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.

Blockland files are now stored in %userprofile%\My Documents\Blockland (Windows) or /Users/<username>/Documents/Blockland (Macintosh). For advanced users, this can be changed via the -profilePath command line argument.

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:

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.

What the hell is wrong with Macs?

[BlockoBlocko]

So, you need to type whatever you wrote on Terminal?? @Axlotl

There has to be a command line option for it.

[TheReventon]

consol maybe?

[Port]

There has to be a command line option for it.

The only console-related command line option that Blockland.exe has is -noConsole, which is the opposite of what you'd want.

Sorry there was no edit button.
This is how I do it on Mac.
/Applications/BlocklandLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS/BlocklandLauncher -dedicated -map skylands

In terminal

Do not change any of that. Just put it straight in terminal. Once it's done you can join the server and change the map ad other stuff.
Hope this helps.
PM me for any other questions! My in game name is Pinkie Pie!
