| 07:07.41 | deetdeet3246 | I'm trying to understand how levels are made for BZFlag, maps, what editor is used? |
| 07:08.13 | Delusional | macsforme I can provide probably a dozen examples of LOD in action. |
| 07:10.28 | Delusional | deetdeet3246 every mapper uses his own techniques... the one I use is wings3d. ...blender is often used.... there are others. but in the end you will also need to add certain BZ features in a text editor |
| 07:10.43 | deetdeet3246 | I'm seeing here some tools on the forums |
| 07:11.40 | Delusional | visual basic is another. |
| 07:13.40 | Delusional | https://wiki.bzflag.org/Comparison_of_map_editors |
| 07:14.22 | deetdeet3246 | I'm trying to figure out how complex the maps can be, they're mostly flat without many buildings, is there a complexity limit reason for that or is that just for balance/gameplay? |
| 07:14.52 | Delusional | make it too complex and the rendering is slow/jumpy |
| 07:15.18 | deetdeet3246 | It couldn't handle like, Quake levels for example |
| 07:15.42 | Delusional | that last statement is a little misleading.... the rendering is fine, it's collision detection that slows things down the most |
| 07:17.46 | Delusional | I've found that FPS gets too slow at a little less than 30,000 object faces |
| 07:19.45 | deetdeet3246 | so it wouldn't work then essentially |
| 07:22.24 | Delusional | BZ is ancient |
| 07:40.45 | deetdeet3246 | when do people usually play? every time I sign on I see 0 players |
| 07:42.12 | Delusional | http://bzstats.strayer.de. early evenings in the US, i think is best time |
| 07:42.38 | Delusional | if you find your favorite server, and just hang around awhile, someone usually shows up |
| 07:45.23 | deetdeet3246 | well I'm not going to hang around for 12 hours rn lol |
| 07:46.31 | Delusional | macsforme I have the superpower of forgetting people's names, even after meeting them several times. WHat is your forum callsign? i want to send you some files. |

| 08:10.10 | allejo | Delusional: macsforme == Constitution |
| 09:24.47 | macsforme | Delusional: that would be great if you can send those... I am macsforme on the forums as well, used to be Constitution |
| 09:26.44 | macsforme | I am by no means a good artist, but I want to look at the feasibility of geometric mountains (even within the current game version, if possible) versus our current ring with a texture on it |

| 15:21.19 | tupone | :( per fragment Lighting is killing my machine. FPS goes down to 25 |
| 15:22.29 | tupone | Wonder if real GPU does not suffer so much |
| 15:28.47 | tupone | my GL2.0 branch. maybe my code is not good or cannot obtain more from my Intel Haswell i5 |
