This looks really interesting, flying_popcorn. Is it hosted anywhere? Edit: I noticed that the only way to successfully move on the escalators is to remain perfectly still. Driving forwards causes you to stop, and backwards makes you fall back down backwards. This is not a huge problem, but will con...

Well I disagree with A Distraction, I don't really like Mofo, there's too much, uh, immaturity, to put it bluntly. Not that its not great. Personally I like Bloodbath, because of its major strategical and teamwork element (unlike most other ctf servers). No, I don't think it is a noob sponge (at le...

Remember to differentiate between servers and maps. Many people like the map "Bloodbath", but many times they forget that it is being hosted on BZFX. "Industrial Battle" is also a map, not a server (I believe it is being hosted on Fairserve nowadays). My favorite server/group of ...

No, remember there is _noClimb 0 on it. When me and ahs3 were playing it it was actually quite fun, and because there are no flat faces, the battles between players as they fight are more intense. It is surprisingly easy to maneuver on the hills. Well, good. I hope it turns out well for you. For th...

Great, no horizontal surfaces. This means no flags, and the gameplay is severely limited (or different to an extent beyond my comprehension?). As of yet, it is more a work of art than a playable map. It may be more suited for a version of BZFlag that allows flags to be placed on slopes, and tanks ar...

Well, there are plenty of maps out there that have mountains in them. I think you'd be hard pressed to find one that doesn't have a few wings flags in it, though. For example, Louman's "Camelot", "Alpine Assault", "Bridges" and probably other maps by him which are up on...

Could you tell us your OS, BZFLag version, type of internet connection? You know, the usual rundown of specs. Any errors in BZFS? It might just be lag. Maybe you could attach the map and/or config files in your post. It might be that you have 1000 flags in your map or something. And make sure your g...

Your map cannot be run because your map file has things in it unknown to BZFS. I simply deleted most of the options section so I could run it, and here is a screenshot [included at the bottom]. I suggest you take another look at the man pages or the wiki to familiarize yourself with the different se...

You can use other peoples' textures on your map, but you need to get permission to use those textures as needed. And why would you need to submit images in the first place if you could just use somebody else's? Unless yours aren't very original or specific to your map. And could you tell us what is ...

It looks nice. Was that slight angle intentionally put there, or is it some sort of bug that has been plaguing you ever since you created it?

*I get an error message in the bzfs window that says "SpawnPolicy ran out of time, just dropping the sucker in" This just means that BZFS has stopped trying to find you a safe place to spawn. Try putting '-sb' in your map file or server config if you don't already have it. This will allow...

I listened to it, and overall, I thought it was good. Your content was focused and concise, however, I think it was almost a little too concise. You even skipped the tactics section (not that I would need it, though). I understand that this kind of an undertaking costs money and time, but if you get...

I was just on "XLR8N's Castles" and "XLR8N'sFortress Fury". I like Castles, and I like Fortress Fury even more. You've got some really good ideas and some interesting maps that one could spend a long time figuring out all the best techniques, positions and playing styles of. Howe...

I'm not sure how much I like being able to move around using the keyboard and navigate the menus at the same time. I think alot of people might get annoyed if they are trying to stay in one place and change some settings only to find themselves in the middle of a firefight, in the water, or in some ...

I was looking foward to the Week of the Rabbit hunt for a good part of the summer. To tell you the truth, I was a little dissapointed with how things turned out. Sure it was fun at the beginning stages, and even in the testing stages. These were times when the vibe and the publicity hadn't really ca...

I wonder if you could post the upload and download speeds of your connection before you start the server, just so anyone who comes here can have a better idea of what your server can handle. Excuse me if this information is already stored somewhere else also.

You could just make the red team spawn around blue base and the blue team spawn around red base. They still have to cap a flag and it's like HTF. I've seen it on a map recently but I can't remember which one. It was like that for a while (I don't know if it still is) on Louman's Alpine Assault. It ...

I think it's an amazingly cool map. I had a little time to play on it privately. I can't wait until (if) it's hosted publically.
A soft wind picks up and whispers "It's cooler than the real Missile War."

I'm not sure exactly why this topic was resurfaced, as it has been dead for over a year. As far as I know, The Wilderness has also been down for quite a while. If I remember correctly, it was because it wasn't very popular. It was a shame too, because I thought it was a cool map. Also interesting th...

Dell phased out the Dimension line of PC's and know all it's non-gaming computers carry the name Inspiron AFAIK.

Put a deadly mesh/meshbox on the floor outside the playing area.

Can one submit more than one map?

Edit: Nevermind. How stupid of me not to notice that.

Looks good and playable, one suggestion I'd like to make is to add some teleporters, which would make getting around a lot easier. Also, when I tested it with iBZEdit, the bases weren't in there, make sure you actually added them. As for options, tell me what map editor you have and I might be able...

Just a note, but zoneflag works like "zoneflag WG 1 G 3" versus "zoneflag WG,1 G,3". It uses spaces instead of commas. I'm not quite clear what the problem is. You said the safety zones are working, so what exactly is the problem? What A Looney Kumquat is trying to do is make it...

I like the general arrangement of objects for the castle. My only reserve in that regard is that the interior base section of the castles are a little cramped and it's a little hard to move around in there. Also, the map itself seems a little open. I don't think too many people are going to accident...
