hi all,
Just wondering if anyone could help me. I have been using bzfs to test some maps and play with bots, however when i recently went to the "start server" option then click "start" a messege appeared saying "failed... Server program no execuatble"
this happens when i'm not using bzfs.
when i try to start a server on bzfs it says "bzfs.exe is not a valid Win 32 application"
can anyone explain?
please forgive me if i have done somthing stupid. im a bit of a noob.
Thanks

First, the "start server" button is really useless, in my opinion, for starting a server. It will only start a server on the localhost, when it works. In other words, no one other than you will be able to access this server.when i recently went to the "start server" option then click "start" a messege appeared saying "failed...

As for BZFS, are you starting it in the command prompt? Or are you trying to double-click the icon from the Windows screen?
well...for starters im not trying to set up a public server here. im simply testing maps. also im at school and therefore behind a proxy so i cannot join public server and so i play with bots.that exploding tank wrote:First, the "start server" button is really useless, in my opinion, for starting a server.

If you're doing what has worked in the past, I'd suggest re-downloading the software, it can't do much harm unless you're on dial-up or something.

well...its a boarding school and being away from public bzflag servers means i have to do somthing else. so i make maps and stuff like that. unfortunatley the school proxy restrictions are very strict! so i can't just ask them. but thanks for suggestionsGrace F wrote:Why are you doing this at school?
If you can't re-download it ask permission from 1 of the school computer administrators or something and ask if they can temporarily take down the proxy server restrictions.
