This is awesome! I just started playing with the source code recently, and tonight I managed to implement part two of my last post. I found that bzflag already uses a quadradic function for the joystick, which may be better than linear, but still proved kind of jerky in the lower range. I managed to...

Question: If a client was modified to deliver the information scishop suggested, but was not in wide circulation, would it be considered an unfair advantage? In addition to his excellent list of interface improvements, I would like to see a graphical depiction of an enemy's flag when I identify them...

Now that I think about it, there was a map called the River that was active when 2.0 was released. It had a ramp that used physics drivers to push the player up in small increments, and took a while to take you to the top. If you tried to jump to speed things up, you often overshot the wall that the...

Wow. I just did something I've never done before: I took a serious look at the insides of bzflag. While searching for an unrelated part of bz code, I stumbled upon ./src/common/KeyManager.cxx, where I saw that the array const char* KeyManager::buttonNames[] = { ... does not contain definitions beyon...

Joystick sensitivity toggle
I've found problems with each of the three input devices I've tried so far in my bzflag career. The keyboard gave me speedy reactions at the steep price of accuracy and dexterity. However it does have the slowdown key (A) to make climbing platforms slightly easier, and automatically reduces your tur...

Gamepad: joystick's button press doesn't register
I have a logitech dual action gamepad, and I'm wondering why every normal button can be assigned to a command via the input menu or the configuration file, but not the signal generated when I press either of the joysticks in (I'm not talking about the axes, but the "click"). Kcontrol recog...

Can't login to CVS, connection refused
Beta bzflags don't seem to like me. This time around, my problem is connecting to CVS, something that has never given me trouble before. $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bzflag login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/bzflag CVS password: cvs [lo...

Is there alsa sound support in beta?
I noticed in the more recent versions that there is a menu for setting a sound driver and sound device. In an attempt to get bz sound effects to play over more than just two speakers, I tried setting driver to "alsa" and device to "ch51dup". (I should note that this setup already...

As cool as it sounds, the problem with this feature is that I do not want to hear an amateur’s narrating voice when I'm playing bzflag. I'd want it to sound polished and enhanced (and for some reason my mind keeps wandering back to the announcer from Super Smash Brothers). If I choose to have the so...

I would not suggest encouraging these kids to use online servers. All popular public servers have occasional language problems (although gamesunited seemed comparatively sheltered the last time I was on there), and the administrators probably don't need a classroom full of ten year olds to watch ove...

Keybindings clarification
This isn't the most brilliant question, but it's been bugging me for a while - what is the difference between a keybinding marked as "down" and one marked as "up"? I've experimented with them but the only thing I've noticed is that keydown entries are for toggle settings and keyu...

Well to sue, you need to register the copyright first. Registering it can be retroactive however; you can wait until after the infringement occurs. But even if the map maker doesn't register it, it's still considered copyrighted by virtue of the fact that he made it. The only thing that allows other...

IANAL, but as far as I know, the license of bzflag itself has absolutely nothing to do with the license for someone's maps. I can see nothing wrong with editting a map locally for experimentation and learning (it'd be pretty difficult to prevent that, after all), but if you were to totally rip off a...

I think this is an excellent idea. The short range would work well to balance its awesome power, which could be further tweaked with longer reload times. I suggest the option of reducing linear/angular velocity, to make targeting more difficult - it'd be like evading a GM sort of. As for tking, ther...
