I am pleased to convey to you the announcement of the release of BZFlag 2.0.0. This release is a major rework of BZFlag, featuring new graphics, new flags, and many other new features.
This release also takes the community aspects of BZFlag to a new level. Public servers on the Internet now take a global login. Register once, have your callsign everywhere. This login is based on the BZFlag forums at http://my.bzflag.org/bb/ These forums also contain tons of valuable information about new features and servers. All this from an award winning game that has over 1 million downloads. Who would have imagined an open source game with the following like that of those crazy MMORPG's you see? Because the new version contains so many new features, previous versions of the client will not work on the new servers. It would be a good idea to upgrade sooner than later. http://www.bzflag.org/ * TriLUG specific info * The TriLUG server has now been upgraded to 2.0.0. As such, you'll need to upgrade as mentioned above. The bzstats code on the IRC bot has been upgraded to speak the new protocol. It has also been rewritten to be faster and produce more concise output. Thanks to Ben Reed (RangerRick) for helping me learn the obfuscated ways of Perl, David Rasch (berli) for modularizing the code for use in the bot, Ian Meyer (admiralfrijole) for helping with the testing, and the awesome people who run the TriLUG servers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). A fine example of how this goes beyond just blowing stuff up :) I hope you'll stop by for a round of BZ soon on bzflag.trilug.org:5154 -- Kevin Otte, N8VNR [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nivex.net/ -=- "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -- George Santayana "It seems no one reads Santayana anymore." -- Cdr.
