May I suggest posting screenshots in JPEG format? the png's take huge amounts of time to load.

I'm lost as to how you get that out of the essay you posted.

I think its best if we left individual questions to their own thread/not in here.

Safe-spawn areas wouldnt work on a map such as the Passion, where I think most people see the stray-bullet-kills-newly-spawned-tank phenomenon. You'd just get enemies sitting outside the safe area, or a person who doesnt leave the safe area, and nothings been solved.

what about the random spawnkilling?...example: two tanks shooting at each other. you happen to spawn right in the path of enemy fire...so you die the moment you spawn...having no chance to react...its pretty unfair. Sure, it sucks, but it sucks equally for everyone. And, there is something you can ...

also, how do you scroll through the screen in bzedit, its hard to see things that are high or on the edge and i dont mean rotate or zoom the window i mean scroll across it Hold Ctrl and Right/Left click (forgot which) :? That lets you scroll across the x-y. Hold Shift and Right/Left click (forgot w...

Out of curiosity, what do you colorblind people do when you are at a Stop sign or a traffic light? And what do you tell the police if something happens? I'm not colorblind but... All the greens at traffic lights in the US are at the bottom. Yellow in the middle, red on top. Stop signs are Octagonal...

...The hell are you talking about?

I do believe that he is referring to the alphabetical listing, sticking the AAA in front of BZFlag to have the game appear on that list first, instead of ninth.

please edit your post and re-type it slowly

I certainly understood it. Maybe the errors are on your end.

You know that page is sorted alphabetically, right? Its not saying that BZ is the 9th best.

I think we are missing something. You may not like it, but as far as I know, there's no rule or restriction against it.

and another quistion can world wepons aim at you like a BOT on stationary. like a heat seeking turret? As far as I know, smart turrets are not possible.... Ahh, but here we come to an experiment run by Planet MoFo and mmarshall about a year ago. Whenever you killed a tank (or something like that) a...

1. I know you can in BZEdit, maybe later I'll look at it. See Edit. 2. Dunno, I use BZE 3.[Dont use meshes] 4.I would assume that the tank wouldnt go through. 5. Stick the desination teleporter in the air, would be my solution. Edit: Re #1, I put a tele at 0 0 0 and changed the border to 5 in BZEdit...

Advice: Keep improving.

Just looking through the map file, I see one place you have four identical pyramids on top of each other, and no order to the boxes. But please, post the .bzw file BZEdit exports so it can be opened in BZEdit.

I didnt mean 'he needs to see a psychiatrist' help.
I said that due to the nature of his other posts as well as this one.

Then you did it wrong, if it didnt work.

Yeah, you do need help.

If you don't know how to join a server, you should start with learning the game.

an OBJ file is an OBJ file..as interchangeable as TXT or JPEG files. If its different, then they shouldnt be called OBJ.

PETER, you mean those as formats? I believe that .obj files are blender/Wings readable, and can be converted to BZW through the BZ(W?)Tools plugin for blender.

Wait, wait, wait. Slow down, and talk calmly. Please rephrase your situation and question.

Or not showing the scoreboard, default key is 's'.

I have a quick question- what estimated time do u think this version will be finished. Looking at it, it looks great. Umm since I am a noob at making maps-maybe u can do it anywhere. Can u while making the map do a flag arragment! Did you read anything other people have posted? http://www.u.arizona...
