BZFlag for Debian ---------------------- - the data files are stored in /usr/share/bzflag/data If you wish to: - play by yourself - play amongst a small group of people on a private network - provide a server so that anyone on the Internet may play with you you will need to install the package bzflag-server bzflag uses XFree86's VidMode extension to change resoultions `on the fly'. Some people have reported problems with this but we have not been able to identify the reason (yet). Please report a bug if you are having problems. Other people, have color map problems when the change of video resolution occurs. If this happens to you as well please report it. The workaround it to manually switch resoultions before running bzflag bzflag, by default, will takeover your entire screen. By specifying the `-window' option on the command line it will display inside of a window. If you are using a passthrough card with acceleration (e.g. VooDoo, etc.) use the `-3dfx' option to make use of it. You can also use the MESA_GLX_FX enviornment variable to do something similar. Set MESA_GLX_FX to `fullscreen'. Remember if you use a Bourne shell (or compatible) like /bin/sh, /bin/ksh or /bin/bash you need to do the following: $ MESA_GLX_FX=fullscreen $ export MESA_GLX_FX If you use a Csh style sheel like /bin/csh or /bin/tcsh use this: % set MESA_GLX_FX fullscreen original by Anand Kumria modified by Tim Riker
