Is there a way to only load a portion of that map. then when someone moves into another section that section of the map is loaded. I don't think this exsists, but can it be created. It would allow for smaller maps being run and rendered on everyones machine, and would possible break it up for the se...

THANK YOU! That is a great idea, I never thought of that.

L4m3r : I think you are on the right track. I like the idea of having an object that can resend images. It would be cool if you could allow the textures to handel .php extensions. Then you could have dynamicaly generated images on your server. Is there anyway to allow and image with the .php extens...

what is the point of this program?

Will it later be able to combine the outline of multiple boxes into one mesh or what?

I think, that the SW flag should have the following added onto it: Destroys GM shots (when they hit the sphere) But stipulations could be added like: It can only nock out one GM shot per use of SW. (meaning that each sphere of SW could nock out one GM shot) It would make a nice GM imunity weapon. Li...

Sounds cool. The rest would no doubt need to be modifications to the game. Like the capture the flag mode that already exists. I would like to start with game dev, but I have never done major programming outside web dev.

Mostly Harmless! & ducatiwannabe: that was my point

Grand Slam: and you didn't need to write that....(go on forever)

Big Cheese: I will attempt to make it. Let you know when I am done.

1) I have tried using the spin command, but bzflag does not spin it at all. 2) If you read the help page ( http://www.bzflag.org/wiki/MapMaking ) it does not mention this, but one of the help files showed a command in the teleporter code to make a teleporter horizontal. It also said that this featur...

By the way!

I am impressed with what you have done so far. Major improvment.

I can help you do the towers and all that. Why don't you just come over on Friday?

Talk to ya tomorrow, at school.

Can't they just open a bzflag client and have it run on outpilot?

Does it also work with cones, spheres. Every time I try to use it on those it does not work.

Maybe I don't know what I am talking about, but eveytime I try to export Wings Data with textures and convert it to bzw data it never works. Can the conversion process even support this.

Can all of the components: .obj, converter, support it?

Is there some documentation of this? Or is this another one of those undocument features that no one knows how to use?

Can someone explain how the parameters Inside & Outside work when regarding a mesh.

Any of the other parameters would also be helpful.

Thats not what I said, I just would like some help.

Ok great it was CBG, what does it have to do with my question?

Kinda like a random post taking up space in my opinion.

i figured it out!!!! The following make a mesh box with a hole in it! material name default texture wall end mesh vertex 3 0 3 vertex 3 0 7 vertex 7 0 7 vertex 7 0 3 vertex 0 0 0 vertex 0 0 40 vertex 40 0 40 vertex 40 0 0 face vertices 0 1 2 3 7 6 5 4 7 3 0 # 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 matref default endface e...

CannonBallGuy: CGB was someone's name in the IRC chat room.

Everyone Else: I still need help I can't seem to figure it out.

I am writting code to gin it therefore modeler can not be used. Meaning I have to gin it myselft.

I have been chatting with CGB on IRC and I think i got it.

I would like to write some code that outputs meshes with holes. So modeler will not work . I have tried everything I can think of. Any help? Currently: (This has gone through MANY stages, please don't criticize) material name default texture wall end material name none texture wall color 1 1 1 0.2 e...

You can use this if you export the wing3D object as .obj code then simple drag the file onto this exe and it creates a bzw file for you.

Works great!

Any help JeffM2501 or other knowledgeable people?

I would like to know what the pixel to bzw units equation is. Basical what would I have to make the size of a box to equal one pixel on the screen.

Also what are the "bzw units" based on.

Thank you for your comments.
