You cant put 2.0 objects in bzedit. Hills, trees, and the other nice stuff are called meshes and bzedit isnt able to do that right now. Maybe some day it will.

He did'nt attach an image file. He attached the .map file from bzedit. If you are trying to open it in bzedit then I done see why bzedit wont open it.

hmm, the stuff in ur map is too big, once u play it on bzflag it gets A LOT bigger trust me, id know, but iu learned the hard way. and the way u get trees and hills and meshes is either by using wings3d editer or u need to code by hand by opening ur map as a txt document :).

Dartman, download bzedit. Then make sure the box next to Quick Launch Icon is checked then it should be in your quick launch bar. If you not using windows then I have no idea.

THAT THING IS HUGE, maybe making it smaller would reduce ALOT of lag!

Actually, since it looks like there's only 3 objects in that map, it'd go pretty fast. IIRC, it's the amount of objects in a map that causes lag, not the object sizes.

I found 12. Look in bzedit. Gollum this is a good start! Perhaps add some things to jump on on the ground. Try not to make things quite so big. It's a good start!

Sweet, way to go so far. Just keep adding that. Oh and one quick thing? You could get stuck in the teleporter in the middle. It's partways through a wall. :) Keep it up man!
