20:33.45dreamon_Hello there. bzflag is one of our hobbies at home. Want to ask ho is it possible to change server settings during gameplaying. Change map and so on.?
20:43.17temporalDdreamon_:  any map change or configuration change would need a restart
20:45.02dreamon_temporalD, If Im leaving bzflag, the server still runnig. I killed the process with linux console. is it possible to do it in bzflag itself?
20:45.41dreamon_What about the keybindig "O". by pressing nothing happens
20:46.30temporalDdreamon_:  inside the game (if you have the correct permission) there is a /shutdownserver command
20:47.25temporalDand press O in game defaults to a commands key - usually left on the /lagstats command
20:48.45BulletCatcher"bzfs -g" will make it quit after serving one game.
20:51.01*** join/#bzflag-chat Swigg (~Default@bzflag/player/Swigg)
20:55.36dreamon_Thank.. i will give it a try
21:06.32blast007the /shutdownserver command would require that you have admin rights to the server in-game
21:06.46blast007so you'd have to set a server password
21:07.00temporalD"(if you have the correct permission)"
21:07.51blast007yup, just clarifying how
21:15.30*** join/#bzflag-chat Packman (~chatzilla@125-236-135-85.jetstream.xtra.co.nz)
21:25.54dreamon_still could not found where to type /shutdownserver in.. Type O - Lag / Ping is showing..
21:26.14blast007dreamon_: hit one of the chat keys and do it
21:26.36blast007the O menu does have it, but you'd have to scroll through all the options (left/right arrows)
21:28.02dreamon_ok.
21:29.40dreamon_Ok, now getting message -> no permission
21:30.05blast007did you set a server password?
21:31.02blast007in reality, it's probably faster to just switch to the terminal running the server and Ctrl-C it ;)
21:32.15dreamon_where can i set the server password?
21:32.35blast007have to do it when starting the server
21:32.39blast007with the -password option
21:32.46temporalDor in the config file if you have one
21:32.58blast007are you starting the server from the "Start Server" menu in the game?
21:33.08dreamon_blast007, yes i do
21:33.33blast007well then you can't do any of that
21:33.45blast007the start server menu is very limited
21:36.30dreamon_If i would start the server with bzfs command. how can i change the Maps? In gui I can choose
21:37.38blast007with -world
21:37.44blast007you pass it the path to the world file
21:37.56blast007bzfs -help | less   <-- that will show you all available options
21:38.18temporalDhey that's pretty nice :)
21:38.24blast007(well, assuming non-windows there - if you're on Windows, leave off the | less part)
21:39.22dreamon_Im using Ubuntu Linux. no problem
21:40.19dreamon_There are nice options .. ;-) Thanks
21:40.52mrapplewhoa didnt know about -help
21:42.21dreamon_How can I toggle beween ? -> All Chat Server Misc
21:43.12temporalDshift F1 through Shift+F4
21:45.56dreamon_temporalD, Fine!
21:46.06temporalDhehe :)
21:50.08dreamon_how can i set a few flags like -> -noradar NJ V     (NJ = NO Jumps, V = High speed)  -> bzfs -noradar -NJ -V -> didnt worked
21:51.35temporalD-noradar isn't a flag
21:51.53temporalDI think that is to set the server so that the clients that join will not have a radar showing
21:52.05dreamon_Right..
21:52.13dreamon_Thats the working part..
21:52.38temporalD+f {good|<id>}] [-f {bad|<id>}]
21:52.45temporalDthat's the "add flag" stuff
21:53.35temporalD<PROTECTED>
21:53.43temporalDcould be you need commas - not sure
21:53.58dreamon_No, that worked great!
21:54.01temporalDsweet
21:54.48mrappleyou can also specify how many of each flag, like +f WG{100} or +f L{5}
21:57.23dreamon_Very nice.
21:58.31me1if you want one of every good flag: +f good{1}
21:58.47me1+f good{50} does not make 50 random good flags, rather it makes 50 of each good flag
21:58.54me1so uh, don't do it
21:59.42me1-f <flag> also only works if you add random flags (+s,-s)
22:04.27dreamon_Thanks a lot. And good Night.. I think i learned enough to trie it out
22:04.43dreamon_bye .. seeya

23:05.40Packmanwhere do i get the flagOnSpawn dll for windows?
23:07.38blast007if nobody built it, you'll have to find someone who will, or do it yourself (which would require obtaining Visual C++ 2008 Express and various other dependencies)
