Colored tanks pretend to be rogue.

I was recently playing a relaxing game of BZFlag, when I suddenly noticed (being the player that I am, I use my radar more than my HUD.) that shooting rogue tanks got me a team kill. It turns out that some of the colored tanks in the HUD appear rogue on radar. Another thing I noticed is that all the flags on the radar appear yellow in color.

Earlier today I was fiddling with some of the display settings. Those are the only things that have changed. I changed all the settings back to normal but the problem continues. Can anyone help me?

I will include a screenshot. I hope it helps diagnose the problem. Restarting BZFlag does nothing. Please excuse me if I made this a bigger deal than it should be. Hopefully there is a quick fix for it.

Operating System? BZFlag Client Version? What graphics settings did you change? Etc...

What do u mean? In your radar there is a red and a purple dot in the same places as the red and purple tanks are and then theres one for some invisible guy. I don't see a prob.

No, the red tank is showing as a rogue on his radar.
Or the rogue tank is using the red tank texture.
Hard to say which...

I'm running Windows XP SP2, BZFlag Version 2.0.8, and I was fiddling with the Blending, Smoothing, Lighting and Quality settings. I'm pretty sure it was red because there isn't a rogue team at Constitution's Tunnels, and if you look closely, the tank looks like it is a creamy yellow-like color on the radar.

Edit: I also changed the Radar&Panel Opacity from time to time.

Try deleting or renaming your configuration and see if that makes it work properly.
