I am trying to make a sub-arena in a zone that is going to have different shipset and graphics. I downloaded a airplane shipset with "roll" and everything from subspacedownloads.com but when i unziped them, they where in .bm3 files and i think you need them in .lvz ? Well i cant figure out how to change the files "correctly" into lvz files and then save them in the right spot. Since they are graphics do i save them in the main folder under graphics or in the main Continuum folder ? I have tried doing somethings already but evertime i try to load them to the sub-arena i get d/ced and get (stuck) and it never gets any further. need help respond would be nice

Download the lvztoolkit from the downloads section of shanky.com/server

Look at the examples. Not very hard to find out.
http://home.arcor.de/cozy3k/lvz might also help.

For shipset, just place all the images that came with the file you downloaded into a lvz.
Put the lvz in you Cont main dir.
Use *putfile to upload the lvz to the server.
Now edit the server.cfg (your settings) and add your lvz to Misc:LevelFiles
i.e. Misc:LevelFiles=yourname.lvz

First off... get the lvz toolkit and read it.

Second a bm2 is just a bmp with renamed extension
(To change file extensions with file renames.... on a folder: tools> folder options > view tab > uncheck "hide extension for known file types")

Third: Contact me via im if ya need any help understanding lvzs.
