| How to name your dedicated server? |

Ok I forwarded my ports, yada yada, etc. Now I finally loaded the dedicated server using the "Blockland Dedicated Server" program included with the game in the Program Files. But how do you name the server so if I wanted to access it from the "Join Game" section? |
| Lugnut:
the game, as of v20(?) is now located in the My Documents/Blockland directory, not program files. To launch a dedicated server, you must create a shortcut to "BlocklandLauncher.exe" which is inside of the My Documents folder with the arguments -dedicated -map skylands. Someone quote Spook on his "easiest tutorial" |

By default it will be [Yourname]'s server. --- Quote from: Darknighte9 on March 20, 2012, 04:24:12 PM ---"Blockland Dedicated Server" program included with the game in the Program Files --- End quote --- Someone feel free to correct me, but I'm pretty sure this is just an obsolete old version of dedicated server hosting; there should only be two files in your program files folder - BlocklandLauncher.exe and Uninstall.exe. Anything else is just the ghost of an old version. When joining your own dedicated server that is in your home network, you will probably need to query LAN to join, rather than query internet. There are plenty of posts around explaining how to host dedicated servers without that .bat, I won't bother repeating that. |
