I'd be happy to host for you... Private Message me the map and your config file. You have to click "Add an attachment", then in the next window, click "Browse", add a comment if you like, then click "Add attachment" to finalize it. Repeat that for the other file. The same process applies here, although you have to click "Post reply" to see the attachment panel.

You don;t know how to move files on your operating system? Maybe you should learn a little more about computers...
Oh, and please don't double post, especially not to just make a correction. The "Edit" button is there for a reason.

All you have to do is drag your conf file into the folder :D that simple.

-But Please remember that if your going to run your conf, as a server. That the path you put in the command prompt should match up to the folder that you drag the cnof into :wink:

I personally just drag my conf and map files into the c:drive then i can just type
-conf c:\conf.txt -world c:\world.bzw
Another way would also be to go into your conf file ----> save as----> bz folders name :D

goodluck

Yes, I'm happy to do what I can to provide hosting, but seriously... if you aren't capable of sending a map and config file to me in a PM, then you need to seriously think about whether you are capable of authoring a usable map and administrating the server properly.
