1. what's the difference with .map files and .bzw? I tried .map files, but it didn't list it in the Start Server menu.

2. where do you put the scripts and other files other than the .bzw files? I'm using mac osx.

Thanks!

put them in your .bzf folder in your home folder... its hidden so take the steps that are in red in your other topic

That's the default extension for maps made in BZEdit.

the map extenstion dosn't mater when you pass in the map name via the -world paramater on bzfs. it's just a name. some maps don't use extensions.

.map was just what I picked for the editor.

i've tried bzfs...never worked out for me

i have an airport LAN network, so i can't do pubserver...(unless I connect right to the dsl modem)

i was just doing the in-game to look at maps...i find it faster...
