ok, your map is hosted as "-Death is Over the Wall- by PETER on MDK_x86_0" on the list server

Cotlebas: you also assumed that the packets would take a direct path to the server.
they may have to travel much further

if you want, ill host it, all im using now is a random-gen map

the way i save worlds is to open the menu (esc), goto options, and click the save world option

ive been there, its a cool idea, but it might make navigation a liitle cunfusing
(also, when i joined, it spawned me inside a wall)

i dont know if you still have it running but its not on the list. also, before you start the server, use task manager (ctrl + alt + del) and switch to "processes" tab. look through and make sure there arent any copies of bzfs or bzfs.exe running already (sometimes it stays running even if ...

i went and added myself, that map is a good idea

tried joining his server, didnt work
(i cant post again till tonight, be back later)

in the picture of the window above, i think its closing before you have a chance to see all the error messages, try opening a command prompt window, then change directory to the folder with bzfs.exe and run it with the prompt window that should make the window stay open after bzfs.exe exits, and you...

here it is in alphabetical order: (see attachment)


try running a server using it as your config

-dd #this enables debugging messages -admsg "Remember: No swearing, cheating or team-killing, and listen to EvanEjk!!!" the switches in the config have to be in alphabetical order, like -a -b -c etc. so you cant have -dd before -admsg it will not start a server thats why it wont start ill...

ALRIGHT, ITS OVER, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

thank you, thats what ive been trying to do

the config is on your desktop?
whats your user name on your computer, it will be part of the path

the server

it would be like C:\Program Files\BZFlag\bzfs.exe -conf C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\BZFlag\config.txt

start it like this:

<your_path_to_bzflag>\bzfs.exe -conf <the_entire_path_to_the_config_file_you_made>

that should start the server using the config file you made

it was only a request, wasnt ordering anyone to do anything, sorry

my fault for trying to help out

then its settled, i guess this means you wont be talking about it anymore,
or talking about how right or wrong yourself or anyone else is.
now you can get back to talking about animated gif's and stuff.

ok, this will never end this way, no one is going to give in, just try to get back to the real subject of the post, please.

thanks

oops, thanks for catching that

so you dont have to keep doing all that on/off switching, you can try to add BZFS to the list of allowed programs in your firewall settings

nothing helpful to add, but ive had it close on me too, like when i try to join a game,
or if i leave a game,
and it always happens when i try to join a game without leaving the other first.

somewhere that will be easy to find, like in "My Documents", or the folder bzflag was installed in, or maybe just the root of your hard drive

remember to check firewall settings too, on your computer and router (if you use one)

about wikipedia... not saying that the above isnt true...but you cant automatically assume is true just because you saw it on wikipedia
