The map
I've updated again! heres the map with all the updates, as you can see, i have made it easier for snipers if they would feel like sniping, also I have taken into consideration F687's comment and have added more stuff to the ground, (not too much so its not cluttery and easy to play). I can already see that the map will be popular, R3lax said he liked it. Remember, the server will be 6-shot superflag, jumping, no rico, ctf. it's gonna be tight yall!

You're assuming he has BZEdit and that he knows how to navigate his file system.Easy Target wrote:I'll get screenies up as soon as i fix some bugs, also sirichbeen, when u download it and its u hit browse, go to where it says bzedit32 and click that then click ok and then it will open.
So, in other words, if you are unable to open a map to try it, best to just wait until there are screenshots or the map is hosted somewhere.

MOSHPIT comments
I have to admit, this is a pretty decent map. Good flag selections, nice places to hide and attack from, and has a good overall design. Nice job.
It is currently playing at unstable-bzflag.servegame.org:5001.

I didnt mean to make it like vipers, i didnt even know his existed before 2day... lol but when i went on his it was pretty good as well. I will be making more changes, I'm deleting a few flags, and adding a few others. Adding a few places where flags specifically spawn. I'll get to work on it... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!

Yet another update
Ive made a dramatic change to my map, take a look for yourself. I've also changed flag placement and stuff like that, but in order to see that, visit the server for yourself, maybe day after 2morrow.

Easy Target, I've loaded your map in BZEdit and I really like it. Superb job. Two things I wanted to point out:
A. The thirteenth object (a Link) is not linked To: or From: any teleporter, and there are only two. Consider linking it or deleting it. Perhaps add another link and link the upper teleporters to the lower corner teleporters. Make sure BOTH sides of all teles are linked.
B. Add another route (platforms or blocks or something?) to get to the bases. If a player gets a Shock Wave flag or anything of that sort they can camp at the teleporters and prevent anybody from getting up to the bases or walls.

Ah, I didn't know Easy Target's map had its own forum entry on bzflag.org....
Yes, it really is a nice map, and I'm glad that he asked me to host it. =D Now I'm just concerned about the recent ISP problems I've been having. And I also need to set up a backup system on the server so I don't have to do backups by hand. Does anyone have any suggestions for automated backup systems? My server runs Ubuntu 7.06.
Anyway. The reason it's taking so long to make changes is because of me. I've been busy with finals in college, but after tomorrow I'll get a 10-day break. Maybe I'll be able to get a lot of things done.

=D cool!
Quick question everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows how to do zone flagging, cuz i wanted to do that on my map, but i dont know how, OOO and I are config-ing flag placement and it would really help if you know how. If you do, pls pm me or OOO, thank you!!!

Humor helps us to think out of the box. The average child laughs about 400 times per day, the average adult laughs only 15 times per day. What happened to the other 385 laughs?
The wiki knows all (well... maybe not all): http://my.bzflag.org/w/Zone
Of course, what you want is:
Thats puts 1 GM flag in the center
Of course, what you want is:
Code: Select all
zone
name example_zone
position 0 0 0
size 1 1 1
rotation 0.0
zoneflag GM
end

Open TextEdit or Notepad. Then, go to File->Open and then open your .bzw file. Scroll down to the end, and insertEasy Target wrote:but, i made my map on bzedit, you dont use codes for that... I dont know how to add codes in.

go to where the .bzw file is saved. Right click on it and press "Notepad" or whatever you have along those lines. For me, on Windows XP, its Notepad++ that I use.
Anyways, add that code to the bottom or top, changing whatever you want changed. Thats how you edit a map file outside of BZEdit.
EDIT: Oops, I guess Jefenry explained it.
