yeah, 1.7 wont connect. But only 8mb video ram? Will bz play with only 8 megs?

what about window size? Is bz starting up in full window or not? I recall hearing something about bz starting in a windowed mode - not full screen - and it wasn't able to "pick up" the mouse clicks...

first off, it sounds like the "3rd one which worked" is an older version. The most recent version/s - 1.10.* - break backwords compatibility. Now, in order for anybody to help you if that first comment doesn't provide a fix, please state what O.S. and what version of BZ you got working. wi...

nevermind.

Not gettin involved this time

Thanks again Bzgirl,

now it's time to practice them roaming skills/keys - and try to get some good screenshots!

bzflag now supports screen shots as of 1.10.3, just hit F7 is this a Windows thing or what? F7 in 1.10.3 (linux) "appears" to do nothing - might be saving a screenshot somewhere on my system, just not telling me where it is. Nothing happens to indicate it is taking a screenshot though. cu...

Howdy Trojan! long time no see! Yeah, there is a new bunch of players out there - and as usual, everybody needs to learn how to spot true cheaters again. This is still happening, even a year later (seems like a year or so since I last saw you) Even an experienced bz'er/admin can sometimes make the m...

hide the mouse pointer? Bz has never done that on my system...even with version 1.10.2

running Mandrake 9.2

is there something we are missing? I wouldn't mind being able to hide my mouse cursor while playing bz...just have gotten used to it

bots are client side - just start bz like this;
bzflag -solo 8

that will start your bz client with up to 8 robots...providing your connection to what ever server you go to can handle 8 robots plus your tank connection (9 total)

IRC...
somebody correct me if I am wrong...

um, somebody make sure B.G. gets this message....

hehe, not good idea to slam them....after all, bz is more in tune with *nix than it will ever be for M$ products.

I for one, refuse to accept what M$ offers for an O.S. - thus Billy Boy will not be getting any of my money any time soon.

Happy Holidays to all

try a different location Gerbil....just tried the link Pat left and it works (downloaded from a Minneapolis site...)

ugh...now I gotta go delete that icky win32 file off my linux system!

Virus alert! lol

been a good year it has for bzbb!

Thanks again to the admins and especially Fiberchunks for starting it!

getting to the point that I wish there was a master silence or silence all command...with the option of siliencing everyone except those few have earned my respect. It is bad enough with just the lag, then to have to put up with everyone screaming "Wolf, Wolf"... when in reality they don't...

whimpers that the other ranking (Lieutenant) was better hehe

cool change!

just hope I am not the only one keeping BZFlag Arbiter on the left there
<------

(not by choice either lol)

I know I have had that problem in the past - seem to remember reading something about it somewhere also, IRC nothing could be done about it.

Hopefully I am wrong....

that is a drag cougyr, the main reason I use fluxbox - even prefer it over XFce - is because of the speed my games run (used to be T2 and bzflag, but only for bz now). Am using 0.1.14 myself - is it possible something is messed up with the newer version of fluxbox? Shooting in the dark here but what...

I am running 1.7g2 under linux and have noticed that super flags have text which is white as opposed to being the color of what ever team a tank is on. I have to agree that it is hard sometimes to tell what flag anybody has if it is a super flag and the score listing is currently inline with a white...

error messages make me cringe...

sorry I can't tell what any of that means...will go checking up some flux stuff

have always ran in fullscreen also...

I don't see why one window manager would work while another one doesn't. I don't recall setting up anything different either with XF86Config-4 concerning Fluxbox. I have no problem starting bz from either a gnome terminal or using a script, which I use most of the time. What if you used something el...

been using fluxbox window manager for awhile now with no problems...

anything I can do to help you solve this I will be more than happy to do.

am using md9.1 and multiple versions of bz. I just crank the brightness all the way up in bz.

Let me know

the server dosn't run bots, run a bzflag client with the -solo N command line, where N = the number of bots. when you log into a server you will get N bots that join with you. or run an instance of bzflag and hit 9 on the keyboard. um, doesn't the 9 key thing pertain to 1.10? (AutoPilot) Thought ma...

I believe the bot stuff is client side...I don't think there is anything within the server part. Bots run with any O.S. (including mac's? - at least with Windows and Linux) Just run bzflag with the -solo XX option where XX equals the number of bots you desire - there is a optimal high-end limit on t...
