Hello! I need help making a dedicated server without using RTB/Kalphosting(or what ever it is) I saw greek to me's posts on many other topics, but I didn't understand it fully. I tried what you said but the shortcut panel didn't say what you said it would. I could use some help please :C |

Okay I got it going, now I need to know how to do the profile thing... I put -pathprofile at the end, but I don't know what to do with c:\path\to\server folder SO I put -pathprofile c:\path\to\server folder at the end and it's giving me an error I also tried just putting -pathprofile Help. |

Can you post a link to the tutorial you're following so that we can see which step you're trying to work on? |

--- Quote ---Creating a Dedicated Server (for Windows) First, make a copy of your Blockland shortcut. Then right click on the new copy of the shortcut and go to Properties. Click the Shortcut tab. The target field will look something like this: Code: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe" To make this launch a dedicated server, add the -dedicated parameter to the end. It should now look like this: Code: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe" -dedicated You can now launch the server using that shortcut, but I recommend that you read below first. (Optional) If you wish to start a specific game mode, add the -gamemode Name_of_GameMode parameter to the end of the target. If you don't do this, the server will default to the standard/custom mode. (which allows you to set your own add-ons and customize everything) (Optional, but recommended) Set your dedicated server to use its own directory. (if you don't do this, it will use your current BL directory) Add this parameter to the end of your shortcut's target: -profilePath "C:\path\to\server folder" Setting Up Your Server Before you perform these steps, you should start your server at least once and then close it - doing so will create the pref files for you to edit. Note, these steps should be performed while the server is closed. To change server settings, open the file called "prefs.cs" in the "config/server" folder. To change which add-ons are enabled, open the file called "ADD_ON_LIST.cs" in the "config/server" folder. A 1 next to an add-on indicates it is enabled while a -1 indicates it is disabled. To install new add-ons, simply place them in the add-ons folder. Shutting Down Your Server This might seem trivial, but most people don't know how to do this properly. To shut down your server, enter quit(); in the server console. --- End quote --- |

Quick question before we can do anything else, can you host non-dedicated servers? |
