Everyone is repeating that I should leave the massively popular servers as they are and add to the 370 servers that we have total(!) and equal(!) choice that we see. That still leaves something which may only be accepted because people don't know it can be another way. I have suggested to some admin...

This is in players, I put it in general discussion because it's more about the servers than the people, but both still. It's nothing about what should be done, but people will do what's possible (best proved in a bad way by this game). I'm wondering what people think of it, as I clearly said at the ...

I guess you'll complain about my other idea proven by the rest of life, ie what you lot are too scared to see. It is the idea of not leaving things in a crap state, especially when you could make a new better thing aside it. Didn't you go to the moon because it was hard, not because you could? It's ...

i think rouges are too common, in players or options in servers. I don't think it's fair, and as most other games show, it's a common view. When they are in other games, rouges are Free For All, then team games have the normal teams. To me, rouges in team games is a mix of teams and FFA, which seems...

One recent svn revision had a basic description, I think there's more somewhere on the forums or wiki or will be soon.

Seems they are called screenshot maps.

What did you use?

Run in terminal so you can see the errors.

It shows the bullet itself.

Would suit being a no radar map.

What's the guided missile change?

Hope to see you and your work Louman, people say you died.

I believe he means some sort of stress tester, something that has a go at every function possible.

I'm not aware of one, and the bots aren't smart enough to do everything in the complex/plugin-enhanced maps, so you'd have to make one. All the API calls are on the wiki.

Ok.. Rough instructions for 2.99 on Snow from default SDL?

Also, I noticed Clang and LLVM in the Xcode update this week, is there anything related to this in code yet, planned to be, or not at all needed.

I can't build from bz svn because I haven't got 64bit SDL. I had 1.3 before Snow and that compiled fine (I never use windowed, and I as well as nearly every mac user are 64bit).

Whats the use of this? One of the pro or cons (I don't know which it is) of a no jump map is that you can't pass, why not just keep it that way, whatever it is.

I have some issues with SDL too, did you find a 64bit version?

Ps, Snow is intel only.

Yes, it's their catogories that define shaping. Game > * > P2P generally. It's not p2p, while you do directly tell other people something it's still a server based game. Try to correct them.

Might be your isp whining about non-web traffic. Do torrents work? I'm on BT and torrents/bz/web have been fine today.

Otherwise just wait, theres no real reason it should last more than a few hours (shaping is worst-case, till 1am or so).

Gravity is way too strong. I managed to fall out of one of the drop down box thingies that aren't very fun or useful (maybe needs loads of people). There's not enough stuff on the ground to break up shots, even with vertical velocity (again, forcing people to use WG).

Synchronous WW with time delay, or asynchronous, whats easier/more likely?

edit: I mean should the multiple WW idea be done by letting multiple WW happen at once, and also adding a time delay so people can make them start at different times(sync), or make a job queue of WW(async).

Most of the best maps aren't focused on fighting, like the mazes or Loumans. Art > War. Otherwise, flags seem to be more bother than they are worth. Jumping needs skill. Rico needs skill. Pyrs and corners need skill. You need a lot of deflectors but little shielding. And CTF is worth trying, less fo...

Will there be an option for it to just be messages/seperate chart? While I am fairly alone in endless geno whinging, it seems like a little work for a big option. You've got amazing ideas, I can't think of any, even most of them are new to me. Get from your base to their base via 1/all corners of th...

Brilliant changes, but I think the flying time is too short, the teles above the turrets should be very near the others in the middle. Also, there are too many laser flags on the ground, at least thats the way two tanks is (none on ground).

Happens on green and blue bases. The middle thing is silly, it's very hard to climb without WG. The sides of your base tank aren't at all safe, but under is, both of which are the opposite of the better way round on two tanks. I don't like the texture. The pyramids are good, though the gameplay it i...

That's american football, did you mean that or soccer?

American/rugby is harder to do, unless you merged thief and steamroller and some random principle for tackle success rate.

Football would probably have to wait for moveable physics.

Only if you locked it onto a bot below the ground, and somehow got the curve like a stone's throw.
