Take a look at my Defender game mode concept.
Thinking is not an automatic process. A man can choose to think or to let his mind stagnate, or he can choose actively to turn against his intelligence, to evade his knowledge, to subvert his reason. If he refuses to think, he courts disaster: he cannot with impunity reject his means of perceiving reality.

1BadPlayer
just so you know CBG, I helped him alot yesterday on the chatchannel.
He's running locally, just needs to get the darn ports open, and I think he will be OK. I gave him my example conf, which he seemed to like, He was a prime candidate for my checklist too.
Legolas, I don't know what to tell you, about airport.
1BadPlayer serves using an airport, maybe he can help.

Download the runtime library and dev library of SDL here: http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.phpIce Wewe wrote:I installed Developer Tools (yep, all 3 GB or what ever) on my OS X (10.4) and BZFlag still wont make! I get through the compile, and about half way through the make, and I get an undefined SDL lib error (or something like that)... it sucks.

Ok, I'm trying to set up a server and I downloaded the files and stuck the 3 of them in my home folder. Then I opened up Terminal and typed ./bzfs.txt It replied ./bzfs.txt: line 1: /Applications/BZFlag/BZFlag-2.0.2.app/Contents/MacOS/bzfs: No such file or directory. What is up with that? I have opened the bzfs file in that location. I have no idea what to do next.

It is quote possible that you have 2.0.4, not 2.0.2 and that it may not be in a "BZFlag" folder.
Change /Applications/BZFlag/BZFlag-2.0.2.app/Contents/MacOS/bzfs to suit you.
A quick way of finding the path to your bzfs is to do this:
Find your latest version of BZFlag. CTRL-Click it and choose "Show Package Contents". Go into MacOS. Here you will see bzfs. Drag that into a new terminal window.
Now you can copy the Path it gives you into the bzfs.txt file.

Bad Link
When I click the link to download the disk image to my computer, it takes me to one of those cheap search engines, NOT to a downloading page. Can you fix this?

Hmm, yeah, that domain expired a long time ago.
I'll see what I can do...

How to solve
This is my guess..... i just think it doesnt like it.......
Im just kidding my true guess is that those three filer are not allowed in there. To solve this problem is simple. Step 1. Grab phone. Step 2. Call dad. Step 3 (OPTIONAL) If he says he will not come, and he has his blackberry make it full with junk mail. If this does not work, go to his office and kick him. Step 4. Bring him to your house and shove his face at the computer screen. Step 5. Go downstairs and let him work. Step 6. Go back to the computer and he should have it all done.
P.s. This will work with anything on the computer!
P.s.s. It worked for me

Re: Limited Success
Files from other server than:DTRemenak wrote:The textures need to be accessible from the CLIENTS. Therefore they need to be published somewhere that the clients can find them...http and ftp are supported.n1mie wrote:I'm having another problem. I saved a couple of the worlds out there that I liked to make use of them at home, but I haven't been able to determine how to get textures working (otherwise they are fine). The map files reference a texture in a web format ("http://..."). I changed this to a file reference ("file:///") and it didn't work, even with a complete and explicit path. I suppose I could put the textures on a web space I own, but there must be a way to reference them locally. The ones I have are in PNG format, I tried JPG and BMP with no success.
Code: Select all
allow *.bzflag.bz
allow *.bzflag.org
deny *
"~" means your local Library Folder located into Home directory
every clients must add your server to your files work.

I suceeded to run a BZFlag Server on Mac OS X.10 without using the terminal app but only with the graphic interface. The only thing I didn't manage to do was to change the map. How do you load another map to your server? Where do you put the maps you downloaded on Mac OS X to load them with the graphic interface server configuration?
Please, don't tell me there are no other ways than using man config on the terminal

By "graphic interface", do you mean, from within the client? You can't run a full fledge server from the "Start Server" menu in the client. That menu is only for starting a quick game, for LAN play only.Fozzy wrote:I suceeded to run a BZFlag Server on Mac OS X.10 without using the terminal app but only with the graphic interface.

However, it should be possible to place world files (with .bzw extensions) into the "~/Library/Application Support/BZFlag/worlds/" directory. However, I recall something about an issue with map selection, so no guarantee it will show all/any of your maps in that directory.
I'm sorry, I forgot, I made it for a LAN play. So, if I put my dowloaded maps into ~/Library/Application Support/BZFlag/worlds/ I should be able to choose them from the client?blast wrote: By "graphic interface", do you mean, from within the client?
