			==Appearance==
			Box objects by default have a red brick texture on the vertical sides, and a white plaster texture on the top and bottom. A box of height 0 on ground level ''is'' visible.

			The texsizes of boxes and boxes made of meshes (e.g. meshbox and box with one of the new properties) can be different. The size depends on the chosen display quality setting in the options menu.

			\|-
			\|box with one meshbox property
			\| -2.0f -2.0f -8.0f -8.0f
			\|}

			This will cause the textures to scale differently for some players in X and Z axis. This can not be solved by adjusting the texsizes in map. The advice is not to mix old style boxes, meshboxes and boxes with one meshbox property, all in the same map.


			In [[BZFlag 3.0]] quality level experimental will become the new level high.

			==History==
			The box is one of the original objects supported by BZFlag and has been a mainstay of maps since the very beginning. Boxes are heavily used by the software when generating random maps. In [[BZFlag 2.0.0\|v2.0.0]] the box was replaced with the [[meshbox]] object to support [[Material\|Materials]] and [[Physics Drivers]]. The original box definition was left unchanged, in order to maintain functional compatibility for older maps.

			==Editor Support==
			The box object is supported by all known editors.
