How to host multiple servers?

[Dannu]

I'm trying to start multiple servers on smooth's. Currently hosting a City RPG, would like to host something more TDM-ish. I know you have to have a whole seperate port and blockland installation, but how do i change that. I hate asking for step-by-step instructions, but it seems that's something that is needed atm. :/

Hosting on a VPS rented from NFOservers.

Noedit: also host something more*

unless you have steam you could just launch blockland twice then make them launch servers

The easiest way (in my opinion) is to make separate BL installations for each server. Then set each server to a different port.

Steam automatically disables multiple instances of a game.

Wouldn't this eat up RAM?

Isnt the max amount of RAM blockland uses around 1.5-1.6 GB?

.........making copies of the game folder does not affect RAM usage in any way...

And starting two servers will obviously double the RAM usage.

I was talking about when Blockland was running, but I forgot to read the "make separate installations for each server" part, so thats a mistake on my part. Sorry.

Download installer from here. Then install it on a different directory than your current install. Launch and put in key/ect. Change port of server. This can be done in-game when starting a server, or by changing it in config/server/prefs.cs by changing $Pref::Server::Port. Or you can put it in the server console by typing in something like $Pref::Server::Port = "28001"; to change it, then restart the server.

KK, thanks a lot, but shouldn't i put like port 29000, since blockland does use some ports above 28k?

28001 for one server and 28000 for another works fine for me. I used 1 2 and 3.

Blockland used to use a bunch of ports, but it only needs one now.

Okay, a bump. I am attempting to install it to a different location, but when i launch the dedicated server shortcuts that were created with the new installment, they just launch the one in Documents/Blockland. I know there is a way called -profilepath, but i am not aware how to use it, since i have never had the need to use it.
