First off you'll need a map. I'm assuming you have that. Now, place the .lvl into (your install path)/lava/maps folder.
Next, open up maps.txt.
Now, you'll need the coordinates for where you want lava to spawn. To find them, load up your map, use /b on the place you want the lava to spawn, and write down the coordinates.
Now, copy and paste this text into the maps.txt file:

Code: Select all

  <Map name="YOUR MAP NAME" phase1="0" phase2="0" author="AUTHOR NAME">
    <Source block="ahl" x="X COORDINATE" y="Y COORDINATE" z="Z COORDINATE" type="" delay="0" />
  </Map>

Replace the capitalized words with your own.
In the end, your maps.txt should look like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

</Maps>

Now simply load your server and the map will be on the list of avaliable maps.
