Observer Bolt?
Observer Bolt?
I was importing the electric skins to my bzflag and found a light blue bolt called "observer bolt".
This is what it looks like.
Does anyone know what this thing is or was for?

Some day you will go on BzFlag and see that every server on the list has a least 20 players on it.

Re: Observer Bolt?
This is for world weapons.
Basically, if you want, you make make a weapon shoot a bullet that color. There is no observer team, sorry.

It also appears in the game when the very rare observer-playing-bug occurs (or a cheater makes use of it).
Re: Observer Bolt?
Once I rejoined from rouge to observer once and for a moment I saw my name in light blue for 3 seconds.
Another time I was shot by an administrator observer, while I was dead I saw two other light blue bolts fly by.

me1: "the color the weapon should be. 1 - red 2 - green 3 - blue 4 - purple 0 - rogue" from the wiki.
When I read your comment I was like "wha"

Re: Observer Bolt?
Having rabbit and observer for world weapons wouldn't make any sense as they've got the same color.me1 wrote:it's 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 iirc rogue red green blue purple rabbit hunter observer
Additionaly, the hunter tank shoots rogue bullets/SWs.
I'm pretty sure it's only from 0 to 4 for Ro, Re, G, B and P.
Re: Observer Bolt?
I was on this one server and the SW world weapons were light blue. Also I you have all of your settings on high hunters have orange SWs. Oh, and hunters have orange bolts, lasers, and super bolts in 3.0. (I checked out the data files.) Also, what is a replay server?

Re: Observer Bolt?
Did some testing, here is what I came up with:
0 - Rogue
1 - Red
2 - Green
3 - Blue
4 - Purple
5 - Observer
6 - Rabbit
7 - Rogue (Maybe hunter?)
All the rest were rogue.
Obviously more testing and debugging should probably be done on the coding end of this.

Re: Observer Bolt?
Purple probably appeared twice because you don't have the observer bolt png.mrapple wrote:Did some testing, here is what I came up with:

Re: Observer Bolt?
Just checking my directory, the observer bolt is purple?! Weird, must've messed up some files when playing around with textures... Changing that back to normal.
If I didn't have texture it would be a white box and probably display "couldn't find texture: observer_bolt" in the console.
Updated my post about test results and the wiki.

Re: Observer Bolt?
One more thing, what are those spree 1-4 sounds? I have no clue what they are for.

A quick search of the v2_0 branch reveals:
Nothing. Good question

Re: Observer Bolt?
I wonder why they were put there...

Re: Observer Bolt?
Well, as they havn't got a use yet, you could give them one by replacing other sounds with them and further customise your game with them. Or if you've got free time to spend you could build new features makeing use of them
Re: Observer Bolt?
I have an idea, If you go on a rampage spree 1 plays. If you go on a killing spree spree 2 plays. If you become unstoppable spree three plays. And when ever you get the message of raging on spree 4 will play. Now just how to put that in.

Re: Observer Bolt?
What was the plug-in supposed to do?

Re: Observer Bolt?
IIRC, it was supposed to play those sounds when you had killing sprees.
Re: Observer Bolt?
My best guess is that it was playHistoryTracker plugin with sounds. Guess nothing ever came of it.
Re: Observer Bolt?
that was the plug-in and it had sounds from the start, but the functions to play sounds remotely would crash clients so the feature was removed.
