bzfs window closes instantly
When i tried to host my map the bzfs window closed right after i opened it. It didn't close instantly before i added the map file. Any reasons?

Open it in the command line. Most likely there is an error and since you start it from an icon the window closes on exit of the app, making it so you cannot see the error.

There's probably something wrong with your map.
Assuming you're using Windows... if you use a shortcut to launch bzfs, the window will go away once the program is done, so if it errors out, it will close immediately.
If you want to see the actual error, open the command prompt, go to the appropriate directory, and launch bzfs that way. It will tell you the line number so you can fix your map, I believe.

umm...what exactly do you mean?
when i type in the cd c:/program files/bzflag2.0.8 it says cannot find the path specified and then with bzfs.exe -world c:/filename.bzw c:/filename.txt it says bzfs isnt recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Why are you opening the bzfs window in the first place? Just drag your map and your config file into your c:\drive , then open your command prompt which can be found in start menu ---> accecories ---->command prompt
Type in this:
cd c:\program files\bzflag2.0.8
a bunch of text should come up, now type this in:
bzfs.exe -world c:\filename.bzw -conf c:\filename.txt
Hit enter, a bunch of frequencys shuold come up , dont close the screen just minimize it, open bzflag and localhost is the server, port 5154.
If you need further instructions take a look at my website which can be found on my signature good luck
