When I try to run bzfs in my terminal, I get:
Re: bzfs error message
But I am sure I have no server already running. After that it just does nothing??
Re: bzfs error message
Ohh. Uh oh.. does that mean my server went public, or not lol?
Re: bzfs error message
Nope. You actually need to configure it to go public. It just went private; server: localhost port: 5154

Re: bzfs error message
I'm confused .. I'm kinda new to this stuff, I don't know anything about it at all.. where do I find the configuration ?? All I was really wanting to do was test my map, and I get so much annoying stuff to deal with lol..
Re: bzfs error message
Creating a server is not trivial. It requires a bit of reading and testing on your part...

Re: bzfs error message
You don't need to worry about that. It is just a warning, not an error. Ignore it if you want, and the server will work just fine.
Re: bzfs error message
blast: thanks

Re: bzfs error message
Since the server is what opens the map file and makes a bzflag world that you connect to, you need to use a server to test your map. For this type of server usage, usually only minimal settings are needed.

HELP! lol
Re: bzfs error message
Do you have another server running? Did you make a *working* config file and tell bzfs to use it? Did you specify what map bzfs should use?

Don't bother using the in-game "start server" crap.

Re: bzfs error message
i dont. terminal dosent work and start server dosent either. and yes, it is crap. and also i dont have another running.
Re: bzfs error message
If you think you don't have another server running, perhaps you should log out and back in or reboot the computer to make sure there are no bzflag server processes running. Then try starting the server again.

Re: bzfs error message
Or instead of logging out and back in or a reboot, open task manager and find a process called bzfs.exe and click end process.

Re: bzfs error message
Why are you reviving a 4 month old post? And just FYI the word "Terminal" was used so this is not Windows, so Task Manager can't be used as it is Windows junk.Propane Tank wrote:Or instead of logging out and back in or a reboot, open task manager and find a process called bzfs.exe and click end process.
Re: bzfs error message
If you have bzfs running on a Unix/Unix-like OS (basically not Windows) select the window in which bzfs is running and press CTRL + C.
HOWEVER, the next time you run the server make sure you include the -password option so you can use /shutdownserver when connected to properly shut down the server.
If the post has been revived might as well at least answer it.
