features include: left mouse button, right mouse button, middle button/scroll wheel

have you decided if it is a ctf or ffa map yet?
i would like a base with walls made out of stacked twinkies or zebra cakes... just to add to the "inside of a store" feeling the map should have

tab complete isn't needed because admins can ban and such by using slot numbers (#0, #1, etc.)

big brother? they must not know that most servers log all chat, and i happen to log everything. if they pick their nose on my server, i'll know.

as to privacy, PM's arent that secure over the internet. if you have sensitive info to send, use a more secure method, possibly a PPtP tunnel or such.

There a plenty willing to host maps for others, myself included. But generally they only get hosted if they are relatively playable. Screenshots, at least, of your map would be required. and you have a better chance of someone seeing your map if you post it and the screenshots in the "Map Rele...

Okay, so we all camp (and most of us will admit it), but personally I think that camping is something to be discouraged rather than encouraged. It may be fun for the individual doing it, but think of the other players who may get killed many times over without even engaging the camping player in a ...

this map i definitely isn't feeling any love from these people.
<sarcasm> way to be encouraging guys </sarcasm>

sounds like your card settings are the problem, not vista you should set most of the features to "application settings", because not all apps use the features, and will not work if you have it set to be always on, which would force the app to run with features that can make its output garb...

not letting you log in... does it give you an error message. those can be very helpful

Put this command into AUTOEXEC.BAT and reboot: set path C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.8 whoa there!,,, don't do that, you'll replace the previous path var, and that can cause problems on boot... instead make it... set path %PATH%; C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.8 that should append the directory to the pa...

scamjet: i hosted your map for an hour yesterday and invited some people to try it. the result: it was ok, but you might want to fill in some of that open space with boxes, pyramids, etc... not bad for a first map though... good job

The only truly poorly designed part of the map are whatever causes Laser to ricochet off the teleporters in the towers. Lan: lasers dont rico off teleporters, the shot gets teleported, ricochets off the wall in the tower, and goes back through the teleporter again, possibly hitting someone(like you...

heh, i see my place on the list to the right

hmm... narrow paths? breaks in the paths? no walls?... looks like there's nowhere to hide now

hold "g" for no spin?... it could be set so that the shot has no spin unless "f" or "h" is held down... makes it easier to change between spin directions
