All you need to do is supply the LAN ip address in the server field on the client manually, and people outside the lan will have no problem connecting using the list in game. This statement makes no sence, as I told that I can spawn on the map => People outside the lan don't have a problem connecti...

If you pay lots of $, then you will surely get this purpose-built item.

I spawned successfully right now!
(Check your report file if you don't believe it )

Not all routers support connecting back like that.

Indeed. It's a shame.

Help me save face so my son can think I'm cool. Good you mentioned it, else I wouldn't step in, as I know too well how family fathers feel. Hint: There is an easier way to get deified by your kids, in the case of a non-english mother-language. Translate for them the brand-new naruto-chapters, and y...

I might need some help to host this map so i need hosting tips...... Feel free to ask specific questions if you have some. Generally this could help: http://my.bzflag.org/w/Creating_A_Server Ok, some few hosting advices: -Make sure to have enough upload-speed. -Activate the build-in logging mechani...

Beenz, i congratulate you for your courage to speak truths. It is a nightmare out there and we all know it. New players are treated like dogs or shooting targets in some maps. Yeah, but too much truth is disliked by some people. Anyway, a little bit more truth: imo the most worse combination for a ...

Much truth you speak. Indeed, it is a sad situation, as so many maps exist - which not seldom are great - but they just don't get played. I usually get responses like, "We are here because were addicted to THIS MAP" Well yeah, they simply enjoy that map. Btw, people are very different. Oft...

Isn't delete in the game for a reason,it's for tactics Well, the basic idea for this key was JUST to self-destruct yourself, in the case that you get stuck somehow. Otherwise every tank that gets stuck would need to rejoin the game and looses all his points. However during matches I sometimes "...

Hmm, I guess this will be a really controversy discussion. From point of moral, I personally would disallow the del-usage. (If the client will be extended one day, in order to show a visual countdown on tanks which activated self-destruct, then I wouldn't have a problem with that). I'm sure that cod...

Yeah, saturos work is special, that's what I call unconventional and refreshing nice creativity. Additionally it somehow emanates pure dynamic. (Which fits perfectly to BZFlag, as static BzPlayers won't outlive) My personal favorite 1: http://www.phago.de/projects/shirt2/back.jpg (and the good old h...

This router setting isn't enough, as many Bzflag servers use ports outside the 5150-5200 range. (Just check the port-numbers in the server-list to get an idea)

Then connect to the internet without using your router, if that works then your router is definitely the issue.

It seems that Badger's has been down for about a week or two. Anyone have a clue as to why and when it will be back up ? I need to feed my addiction :cry: Yes, in another topic someone told that badgerking took down his server, and he told it won't be back up by him. Doesn't mean that other hosters...

Yep, a nice and straightforward idea. Of course this would be a (huge) advantage, so there could be a shot limit, extra small view Exactly, basically I have nothing more to add. (With a setting-option for an adjustable (small) view - as you proposed - I personally don't see why anyone could be scare...

strayers may have a 5 minute delay, but even so, i got 110 about a year ago... i think it should have updated by now it "just" logs data every 5 minutes So strayer will generally log a lower high score than it should be. In few cases, strayer (and other stats-pages) will log coincidentall...

i noticed that strayers isnt always accurate. alot of the people here say their highest score was higher than what it says on strayers. Sounds absolute logical, as strayer isn't realtime, it "just" logs data every 5 minutes. (Maybe in the past "strayer" did update only every 10 ...

Alternatively you can even create a new team, your own team.

XP: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/usin ... mouse.mspx (Section 7 shows: "Select a pointer speed")
(I would be wondering if setting the mouse speed wouldn't be the same on XP and "XP Media Center".)

Cpl Foggy Dewhurst wrote:How does one change their mouse speed?

Just tell us your operating system. (In the case of windows, I could tell you)

I registered on both (bzflag and GU) and still i cantgo in. In order to be able to spawn, the admins of the maps need to add you additionally to the global GU league group list. I would be wondering, if they would need more than few days time for this act. I need a team or something. Can i join som...

he has a lot of stuff on it. i think thats the problem. Well, but you told also that the same laptop worked fine in the past. I assume it had lots of stuff in the past, too, when it worked fine, as your dad sure didn't install lots of applications exactly right before he gave the laptop to you... a...

We need more information. Are you using this laptop for the first time? Or you already used the laptop in the past to play Bzflag, and did it had lag issues? Do you use Wireless Lan? If the signal strength is low, then this is likely the issue. How much fps do you get? (Some people even play with fe...
