Please do not post when you don't know what you're talking about. And do not say "first post."
Anyway, Yin Yang, to
actually answer your question, dedicated servers are different from normal servers because if the host leaves their dedicated server, it will remain active. This is unlike a normal server which will shut down if the host leaves. To start a dedicated server, first be sure to have all your desired add-ons enabled in a normal server. Once you've done that, completely close Blockland and go into your Blockland folder (C:\Program Files\Blockland for Windows XP, or C:\Blockland for Vista). Find a file called "dedicated.bat,"
not "dedicatedLAN.bat," and double-click it. A Blockland console window should open and begin running game scripts. Just minimize it or whatever and re-open your Blockland game. Once you've re-opened it, click the Join A Game button on the Main Menu. At the bottom of the server list, you'll see a button labeled "Query LAN," click it. If you dedicated server is running, it should be the only server on that list. Alternatively, you can just find your server in the list of Internet servers and join it like that.
Hope that helps.
