Here are some screenshots of the map.

You seem to have links for those teleporters on the map, but they seem to be unfinished/not made. (They all lead to the same place, from the same place.)

It's called the shield flag. Learn it. Love it.

Other "shield flags" are usually if not always rejected.

Not bad for a first map, but here's some tips: Most CTF maps are symmetrical, here you went with an asymmetrical layout-generally it's hard to pull off a good asymmetrical 2-team CTF map. It's too open, once you get past the middle line, it's almost all open-usually bad. Try looking at popular maps,...

on an unrotated teleporter, X+, or "east" is the "front" of the teleporter, and X-, or "west" is the "back" of the teleporter. The teleporter rotates counter clock-wise, so for a teleporter rotated 90 degrees, the "front" will be pointing to Y+, or &...

That will work, yes. Groups within groups works.

BZFS can be used as a local, temporary server for testing. Only you will be able to get on it. to run it, just simply enter this in the terminal:

/path/to/bzfs.app -world /path/to/your/map.bzw

Then join 127.0.0.1:5154 (localhost) in bzflag.

-mp is the option you are looking for. It is used like this: -mp rogue,red,green,blue,purple,observers For your server you could use: -mp 0,10,10,0,0,10 -mp can also be used to set a max # of players over all (you can use both types to limit the max players, but still have teams) -mp 0,10,10,0,0,10 ...

When you join you just say, "I'm 13+" or "I'm not," ie: no DOB is recorded.

You can ask JeffM or Blast, or some other forum admin to help you with this.

Shift + down arrow ........... up
Shift + up arrow .............. down

This has been suggested and shot down, you are not the first to think of it.

It's too powerful, and only fun for the player holding the flag, if even. No point in trying to convince anyone how great it is.

There is a problem with the box and pyramid objects when they are drivethrough and have a material/textures/colors. Use meshboxes and meshpyramids instead. Or heck, just use meshes.

I'd like to see this on a public test server, IMHO, that is the best way to test a map. If not public, at least have a few people join it.

It looks good so far, I always enjoy seeing new maps from you, just want to see more becoming popular.

Glad to see new players that enjoy the game! :D Finding maps New maps are posted here, although not all of them are great. ;) http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewforum.php?f=64 This place is pretty old, not used anymore, but it still has some pretty cool maps on it: http://www.garrettsites.net/bzmaps/index....

I'm pretty sure polls were long since disabled.

I got my sister into playing, she plays sometimes as "maybe." My friend sometimes (sometimes) plays as "SpyGT." I also know this guy who goes by the callsign "Ausom."
If I add myself into the equation I know 3 BZFlaggers. (is it one or two g's?)

Thanks
hmm, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/ sounds nice.

Nothing that special, but hey, it's something.

That would be CUPCAKE.

You need to log into the server for it to check whether you are banned or not. Checking if you are banned or not at every server will put more load on all of the servers. Just try not to get banned.

Of course, anyone can correct me if I am wrong.

Honestly, why make it more complex than it needs to be?
+ is a registered and identified nick.
- is a registered and unidentified nick.
@ is a registered and identified nick that can ban/shortban.

You don't really need to know anything else.

Everyone, please, it is obvious that my avatar is the best.

You should chose your own callsign, as it defines who you are. Whatever you like, you go with.

If you really need someone to chose though, I personally prefer Fish Pigeon to both those others.

It's -conf, not -config.

The whole list of options is the list of valid options. If "-whatever" is listed as invalid, check the list for the "correct" one.

if it give you the acceleration limit thing, you can ignore that. (no need for -a 50 38)
