How To Host Dedicated Server?
K1ng_0f_N0thing:
Did I ask this question or no? I dont know...
How do I host a free dedicated server? I want to make a good server but it needs to be dedicated.
Help please?
Red_Guy:
do this:
(assuming your running windows)
Find your blockland shortcut - make a copy of it, and put it on your desktop.
right click the shortcut, pick 'properties'
find the 'Target' box near the top, and add (at the END of the text): -dedicated
You will probably want a game mode too, so also add -gamemode <nameOfYourGameModeHere>
so when your done it looks something like this:
...(stuff).../BlocklandLauncher.exe" -dedicated -gamemode freebuild
Click 'ok'
now start the dedicated server -- you should see a dos window open. and it should stay open.
Next Join your dedicated server -- start blockland like normal. pick 'join game' and you should see your server in the list. if you dont see it, pick 'Query LAN' and you should see it there.
Pacnet2012³:
Make your own Dedicated Server for BL (WINDOWS)You will make a dedicated.bat file here for your server. Run this batch whenever you want the server.
* Step 1 : Open Notepad
* Step 2 : Type in the following code below into command prompt:
--- Code: ---"C:\Program Files\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe" -dedicated -gamemode custom
--- End code ---
* Step 3 : Save the file as dedicated.txt
* Step 4 : Rename it from dedicated.txt to dedicated.bat. If you can't rename it, go to Control Panel, Folder Options, the View tab, and uncheck "Hide extensions for known filetypes.
Now just double click dedicated.bat to run it. There you go.

It's "Program Files (x86)" because the game is 32-bit. Way to know what you're doing.

Only if you have 64-bit Windows. Way to know what you're doing.
