BZFS Error Message

Post by Triumph of the Soul »

When I double-click on BZFS in Windows Explorer, it opens a window with this message displayed:

Note: no acceleration limit has been set. Players using "mouse
enhancements" may cause problems on this server due to very high
acceleration rates which are not handled well by dead reckoning
algorithms. To eliminate this warning, set the -a switch in your
configuration. '-a 50 38' is recommended for standard-speed servers.
Higher speed servers will need higher values for -a in order to not
affect gameplay. '-a 0 0' may be used to shut this message up without
affecting any players, including those using "mouse enhancements".

Could someone please tell me what it means? There is also no way to type in any instructions. I am also confused about whether BZFS needs to be run out of Windows Explorer, and if it is just a program that runs simultaneously with BZflag. Any help is appreciated.

it means you didn't use -a as a command line option.

if you just double clicked then you had no options.

it is just a warning.

bzfs is a command line application, you don't double click it, you use the command line terminal to send it startup options.

there are many threads in the forums on how to set up a server.
