I recently moved my bzflag server to debian 3.0. I've tried to add the switch "-world mapname", with no success. The error I receive:
test.bzw(1) : invalid object type "<?xml"
(test.bzw is the custom map)
At first I thought maybe the custom map I was adding was buggy, so I tried a different one and had the same result. I then tried an empty map, same error. I have no problem running a server without a custom map.
Any ideas?

PatLabor: may be something wrong with the world?
hehe.
look in your distro for a file called hix.bzw
Model your world after that.
Current server version I'm running is 1.7g0, I've also had the same problem with 1.7e6.it sounds like a 1.8 map being loaded into a 1.7x server, or there is extra crap in the map file.
What version of the server are you running?
Where did you get the map?
I don't think the map is the problem. I've tried maps that are running on other servers and I also tried a blank file (0kb) and received the same error.
I had no issues running the same version of bzfs on Win2K with any maps.
RESOLVED!!
Feel kinda silly now
I found out the problem, the maps I tried to use, I first had opened up in Abiword. After opening the maps with vi editor, I noticed Abiword added tons of language/font garbage to the file. You don't see this in Abiword, as it hides it like anyother word processor. Anyway, thanks for you help!
