crosshair and coordinates
Back when I first joined bzflag I was told a way to edit the config file so that instead of a mouse in-game i would have a cross hair and so there would be your coordinates in the top right corner of the screen. I grew used to this. Tragically my computer failed due to a virus, and now i had to re download bzflag and these settings are gone. Can anyone tell me how to get them back?

/localset showCoordinates 1
0 turns it off
I didn't know you could have crosshairs.

I forgot there was also a different font that was easier to read too; if anyone can tell me that code it would be nice too.
Re: crosshair and coordinates
Code: Select all
set consoleFont ProFont

Can the font be anything you have on the computer, minus the font file extension?
Re: crosshair and coordinates
No, in the Data pack, there is a bunch of fonts.

Re: crosshair and coordinates
And you can't just throw a new font in there. The 2.0.x version does not use normal font files. You'd have to build the font generation program which does not build with recent versions of Visual C++ if I recall correctly (Might need version 6 to compile it). BZFlag 3.0.0, when released, will be the first version that uses standard TTF fonts.

So I guess no one knows how to get thre cross hairs anymore. I know someone has to know the little piece of code to put in the config file.

Re: crosshair and coordinates
set fakecursor 1 in the config file works for me but I had to hide the mouse cursor too.
