Official forums for BZFlag.org

I'm on a mac, and am missing the BZFlag folder in /Application Support that has my config and maps, etc. Any idea as to why its gone? Seems as though its been moved or misplaced but searching for it on my mac proves useless.

Thanks

I like the idea. Now that there has been decent discussion, my questions about how the league would retain the significance of teams has been answered (it was the only flaw I could point out). I was skeptical at first about how the "team" aspect would be kept, but with all the discussion n...

Oh okay makes sense.

Thanks Const

When I send a PM via the forums, some send right away, some are sent to my outbox and sent but on a delay, and some stay in my outbox and never get sent. Why is this?

real quick, and correct me if i'm wrong, or if I'm repeating something.

if the loser of match #2 goes on to win match #4 and play in the championship, that team should have to beat the winner of match #3 twice. it seems like it makes a win or loss in the first round pointless.

I saw jhs's post about the new OS X, but wasn't sure if our issues related, so I started my own thread. Since I upgraded to the new OS X (Mavericks 10.9), my lag has been crazy (as high as 2000ms sometimes). The lag issues did not occur until right after I upgraded to Mavericks. Graphic wise, the ga...

Best of luck to all the partners/trios that are participating in the tournament.

Well before it goes up, I noticed the crowding just playing with bots. So what I did was remove the "X" or "cross" from the Pillbox map to open up the center. I also adjusted and removed some of the stockade boxes that surrounded what would be the pillbox bases. Too many caused u...

Hi everyone. This is such a simple idea for a map, and so easily put together, and maybe I'm years late and this has come up already. But what I did was combined the HiX map with a standard Pillbox map to make "PillHiX." I've been around BZFlag, on and off for several years, and so much en...

There is no BZFlag folder in Application Support, that's where I first looked, and that's why I was confused. And mahem, I did that, but again, it says ~/Application Support/BZFlag/~ but I can't find that folder on my mac. EDIT: Constitution, I found it. Thanks. I was in the wrong directory. Thanks ...

Hoping this is the right thread to post under, I've got a rather simple question. I just got a Macbook Pro a few weeks ago that runs on 10.8.4; I got it for college. I've downloaded BZFlag and it works fine. However, I'm still a bit new to the OS X experience and I can't find the folders where thing...

Exactly. That proves my point even more. Just the many changes and effects it would cause the server is unbearable. From variables, to lag, to code. Unneccesary.

I think we get that blast.

And when talking about pushing other tanks, it also brings other variables. If your at x speed and hit a tank, then the tank will travel x units far. And in general, tanks in BZFlag cant move sideways unless on physics. What if you hit the side of a tank?

With or with the steamroller flag, running into another tank and blowing up will get very annoying. In a map like Castle Warfare, it would get way hectic. seems lik a bad mod.

tanks, at least as i see it, can explode in different ways. On MW2, tanks are exploded quickly, with little smoke, and at a high circumference. But other map/servers have tanks exploding in a small area, slowly, with a big cloud of smoke that can distract you. And maybe its just me, so correct me if...

allejo is right, being theres a section here called map releases. but im getting to that Propane wants a site the allows players to see cool pics of some interesting maps people submit. i see it as like a gallery of different map screenshots, with the ability to download and host them publicly, or ...

haha youll see them on the streets next

i think he means creating multiple WW each with an increasing _shockIn/OutRadius to give the effect of a single SW getting bigger and bigger.

Not having the time, or the patience to register is probably the silliest thing Ive ever heard. It takes mearly 2 minutes to register, and you have alot more capabilities... *use of forums *ability to use the PM system *privilege to join a leauge and match *given set of perms on servers (varies) *mu...

haha thanks strak! i love being a part of the forum.

I really think this is a valuable plug-in and your commitment to it is what others lack. Good luck on finishing up and im sure everyone is looking forward to it

If im correct (@ devs) i think he means lik a local server for him and his brother...

Search the forums on how to start a server.

Thanks AW. Im workin on such a simple mesh im almost embarrased but everyone has to learn at some point and i appreciate the help.

Thanks. I got it down

I think this is a marvelous plug-in. Great idea here Strak. I think I've got one, but its a bit general.

Aeriel Attack- kill 'x' players while remaining above ground without a flag (on a box/building)

agreed. asking and waiting for an admin may be time consuming. We know your here upon your choice of free time, but it would save you work (which i think youd appreciate)
