hey guys i need help i am intrested in playing with someone i know but not a server i want to play a downloaded map like how the yogcast do. So if some one could explain to me how to do it they will get and i will appreciate them. thanks.

Hm, I actually dont know but I'm PRETTY sure it has something to do with using a server running software and making it private and using your own ip? Something like that, look it up though. There is bound to be help somewhere on the internets.

Edit: Read this whole page, there is help on it here.

This is the way me and my friend plays maps together:
1. Both of you download Hamachi https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi2/download.aspx (download the unmanaged version)
2. Now one of you create a network with Hamachi and have the other player connect to your network
3. Place the map in your server folder
4. Open up "server.properties" in Notepad and change the level-name to the name of the folder with your map
5. Change the server ip to the ip-adress you have been given in Hamachi
6. Start the server
7. Cross your fingers and try to join using the ip-adress.
