24/7 dedicated blockland server on MAC
BlockoBlocko:
Hello, my name is BlockoBlocko and I want my own zombie survival server. I want a 24/7 dedicated server, but when I google it or search in youtube, all the results come out as how to make a dedicated server in windows. I am an user of Mac Os X Lion 10.7.4. Please, if someone hosts a dedicated server 24/7 and uses mac, please help me thanks. :nes: :nes:

Example:
Windows: C:\Program Files\BlocklandLauncher.exe -profilePath "D:\games\Blockland"
Macintosh: /Applications/BlocklandLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS/BlocklandLauncher -profilePath "/Foobar/Blockland"

If you want to do a click-to-host-dedi thing, you need to chmod the .command file to make it executable for you
If you want to stop the dedicated server, you need to forcequit the Blockland application by using the option+command+escape menu.

Oops, wrong thing:
--- Quote ---Launcher/Auto updater works in dedicated server mode. To run a dedicated server, run it the same way you would before except with BlocklandLauncher.exe.
Example:
Windows: C:\Program Files\BlocklandLauncher.exe -dedicated -map skylands
Macintosh: /Applications/BlocklandLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS/BlocklandLauncher -dedicated -map skylands

Wrong. Type quit(); in console. This is always the correct way to shut down a dedicated server.

Macs don't have a terminal window for dedicated servers.
