Its been almost 7 years... Wow
I started playing this game when it was in its 1.0 stages almost 7 years ago. I was ten years old and this game was a huge part of my childhood. I stopped playing abruptly and I never looked back. I'm almost 17 now and I decided to check it out again on a whim and I was blown away. I was overwhelmed by nostalgia and I honestly almost cried. I would play this game everyday after elementary school. I would play with Thumper, aMeteorite, Legolas, and TD_Linux. I was more of a map maker than a player and I would spend hours designing these crazy maps that I have no idea how to make now. I think I've dumbed down over the years. Here are a few of the things i made almost a decade ago:

Welcome back! I like that pyramid map a lot. Looks very playable.

I remember you. I used to play on your pyramid map. That was a fun one.

This is awesome. How has bzflag changed?
I checked on the website and it's still in the 2.0

Not much... 3.0 is dead, no one is working on development. Kinda sad really.Cedric_ wrote:This is awesome. How has bzflag changed?

Wow! Cedric himself has reappeared! Great to see ya.
I still think I have some of your maps sitting around. What's that one... gosh... can't remember the name. It was really popular. Had lots of different levels, I think, right? If I still got it I could stick it up.

No, that's not it. Though I do remember the Pyramid map pretty well, was fun.Cedric_ wrote:I think you might be talking about the Pyramid map. Im still really proud of that. Its the first link in the first post
I'll have to see if I can find it, or at least the name of it. It could have been that other guy whose name shall never be said (actually I forgot it) who disappeared suddenly who made what I'm thinking about... you may have collaborated on it though.

Spiralzone?
Re: Its been almost 7 years... Wow
Spiralzone is probably my all time favorite. Junker still puts it up from time to time.

Re: Its been almost 7 years... Wow
DUDE! that is so awesome i am a map maker and i can tell that its got to to ages to make them 0_o you have got to post em!
Re: Its been almost 7 years... Wow
AFAIK Spiralzone was made by wiz and Spirals 3.0 by BzDoug.
Re: Its been almost 7 years... Wow
Junker usually hosts spiralzone off my server. If you guys really want, I guess I could put it up for him
Re: Its been almost 7 years... Wow
The maps are in the links. You can download them and do whatever you want with them.
Re: Its been almost 7 years... Wow
Hopping on this thread a little late, but I'd just like to say welcome back to BZ, Cedric. Didn't play back when you did, nor did I ever play on your maps (except for Pyramid, it looks familiar), but it's nice to have an old-timer back. Hope to see you on the battlefield!
