#REDIRECT [[Main Page]]
 
There are normally people in the #BZFlag channel on irc.freenode.net that can help live.
 
* http://my.BZFlag.org/irc/irc.cgi - web interface
* http://irchelp.org/ - information on IRC
 
The official BZFlag forum:
 
* http://my.BZFlag.org/bb/
 
The old forums are on SourceForge and less friendly:
 
* http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=3248 - main page
* http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9554 - help forum
 
There are a number of BZFlag mailing lists. The best one for support questions is bzflag-user. Archives and subscription information can be found on the SourceForge BZFlag project mailing list page:
 
* http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=3248
 
Some basic instructions:
 
* ListServer - using the ListServer for central registration.
* ["CreatingAServer"] - starting a private or public server
* SinglePlayerMode - running with bots on your own server
* SquidProxy - a possible work around if you are getting central login tickets, but not logging into servers
 
Crashing
* If your client crashes on startup or some keymappings dont work you might try removing your ConfigFile and starting again. You will have to set things like video mode and username/password again after removing it.
 
The man pages are online:
 
* [http://my.bzflag.org/bzfman.cgi?bzflag.6.in bzflag] - the game ("client")
* [http://my.bzflag.org/bzfman.cgi?bzadmin.6.in bzadmin] - a text-only client
* [http://my.bzflag.org/bzfman.cgi?bzfs.6.in bzfs] - the server
* [http://my.bzflag.org/bzfman.cgi?bzw.5.in bzw] - the game map "world" file format"
 
If you can't find what you need above, you can open a support ticket
 
* http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3248&atid=203248
