can't say I would be any help, but a friend has dual monitors and IRC goes in and disables monitor #2 somehow thru display properties/graphic card settings (nvidia) - mind you it is a dual head graphics card. Suppose it all depends on what your card offers in the area of graphic settings... Just OTH...

wow, was just going thru the member list and I find Spiff's account suspended???

Nevermind my last post then - at least the part directed towards Spiff.

what do you say Spiff, should we?

Spiff, You know I am kidding - besides I would get my a$$ stomped!!!

I kinda like the idea, it does sound like Gladiators taken care of business!

Wonder what is next....

Rome falls....

I have no idea why it happens to me - but no matter what version of linux I use, that port 53 issue seems to always get me. Maybe I am installing named, bind or a DNS server (all the same right?) by mistake and actually do not need it, thus all that stuff in my logs. Thanks for taking the time to ch...

found the "problem" - on this standby server I am using (usual server's cpu fan died) I had an firewall add-on script running which somehow determined that dragon.org's ip was used in some sort of "attack" against our home network. Not too sure if that even happened - am not accu...

not going thru proxy here either Patlabor. Am still surfing for an answer too...

I cannot even connect to bzflag.dragon.org
pinging the same returns no results, and whois doesn't either (because of the .org I believe)

is bind (named) a possible problem here? If so is there a way to "flush" the cache? Or am I not even close? LOL

Been trying to connect to this for over a day now with now luck...says that website cannot be found...

whats up with that?

haven't noticed that happening to me...

just installed RH 9.0 and will "attempt" to install 1.9.x now and will let you know what happens

Btw., you can use +f GM{5} syntax for multipel flags of the same type. Depending on your shell, you'l have to put that into quotes. Thanks SGI & Chestal, have made those changes, just waiting on 1.9.4 to make sure it works. No errors are being reported, just can't play on the server...then agai...

Has anything changed since 1.7g2? Am attempting to use the Field and Stream map (possibly cannot use old maps?) and did notice that apparently we need to specify which interface to use (-i) Here is the output when I run bzfs; [steve@ampster bzflag]$ ./FieldandStream using speed autokick tolerance of...

About the respawn time: Were you playing on different servers? In the new version the respawn time is a parameter that can be changed by the server admin. The default value is 5 seconds, and I think that I set it to 1 second on glasstowers.homelinux.net:20000 when I was playing with the settings. T...

Ok, this morning I was finally able to install 1.9.3 into MD Linux (thanks again larsl) and found something different between the Windows build and Linux RPM. After your tank gets blown up - your visual "leftovers" - the time it takes from after being blown up to being able to respawn - is...

Knightmare, thanks for the info...I did try to install 3dmesa and had error msgs as well with that. I switched frm RH to MD awhile back - might be time to check it out once again! Pat, larsl, thanks alot for the rpm! I ended up booting up win2000 and tested the win exe....Super! Couple of those flag...

well, tried doing a make install, did not succeed (didn't think it would) and now I have the newer sounds...gm lock sounds like a cow...and phantom zone sounds like a scary ghost or something! LOL

Cool, can't wait for the rpm's

(gotta be the operator of this computer is the problem!)

larsl, Fiber and Pat, Thanks for the help tonight... I re-tried larsl suggestion and ran ./configure and then make and things went better than the first time. First time running make, it just "looped" and kept doing the same thing over and over. About 20 or so lines (I know, lame response)...

tanks for the clue!

I have never had good luck (first, second maybe third time) with cvs. Fiber helped me out a revision or two ago with this. Seems I must not be installing something which is needed. Still trying though!

Fiber, You saved me before - and you make it sound so simple as usual! gcc is installed; [steve@dads steve]$ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

ok, Everytime a new release of BzFlag comes out, I end up having to wait for somebody to create mdk.rpm's for Mandrake. As usual, this new (yes I know, not an actual release) version of Bz doesn't install... The error msg's I am getting this time around don't appear to have anything to do with that ...

lol, popped into ducati earlier tonight to see how it was going - as an observer though. Since for some reason I recieve alot complants about my lag - which I don't understand because even on happypenguin which is apparently somewhere in Europe (at least not in the U.S.) my lag is about average 124 ...

Yeah, I had joined a clan back then in T2 - but found it next to impossible to actually play with anybody in it because no one could be online at the same time. Plus, I don't have the time like some ppl do to belong to a tribe or clan. Gotta family to raise, work, play R & R etc...LOL I just fou...

When gm's are around, by all means...even give an st an escort to the gm campers. on that server there are no gm's - but I guess really what I am looking at is when all of a sudden an st appears near by and you have seconds, no less than that - to come up with a solution to save yourself and you may...

Sooooo, Lets say you are on any team or even a rogue and you spot somebody who is either on another team or another rogue on radar nearby. You proceed to attack the target even though you have no clear line of sight to that target - you end up (in this example) jumping over a wall on your final appr...

I had found something on the net awhile back, that had the complete instructions for removing MS Messenger off a MS system. Seems the newer versions of Win (XP, 2000 and ME possibly) force MS Messenger to always connect to the web - and force it to stay installed. Not too sure if that is what is bug...

started off playing #1,
then tried my hand at #4

most of the time now though it is #3, although Jack has no place in my house
