Looks like you have no port.

[Pastrey Crust]

Try typing $Server::Port=28000 into the console before clicking Start Server

[Pastrey Crust]

Try typing $Server::Port=28000; into the console before clicking Start Server

noedit. The semicolon at the end is important.

[phflack]

Try typing $Server::Port=28000 into the console before clicking Start Server

you mean on the normal client?
I thought the dedicated servers just automatically started without anything to click

[Pastrey Crust]

Yeah. The dedicated server does have nothing to click but uses the same pref file as the client servers so booting a server with the client will refresh the pref file and then the dedicated server has to work.

[phflack]

yeah, you were just a little vague about where to type it in
in the context of a dedicated server most would guess to type it into that console

[Scout31]

Yeah. The dedicated server does have nothing to click but uses the same pref file as the client servers so booting a server with the client will refresh the pref file and then the dedicated server has to work.

Except $Server::Port isn't a pref, $Pref::Server::Port is

[Cakey]

i typed $Server::Port=28000; into the console, then booted up a server, shut that one down (without closing the game altogether), then booted up the dedicated server and got the same result

tried it with $Pref::Server::Port=28000; too

[phflack]

check your blockland\config\server\prefs.cs file
look for the variable there, if it isn't, try adding it in and saving it manually

[Cakey]

yah the variable's there and it's 28000, should i try a different port or something or what
