Here you can find basic questions that are related to subspace maps (.lvl) files.

Why is it when I open subgame it closes really fast?

5/10/2001

When subgame opens, it looks for your template.sss, background images, your map, and certain .dll files. If it cannot find required ones (such as the map), it will close really quickly or display an error message. In your server.ini file, check to make sure your map name is correct, and that it is only the map's name and the file extension (.lvl) attached at the end. It cannot be formated like c:\subspace\server\yourmap.lvl. That file has to be in your server folder.
