Columns & Rivers and Time Trial Available for Hosting
Columns & Rivers and Time Trial are attached for hosting purposes. My server is not as fast as I would like, and I would prefer to see these hosted on better connections. The map files are fairly well commented as far as the meshes and map build. If you use these, please send a /report on one of my servers (louman.homelinux.net and louman.homelinux.net:5150) with your email address so that I might contact you with map updates and ideas for improvement on the maps.

Map Release
One last note - if the map is used on a server, please give LouMan credit for the map on the public message for the server. It would be greatly appreciated

Time Trial Settings, etc.
Be careful with inertia settings - for some reason, grabbing a momentum flag on the track causes a wild, uncontrolled spinning reaction.
Also, the maps are running right now on my server (louman.homelunix.net and louman.homelinux.net:5150). Although I have a decent connection (cable modem with 256k up and 2 Mb down), I was hoping for a host with a better connection...
Thanks for all of the feedback and support - with this kind of reaction, I'll have to keep making new maps!
BTW - I use a text editor, AutoCad (for the layout) and LightWave (for the meshes) to build the maps .

Map Hosting
If you do host 1 of the maps, I'll continue to host the other (whichever one you don't host). Thanks!

I ran into something on TimeTrials. I was heading down the track.. Jump off... landed on the transporter at the end of a turn and locked. I couldn't jump or move off the transporter frame.
If anyone doesn't see it you're probably behind a firewall.
I don't know if it's a map issue, a bug in bzflag or what but just thought I would mention it.
PS:... I THINK my time is working Will know for sure tomorrow morning

Again, thanks - when are you going to put it on the list server?
Was hoping to get more feedback on it from peeps first. That and I'm still dinking with it.
At my kids request I increased it to lotsa shots and was even playing with gravity a bit.

Setting up the server to the public
You do not have to set up groups and users if you do not want to. I have only recently added that feature to my servers, because I am having trouble keeping up with them; I am recruiting a few 'cops' right now.
Basically, once you add your -public and -publicaddr line to your .conf file(s), you should be seen on the public list server...

1) I'll look into going public right now and see if it's for me.LouMan wrote:You do not have to set up groups and users if you do not want to. I have only recently added that feature to my servers, because I am having trouble keeping up with them; I am recruiting a few 'cops' right now.

2) The box and pyramid in the middle is just for height. I like to get high
3) Are you hosting any of you stuff on a cable modem and how does it effect your bandwidth for downloading/surfing when you're just wandering around the internet? How many users do you recommend on a cable modem? Going by the sticky on servers 5 to 8 users is about the most I should allow.
