True, but often for me there are only teammates in front of me and I don't always have time to do a 180. Nice idea, but not especially needed... If there are only team mates in front of you, you would not fire the GM in the first place, so there is no reason to unlock. Just use common sense, and pa...

CC - This is already fulfilled by the CB flag. This would just make the game more complicated and from how you've put it, still be completely predictable and not really detrimental. Something like this has already been suggested. JP - Well, 100 BZUnits is a tad high, but it should be changeable. I t...

You could either put in the options section of your map file, or in your server configuration file. The path is wherever the plugin is on your computer. Timed CTF is included in the install directory of BZFlag version 2.0.10. On Windows, for example, this path is "C:\Program Files\BZFlag 2.0.10...

You can use the shift or fixedshift function of a texture matrix to make the texture move. There is no way to automatically synchronize the rate at which the texture moves to a Timed CTF plugin. You would have to do it manually; by trial and error, unless you could somehow figure out the ratio of te...

the shot clock is not synchronized with the timed ctf plugin. but if you know how please tell me. right now the shot clock is only a picture. and thank you for your support A Distraction! :) oh yeah what is choppy the floor or the shot clock pic? I am just speculating as to how to handle the shot c...

and sigonasr2's already made a basketball map So what? If Ha You Got Shot By Me wants to, he can make a newer, better basketball map. Normally I would say it's best to keep away from other mappers' ideas, but it's not like sigonasr2 owns basketball, or came up with the design of the basketball cour...

This was discussed earlier, and although you did not specifically mention HTML as a medium for the game, the thread here quite thoroughly covers the situation for an undertaking like this.

Ah, well I didn't consider it as a bad flag. Even so, I don't see a practical application that isn't already covered by various movement impeding flags.

You should go here and get some information on proposing new flags. Besides, most (if not all) of these ideas have been suggested in the past. Sometimes more than once. The only somewhat new idea is the "spin" flag, but I fail to see the practicality in that. If you are going to shoot some...

"The Cure for Your Disease" and whenever he killed someone, he would say "Cured!".

The way I see it, here are the possibilities:

1. The owner is too lazy to set it up.
2. The owner doesn't know how to set it up.
3. The owner deliberately doesn't want to set it up, for any number of reasons that are only possible to verify by interviewing all server owners.

I was able to run the CTF enabled map without any problems using the changes mentioned in this thread. Update the attached map file or post what you have in your map options section so we can see what you're doing.

You don't have to worry about world size. You would just have to make your own boundries with a [invisible] mesh surrounding the main area. Once you do that, you'll probably want to make a mesh on the ground outside with death physics, so you don't get people going out there illegally.

Make sure you have "-c" specified in your map options or config file. Then your base will appear as normal. I like the looks of this map. Were you planning on doing something about the huge space outside of the main area? Other than that, it looks very interesting. Keep up the good work. B...

Unless they wanted to build their own map around what is already there, they could group the object, and then edit the group properties (shift, rotate, spin, etc.) to put it where they want.

Whether you like it or not, understanding the .bzw code and the process of hand coding in a text editor is an essential part of map making. Even with 3D modelers, you will usually have to hand code in any physics or textures you want afterwards. Also, hand coding is a good way to keep up to speed on...

All these are quite interesting, and may be fun, but I'm not so sure about riskygeno. Now I don't have to find geno. I will just let my enemy do it, and then kill him. Giving me the benefit of the geno flag without having to go to the trouble of finding it. I would use riskygeno if I wanted to disco...

Name: Guernica Native Style: CTF Time to Create: Approximately 1 Month Known Bugs/Issues: None that I know of. Please inform me here in this thread, through /report, or by PMing me if you find any.

I've heard about this, and I think this plugin is what you're looking for.

You have too many flags, and if I understand correctly, a server run on windows has a maximum number of flags of around 255. You have +f good{15} which will create 15 of every good flag and put you way over the limit. And five of every bad flag will most likely get annoying, even if the total doesn'...

Hello, it's my first ever thread in the Players forum section, so be nice. On the scale from 1-15, what brightness setting do you use? If you don't know how to check, you go to the Main Menu>Options>Display Settings and then go down to brightness. I use the highest setting (15) usually, but I want t...

I'm impressed. It looks like a very interesting and fun map. I noticed and like how accessible everything is. The only qualm I have with it was how easy it is to cross the map. You might want to make it a bit harder, so CTF would be a bit more fair and challenging. Good job to you both, and good luc...

> Sometimes a teammate joins the Observer team (or even the enemies) and then feeds details to us such > as "ST base"... It depends. On places such as the GU League, where you actually have permanent teammates, this is a very good strategy. Such a "coach" can make or break the t...

Thanks Tedius, it works just fine now (but of course, you knew that). I actually do label my vertices. I used to do them all in the map file, but it got tiresome, so I label them in my drawings and don't bother in the map file. Edit: New Question: Let's say I have a mesh that only has one face (FYI:...
