Testing a server

Hi,
I'm really new in map making, and I don't know how I can test my maps (made with bzedit32). I think they're not bad done (mostly the one named ''Debut CTF R-B'') and I'd like to test them to see if theyre are any problems and to set the map settings.
Thank you in advance to tell me how do I test them
))
P.S: How do I ''host'' my maps ?

To "host" your maps, they either have to be taken in by a server owner or you have to make a server.
Everything else--

If you have any problem, don't hesitate to ask!

I'm assuming by the fact that you're using BZEdit that you're on Windows... but it's be nice to hear it first hand, instead of assuming. So, are you running Windows, and if so, what version?

And, what difference will that make, Ice Wewe?
I think the command line will not be completely different in WinXP Home compared to Pro...

It wont, but the number of connections does.

And that's vitally important to running bzfs privately to test a map?

OMG!! I launch 6 clients to test out my map too!!!
Anyway I test my maps using this commandline on Win:
Code: Select all
bzfs -j -set_tankSpeed 50 -world [path to world]
Then you can move around your map really fast and jump to test stuff out.
In order to mess with vars I recommend using a real configfile you made (there are directions on that) and just commenting out the public server lines.

^nightmare^'s site shows how to start a private server on windows to test your maps.

Hosting is much harder than just testing maps.
To host a server you need to punch a hole thru your firewall for both TCP and UDP. (among other things)
Go to the servers forum for help on that.
