I tried walking him through on planet mofo, but for some reason the "start server" page in the client won't let you choose certain maps. Can anyone explain why?
you cant go to start server at the bottom of bzflag if you want to put your map on there. usually you use the "run" command. whish is the path to your map and bzfs (they need to be in same folder or destenation) then you type: bzfs -world "[ur map].bzw" [then your setting for your servers]
just an example, mine is:
cd\program files\bzflag2.0.1b2
bzfs -world "trees.bzw" -j -ms 3 -fb -sb -c -mp 0,5,5,5,5,5
go to servers help on this forum there are many guides to how to run a server so look there and dont clog up the map making forum with server questions
