Is it possible to host a "Hidden" server?

[Zealott]

Is it possible to host a server that cannot be viewed from the server list, and must be joined by IP or something else? Just curious.

i don't think so

[The Brighter Dark]

it would be vveerryy hacky

[Tyler66]

I'm pretty sure there's a way to prevent your server from posting itself on the master server. Making your server "hidden".

[Swollow]

yes easily

[awesomebread]

yea just get banned from the master server

I would say drop connections being sent to master2.blockland.us, but you'd lose the ability to use the server list. If you're using another computer you don't plan playing Blockland on, that will probably work fine.

Or just password your server, and/or use a whitelist addon.

[MARBLE MAN]

totally possible,
You can even change what master server you post to (I advise against this)

You will notice that the v0002/TBM/RTB master server isn't hosted where it originally was

Yeah, very easily through script.

Yeah, very easily through script.

How?

[Axo-Tak]

How?

Package WebCom_PostServer(); to do nothing, I think.

[PurpleMetro]

Package WebCom_PostServer(); to do nothing, I think.

and if people viewing don't know how to do this:

Code: [Select]

package hideServer  {
    function WebCam_PostServer()  {
        //This does nothing now!
    }
};

activatePackage(hideServer);

assuming axo-tak's function reference is correct

(copy/paste in console)

but then how would people join it

typing the IP?
