Author Topic: How to make a blockland server on a VPS [TUTORIAL]  (Read 1588 times)

--THIS USES GREEK2ME'S DEDICATED SERVER SCRIPT--
The first thing you want to do is buy a VPS. I reccomend getting an ubuntu. After you have bought it, download BitVise and WinSCP. Get your details for the login, and input that into BitVise. type apt-get upgrade and apt-get update. When that is finished, type apt-get install wine and apt-get install screen and finally apt-get install xvfb. Now find your login to WinSCP and login to that. Once you are finished find the BlocklandLauncher.exe on your desktop/in Program Files (x86) and drag that into WinSCP. (don't drag it into any folders!) Now go to BitVise again and type wine BlocklandLauncher.exe -dedicated. When it is finished go into the root folder and it should be there. If there isn't all of the files, wine the launcher again. Now make a folder called "blockland-server" and drag the blockland files into it. Now go into bin and create a file called "blockland-server" and put Greek2me's script in it. Save the file and go back into the home. Make a new file and put this in it. Name the file "server"
Code: [Select]
cd
/bin/blockland-server
screen -x blockland-server0
Ok, almost done. Now go back into BitVise and type:
Code: [Select]
cd
/server
Now the console should pop up and you are prompted to enter your key. Type setKey(key); Now you have a blockland server. Congratulations.
Credit to Greek2me for the script. The reason why I'm posting this is because I don't want everyone to take 4 hours to set it up.

i made a python script to help download and update blockland files on such setups where the launcher can't be used on the local machine to download files
