If it doesn't respond to kill -9, then it's your kernel/system that has a problem and is nothing to do with bzflag as such. Video drivers are of course the most likely suspect. If MacOS ps is like Linux ps, then something like: ps axwl | grep bzf should have one column that gives the kernel system c...

You could try the bzflag-2.0.0 RPM from freshrpms.net You can do this by adding support for the freshrpms yum repository as per the start of: http://home.gagme.com/greg/linux/fc3-tips.php Then just do: yum update bzflag (or yum install bzflag) 2.0.2 isn't there yet, but no doubt someone will get the...

Firstly, try other bzflag servers. It could have been a server problem that made everyone go NR. Similarly try a different sourceforge mirror for your download. It could just be coincidence. I know from experience that some mirrors can be temperamental. I use XP too (it's only useful for games, not ...

Re: Admin policies
Yes I understand... that's the current situation. My point and question is whether such deliberate anarchy is a good idea. I doubt anything which would replace it would be any better, and I'm sure it could be worse. Server operators voluntarily use thier time, bandwidth, and computers to run server...

Re: Admin policies
You don't seem to understand. BZFlag is NOT a democracy, and it is NOT homogenous! Every server is different, and server owners have total control over their own servers. Yes I understand... that's the current situation. My point and question is whether such deliberate anarchy is a good idea. Conta...

Looks like you are missing a whole bunch of RPMs that provide libraries used for development. They will have been an optional part of the FC3 install. I think this should do it, if you're online, but this is off the top of my head so don't trust it: up2date SDL-devel ncurses-devel If you then repeat...

Admin policies
I was thinking about the more general issues raised in http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3082 , which is now locked (but more generally is on-topic for this forum instead). Server owners run their servers how they want. That's a given. But are the admins they delegate to (and I'm an admin on a...

Toaster: As far as I know, the primary intention was to give GM a chink in its armor, so to speak. Fixing (or working around, if you prefer) the gm suicide bug was a secondary goal and pleasant side effect. A problem is that if you don't like that behaviour, and set _gmActivationTime to 0 or someth...

That's what I got when I my IP address was banned - they seem to like banning whole subnets or ISPs there because it was already banned before I started playing. Mail bzflag@dragon.org with your IP address, say what's happening and ask for the block to be removed on your IP address. If you have a dy...

RPG is right then. The strafe jump is the best way. The thing is that they are in something of a position of power if you do that. Sometimes the best option is just to back off and do something else (and that sometimes tempts them into coming off the building to try to shoot you, but you're watching...

Wow, RPG.... according to that screenshot you play with the tank tracks displayed. I find it gets in the way of the game as you can't see down any more! It seems like a nice gizmo, but ultimately if it gets in the way of gameplay I can't use it (like lighting and shadow GUI options). BIYA: the quest...

I worked it out eventually. It turns out that without telling me, my ISP enabled a transparent proxy that intercepted all port 80 traffic. That changed my apparent IP address when bzflag connected to the list server to get a token for authentication. The workaround for people in this position is to ...
