/setgroup does not work if you do not have a userdb. you need to specify a groupdb in order to add anyone to it.

/setgroup is seperate from /set

make sure you have -fb in your options, or in the config.
-fb stands for flags on buildings.
-sb allows tanks to spawn on buildings

You can rotate arcs, meshboxes, meshpyrs, spheres, cones, and meshes using the 'spin' property. It will not work with normal boxes or pyramids as far as I know. Spin works as such: spin angle nx ny nz where 'angle' is the angle, turning clockwise. nx, ny, and nz are true/false toggles, which change ...

it's just a few vertical mesh planes with the cloud texture and a texture matrix to make the texture move. I think louman also has the planes in the shape of an elongated triangle, or a diamond with one side elongated.

Both are indeed in worldUnits/second

Just google for "BZEdit for windows"- you won't get a virus.

Also, for linux you can use BZFed, or BZEdit, although you will have to compile both. If I recall correctly, BZEdit doesn't compile anymore, so either using BZFed or BZEdit for windows would be your best bet.

to bind noGUI to toggle, just add this line: iirc, it's case sensitive.

The person at fault is the designer of Tricolor, obviously. That pyramid didn't place itself! ;) Sorry for the cliché, but it's just a game. Teamkills happen. When they are intentional it is not okay, but when it is an accident, no one is "at fault," and no one should get angry at the othe...

It looks too bright. Make it less bright. Yay.

The race-to-flag idea sounds fun, but it seems to just be an open map.

google is your friend. No, really.

This looks like it'd be very fun to play! I like how you "elongated" the world with the teleporters.

Please read http://my.bzflag.org/w/Flag_ideas It has a list of already suggested flags, both rejected and accepted, as well as submission guidelines. If you have an idea, that follows the guidelines, feel free to add it to that. Both of these ideas seem exactly like the flags in the game already. Ac...

I too got a 101 on TOTAL CHAOS, however I overshot a little so I had to die a few times to get the 101 screenie!

These maps seem to never have players, despite being amazing The tuxee rabbit map by cods Overlord Grassroots Tons of maps seem just off the awesome scale, being playable but not interesting, or interesting but not playable. However, those are better than those 5-15 minute rampages in bzedit :p

A hide-able lag gauge for lag like for fps would be nice

Judging by past forum posts, it seems that many people do not know how to edit the config file by hand, or more specifically, the settings and 'tricks' of a config file. I have linked to it many times, but I feel that a separate thread should be dedicated towards it. "It," being the wiki a...

me1, what the hell are you on about. ok whatever if it's a privilege for one to join a server, but lag is in EVERY internet game, agreed? THEREFORE it is part of a game. It is only an issue when it's something that's only a problem for some and not a problem for others. Do you know that even two pe...

This is pretty much taking the mesh from the map you have up right now, and adding a bunch of random boxes in pyramids in the corners. This is not quality work. This isn't even bad work. It looks like you didn't even try to make a good map. Hell, it doesn't even look like you tried to make a map . P...

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?? I posted it exactly how it is, except it doesn't have names and my IP. Listen to yourself. You just said "what is the difference? I posted it exactly how it is, except different." If you want someone to help you, please do what they ask of you, and don't yell at the...

it's got nothing to do with whoever the server owner is wasting the resources, and it is your right to be able to join any server, it is not a right ONLY if you're banned from that server, and having high lag is NOT a justifiable reason to ban anyone, especially if their lag is within server laglim...

Wow! Nice ratio, Bambino! If only I could be as skilled as the players in this topic.

BZEditWin32 is not under active development, and hasn't been for years.

There is currently a graphical bzw editor under development in the GSoC, called "BZWorkbench," which will be multiplatform.

why do we need the "Last Man Standing" when there is allready "King Of The Hill"? Because "Last Man Standing" isn't "King of the Hill"? Last Man Standing: Everyone has one life, last one alive wins. King of the Hill: Infinite lives. In a pre-defined hill, who...

The problem is that no has written a config file howto becuase they all feel it is restricted information I suppose. Fix it then. Get rid of that feeling. You are right, the problem is that no one has written a config file how-to. No where on the gu league site does it link to or have any instuctio...

Hey, since I just noticed that you guys are still fighting over how config files are cheating since not everyone knows how to edit them, why don't you expand the wiki article and refer players to it? Oh, no, that's right. That'd actually solve a problem, and then you guys wouldn't have anything to f...
