Hey folks,

I've come across an issue while map making: I'm trying to remove the Oscillation Overthruster flag.

My current code looks like this:

+f good
+s 150
-f OO

But for some reason I still get the OO flag. Any ideas?

Grue

The -f option only affects randomized flag generation (which is controlled with the -s or +s option). The +f option adds a flag even if -f matches a flag. If your goal is to always have 150 flags at random, except for the OO flag, then just leave the "+f good" out of your configuration. If you only want good flags, then additionally add a "-f bad".

Looking into this a bit more made me realize I've been mistaken about how the +s and -s options worked. I was thinking they had set the minimum and maximum number of extra random flags, but instead they don't actually work together. The +s option always makes available the specified amount of extra random flags, while the -s option makes up to the specified amount of extra random flags available. Some of our documentation is also a bit wrong regarding that.

That did it! Thanks again, blast.

Grue
