Wenn you found out how to make the dots bigger in radar, don't complain about shots going through

Maybe that's what you were looking for, dunno: If you want full screen size radar only, you can make your radar as big as you want from either GUI options or config file. You have to make the backround of your radar black (no opacity/or was that full opacity). 1. go to Options 2. select GUI settings...

Ah, ok, it is not like i get my bzmail from gu or ducati league site, it is a way to give people an email adress without having to expose my true identity? is that it, or are messages from the league sites, or maybe even this site here forwarded to the real world mail system.

/mute SERVER


btw:

I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones.

i like that one, which is me?

just for information, and to correct some things: How often has this been going on? If Mr. Molez really is behind cheats, I'll bet that he's been at it a very long time. Back when I played Overlord on Hepcat servers, we always used to get strange stuff going on and we could never figure some of it o...

msvcp71d.dll, msvcr71d.dll

Aren't these the debug libraries for the debug builds? maybe you should recompile the plugin as a release build.

XP ADSL Nothing else running How do you test lag? even more interesting, where are you playing from, and how high is your lag. To test lag, use tracert on windows or traceroute on linux to see where the bottleneck is. example linux> traceroute dub.bzflag.org example win> tracert dub.bzflag.org (you...

Thank you Jeff, the "required to be global registered to play" policy sounds terrific.
It will make impersonating impossible, and cheating hard.
By removing the "forum topic for cheaters IP" you took away the cheaters hall of fame.
great work.

When your score is negative, your kill ratio (normalized score) will be low too, maybe that's not what he wants

hi pyr0, thanks for the tip. i tried it, but i am not sure the defragmenter that came with windows xp is doing such a good job, I started it a couple of times, even from safe mode modus, did chkdsk, and it did disfragment a lot, but the graphical overview still showing a bit off a mess. but some it ...

How much RAM, CPU? You could have something hogging resources (think, Viruses and Spyware). You could try junking your data folder, but I doubt that would help. And how does other games play? If it does it with other games there might be a driver problem, if not it may be a BZFlag problem. I have 5...

Hello, I start to have this problem on my computer playing bzflag. When ever there are multiple sounds (shots, explosions), my client starts to stutter and my tank becomes unstearable for a fraction of a second. its like playing with 2 fps. also the sound itself stutters. I used to have it a year ag...

well, if you do, also include an exclude command,
for example, displaying all servers, that Mr_Molez is not on.

But, yes would be a great feature, but a luxury one, since it can be done differently.

dodging, be sure to have always an eye on the radar, best is both eyes. also switch often between closeup view and overall view in radar (changing zoomlevel), to see bullets coming from far way and giving you time to dodge (overall view), aswell as dodging bullets in a cheek to cheek fight (closeup ...

^Yep, it's a part of the game...a part that should be fixed. ;) you can always fix your client. oops, sorry :D dunno, its like saying make server that servers my skills. you can always delay your spawning, or encourage team play where somebody helps out keeping the base clear or run around in roami...
