Official forums for BZFlag.org

If you a really serious about programming, then you also need someone to help you out when you run into trouble. This forum is not the right place to ask newbie programming questions, so you need another forum where you can ask for help when your code does not work. Usenet is the best place that I ...

Anyways, I downloaded the compiler, and I need to find the template for a plug-in.

EDIT: I'm having trouble finding it. Search is getting useless for downloading it.

Get the bzflag source...

What sort of scale were you thinking of?
For example, how big would the tank be in comparison to a can of baked beans? or compared to a human..?

LouMan rocks, that much is true. But there are certainly other mappers capable of creating such a map.

SW and L beat GM in a lot of cases
WG can beat BU...

Just... wow. That sure is looking to be something special.

Come on, you must know what he means. Trying to cause some grief or something? Sheesh.

My post was entirely genuine. I have no clue what he is doing.
It's not possible to download a programming language.

You're "downloading C++"? How does one download a programming language?

The topic has been adressed, shot down and trodden over, multiple times before.

I'm glad it's had such a positive influence... I must thank the rest of MDG for helping with with the questions, and, of course, LouMan for being so incredibly kind to answer them even though he's very busy with real life (tm) at the moment. I'll be interviewing more folks soon, starting with some o...

do exactly what me1 said. it will work...

Why the hell would you not rather just KILL THE ENEMY ?!?! ERROR! The idea is that you can keep enemies at bay so you can maneuver around without a tank chasing you. I.E.: There's a large box with a small exit. You can plaster it with bullets on a non-ricochet server, and trap them. And why the hel...

LouMan is one of the greatest mappers for bzflag and, as a member of MDG, was kind enough to answer my questions about his experience in mapping, and bzflag in general.
See exactly what he said here: http://mybzflag.net/

I have a faster home internet connection than 6Mbps.
Keep up the good work anyway, nn, just concentrate on fewer servers.

Ok, blast, then no, flight, you do not have explicit permission to use the images. Contact the owner and ask.
However, in my opinion, trepan will have no problems with you using them (even without permission), as this is what delusion has discovered.

I find it hard to believe that Trepan would ever have a problem with anybody using his images, as long as the use was BZFlag. Sure, I agree, but we can't read exactly what Trepan's mind is, and saying it's alright when we haven't heard anything officially from him could be in err. He didn't say it ...

Please don't double post. Use the edit button...

Firstly, please don't triple post. Secondly, pretty much all the lines in your options block should probably go in a conf file. Some of them have to. Thirdly, spin works great and will do what you want it to - If you use it right. spin angle x y z For example, this line will spin an object 45 degree...

I said that would be one if that was implanted, not in it now

The idea is you can keep enemies off a certain area. Either that, or to blow up tanks who think its a graphics glitch . ;p

Why the hell would you not rather just KILL THE ENEMY?!?!

You are confusing bzfs and bzflag config files. They are totally different. Start a totally fresh, empty new plain text file and add these lines to it: -world C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\Face_The_Triad.bzw -publicaddr 68.205.202.237:5154 +r -j This has NONE of the client options, which you do NOT ...

We have callsign tab complete already, I used it the whole time I played the game but found out recently that it only worked for me because I had "Jump while typing" Off.

plural of vertex = vertices

L4m3r had some cacti in his compound map, iirc.

Yea, I agree. Private messages should stay private . They never were. This is a good idea though. I've come across many incidents where someone has reported someone cussing via Team Speak. This will help remove those players as it happens :twisted: Nice Const. What does this have to do with teamspe...

It's not always better on other OSs though. Someone recently was telling me that they could not up-to-date drivers for their new windows system and that bz was running a lot better in OS X.
