Very nice. I'm interested in trying it.

Yes, I'm having a bit more trouble with groups. This is what I'm currently trying to do: group explode scale 0.75 0.75 0.75 phydrv explode shift 0 0 8.5 end I do have a group defined, and it has been shifted and scaled. I also have a physics up above, but when I run into the defined object... absolu...

guys i have added stuff to the map.... im having problems testing things... so once i fix it i will put it up.... and stop telling me its a bit empty.... i kno!!! and idc abot my spelling.... wuts the acceleration warning... and i got 17 posts in 1 day cause ima pimp like that...duh! :roll: 8) Oh w...

The Pumpkin was made using Wings3D.

And then exported to a .bzw file.

I haven't seen Boxy wars in forever, you'll have to ask Met about that I guess... Now everyone seems to go for Missile Wars, Badgerking, Planet MoFo and the very-popular-at-one-point-and-still-quite-popular Bloodbath. Since the end of the summer, all I can think of is 2.0.10 coming out. I don't real...

You don't! Read the wiki: http://www.my.bzflag.org/w/Main_Page

After defining something, how exactly do I spin it? There are four spots, and all I want to do is rotate it 90 degrees. But there is no rotate for groups. I've tried putting 90 in each spot, and nothing happens. Then when I put 90 in all four spots, it ends up way up in the air sideways and backways...

That would certainly be interesting... But probably not that easy to do. I don't think that I fully understand though...

it seems that everyones figuring out how to make multi level non-jumping maps now . Well, three people that I know of.

1. At the top there are four different modes. In order, they are vertices, edges, faces and objects. Many things are best to be done with faces, but the others usually come in handy. Try some experiments such as making things like a cube for example, then deselecting everything (usually space bar) a...

Things can't always be perfectly smooth. Its usually best to not have too many faces, because it takes up a lot of space. My first map using wings was over 1000kb, luckily less than 1024kb (1mb). This was mainly because I didn't realize how many faces I was putting in.

If you set the repeat to the same time, wouldn't it work? Because say that the repeat is 5, and they go off with 0.2 seconds difference (how you have it). Bullet at 0.2s Bullet at 0.4s Bullet at 0.6s Bullet at 0.8s Bullet at 5.2s Bullet at 5.4s Bullet at 5.6s Bullet at 5.8s Bullet at 10.2s Bullet at...

Oh wow that is nice... Maybe set up large invisible walls around it (if you haven't already...) and put large 3D people outside waiting for their turn, and one person getting ready to hit the cue ball? Of course, thats making it a bit complicated

Also, aim for brighter screenshots. If everythings dark, hold down + until it gets brighter

One of the best maps I've seen and tried in a long time. I'm still interested in seeing what its like with more people.
Might I suggest trying a wwzone when you touch the missiles (if thats what they are). Again, very nice map. This is your... 4th? Something like that?

Well... lets just say "we reign in different kingdoms"

Wow, a lot of people with ST.
I'm going to have to say that also. I've been called the ST king once before on Castle Warfare (where I'm best at). Thats how I usually get my high scores on there.

Take a good look through the wiki. There are plenty of 3D shapes on there to try, and it says how to make textures too!

Some things to look up: Material, Sphere, Cone, Arc, Meshbox, Meshpyr, Define, Group... theres so much to learn.

That last one is very nice. I cant never get that close when roaming, they always move too soon...

Well, it still does make the sound, other than maps without jumping.

Something that came to mind when you mentioned the dodging section was perhaps, rather than a low ceiling, just make a box with physics prohibiting jumping. Meaning: physics name nojump linear 0 0 -20 end Those are quite fun to use. However, keep in mind that with _jumpVelocity of 19, that won't al...

Interesting map. My only problem is that spawn camping is really easy on here. You can sit on your base or one of the platforms and shoot onto the other bases.

go to where the .bzw file is saved. Right click on it and press "Notepad" or whatever you have along those lines. For me, on Windows XP, its Notepad++ that I use. Anyways, add that code to the bottom or top, changing whatever you want changed. Thats how you edit a map file outside of BZEdi...

A book? I have a few... But keep in mind that this is my own design, I didn't need a book to fold this . I mostly learned from designs off the internet, though.
