Sounds kinda like my problem. Only I edited my map before I tried it.

This doesn't really belong in here.

Do you have the server set up correctly?

Look, post the conf, the log, and the map please. And check to see if you have the right port (you too dj.) when you connect.

Just do bzfs -world [pathtomap] on a command prompt in that case. Dunno if you even want to bother figuring that out though.

what OS (operationg system - IE. windows mac linux) are you using?

if its windows put this in your conf:

Code: Select all

-world "c:\pathtoyourmap.bzw"

Deathknight, you are thinking of your BZFlag configuration file I believe. There are separate config files that you can use for the bzfs server, but I prefer not to mess with them.

Find bzfs.exe and copy it into the same directory with your map file.
Then make a shortcut and point it to that bzfs.exe you just copied, so that the Target line looks something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\My Documents\My BZFlag Filies\worlds\bzfs.exe -world myworld.bzw

I think you will figure out how to modify that line for your needs
