| 06:40.21 | the_map | how hard would it be to have tanks of other shapes/models/etc, with no functional difference? |
| 06:40.28 | the_map | to add variety |
| 06:40.44 | the_map | either assigned randomly or selected at the menu |
| 06:41.08 | the_map | not before the 2.4.4 release, of course :) |
| 06:41.51 | BulletCatcher | The current tank model is hard-coded. |
| 06:41.52 | BulletCatcher | It would be non-trivial to provide options. |
| 06:46.55 | the_map | oh, as seen in bzflag/src/geometry/models/tank? |
| 06:50.32 | BulletCatcher | yes |
| 06:51.51 | the_map | you know what? the tanks look just fine the way they are :) |
| 06:54.28 | BulletCatcher | Even if the "hitbox" remained the same, different tank shapes would affect gameplay so we would have to introduce them in an incompatible release such as 2.6 (but we have no plans to do that). |
| 06:57.03 | the_map | oh, I was just thinking the appearance of the tank; nothing more |
| 07:01.08 | BulletCatcher | The current game protocol has no way to associate tank appearance with a given player other than its team, so it would definitely require a new (incompatible) protocol version to make it happen. |
| 07:01.55 | the_map | *oh* |

| 21:55.24 | alpha1-2 | please, cods or any admin of tuxee.net, hard tkr on server. Multiple bans by poll and he returns again and again |
| 21:57.44 | alpha1-2 | is there any way to set hunting fixed to a specific player (the tkr) to avoid him? Every rabbit's kill, the hunted player changes automatically |
| 22:08.26 | kierra | There are no admin/cops on tuxee :( |
| 22:09.03 | alpha1-2 | ok :( we are fighting with him still. cods, I am a god canddate ;) |
| 22:09.14 | alpha1-2 | good* candidate* |
| 22:09.15 | kierra | Players could frequent other servers |
| 22:10.27 | alpha1-2 | yes but he will join that server too |
| 22:10.57 | alpha1-2 | except an admin appears on that new server |
| 22:11.10 | kierra | Others servers are managed better |
| 22:11.30 | alpha1-2 | yes, they have more admins |
| 22:11.52 | kierra | At least you have recourse on other servers |
| 22:15.49 | alpha1-2 | blast007 (maybe allejo?): unclelightning, a known admin/past admin, says you could add the guy in a global ban list, is this possible? |
| 22:17.50 | allejo | The global ban list hasn't been maintained in years |
| 22:18.36 | kierra | If he comes right back after poll ban...using proxies most likely. |
| 22:18.49 | allejo | Instead, you should message the server owner to add admins or don't play on an unmaintained server |
| 22:19.20 | kierra | exactly ^^ |
| 22:19.23 | alpha1-2 | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:20.28 | alpha1-2 | and why unmaintained? |
| 22:20.55 | allejo | Because like you may have noticed, there are no admins |
| 22:22.06 | alpha1-2 | ah, is it hard to maintain? |
| 22:22.55 | allejo | Not really. As long as you have active admins and keep your server up to date, you're fine |
| 22:23.35 | allejo | If you don't want to use your own admins, use respected admin groups such as league admins, norang, bzexcess to name a few |
| 22:24.09 | alpha1-2 | I mean global ban list, not local server administration, Is it hard to maintain? |
| 22:25.27 | allejo | It's not, but it's no longer used |
| 22:25.42 | alpha1-2 | ah okay |
| 22:25.57 | alpha1-2 | then, as you say, that is the solution |
| 22:26.08 | allejo | I can't recall the exact reason but the IPs on the global ban list are years old and those IPs probably have been reassigned to new clients by now |
| 22:26.53 | allejo | Go play on a server where a simple troll won't have free reign :) |
| 22:27.07 | allejo | There are 100+ to pick from |
| 22:27.08 | kierra | :) |
| 22:28.23 | alpha1-2 | well, thanks, I understand, but peple usually play on fun servers. The only problem I see here is that cods needs better administration. I will PM him. He has not much time surely |
| 22:29.49 | allejo | I'm sure there are plenty of other fun servers that people haven't discovered |
| 22:30.03 | kierra | There used to be other rabbit servers |

| 23:41.58 | cods | alpha1-2: what? |
| 23:42.14 | cods | oh |
| 23:43.57 | alpha1-2 | read :) |
| 23:44.02 | alpha1-2 | and you have a PM too |
| 23:45.58 | cods | I'm running these servers since 10 years maybe, and honestly, I think I'm lost about how to correctly manage them. I just run bzfs with few option with my maps.. and let the rest run by itself :) |
| 23:46.05 | cods | looks like I should care more about that |
| 23:47.56 | cods | I would be ok to add admins on the server |
| 23:48.16 | alpha1-2 | <-- good candidate :) |
| 23:49.08 | cods | now, blocking someone that is able to join from different IP and possibly nicknames, is near to impossible, isn't it? |
| 23:49.17 | the_map | maybe kierra, she's admin everywhere else :) |
| 23:49.43 | alpha1-2 | you can ban by IP families |
| 23:50.23 | cods | you mean a subnet? But if he is using proxies, then are ban it for good. |
| 23:50.24 | alpha1-2 | as an admin* |
| 23:50.57 | alpha1-2 | I think this one was not using proxies |
| 23:51.05 | cods | anyway, I need to look at the doc for adding admin (really, last time I've done that was 10 years ago) and I forgot everything about that. |
| 23:51.16 | alpha1-2 | he took 2 minutes to join again every time |
| 23:52.15 | alpha1-2 | yes, see man pages mostly (or also wiki) |
| 23:52.19 | BulletCatcher | On my server I give cop privileges to the EXCESSIVEBZ.ADMIN, which is managed by blast007. |
| 23:52.20 | BulletCatcher | That saves me from having to manage my own set of cops. |
| 23:53.20 | BulletCatcher | In your groups file, something like this will make that happen: |
| 23:53.47 | BulletCatcher | EXCESSIVEBZ.ADMIN: ADMINMESSAGERECEIVE ANTIBAN CLIENTQUERY PLAYERLIST SAY BAN BANLIST FLAGMOD KICK KILL MASTERBAN MUTE UNBAN UNMUTE VETO |
| 23:54.18 | alpha1-2 | yes, I meant subnet |
| 23:55.22 | alpha1-2 | and to add a single admin? :) |
| 23:55.32 | cods | oops, I meant "then they are no way to ban him for good" (little tired.. 1am here) |
| 23:55.49 | cods | first I need to figure my password :) |
| 23:56.23 | BulletCatcher | I also use "EXCESSIVEBZ.WHITELIST: ANTIBAN" to avoid banning nice players who may be on networks nearby to abusers. |
| 23:56.23 | the_map | cods, if it's the server password, you might be able to just look in the config file for the server |
| 23:57.47 | cods | hmm, IIRC someone on #bzflag told me that it was bad to put a password directly for the server (something like that) |
| 23:58.12 | the_map | idk, I don't know much about bzflag server configuration |
| 23:59.27 | cods | No server password. However I've a key.. but maybe it's just to register in the public list. |
| 23:59.35 | the_map | whenever I give advice about bzflag, keep in mind I don't actually know what I'm talking about; I'm just making semi-educated guesses |
