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.

800th post!

Can the font be anything you have on the computer, minus the font file extension?

No, in the Data pack, there is a bunch of fonts.

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.

maybe this? set fakecursor 1

set fakecursor 1 in the config file works for me but I had to hide the mouse cursor too.
