Here's an idea: A very simple webserver that hosts a single page on a nonstandard port, that, with the right login, grants server controls for startup, shutdown, and file access, while blockland itself serves the main pages from in-game? If the webserver was a custom precompiled program, then users wouldn't need to install an entire webserver to control Blockland remotely. But requiring PHP, a webserver that supports PHP, and a database? That's a bit excessive, especially since over half of the users will want it so that they can run their server while they are away from home. And people with actual servers that could use this probably already have a sufficiently advanced system for these kinds of things. |

This could be done so that the PHP server would be hosted remotely by an already set up web hosting provider. |

How many people do you honestly expect to: 1) Download this 2) Download + install + configure a webserver 3) Download + install + configure PHP 4) Mess about with their routers to get port forwarding configured correctly You realize this game is focused on kids aged 8 to 14? And you expect them to be able to do all this? What's that about? You know you can't do that right? That's insane. You've honestly put absolutely zero thought into this yet you're already claiming it's nearly done. You're asking people to host the whole thing themselves but use a remote database? Where's the sense in that? --- End quote --- Correction, I started at age 10 and could do all this. And more. |
