| 06:55:45 | AndreasH | is the 3d engine in bzflag good? |
| 06:56:25 | BZFlag | it's just opengl. |
| 06:56:46 | BZFlag | and it could be better at discarding off screen images etc so it would draw faster. |
| 06:57:34 | AndreasH | ok |
| 06:57:52 | AndreasH | why not use crystalspace or something? |
| 06:58:28 | BZFlag | heh. http://bzflag.org/history.html <- there weren't many options in 1992 |
| 06:59:03 | AndreasH | this in not 92 =) |
| 06:59:59 | BZFlag | yep. but the game lives on. |
| 07:00:22 | BZFlag | see project 2501 for a possible rewrite. they are planning on opengl too iirc. |
| 07:00:51 | BZFlag | I'd like to go the other way actually, I'd like to build a doom like engine that would run anywhere and do the game on that. |
| 07:01:10 | BZFlag | imagine bzflag on your pda over wireless. ;-) |
| 07:01:18 | AndreasH | heh |
| 07:01:50 | BZFlag | BZFlag does not need a lot of the rendering engine. It would be a good choice. even doom is more complex. |
| 07:02:02 | AndreasH | yea |
| 07:02:31 | AndreasH | do you have any id when the next stable version commes? |
| 07:02:34 | BZFlag | I think a pod racer type game would bee cool though, and that would need a clear engine. |
| 07:02:59 | BZFlag | before christmas. so save your pennies. ... oh, yeah. it's free. |
| 07:03:29 | AndreasH | if you like car games .. then you shoul check out race! |
| 07:03:47 | BZFlag | games need a unique name that is net searchable. ;-) |
| 07:03:51 | BZFlag | url for race? |
| 07:05:46 | AndreasH | look at sourceforge, the current version is in 2d. but we are working on a 3d version now. Kind of like ignition if you have played it. it will be out soon gave to make a better main menu first. so stay tuned on linuxgames.com for the release =) |
| 07:06:13 | AndreasH | s/gave/have |
| 07:07:02 | BZFlag | ever play "stunts" ? |
| 07:07:10 | AndreasH | nope |
| 07:07:11 | BZFlag | or arcade "hard drivin" ? |
| 07:07:16 | AndreasH | never |
| 07:07:58 | BZFlag | I'd like to see a multiplayer 3d stunt course. folks would be able to build tracks, compete for time and race each other. |
| 07:10:58 | AndreasH | what would be cool |
| 07:11:19 | AndreasH | linux still lacks a good racer |
| 07:11:24 | BZFlag | I'd also like to see a multiplayer GPL version of the loki released mindrover |
| 07:11:34 | BZFlag | agreed. |
| 07:11:49 | BZFlag | don't suppose you count tuxracer? ;-) jk |
| 07:12:08 | AndreasH | to qute |
| 07:15:15 | BZFlag | http://sourceforge.net/projects/race/ hmm. |
| 07:16:07 | AndreasH | the 2d version is kind of funny, but a bitch to compile! |
| 07:16:57 | AndreasH | battlebots ... aint that one something like mindrover ... but you make spaceships |
| 07:19:09 | BZFlag | GPL? |
| 07:20:45 | AndreasH | yes |
| 07:29:05 | BZFlag | url? |
| 07:32:11 | AndreasH | http://www.bluefire.nu/droidbattles/ |
| 07:34:28 | AndreasH | here is another one .. http://rars.sourceforge.net/ |
| 07:35:48 | AndreasH | and another http://realtimebattle.sourceforge.net/ |
| 07:39:07 | AndreasH | are you a BZflag developer? |
| 07:39:21 | AndreasH | or just some hangaround =) |
| 07:42:28 | | well, bzflag is TimRiker or a 3D internet multiplayer multiplatform (linux, irix, win32, etc) opensource opengl Battlezone capture the flag game at http://BZFlag.org/ debian arm linux contains a version that will run on the ipaq at like 6 fps |
| 07:42:28 | BZFlag | ibot: bzflag? |
| 07:43:16 | BZFlag | is the BZFlag maintainer also TimR@Debian.org and Guru@Lineo.com |
| 07:49:08 | AndreasH | I call that hangaround =) |
| 07:51:16 | BZFlag | heh. I'm not the original author, that's Chris Schoeneman. |
| 07:52:04 | AndreasH | cant you add a option in the serverconfiguration menu that make it possible to add bots? I was thinking on adding it myself but then that will take me like 3 months i think it's a better id you do it! |
| 07:52:31 | AndreasH | is Chris still around in the development? |
| 07:53:24 | BZFlag | I plan to rip the bots out into seperate binaries and let either the client or the server start/kill them. |
| 07:54:02 | BZFlag | Chris keeps up on what we do. He posts to the mailing lists. He posts patches once in a while. |
| 07:54:08 | BZFlag | he's never been here on IRC. |
| 07:54:42 | AndreasH | well whatever you do .. make it possible to controll the number of bot's in the bzflag client |
| 07:54:46 | BZFlag | I'd like to see a minimum player server option and have the server fill with bots. |
| 07:55:09 | AndreasH | yes that would be nice! |
| 07:55:23 | BZFlag | that would be the normal solo config, a minimum player setting on the client started local server. |
| 07:55:52 | BZFlag | then as more real players join, the server would kill off the bots one my one. |
| 07:55:58 | BZFlag | er one by one. |
| 07:56:24 | AndreasH | yes! that would be something |
| 07:56:25 | AndreasH | also .. bots dont jump =) |
| 07:59:46 | AndreasH | would be nice if the bots got "real" names .. (ie. Alan Cox and so on) |
| 08:00:24 | BZFlag | yeah, bots need to jump and flag hunt when you leave them alone. ;-) |
| 08:00:49 | BZFlag | bots get username + 2 digits now. (in CVS release) |
| 08:02:17 | AndreasH | username?? (as the user how added the bots?) |
| 08:04:41 | BZFlag | right. like if I'm Tim that bots will be Tim00 Tim01 etc. |
| 08:04:59 | BZFlag | server started bots will likely have custom names. |
| 08:07:01 | AndreasH | ok |
