Lemme get this straight...am I seeing price tags for...$169!? Or $1.69 with no period? 'Cause $169 is absolutely ridiculous...
By the way, good idea.

Could you put a few screenshots? I make maps myself, always looking for ideas!

Sounds cool, good idea!

How do I force a texture to stretch over a face of a mesh?

1) Add to your .conf: +r
2) Depends on the host. But I would say it would be good enough AT LEAST for a host willing to get a starting mapmaker on a roll.

Sorry, I can't host.

Depends on the map.

Ha You Got Shot By Me's Mini CTF: 5-6, on a good day, maybe a 7-8
Jefenry's 4-Team Aztec Ballcourt: 4-5
HiX: 3-4
Any predominantly WG server: Depends on other players' skill:
they're bad: 4-5, good day 6-7
they're good: SKVV: 3-4 NS:1-2

It looks OK. You do realize one of your boxes is 1/4 of the way underground, right? I would recommend using this map with ricochet, it might not be as fun without.

Sounds good, I'll work on that.

You are looking at what would be the 0.50 release of Bucko's War Zone Plaza. Lots of WG, CTF, and might also play well as FFA. BWZP will be finished before long, take a look; I attached a few screenshots.

Thanks, guys. How do I use BZFSCron?

I need a plugin that simply waits 20 mins, does /endgame, and restarts its timer. Is that possible?

Okay winny sorry.

Optic, COULD you get a screenie or two on here?

LPP means Length Per Pixel.

Oh boy...now we get to hear from the universe-wide authority on...

Ask mapmakers for recommendations, I would suggest TJ13820, ahs3, or Blizzard. Send some screenshots of your map as well, they may not have time to make a test server for your map.

Yep, and either have shots (make it a little harder and more willpower requiring NOT to shoot), or have Rogue, or both.

Instead of teams for different levels, what about a teleporter at the end of each level that teleports to the next level?

I get an error, I'm on linux, and I typed in command:
python /home/whyshoulditellyoumyusername/Desktop/ratbzedit/ratbzedit.py
which gave me this error:
Error importing module: No module named wordwrap
HELP!

No, Nectar I believe

I like mine. I made it by running a server of a tank.bzw with a rogue texture, taking a screenie, cropping it, scaling it, then adding text...and VOILA!

Okay, thank you all for the help! Now...um... I seem to have lost my copy of the export plugin. Where do I get that again?

Where do I get it?

I have Wings3D running on Debian Linux, and I downloaded and installed on wings the plugin for exporting as BZW. How do I do the export? Is it supposed to be under File->Export? If so, why isn't it?

What sort of texture do you suggest?
