How do I start a Dedicated server? (Steam)

[Esben]

You can't. Just let it be. Someone else may find it useful some other time which is why you can't.

k :D

Funny, it works for me. I'll look at the dedicated.bat file again.

EDIT: It looks like you have to put -steam before -dedicated.

Nope, still asking for a key.

Alright, I'll copy the exact code that I put in both .bat files:
Dedicated.bat:

Code: [Select]

start "" "C://Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Blockland/Blockland.exe" ptlaaxobimwroe -steam -dedicated
start.bat:

Code: [Select]

start Blockland.exe ptlaaxobimwroe
Dedicated.bat can be anywhere, but start.bat must be in your Blockland folder.


Nvm, I remembered you needed to add a .txt file in your Blockland folder.

Put a text document in your Blockland folder named steam_appid with the following contents:

Code: [Select]

250340
I apologize for forgetting about this step, and after you do it it should work.

You also need -steam on the start.bat, and it doesn't have to be in the folder if you target it with a full directory, sort of like what you're doing with the dedicated.bat.

Code: (steam_appid.txt) [Select]

250340Assuming you installed BL to Steam's default directory.
32-bit

Code: (server.bat) [Select]

start "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Blockland\Blockland.exe" ptlaaxobimwroe -steam -dedicated64-bit

Code: (server.bat) [Select]

start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Blockland\Blockland.exe" ptlaaxobimwroe -steam -dedicated
client.bat is the same, just remove -dedicated.

Thank you it worked :D
