trepan/all, I believe I have broken the program. I was trying to convert the bmp version of the attatched image into a single level(all blocks the same height) into a world/map file. The result creates blocks in the fashion:(this was after a black/white only image conversion) box position -293.44045...

I always played Wolfenstein with keyboard, but with Bzflag, I have found that a mouse helps me with aiming faster. Whether it is the whiskers or the little tail I am not sure. The amount of cheese that I go through is beginning to impact my household budget though. I tried using Cheeztiz, but high c...

I have gone there. What is the map name? I have also read in the back posts, that you have another "better" map on the launching pad" I would like to see that one as well, if possible.

I am looking for a png2bzmap converter. HBA had one, but it does not seem to function with the pngs I created. If you know of another picture to structure converter, it would be much appreciated. I worked for a few hours with VISIO to create a series of layers, I would like to turn that into a singl...

I am partial to the complex maps. Hence, each player should adjust his/her tastes to the KOBA scale. :)

I have attributed this map to Cedric, but if there is another author, he/she should get credit. There was a lot of work here.

Pyramids: A review

Pyramids by Cedric is presently being hosted. I suggest taking a long look at this map. And get a guide if you have a chance. IMHO, this map would make an excellent Rabbit Run map. It does have some possible camper problems, because of several of the tight transporters, and wide open spaces. After p...

The issue here, is that xmission is not an organized team server. This generates team scores that are completely trivial. I would agree that individual score is irrelevant, but it is a nice way to judge how things are going, and what group to attack next.(we all like to hunt a little)

I believe Mr. Snow_Monkey has a valid point. Although, I would hope that the captured flag points would be distributed among the various team members and not just the individual flag capturer. Having played CTF in an unofficial format, I can say that teams that do well, work together. One individual...

Arwen, do not feel alone. There are many that do not like to play the two shot servers. In personal retrospect, I must say that the network lag influence is much more frustrating on the existing CTF servers. This appears to be compounded by the low shot count and the poor spawn charactistics. I am a...

Maybe we should add this to the "Feature Request List"?
