Yes, you do need a licence.

Also, people like it if you post screenshots of your map along with the map file, so they don't have to download and test it.

Still, looks pretty good, especially for a first map. Keep it up!

Very creative! It must have taken a long time to get those world weapons right... excellent map.

That looks a lot like Missile wars... but not enough to say you copied it. Nice map, looks fun.

3) Why not just set a flag shot limit? What is the purpose of killing them? It is not needed I think he means to kill the player after x hits with geno, not just shots. 2) yes, it has already been suggested. 1) this seems like a very narrow-use (and map-specific) flag, it would probably better to m...

My opinion: I think that, in general, it is bad sportsmanship (like rejoining when you get a low score or switching teams all the time), but nothing bannable. I think you should just accept one death, its not like your game is permanently over. Besides, you lose a point anyways, you're just not givi...

One of the funnest maps I've ever played on! Outstanding job. Making it so the corners and teleporters don't get you stuck would be nice though.

I have blender 2.44. It is the one I downloaded with BZWtools already installed.

I will try that, thanks.

I am kind of frustrated with this (I'm probably doing something obvious wrong, but oh well...): I am trying to import a map into blender to edit, so I go to File: Import: BZWtools 2.0.4 importer then in the next screen go to a .bzw file and click the import button. However, all it gives me is a scri...

Bit too much "freetime" *cough*

Nice job though.

The counterflags sound a bit over-complicated, but the rest seems like a good idea. I think this has been suggested before on the wiki though, I don't know what the response there was...

I don't know... I think it would be possible, but what is the point? It just seems like an unnecessary complication.

Looks very nice. You really should finish that! With textures that will look very real.

SCREENSHOTS!!!

Also, you can't force somebody to tell you that they are hosting your map, if you put a map up here with a license, anybody can host it whenever they want.

Pretty nice, and good for beginning map makers, but I noticed quite a few mistakes: 1) Frankly, your spelling is pretty bad. Could you look it all over and spell-check it before posting? 2) Step 4 paragraph isn't very well organized. You go from adding extra features to choosing good admins when cho...

You don't have to give us a whole observer view, just some normal in-game ones. I'd like to know something about it, besides the fact that it has to do with tunnels... Besides, anyone could download the map and open it if they wanted to, so its not like showing us your tunnel layout will be such a b...

Looks very nice, also reminds me of LouMan's desktop map. A Heart Attack is right, this is the map releases forum, so you might want to have the actual map to release.

Anybody can join the GU league, but some teams are closed. If you mean you want to join The Armoury, I think it's full. But there are plenty of other teams you can join.

That looks way too much like missile wars 2.... could you maybe make it more original? Otherwise looks great.

I think this falls under the "unnecessarily complicated" category. It really doesn't do anything different than cl, and does it worse, so why get this when you can get cloak? It just seems to be a more complicated, less effective CL flag.

That said, I still think its a cool idea.

That is not a 101, that is a 160... the *point* is to have a 101, not a 160. That is probably why the title of this thread is "101".

Screenies please, "4 team ctf" is not very descriptive.

BZFlag is definitely NOT role-playing.... there is no story or plot whatsoever. You might want to take it off the list.

When I joined as a team and tried to spawn (I always spawn on the base when I first join like most ctf maps), it autokicked me for being "outside the payer area". Obviously a bug, but when I had joined earlier it didn't give me any problems.

Do you really need to zip it? Regular screenshots just open up in the browser, its kind of annoying to have to download and open it up. If its too big just make it into JPEG.

Winny, if he's using iBZedit then he's on a Mac, which means he can take screenshots to the desktop by pressing command-shift-3.
