Official forums for BZFlag.org

A youtube channel I don't think would be popular unless the game was popular, what BZFlag needs is individuals to make videos which can become popular, especially would be good if there are some popular youtubers that play BZFlag that can introduce their subscribers to it.

Best I could find, Linux is used on only around 0.7-2% of computers, it could be a good market to focus on and easier to market to, but the returns would not be nearly as big compared to Windows or Mac. IMO, the two biggest things that could help BZFlag would be 1) Youtube, there are no good BZFlag ...

added it to SourceForge now, hope it's an easy fix, that glitch is about the most annoying one I've seen in 6 or 7 years of playing BZFlag.

What's the purpose of posting flags you like that have already been rejected? They were rejected with good reason on the wiki, reasons that haven't changed since they were posted. Yeah, they'd be cool to use, but they are either not possible to implement in the game, would take the project in a dire...

Whenever going through teleporters near the edge of the teleporter at angles > about 45 degrees, tanks get stuck often. This may seem like not a very big thing to the devs, so what, a minor inconvenience for most, maybe cause one BS death per month of playing or so, but in GU League play, this is a ...

It would give a reason to use some of the less used flags. SE, MQ, QT, stuff like that are good flags, but there are better flags out there like GM, L, T, G that make it not practical to use them. Here's another idea, instead of limiting players to 2 flags or 3 flags or something in the arsenal, giv...

I want tanks to be able to hold 4 flags and use them all at the same time so i can combine cloaked shot (2.99.x) invis bullet, cloaking, and stealth

Right now anyone in the GU group can talk/spawn on Rikers servers. Only people invited to participate in the Rikers are supposed to join teams during the Riker Cup though. There were issues with people joining teams uninvited last Riker cup, and afterwards I did suggest adding spawn groups for EU an...

The new website looks great, really love the new look! The old site was the same one that was there when I started 6 years ago and was pretty nice, but definitely needed an update. Is the forums also going to receive a theme update to tie in with the new color scheme of the main site?

Can someone update the contact list on the GU forums to add me and T-Roy to the list of match reporters as well as check to make sure everyone on the list still has referee rights? Thanks,

If all players have to agree, then its not a mercy rule, its forfeiting which no team wants. Its no different than what we have now.

Just cause words have the same meaning doesn't mean they are both bad, you should know this by now... crap is closer to swearing than crud, crud is closer than poo, etc. Now, onto the some admins do some don't debate. Every time you break a rule, if an admin sees it, its up to that admin to determin...

The reason I suggest the log function instead of simply 2/3 is because generally the team leading at the 20 minute mark is more likely to still be leading at the 30 minute mark. So it should get a percent of the points closer to the standard 30 minutes. Same premise as if hour matches were allowed, ...

I gave my opinion on points to the admins a little while back, by multiplying the current formula for determining points by (log(x)+1), that would make a viable points multiplier for any length match over 3 minutes long, allowing for custom length matches. The reason I think shorter matches should r...

I'd say its pretty relevant. I can dodge slow regular bullets all day long, a guy with regular bullets has to shoot where he thinks you are going to be when the bullet reaches you, a laser only has to aim at your tank and fire. I do agree though that having both flags would be unnecessary unless a s...

stupid question, but have yall remembered to change it to accept textures from other sites besides bzflag.org? If you haven't, then that code you posted above wont show up for the people who haven't removed that restriction.

what sim racing? I play Nascar Racing 2003 Season, iRacing, Gran Turismo 5, and used to play Arca Sim Racing and Nascar Sim Racing.

Never tested that before, so I don't know how well it actually works.

I don't have that much experience on the server hosting side of things, but I'm pretty sure if you want to host a server, you can place the map anywhere and you just give the server the path to the map on your system. If you want to join other servers though, you don't need any maps, your game will ...

Here's my settings right now. Off screen on NVidia Control Panel is Texture Quality-- High Quality, Threaded Optimization-- Auto, Tripple Buffering-- off, V-Sync Use 3d Application setting. Also I upgraded my RAM from 2GB to 4GB at the same time I upgraded the GPU.

About a year ago I upgraded from an NVidia GeForce 7500 LE to an NVidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB. My old 7500 LE automatically used V-Sync to limit the game to 75 FPS, my old monitor's refresh rate. Since upgrading, I have tried using power saver in game and V-Sync out of game to limit my new GPU to 60 F...

but it only takes under 30 seconds to cross the hix map... o.O tanks are faster than light? That solves the lag dilemma, just use tanks instead of photons or electrons and lag would drop immensely!

Just surfin google and stumbled upon this server location list, I presume based on the domain that its by Blast, so thanks, Blast :) http://bzexcess.com/geolist/ It shows the distance of every server from roughly where you live. Distance isn't the only factor in determining which server would be lea...

need to have one jan 2012 then, we missed a cup, but that doesn't mean it has to die completely.
