Janitor v0.6 - a preview ======================== The "inetd" for bzfs. Janitor is build with the purpose to aim for solving small tasks without needing to write a plugin. It reacts on slashcommands (such as /whine) and performs an action defined by the server owner. Currently only shell c...

Author: Meacan Description: The plugin allowes players to create "chat channels" and joining them. This is very basic and hackish, but it works without any clientmodifications. The idea is that eg. people from a CTF team, such as BAR can speak "privately" dispirte of which team ...

BZFlag is just a game. People failing to tell the difference between facts and fictions is not the victim of computergames. They should get help, which isnt to blame the games but determining why they cant tell what is acceptable in real life and was is fiction.

(removed alot of mumbling)

I doubt it would be very funny to play. If I were to play i would ignore the flag complety until i/we blasted all of them. Then I would move the flag. Then hunt, then move.. The time moving the flag would be pretty boring - you just have to do it as I think most wouldnt like to be the one beeing hun...

Found the bug that messing up my server yesterday

- Added /public, /channel version
- JeffM2501 fixed: ChatChannel.vcproj, ChatChannel.sln (Thanks)
- Added /channel invite
- Admins can always join locked channels

Few problems RPG: 2. The plugin doesn't work. Trying to run /match gives the "this is not a command" message bzflag gives you. I don't think /loadplugin racetoseven is actually loading it for some reason I replaced all the libraries and bzfs exactly like you said. Dunno what's wrong. Try ...

I got a server up; dahlia.d75.net:5154 - it got both plugins runnig. Feel free to join

Sounds good Jeff. Im gonna look at it later tonight after I finish working on it (adding an invite feature)

Tonight I will have a testbed server running with both plugins (for testing and showing

"-loadplugin /usr/local/bin/ChatChannel.so" should work

Ill setup a small testserver when I finish adding a new feature to ChatChannel

I've never compiled anything on a mac, but I think its pretty similar with linux. If you got the bzflag cvs extracted (plugins only works with cvs, afaik - so you need to compile bzfs too) unpack the plugin into bzflag/plugins/, then enter bzflag/plugins/ChatChannel/ and type make. This will generat...

This is a FFA plugin. Each team is assigned a number of tickets. Every time a player if the team dies, the team lose a ticket. When a team reaches zero the game ends and the team with most ticket left is announced as the winner. This is much like 3d first-person shooter "Battle Field" This...

Updated the tar-gz file so it contains: ChatChannel.def, ChatChannel.sln, ChatChannel.vcproj (required for windows build)

Hi, I've created a plugin if any of you can use it let me know. Im not sure if this is planned some "plugin" repository somewhere, so Ive just uploaded to my own homepage. The plugin allowes players to create "chat channels" and joining them. This is very basic and hackish, but i...

Didnt you forget details like; rules, server setup and alike? What makes this league different from the others?

That explains why BZContest was late

It is. And the perl script too (named something like bzfquery.pl )

In cvs, in the misc folder, there is a few scripts (both perl and php) that will give you some info to get you going.

CTF is a teamsport, so a team needs to work together. Its rare that one single player can do the capture on is own. And if he gets help, why is the helpers work not worthy of rewards. The tank carrying the flag the last few inches might not be the one that made the capture possible. And I'll bet tha...

You can use shift-f1 to f4 to switch between the "tabs", which allows you to get rid of the chatting. (shift-f1 is all - which is default)

Well, hard part is to give people points. How should this be calculated? Should everyone get the same amount of points.. etc + Alot of questions :) You could go for the easy approach. Give people a "share" of the points the team earned. So eg. TeamA wins over TeamB and gets 30 points. Ever...

If you have 10shots server, then you are not as dependant on lag delay. I mean. If you miss two shot, you still got 8 left you can use.. However, of you only got two shots then you are more dependant that your two shots hits. To do that, you need lower lag - as you can't just spread the shots around...

For what its worth... Alot of people forget this; You can use a service, because of those who run them. You cannot really blame them for doing it the way they like it. If you feel its unfair, you could just make your own server and configure it as you think is good. Or ask an admin polity to conside...

Inside bzflag, there is a help menu. It might give you the info you need to get startet.

When playing, 'f' will toggle flag-names+small description. That is usefull too, if you are new to the game.

I dont think you can do that from within the bzflag-server. But I would configure my firewall to do as described (if i had any server, that is )

Same here. Often if see the situation where a tank is hiding on one side of a building (eg north) .. on the east and west side, two enemies are approaching. If they can see his direction - he will be helpless. But they cant, so he got a chance - as long as they dont know who he is ready to shoot
