The worse you spell it the more diabolical it sounds

The ww zone plug in may help, maybe a base defense button. You push it, and all the traps go off!

What are the traps gonna be like? A WW laser? Maybe holes that kill you, or a bullet drop, which is lots of bullets from the ceiling.

I'm trying to get on Wings Wizardry, but it never seems to be on. Still trying. And gun-sense, that would actually work. You could give a specific team a certain flag that you mod to do just that.

A Vicious Muffin What I'm saying is the turret only rotates when the turret is planted. Constitution I suppose you could do that. Make the tank vulnerable to shots coming down, since I thought burrowed tanks were simply invulnerable. Silly me :oops: . The idea is especially for not velocity servers...

Downloaded, I found no bugs so far while playing bloodbath. It's smooth and I can play it. The observer info is a lot of data though.. lol.

I've been thinking about an idea. What if you could choose if your tank was a bit faster, but couldn't turn as fast, turns faster but can't move as quickly, or is just normal? You could expand that to having different teams have different characteristics, like red team moves faster,blue team turns b...

Its pretty cool. I'm trying to improve on it somewhat, but bzfs is acting dumb atm so ill try later, and put it up if you want.

Do you mean make a totally new flag, mod an existing one, or something completely different?

That could be neat. Then, make the objects invisible, but become more visible as you get close. Or, a game where players shoot PZ bullets, so they can't kill each other, but instead hit targets. You get points for that.

If its destiny, then why has the ceiling not crushed me, or why didn't the floor give way because I defied my destiny?

Hey, everyone. If you're wondering, I haven't played as much since I got BF2142, its a pretty good game. I might come on now and then, but not as often as I used to. See you at the battlefield~

That would be awesome!
You could make a crazy maze with no radar, and when you drive into the wrong color wall, you explode .
You might have switches to open a door (It still is there, but becomes translucent.)

blast

I mean that they could make the "hit" on a gm register all over the map.
A full shot state would laggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg(You get the point)[/b]

I already figured that on a 100x100 map, you need 100,000 ww points, and because the shots are client side, not server side, and the server doesn't "know" actually where a bullet is. It knows shot and hit. And if you had the clients download the areas, a cheater would make them all go off ...

Unless you know what its like to have ST, almost kill someone, then suddenly they find SE and spin around to shoot you,or get SR and squish you.

I play (Depending on my flag and location) from 0%, on a no-radar server (DUH!), to 99% on a very dark server. Normally, I use both to counter CL and ST, as well as getting high accuracy.

You know, that would be sort of cheap. It would be easy to see enemy ST tanks sneaking up on you, thus imbalancing the game

On a similar note, I'm being asked to change my callsign there by an admin, because the word boink is filtered there or considered a curse word. Is that dumb? I've never received complaints until now.

Thanks for all the help. What I'm designing is a long map that has two teams. Each has an identical set of difficult obstacles (and lots of sniping opportunities) I'm working on making a one-sided mesh (you know, shootthrough one side, not the other.

what would the format of that be? This?

I'll try both of those.
EDIT: the simple world size/scale thing doesnt work, trying the other one..
EDIT: The mesh works, but how do I change the playing area? You get autokicked for leaving the normal 400x400 area ;p

Does anyone know how I could make a long, thin map (as in the border walls, changing the area they cover, to like 800X200).

Is there a way to resize a map in BZEdit? As in make it say, 800 X by 400 Y large?

Similar ideas to the homing SW have been widely discussed and rejected in the past. IIRC, long reload has been approved by Tim Riker - don't expect it any time soon. We already have short reload - it's Rapid Fire. Rapid Fire and Machine Gun already lower range. I mean SLOW, not SHORT. EDIT: I see t...

I finished the first version of my map, but I can't host it (comcast stinks, spotty internet sometimes.) Here it is: (Braces for comments that it has no textures) EDIT: Forgot the .conf file, here it is, assuming you need it. EDIT AGAIN: How do I resize the world? I'm trying to make a long, thin lev...
