as this is only to test a map, not to host anything, I'm going to find someone else that likes my map to host for me. Thanks anyway

Ah, that is very helpful, especially as it contains some other topics I need help on. Thanks.

Hey, I am using this config file to test a map:
I wanted to test it with a friend over the internet, and it was to my understanding that -q didn't add it to public listing, but allowed anyone with the server and port to connect. Why wasn't it?? Thanks.

Where do I place the server config file? Thanks!

oh, thankyou.

If I add a teleporter link, and do not specify :f or :b, will it work both ways, or not at all?

Thanks very much to the both of you! Those are both very helpful lists.

Yes I will note that, thanks

It's pretty well know that Australians and New Zealanders get major lag on most servers. It's unfair on the other players, because it gives the laggers an advantage, and it's unfair on the laggers because there is near to nowhere to play. I'd like to dedicate this thread to my fellow Aussies/NZers. ...

Thankyou very much! That was just what I was looking for, I just didn't realize it was under that name

Is there anything that lists all the uses of the options object?? I only know a few and would like to know more?

Sweet! Thankyou.

Yeah that is pretty unfortunate.

Alright. I am making one now. it's going good so far, i think it is something people would enjoy.
