Play alone(For testing maps)
Play alone(For testing maps)
Is this possible?I mean yeah I made my own map but if I start a server I am pretty sure nobody joins becouse there are millions of other servers to choose from and that makes it impossible to spot my server so is it possible to playtest?

yes it it. just run it through command line and dont include the -public command.
ex:
cd\program files\bzflag2.0.5b4 (press enter)
bzfs -world [urmap].bzw
Make sure your settings are included in map.
Then you open bzflag, in server type: Localhost and in port type: 5154
ex:
cd\program files\bzflag2.0.5b4 (press enter)
bzfs -world [urmap].bzw
Make sure your settings are included in map.
Then you open bzflag, in server type: Localhost and in port type: 5154

Go to your start menu, then Run, and Type CMD and hit enter.
It should bring up black window with a command prompt. type That should leave you the prompt c:\>
Type If you use bzflag 2.0.4. if you Use 2.0.5b2 or 2.0.5b3 or b4, the numbering will change. You will have to figure it out.
your command prompt should then look like this
then type
Start up your bzflag client. type "localhost" (no need for quotations) in the server line. and use port 5154
you should be able to play!
Go to your start menu, then Run, and Type CMD and hit enter.

EDIT:I think using a shortcut and edit it from the target or whatever does this same I guess.
In linux, (a terminal) its like this:
bzfs -conf /path/to/bzfs.conf
If BZFS isn't in your path, then you'll have to find it on your own using either which, or locate.
[wili@piko bzfs]$ locate bzfs
/usr/games/bzfs
/usr/local/bin/bzfs
/usr/local/man/man6/bzfs.6
/opt/bzflag/man/man6/bzfs.6
/opt/bzflag/bin/bzfs
/opt/bzflag/bin/bzfs0
/chroot/bzflag/bin/bzfs
/chroot/opt/bzflag/bin/bzfs
[wili@piko bzfs]$ which bzfs
/usr/local/bin/bzfs
Notice that I have a version of bzfs in /opt/bzflag. That is my 2.0 BZFlag, and it
is not in my path, thus, it doesn't show up in which, only locate. NOTE: I've filtered out all the references to BZFS from the source directory, as I am not perfect, some other BZFS files may be missing from the locate pattern.
Don't ask, "Gee, is that really your name?" because it is.
Don't ask, "Why is it spelled like that?" because it's Hawaiian, and you don't need to know.
Don't ask, "Why is your computer named Piko?" because I have my reasons, and am not about to explain them.
Don't ask, "Why do you run Linux? Windows is much better." because I like Linux, not Windows.

Why is your computer named Piko?
Why do you run Linux? Windows is much better!
Why am i asking these questions even though you said not to?
You can also run bots like that. Just type the path to the bzflag you want to use:
cd\program files\bzflag2.0.4
Then type bzflag -solo #
# is how many bots you want to run.

I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones.
It is not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end.
Always remember you are unique. Just like everybody else.
