i like not being able to pick up your own flag, but i would like to see it so that if the flag is not picked up at all for 1 minute, it is returned to the teams base. yes it may be hard work in order to get the flag out of the opponents base, but its also hard to kill the person who has the flag, an...

Spazzy Mcgee for a quick solution, you can at the moment specify -tk into bzfs and then you don't die on TK - you only lose points. does this mean the person you tked dies, but you dont? in my opinion this is bad, because it means that you can be a crazy tker, and be put at no inconvenience when yo...

what about a simple teleport flag, that shoots like thief, and when you hit someone you swap positions with them. could be very useful for quick entry into an opponents base, or to get you out of trouble.

cool, ill look forward to using it. when is the release date for 2.1 anyway?

haha. nice idea, but i think that would be a little to complicated, or it would be so hard to judge where it will ricochet to that it wouldnt have any point to put on. like if your teammate is facing away from you diagonally, you have no idea where your bullet will go. also your teammate would be mo...

i hadnt thought about that. i suppose it would make a bit more sense if the bullets dissapeared if it went through a teammates tank, it would make it more fair. perhaps that could be specified in the config file as a variable too. like -f 1 or -f 0. 1 for it going through the teammate, and 0 for it ...

i think it is a good flag. think about it, normally, you would be the same size from the front you are with the flag, only a smaller size from the side. so basically, you get 1 advantage, and no other disadvantages. in my opinion if the good outweighs the bad it is immediately a good flag, and since...

I dont know if there is some way to do this, or if it has been mentioned before, just a small thing. What if there was an option you could specify in the config file to toggle friendly fire on or off. This, although making everything dramatically easier, would eliminate tking. I know some servers de...

dont worry! hooray i fixed it ! ty donny baker, it was trend, i switched profile, then made exceptions for the port 5154 (i hope no one uses that information to hack me ) and now it works. now i just have to make a cool map for it.

i am using 2006, and i have direct connection on (because its default), could this be the problem?

hmm, i am using trend micro internet security, not wireless security, but it says some things in the description, about blocking network virus attacks and other known threats, could this be what is stopping it? I have made a rule that allows port 5154 to do everything, is this neccesary? i currently...

hi all, i just want to set up a private server over the lan, i am behind a router, the ports are open (im pretty sure, running trend micro internet security, with the windows firewall or wateva), on the computer i am trying to run it on, i can connect to the server using the ip adress, localhost or ...
