This is my first map so if your gonna criticize me do it nicely. Anyway heres the map and BZFS If you'd like to host just say so on this Topic. and i made it with bzedit.

UPDATE: Cobra_Fast is gonna host it for me.

I hope you know that a lot of the blocks aren't lined up evenly. Instead of just using the "drag and drop" feature of BZEdit, you should also use the numbers to get the blocks to line up nicely and thus to look good.

Not bad for your first map, though.

sorry but it wont let me test it.

Sure it will, you're probably just doing it wrong. Try using this.

i tried that it says error something is wrong it says its not commpatible with win32

Did you download and install the two things at the bottom of the first post?

wouldnt let me

What version of windows are you running? XP? Vista?

i have windows XP

Try putting the map file in your documents\My BZFlag Files\worlds folder (C:\Documents and Settings\[your_name]\My BZFLag Files\worlds, or something like that), then start BZFlag, choose "Start Server", use the settings you want then, next to World Map, use the arrow keys to find your map.

If you would like, I can private host it for you, and if it's all together and well I could put it public.

i tried it said Error connecting to server.

Yes Blizzard please make it a private one for know and if its good someone can host.

Looks like it got hosted.

HOST: wtwrp.doenemeier.de
PORT: 50400

Cobra i dont see it on public list.

COBRA_FAST you said there was probs with my Config i fixed it a little to mabey get it working heres the NEW Config listed below.

UPDATE:i have updated my CONFIG AND TOOK OUT THE ADMIN PASS. HERE you go cobra

A couple of things:

-publicaddr I notice there's no port. Cobra Fast, in another post, said it's on port 50400. Put a colon after the address, followed by this number. Also, add:

-p 50400

-lagdrop needs a number

you posted a password in plain text - hope that's not the real one

-world Are they really hosting a public server on a Windows computer? Check that path, just in case.

-jitterwarn 0 This will warn EVERYONE - set it to something higher (haven't used this personally, so I'm not sure what's an appropriate setting)

-packetlosswarn is awfully high. If you're losing 1 in 5 packets, something is seriously wrong.

One more thing: have a look at the bzfs man page:

http://linux.die.net/man/6/bzfs

A man page is a Linux (maybe OSX?) thing that gives you a bit of help using a command. In this case, bzfs (the server) It usually lists the basic syntax of using the command, and has a listing of what each switch does.

You may want to do the same for your first post.
