Starting a server should be disabled to the user if they haven't port-forwarded.

[AQuietBadger]

Horrible idea

I joined in v19.

nuuub

v15 ftw

but yes I'd like this support complete

might even /supportcake

[Isaac Fox]

No, he's saying that you don't need to port forward. Just make sure that UPnP is enabled.

OR you could just port forward!

What would happen if I deleted my router's port-forward settings for Blockland and adjusted my in-game UPnP?

[Snick0rz]

Just try to get both working as best as they can. Then users without UPnP could join via ports and those with enabled UPnP via just UPnP. However, some routers don't seem to support it, I had some trouble connecting to the auth servers on RB:Vegas 2 with UPnP enabled on my old router. Better somehow test it.

No please.

Stupid idea

Updated the OP, because I forgot to say that you should still be able to start a single-player server.

v8 Ftw.


Anyway, I somewhat support this and somewhat disagree.

There have been times, even before blockland supported UPnP that people were able to join my server without me port-forwarding.
There have also been times when I had port forwarded and nobody was able to join.

Get it in your HEADS!

Version 14 is out.

The main new feature is that port forwarding is no longer necessary for most people.

Enjoy hosting your own server.

Adding this feature you people are supporting would basically undo v14. Less servers, more anger, etc.

Then, what the forget do I do to be able to host?

[Christopher P.]

what i do is i dont use many add-ons

then the problem is getting people to actually see your server and bother to try to join

Enable UPnP on your router. For most routers, it should be enabled by default, though.

There's a program called "Portmapper" that acts like you're opening ports via UPnP. You don't need your router's admin password to do it, either.

To test if your port forwarded or whatever, couldnt you get in-game server search, find your server and look for any signs off ping?

[Kalphiter]

No ping
No players
No service
