04:02.33BulletCatcherMrs. Catcher wonders when "BZFlag: the movie" will hit the big screen.
04:02.34BulletCatcherShe suggests casting Angelina Jolie to play the part of mIllA jOvOvIch.
04:05.23JeffMMrs. Catcher needs to get out more ;)
04:06.07BulletCatcherThat was her reaction to seeing "Doom: the movie" on the TV guide.
04:06.13JeffMheh
04:06.22JeffMthat movie didn't suck anywhere near as bad as it could have
04:06.32BulletCatcherI agree.
04:06.34JeffMI found it to be a passable "action/horror" movie
04:06.42JeffMthe FPS part was comedy gold

04:12.54Think_Differentlthe game was still better, though.

04:13.15BulletCatcherWow.
04:13.53BulletCatcherHaven't seen that bot behavior before.
04:15.13BulletCatcherBut, yeah.  I got many more hours of enjoyment playing Doom II than watching the movie.
04:16.17Think_Differentlcan't wait for Doom 4

20:22.17BuggalugsHi folks
20:22.42BuggalugsThis is my first time in the chat forum.  I have a question
20:24.12CBGWelcome to the place that is not the forum.
20:24.21CBGAsk your question.
20:24.56*** join/#bzchat Buggalugs (n=568edd02@bz.bzflag.bz)
20:25.07Buggalugsoops, pressed back accidentally!
20:25.18BuggalugsI was playing in missile wars a while ago.
20:25.21blast007k
20:25.36BuggalugsI saw a tank with the team flag, and the flag disappeared.
20:25.47Buggalugsand was immediately with another tank outside the camp.
20:26.00BuggalugsIs this what is called a "pass"?
20:26.49Buggalugs'cos I notice players often use the term "pass" in ctf
20:27.03BuggalugsI'm not sure what it means.
20:27.14blast007afaik, passing is when you jump over a pyramid with the team flag and drop it
20:27.27Buggalugsand what happens?
20:27.32CBGOr any non-flat surface
20:27.36blast007as it usually goes to the center of the map (or to a safety zone, or back to the base)
20:27.43CBGIt resets the flag to the center of the map.
20:27.44blast007depends on the map
20:27.49BuggalugsNow that you mention it, the carrier did jump before the flag disappeared
20:28.18CBG"Passing" usually depends on the flag going to the center, but yes, some maps have the flag reset elsewhere.
20:28.23BuggalugsSo if I get into an enemy camp, get the flag and jump over a pyramid let's say
20:28.55Buggalugsis there a definate point that the flag gets transferred to?
20:29.02CBGNot really.
20:29.06blast007depends on how the map is set up
20:29.26CBGSome maps, it will go to the center, others, to the base it came from... On others it will go anywhere inside a "zone" that is define in the map.
20:29.31BuggalugsWell I was on ducati wannabe's missile wars
20:29.39CBGI believe he has zones...
20:29.41blast007if there is an obstacle in the center of the map that prevents it from sitting there, it goes back to the team's base (assuming no safety zones)
20:30.15BuggalugsWhere can you find out about this strategy for each map?
20:30.27CBGTest.
20:30.40BuggalugsJust experimentation?
20:30.46CBGYep..
20:30.51BuggalugsIC.
20:30.57CBGOr download the map and look through the code..
20:31.10BuggalugsIt's interesting because when I saw the flag disappear, I though something was up.
20:31.33blast007it probably didn't dissapear, but flew to the safe zone
20:31.44Buggalugsprobably
20:31.50donny_bakerOn MissleWar the flag always flies to the center
20:32.07donny_bakerwhan they pass, you can see the flag fly to the center on radar
20:32.12BuggalugsSo, the strategy is to have a teammate in the centre when you grab?
20:32.24donny_bakeryes, and then call pass
20:32.39Buggalugshow do you call pass?  Just message I guess
20:32.42donny_bakerso if no one is there.. it tells everyone "get to the center"
20:32.58donny_bakeryeah on team chat (m)
20:33.07Buggalugsokay
20:33.17donny_bakeri usually give advance notice too
20:33.19CBG(L)
20:33.27Buggalugsthat clears it up.  Glad I didn't jump to the wrong conclusion.
20:33.28donny_bakersomething like "get ready for pass"
20:34.10BuggalugsI think I need a lot more practice before I can get that proficient.
20:34.27Buggalugsthanks folks.
20:37.42BulletCatcherIf you are positioned correctly, you can even see it out the window when a team flag flies to a safety zone.
