Maps Directory

Post by coffey67 »

Where do I put my downloaded maps so that they can be selected from the game menu?

Are these maps from the /saveworld command? Since if so, they would normally be available to be selected. (If I remember correctly.)

Or if downloaded elsewhere, you can run the /saveworld command. Then the directory where the map is saved is listed in that case and you can place your maps there.

However, I do recommend running maps from the command line, as you have much better control over the server and additionally, you can run/use plug-ins easily as well.

On Linux: ~/.bzf/worlds/ (where ~ is your home directory)
On Windows: c:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\BZFlag\worlds\ (Note that AppData is a hidden folder. There is a "Browse User Data" shortcut in the start menu that might work to get you there.)
On mac: ~/Library/Application Support/BZFlag/worlds/ (again, where ~ is your home directory)

You may need to create the "worlds" directory.

(Note that if you're on Linux and using flatpak or snaps, the .bzf directory might be sandboxed inside some other path in your home directory)
