Official forums for BZFlag.org

You mean on the forums, or on the bzflag server list? or anything else, please be more specific.

If I come up with an idea I ussualy make it, but I'll give you an idea anyway. Make a map where the floor is constantly moving preferably 1 direction. put afew map objects in there for people to sit on, and maybe afew "mines" that blow you up if you aren't paying attention. That was just t...

He said he doesn't know the password or the IP...so yeh. I've talked to him already about this.

Nice, what did you make that in?

If you want I'd be happy texturizing it for you using blender (now that I know how). I'd need it in .obj format, or even better ".blend"

Here's what you do, take a pen and write "text" on your monitor. And if you can't see it, let us know and we can set up an appointment for you. Otherwise, if you do see it great. Just don't tell us that you can't. BTW, this worked for me as I'm sure it will for you.




Inferno

I would suggest purchasing my map and paying for the "Inferno's server setup program". Top quality service at your doorstep. I only charge for my flight and $5 0 an hour. So yeh, think about it! If you find a map you like on the internet, while your playing on the map: "Esc" -> &...

Bz Gladiators Version2 is now up. Here's some screenies.

it's currently hosted on "bzflag.norang.ca:5167". If anybody has a "faster" server and would like to host it..please tell me





EDIT:

It's on port 5176, sorry about that.
"bzflag.norang.ca:5176"

lag is basically the amount of time it takes the shots and tank positions and other info to go from your computer to the server. If you have a crappy isp (like dial-up or slow dsl) your lag will usually be higher. Also, lag gets higher the more people on the server. Actually lag is the time it take...

Some of the faces randomly roatate the texture by 90 degrees?

I'm using normals, and 4 verteces per a face...and I tried it with all faces using texcoords:

texcoord -1 -1
texcoord 1 -1
texcoord 1 1
texcoord -1 1

TIA,
Inferno

vertex -100 -100 1 ] vertex 100 -100 1 ] vertex 100 100 1 ] <--- this I think is the height??? vertex -100 100 1 ] yes vertex X Y Z where Z is the height normal 0 0 1 <- this I dont know what it is Normals aren't needed but they help (I think they make it load faster). They define witch way the fac...

It's not going to work in BZEdit, I hand coded it.

Thumper is hosting it on "bzflag.norang.ca:5177 2 CASTLES by Inferno".

here's a really cool 2 castles map! please email me at "Inferno285@gmail.com" before hosting.

Wow, I figured out all this threw experimenting. I also found out how bz figures out normals without you actually specifying them, maybe you should know how it works. Always facing positive Z, X, or Y the vertices of a face have to be in counter-clockwise order. Like for the top of a cube, it has to...

The point of the game is to kill the enemy. I think this would totly mess up the game.

Very good, I love it.

yeh, every server has their own strategy. Give it some time and you'll learn.

Win xp, things don't just happen. There must be something that has changed since last time you ran bzflag.

whatever. i got kicked at sevomas server (dead now) once, purely for the fact that i went onto the GB right just after my teammate capped greens flag. i was surprised by the sudden amount of green tanks, and fired 3 shots into the crowd, killing 2 of 4 tanks, one of whom was the server owner. I don...

JeffM2501 wrote:there never was a version 1.8

most play on the old version because they do not like the new spawn code and wings.

The spawn code prevents cheating, right?

And about wings, not every server uses them! Maybe someone could conivnce them that there are servers without wings.

Sounds like a problem beyond bzflag. Obviously your internet is working..cause you made a post. Are you sure you haven't done anything concerning the internet between last time you ran bzflag and now?

I could do this......but my plugin would be like a relay server (say it's on port 5154, and bzfs is on port 5153. The plugin forwards all messages from the client to the server and so forth, with afew eceptions), and written in the perl scripting language.

harrasment is nothing to take personal. But if someone is ruining someone elses game experience, they should be warned...kicked...banned.

wow, I got the JFR alomost instantly. And the white and yellow "asterisk" right after. Thanks for explaining the rest Spazzy.

I went on and asked, but unlike you I got replies.

2 of them:

"I dominate v 1.8"

"It came default with my linux OS, what are you talking about"

Spazzy,

What are we going to use tree stumps for?
