Can't see the Bl screen with dedi command?

[bikerdude3000]

I start up the dedi command, but i can't see the BL opening screen. I see the people talking on my server, but i can't go and change the map on it, or join another server. Any ideas?

A dedicated server means that it is only meant to create a server. To edit settings on the dedicated server you need to modify files or learn how to execute commands within the text interface.

To access your dedicated server, simply start up Blockland and check the server listings to find your server. If you haven't edited prefs.cs (located in the Config/server folder) your server will be listed under the default blockland server name.

To access your dedicated server, simply start up Blockland and check the server listings to find your server. If you haven't edited prefs.cs (located in the Config/server folder) your server will be listed under the default blockland server name.

To configure the defaults to your server you need to do the following:
- Open your Blockland Folder
- Open the Config Folder
-- Open the server Folder
--- Double-click the prefs.cs file (You may get a message asking for what program to use to open the file. Use notepad)
--- Configure the file as you see fit.

To talk to people on your dedicated server use the following command:
- talk("TEXT MESSAGE HERE");

To see who is on your dedicated server use the following command:
- listclients();

If you have any other questions please ask them here in this thread and I will respond.

1. Start up them Blockland friends

2. Go into the Blockland file.

3. Press dedicated.bat

4. Wait for that RTB message to pop-up.

5. Look for your server.

6. Join said server.

7. Load said server.

8. Wait for people to join said server.

9. ???

10. PROFIT!

Thank you guys. However, once i open the dedi command, i cannot access the actual Blockland window. I can only have the dedi command open. So i can't change the map, or load bricks, or anything. What do i do about that? Because the dedi works fine. i can see the people on my server talking in the command box, but when i click on BL it doesn't open where i can join

You have to run dedicated.bat and then open Blockland.exe

i'm on a mac, but i know how to translate that. however, when i open the dedi command, it opens blockland as well. and when i click on BL again, nothing happens :o it's weird.

That's because macs handle programs a little different then windows do.  You can't have multiple instances of the same application running.  You shouldn't be running a dedicated server and playing on the same computer anyway.
