HamHost Dedicated Blockland servers | New poll: More free-user features?

[Zeblote]

Yes, that would be useful, but remote brick loading is more important.

No that wouldn't be useful at all

I cannot see your Blockland key when you enter it, because the console window is completely blank. This is because the control panel program captures output from it.
Also, I don't need to be there when you enter the Blockland key.

You have the key.dat file

You have the key.dat file

That's encrypted up the star fish.

Hammereditor, could you open TCP port 40000 in your firewall or something? I'm unable to connect to my TCP server running on that port. And yes, despite it being my blockland port it will work. Just open TCP 40000.

Okay; I can do this in about 3.5 hours from now.

I now decided to unblock the port. Now your server can operate.
Also, you can just use hammereditor.net:40000 to connect so that people can remember it easily.

And blockland has a function to decrypt it. Your point?

Nobody has yet figured out how to do it.

Congratulations to MonkeyFunky for being the first paying customer!

...it's easy

As long as you have access to blockland.exe on the computer the key.dat was created on.

Yay

Perhaps you could keep this hosting service free by the use of advertisements or something else? Your hosting service being free for everyone would put it in the greenlight imo.

That would only work if we had a market for Blockland-themed advertisements. Of course, if Blockland becomes immensely popular on Steam, that could very well happen.

Such as momentary sponsored messages on servers hosted by this service?

Yeah something like this. If it's free for me to have a server i'll get one.

If all free slots become full, I will only accept premium users, and kick out free users who don't use their server much. That will make room for more premium ones.
Essentially, paid users have a higher priority for having an account than free users.
Blockland itself doesn't advertise. My hosting service makes up about 0.06% of Blockland's culture. I don't think advertisements would even help if I was hosting Team Fortress 2 or Minecraft game servers.
Blockland needs at least 600,000 players for HamHost advertising to even attract 1 premium user every month.

I don't know how I'd force the messages to be shown. I could deny write or delete access to the System_HamHost add-on. But people could download the add-on since it has read access, and just overwrite the functions. If I denied read access, too, how could Blockland execute it?

And blockland has a function to decrypt it. Your point?

I think the authentication server decrypts the product key. The BL program just sends the encrypted key.dat file, and the master server tells Blockland whether or not the key is valid.
So you cannot get the clear text unless you have access to BL's master server.
