Zehra10 kills made, but no message.00:43
BZNotifybzflag: Zehra opened issue #257 "PlayHistoryTracker fails to display messages" (https://git.io/JJ8Ml)00:51
blast007did that plugin *ever* work?  I feel like it did.. but there's no way it worked correctly with the current code01:15
blast007the killer logic uses the victim ID/name..01:15
blast007uh oh, the last one to make major changes to the plugin was me... :)01:16
ZehraIt's one of the odd ones, I think it worked in 2.x though. :thinking:01:20
blast007yeah, I rewrote most of the plugin for 2.4.601:23

KingKravenHeya trying to run bzfs server on my linux server, running the command I get https://hastebin.com/efagatisud.coffeescript, no bzfs is running and ive rebooted the server?14:39
blast007oh god, why are you running it as root?14:42
KingKravenon second thoughts that really isnt a great idea14:43
CaptainRoberts[mroot bad14:43
CaptainRoberts[mthe error means it could not open the sockets on the port14:43
blast007note that if you installed the bzflag-server package from Debian, it might already be running a server with an init script or a systemd unit14:44
blast007(or Debian-based distributions)14:45
blast007and there is, in fact, a server responding on that host/port right now14:45
KingKravenI ps aux | grep bz and it doesnt come up with anything?14:45
blast007are you using systemd?14:47
KingKravenyeah, i wasnt aware the bzflag is added to it though14:48
blast007systemctl status bzflag.service14:48
KingKravenyeah its running14:50
blast007sudo systemctl stop bzflag.service14:50
blast007you could then either disable that service (which I'm not sure how to do), or you could edit it to pass the settings you want, and use that to run it14:51
BulletCatcher"sudo systemctl disable --now bzflag.service" stops the service and prevents it from automatically starting again.14:54
KingKravenSorry, i feel like im asking lots of stupid questions but i read through https://wiki.bzflag.org/Server_Variables and i cant find the settings to set up the follow game: "Free for all game, teams, 13 players, 3 shot limit, 10 lives, 42 minute game timer."16:12
KingKravenIf someone could point me in the right direction16:12
allejothose wouldn't be server variables, those would be bzfs configuration options16:19
allejohttps://wiki.bzflag.org/BZFS_Command_Line_Options16:20
allejoyou'd want to look at -mp (max players), -ms (max shots)16:27
allejoI don't think we have a "lives" setting without a plugin16:29
allejothere's -mps and -mts (max player score and max team score, respectively)16:29
allejoand then -time and -timemanual for your 42 minute game16:30

*** Leppp <Leppp!~mjmciver@cpe-76-93-136-57.san.res.rr.com> has joined #bzflag18:12
blast007or could bump people to observer18:23
CaptainRoberts[myeah but even then, they'd get more lives on a reconnect unless you did some IP identification and team assignment.18:25

blast007forced registration and fixed teams - so, some league mode perhaps18:50
blast007could be an interesting mode for the leage.  I think all the current modes are CTF.18:51
CaptainRoberts[myeah it'd have to be a match based game mode18:51
blast007league*18:51

KingKravenHeya, Ive used -timemanual in my execute command but when i attempt to do /countdown in client (with admin) it says server not setup for this?20:07
allejoprobably needs a -time also, with the time limit20:12
KingKravenall good! worked out both time and timemanual need to be used together for it to work as i intredned20:12
allejoin seconds20:12
KingKravenhaha thanks anyway, much appreciayed20:12
KingKraven*appreciated20:12
Lepppso do you need to use -time for each possibility? or is there a syntax to only use one -time line?21:03
blast007I think you need a plugin to have the option to select different times21:08
blast007the TimeLimit plugin does this21:09
blast007https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/2.4/plugins/TimeLimit/README.TimeLimit.txt21:10
allejoyah, plugin21:39
Lepppyup, got that mixed up with -timemanual, thanks21:40
