Help playing my levels...

I have several questions:

1. Can you play a map without starting a server? if so how?

2. If you can't play a map without a server, how do I start a server?

No.

You should've specified your operating system. I presume it is Windows. Check out this link:http://www.metalforge.net/cfmb/viewtopic.php?t=98

I read that already, but it dosn't make sense to me.

I use the direct X client and the java editor.

How do I start the server?

If there someone who can explain it step by step it would help????

I use windows 98

There's another thread on server for windows in the forum, here's the direct link to exe:

Doesn't work when i click on it (Geocities error), but if i copy link, open a new window & paste it directly, works fine.

Try that last method

There still additional files that must be downloaded, unzipped, etc.

Please confirm that you have done this, or provide more details on any problems that you might have encountered so they can be resolved (and so that the README can be updated where necessary.)

On a side note, perhaps more specific URL's would be more helpful for the README. ?

readme wrote:
You need to do the following:
* get source tree, either from CVS or tarball
(see sf.net/projects/crossfire for cvs info & tarballs)
* unzip that somewhere
* copy the crossfire.exe to the main 'crossfire' directory
* change to 'make_win32' directory, run the 'installwin32.bat' script
* fetch some map set (only tested with bigworld maps), from CVS or SourceForge's page
* unzip the maps in share/maps (with the file '.emergency' in share/maps)
* in share directory, rename treasures to something like treasures.old
* copy file lib/treasures.bld to share/treasures

That should do it.
Just run the executable (make sure working path is the same as where the .exe is located)

Any trouble should be reported to the forum, or one of the mailing lists
