My first map: Quadrant Wars.
Hi, everyone.
I finally got my localhost to work, so I can work on my new map more. The idea is you have four zones or "quadrants". Each team owns one. Its pretty basic atm. Here's some screenshots and the map code:

Okay, you get a Bic, the orc gets a long sword.
He cuts the Bic in half.
Then he cuts you in half.
Oops, I meant quarters.

Thanks.
I'm making a new version, I turned the walls into teleporters. I'm having a problem with my zone for GM flags. There is a platform at 100 meters, but even when I set the zone to 500, they appear at the ground. The bases turn into walls....
EDIT: My monitor temporarily died... "Frequency Over Range".

You monitor didn't die. Your video card is displaying a resolution or refresh rate that your monitor can't handle. Reboot the system, and just after the BIOS screen, start hitting F8. You should get a menu system. Choose "Enable VGA Mode", and then adjust your display settings once you get into Windows. (This is assuming Windows XP, might be different for Vista or 2k, or whatever OS you run)

I just rebooted and it worked. Maybe it was caused by me switching from BZFlag to BZEdit. (The spellcheck thought "BZFlag" was "flagellum". LOL.)
Anyways, the code is still screwy, it seems it suddenly can't place the GM flags I coded in.
EDIT: Is there a way to turn jump on for testing? Do I enter something in the Command Prompt? Also, I just deleted all the flag things until I'm finished.

Thanks. Ill try it. I thought it might be different from local to public, so I didn't try that.
EDIT: It doesn't work. The config builder seems to have forgotten all the flag settings I had, and bzfs doesn't see the file when I do -conf. Where is the map options?

I mean that it doesn't put that in the final config or anything.blast wrote:The correct setting for adding jumping is -j
In regards to the config builder, it's just a web page. It doesn't save anything you put into it. If you want a list of all the options you can pass to bzfs, open the BZFS Manual from the start menu.

To add options to a map file, use this:
With your options in there, of course.
Code: Select all
options
-j
+r
-set _wingsSlideTime 50

Iv'e tried entering this to load the config file and the map, so it configs the map to the settings:
(After the cd C:\ thing)
Of course, that doesn't work. What I want is to have the things like -password, -a, and stuff like that on the localhost
(After the cd C:\ thing)
Code: Select all
bzfs.exe -conf bzfs.conf bzfs.exe -world 3.bzw.

Firstly, if you are using a conf, put the -world line in there.
Secondly, learn how to use your command line.
You should be doing something like:

It works.
It's almost done. I guess I should try and put textures on.
BUT THE GM'S STILL WONT SPAWN IN THE AIR!
Here's the code
I don't get it. The flags should be on a platform 100 meters off the ground, but they skip it and go to the bottom

position not pos
secondly flags won't stay in the air if there isn't any thing there for it to land on. or if you don't have fb in your conf. if you want the flag to look like it is floating in the air, make it spawn on a meshbox with transparency.
thirdly based on that code it should be 200 units off the ground not 100.

He also said he had an object up there, not that he wanted them "floating in the air".

Add -fb to your conf or map options.

Add -fb to your conf or map options.
EDIT: The setting works. I'm almost done completely.
Anyways, I'm working on adding textures to things (yay for wiki).
EDIT again:I just injured my brain.... so much code for texturing a mesh! (ow).

it's not that i "wasn't sure they are wrong." i was sure pos was wrong. but i guess I was wrong. no big deal. when he said BUT THE GM'S STILL WONT SPAWN IN THE AIR! i figured he wanted the flags to ... spawn in the air. and after that we still figured out that -fb needs to be in the conf.
my mistake about pos

Add
to the world block of your map file, then add your own walls wherever you like.
I've even gone to the trouble of creating two meshes to do this for you.
It's not tested though, so may not work perfectly.

I'll try both of those.
EDIT: the simple world size/scale thing doesnt work, trying the other one..
EDIT: The mesh works, but how do I change the playing area? You get autokicked for leaving the normal 400x400 area ;p
