Ok, so you've made your totally new awesome map. You'd like it get it out there and have people play on it. How do you do that?

<strong>Post it:</strong>
One of the first steps to get your map out is to post it on the BZFlag forums in the 'Map Release' section. Attach the map file (.bzw) and a few screenshots so people can see what the map looks like without opening BZEdit or starting a local server. You should also add any special settings/options that your map should require (telling us what they should be works, but having you type them out is even better). You can also attach a description of the map if you wish.

Another way to get your map 'out there' is to ask a hoster if they like your map and they'll host it. Either way, don't 'force' the map onto anyone . If it's good enough it'll be hosted sooner or later.

If you don't feel like waiting you can set-up a server of your own. Your home connection will probably not suffice for many players but it'll do if you just want the map on the server list. On the other hand you can also invest money in some bandwidth of yourself. Then you can be in charge of the server and the map!
