OK, I got some eyes on it, it looks great, exept it's lazy and on it's side...
bzfs keeps choking on the "spin" parameter. Anyways, bend your neck
left and you can see it fine.

I know, Im gonna fix that soon as I can

I made a superstar, needs a bit more detail but here it is.

Hmm, I was thinking about all the newbies on BZFlag, and their problem. like Jumping to dodge, teamkilling, yada yada yada. Then I had an Idea for a map; Tactical training. There are different rooms which employ different challenges, the one I'm concentrating on is dodging. For example, one room can...

Hmmm, if I can figure it out, I ought to be able to
host it myself. Glad your'e so eccentric about it.

Hmm, I think I might do it. I'm not sure, we will see.

Hey, a tip; next time you post the screenies, try and convert them to
the JPEG format. it loads faster then the PNG.

Anyhow, thats pretty cool. What did you model the tanks in?

That is awesome. What did you use to get the
gameplay recordings? I always wanted to
make a commercial for bzflag.

Next time I suggest to cut out your admin-password. ;) If you are going to make a ctf-map, you should add "-c" to your conf to enable ctf. And "-mp 0,5,0,5,0,0" should actually be a line of your config, maybe I overlooked it but I couldnt find it. Besides that it looks good to m...

Sure. Here it is.

You sure its this? -mp 0,x,0,x,0,0

(x= Number of red and blue players.)

1. No, my client is set to being red, not observer.
2. Yeah, its just like that.

OK, Im trying to test my map (Scale of CTF). The server will go up, start running, I connect to it, I get on OK, but I am always an observer. This is driving me up the wall. I can make it so that you can only be red or blue, but then I am an observer again. This only happens with that map. The map f...

OK, hopefully this is the last update, then I can release it.
I added some platforms to the center and they lead up to
the bases. set at such a height that every platform should
take a jump to get to. Maybe add sommore stuff to
the platforms sticking out, but I think its good for
now. Whaddya think?

Thats very nice, wish I had a mac Ah, might be getting one when we move. A mac or a PC, hopefully a mac.

Wow, it looks great! I like the towers.

OK, I am REALLY liking how it's pulling together. I spun
some of the boxes on the ground, and for the other cells
I added some pyramids. And some pyramids at the very ends of the map
will be conveyor belts, once everything is completed.

Some Screenies of what I have down so far.

OK. A little enhancement to the platforms sticking out of the center, and some alternate spawn areas. (corners) And some boxes on the ground, though Im thinking about rotating the boxes so they make a pinwheel shape. 1. Platforms in between the floating pyramid diamonds, maybe? Hmm, I dont think tha...

I like it! It's got a nice base setup and stuff! Suggestions/ideas: 1. Platforms in between the floating pyramid diamonds, maybe? 2. More stuff to hide behind or jump on on the ground level? Looking good. Like I (ahem) posted, I'm radically changing some aspects of the map, like the ground. The cen...

Bluu, that was my post. Crap. I forgot to log my brother out.
Ah, well.

Ooooh, crap. I posted it with my brother's account. Uhh,
ok. just ignore that its him, just pretend its me, and
nothing happened, ok?

It looks to be a nice map. Will you add something you can't find in the other maps to make this one "special" so people won't leave it after two weeks like many other maps? Hmm, I can try. It's probably going to take a while, though. OK, I think I got it. i dont know why, i just dont like...

That would look a lot better, it should'nt be too hard for the devs to
make it, perhaps in the next BZ release.

Ooh look, I'm on that list!

Darn, that would make maps so cool.

Is there code to make boxes and pyramids move? If not,
can it be implemented in the next release? This would add
a whole lot to map-making and everything!

Hmm, L4m3r had a server (enhanced FFA I think) where the rogue SW was always smaller than the other team's SW. Did he do it by plugin? Someone was going nuts about it and using very, very colorful vocabulary to describe his dilemma. does meteorite know how L4m3r made the rogue SW smaller than the no...
