Starting with BZFlag version 2.4.0 "Wake the Dead", released on 07/03/2011.

This new major version is incompatible with previous versions of the game. It should be noted that this is the first version of BZFlag that had a development plan and release schedule.

This also introduced a game mode and settings, a more consistent and stable server API, and an enhanced server list and authentication.

  • The ability to turn off teamkilling on the server
  • The OpenFFA game mode which is a teamless FFA, meaning you can shoot anyone regardless of color
  • Per-object ricochet, which lets map authors selectively enable ricochet for individual objects
  • Removal of local authentication
  • Ability for the server to force flags to be hidden on the radar
  • Fog can not be turned off
  • The screenshot code does not lag the client badly anymore
  • The ID flag identification was moved to the server
  • Public servers must have a -publickey
  • Polls only count users that are able to vote

For server owners, a detailed guide for migrating server configurations is provided here: BZFS 2.4 Upgrade

For plugin writers, a detailed guide for updating plugins is provided here: BZFS API 2.4 Upgrade
