Official forums for BZFlag.org

How can it be that someone chasing me and having a V-flag can be faster than I am having a V-flag too?

I don't know where it is located, but usually it should help to make every directory world readable & executable and every file world readable. Also any executable should have execute rights for the world. I think this will help: find /Applications/BZFlag-2.0.8.app/ -perm +0100 -print0 | xargs -...

So it looks like you're using the second stick to scale the output of the first one,

Nope. If the second one is used, the first one is ignored. If the second one is moved all the way up, the tanks travels at half it's maximum speed.

Simple, encrypt the password per computer hardware information. It would require you to have the exact same computer hardware to do it... I mean how many people know how to get that information? 1. If you use the Hardware as a key you have to a) be able to generate such a key on *any* Platform (Win...

Just after I'm shot or when I pause. Sometimes when there are only 1 or 2 others around.

After all: This is war

I don't use the keyboard for the "important" tasks. I bought a Gamepad. (See attached Picture) As you can see there are "Shoulder" buttons (2 on each side) which can be pressed with the index finger. So I can reach with my right index finger: Lock & Drop Left: Jump & Rest...

Just for the sake of completeness, I saw your chat in IRC and post it here for others to be helpful too. I hope, that's okay. kanotix1: I have kinda a weird problem with bzflag. I seem not to be able to login with my registred nick without crashing the game... ?? JeffM2501: kanotix1, what OS? kanoti...

Okay... I'll try my best in translating romfis' post (I don't do a translation by the word but by the meaning): Right CBG and Mark!! :D HA! That's what I meant, Mark! and CBG! :D I think, JeffM didn't get me right, unless I mistranslated his post. My concerns are not about a safe computer but about ...

Because he is German? Nope. He isn't. He's Austrian. (Just nitpicking) Besides, I understood him perfectly. I didn't understand the english part. Maybe it's because my english (I am german) isn't the best. But as you could see from the german discussion between him and me, everything is clarified n...

I'm used to become that guy on any forum I'm in. But don't you have to admit that he gives the impression I stated?

OS?
Installed from where?
Any Messages in the log?
Too few info to be helpful!

The following post is German only as it is not intended to be BZ specific but to clarify misunderstandings between romfis and me. Mein English ist schlecht und das wissen SIE auch Woher soll ich das wissen? Ich wußte z.B. nicht: Ich hatte leider kein ENGLISH in der Schule, Dennoch: Google englisch i...

I don't have a problem with that. They should however give you some warning that language is monitored and there should be a list of what is permissable ... Do you know how this sounds to me? It sounds like a small child crying because his favourite toy has been taken. Come on. Don't be a sissy and...

A-Delusion wrote:What do you think?

Yesterday I tried "progressive" and I, as a bad player, didn't like it very much. I need good flags to be able to hit others. The best I could reach was level 2 and that was even more frustrating than playing on a standard, crowded server.

Constitution wrote:Or did I completely miss the point of what he said?

I think he means the password in config.cfg for the client. You are talking about the server, aren't you?

gapa wrote:Hi everybody

I regulary have a crash bug when I use shockwave very near blue walls,

G4 (1,67GHz) here too, but 10.4.7. No freezing at all. Which map (server) do you use? Can you show it to me?

Google ENGLISH:

Why do you use that. It's useless. Even bad school english is better than that!

brad2901 wrote:on't care = abstain = don't vote yes or no, no need for an exta option

I disagree: Abstain can also be: didn't notice a vote is going on.

OTOH: If the message persists, you can dismiss it with a "don't care" vote.

Like it too. But not just Yes / No but Yes / No / don't care

Why not make _gmTurnAngle "killer dependent"? Someone with a higher kill ration gets a value nearer to 1.2, someone (like me) with a negative value get a value nearer to 0.75

And bullets won't ricochet nor would you be able to go or shoot through walls.

Hi! I already posted it as source but I'm thinking about creating a patch with configurable options. The idea is the following: If you have a joystick or gamepad with more than 2 axes, you currently ca't really use the other 2 axes. But if you're playing with such a gamepad, you might have the same ...

It's awesome.

I'd only change the last picture to something like the attached (with a better font and color of course!)

Thanks, Jeff, but I already stumbled when it comes to compiling for Mac OS. I found the (a?) solution but don't know what to do with this info. The changes need to be done in a GUI and I'm not so experienced with XCode. Whom can I mail? Here are the required changes I made: I downloaded the tarball ...

Mal abgesehen davon, daß "capen" kein deutsches Wort ist und allein deswegen schon eine automatische Übersetzung fehlschlagen muß, verstehe ich absolut nicht, was Du uns hier vermitteln willst. Mir erschließt sich einfach der Sinn nicht. (My English) Despite the fact that "capen"...
