This sounds like a server problem, not loading the map. But I'm curious;
The conf file and the BZFS terminal are entirely different,
I cant see how it would interfere when you start BZFS,
not when it loads your .bzw file. Typo?

Haha, you foolish dialup mortals... Me, I have DSL and usually my lag doesent go up over 20 ms. If the lag spikes over 300 (it does), its probably a computer hiccup or a server problem... I highly suggest getting off dialup, but you can play on most servers with no super-high lag. On dialup, I can g...

If sombody could it'd be very helpfull

It wont SPAWN a G flag? you looked everywhere for one on the server?
Or are you trying to use the flagspawn thing? (or plugin, whatever)

Yes, it will have flags. Im putting a little bit more in the triangle
areas to help people get by the snipers in the center. I've
updated it a little. I put a few boxes on the end to make a little barrier
for the people on the corners.

Uhh, I don't think that command will work.

OK, first, if you want to know all the variables (the changeable odds n' ends in a server), go to any server, (includes local servers) and type in the chatbox /set . this will give you ALL the server variables, or vars for short. But you either have to be an admin to use them, or the server host has...

You can make it rain server side anywhere, as long as its in the middle.
I dont know how you do this, someone else probably knows
and would be willing to show you.

Huh, an interesting little map.Can you attach your tank model up here?
we can take a look at it and help you.

Ah, been working on this for a while... I would like some expert opinion about my map. I think its a great start, but it needs more. Any tips, suggestions, criticism, opinions, yada yada, ect. ect. Here is map and screenie. I must let you know, I had to resize it because of its huge size. Anyways, h...

Tank Thingey? You mean a model of a tank? Thats easy to fix.
But anyway, Think you can post some screenshots?

Cool. Where's the server? I cant find it!

Yeah, Its been going on for a while now... it started with the server moving, that was when it was most noticeable. Usually the problem is a bad connection or a poor server. when you start BZFlag,look at the chat window at the bottom of the screen and it says "Error, could not talk with list se...

Though you might consider removing the OO flag...

Yes, I dont think you want people falling thru invisible potholes...

It looks great. so it might be released today?

Huh, It feels so familiar. It looks like a map on a server Called Mike's Crazy server, or something like that. Anyway, good job.

Ok, heres the screenie. and the ranking system is based on posts.

Ok maxwells, I have a screenie of your killercroc map. Nice
work on all the details!

Ok, I have some better screenies for those of you who are lazy. :D I had an idea about the map. Maybe you could put an upside-down cone with the lower edges stretched and curved so it looks like a fancy v, then put a texture matrix on it so it looks like its spraying water. Anyway, here are the scre...

Ooh, It looks really nice, man. Is it gonna be done soon?

Yeah, I wasn't thinking about it much. Yup, there is a lot of ways to make
maps. Huh, lemme count, there is BZEdit, iBZEdit, notepad,
wings, blender, and who knows how many more.

When's it gonna be done? will it be hosted?

(Snark, giggle) Uhh... Well, you have 2 choices to make a map or world.
You can either use a text editor,or, my favorite, BZEdit.
BZEdit can be found Here. And to make a map in notepad,
the instructions to do so are in a wiki at the BZFlag website. Have fun!

Yeah, Ok thanks Clay. I'll look at them when I get home today

Heh, I was just about to post on texture matrixes too. I have a question;
How do I make a texture move left or right on a mesh? AND
How do I make a texture spin and move at the same time?
ie.
a texture spins clockwise and moves the spinning texture left.
Can you help?
