you have to go through the teles at the right angle, they can be hard to get through. Bur they all can work, hard to get through is a challenge in the map

New version

Tell me what you think

Added world weapons
Flags are more evenly distributed
More tank spawn zones, so you should always spawn on your side of the map
Should be no more spawning outside playing area
Changed side compartments to have higher walls and a roof

You may not want to put a server password in your conf because anyone can see it, thus making it useless if/when the server is hosted. I may host this, but school awaits, so I'll see if I can work something out when I get back. That isn't my real pass; it's just my lastname "dye", and the...

I'll check that, I try and check all the teles; The ones on the wall only move you to the other side of the same wall.

Based on the screenshots (I am not in a position to test the map on this computer at the moment), it looks like a fairly playable map with a lot of good thought behind it. I saw places to hide in between the castles, an upper route, some towers, and a fairly good balance overall. Thenks, I tried to...

Can I only let the server use bots?

So, for a 2-team CTF, I want to have a bot for each team; other that that I don't want players to be able to use bots or auto pilot. Can I do that?

This is strange, I deleted the pyramid and the flags were there.

Saturos welcome to development code. bzworkbench is no no way done nor really usable. We need people to finish it. I'm not entirely sure why people seem to think that building it for [INSERT PLATFORM HERE] will somehow magically make it done or work. The majority of the work on the project is done ...

How do I take a bird-view screenshot? Never used iBzedit, but would be a bit wondering if this tool hasn't the option to change camera-view-perspective.
