to create a .lvl, head over to ssdownloads.com and grab a copy of SSME (SubSpace Map Editor)
as for settings, just open up your .cfg file (server.cfg for public arenas of your zone) in notepad and edit away (change values)
if you hit ESC, then C in-game (assuming you "own" the arena or have sysop powers) then you will see descriptions next to the nifty box that opens up with all the settings
if you want to browse descriptions whilst out of the game, you can check out your template.sss file which should be lurking around your Continuum or server directory somewhere - if not, grab a copy of a template.sss file (that's surely not too old) and have at it
post again if you have more questions

Ok I just need a little more help. I have no server.cfg file...I downloaded the server from shanky.com And I'm not exactly sure about what arenas are. Do I have to create one?

server.cfg, hrmmm, I think the server creates a .cfg file the first time your run it (or enter it) - I forget
as for other arenas...
I recommend arenamode=5 in the [custom] section of your server.ini
this makes all subarenas use spawn.cfg (by default it is the same as server.cfg I think) unless you change it or add more .cfg's
then what you want to do is make a copy of your server.cfg and rename it to the name of any arena you want to create (with different settings) [for ?go blah, you want blah.cfg]

And.... You can also use the Downloads list at www.shanky.com/server/downloads.html
They have a sample server.cfg there you can look at as a guide.
Note: To access server.cfg open it with notepad (I'm not sure if you knew that but if you knew forget about the note)

i can giv you a level i hav made once before if you tell me the type of level you need. if i dont have one, i can make it just give me the tileset specs and the type of game you'll be running and i can figure something out.
to get the bullets for everyone make an lvz with bullets.bmp in it and put the lvz filemane in the server.cfg setting i forgot what it was tho
