Another one: How do I create a server?

[Kodiak.]

Someone told me it was easy, so I need more info..

[Spazzy McGee]

There's loads out there! don't tell me you havn't looked

Search the forums http://my.bzflag.org/bb/search.php
Search google
Read the Wiki Pages
Read the Man pages
Read the Sleepycows guide for Linux And Mac OS X - yes, windows home is crap for bzfs. (you can get away with windows server, as i believe [the player] WinXP does)

Stand on your own two feet and look for this stuff - it's out there. Always read up before you post - afterall any info from a man or WiKi is likeley going to be more detailed and accurate than most info you get here (no offense all ) I hope this helped you Kodiak.
i'm not having a go, it just annoys me how the info is out there but people just don't look for it.

Actually, I don't mean that: I have a server. I meant, to be more precise, what program do I use to make maps and how do I publish them to my server when I am done?

[tw1sted]

you use bzedit to make a map. you can get it here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... up_id=3248 its toward the middle of the page, first download. and when your done and want to add the map to you server, put this in your config file:

Code: Select all

-world "c:\path\to\your\map.bzw"

Ok, simple enough, thanks!
