How do I use hosting services?

[-Paint-]

Due to the fact that no BL hosting services are a thing anymore, im planning on buying off of non-blockland sites. But once I have bought it, how do I make it host blockland for me?

Easy way: Windows VPS
Harder way: Linux VPS

There are many sites that will sell you cheap VPS (but be aware of the space and cpu it gives you)
You'll need to create a batch file in the blockland folder such as:

Code: [Select]

start Blockland.exe ptlaaxobimwroe -dedicatedOther frequently used tags can be used such as:
-gamemode GameMode_YourGameModeHere
-port PortToUse

Depending on what you have you may need to download FileZilla or just connect to your server with windows remote desktop connection

If using linux I am pretty sure you will need FileZilla or some other FTP application.
For Windows you could use what Brighter said, and make sure clipboard sharing is enabled so you can copy and paste your files easily

Glass Hosting is still a thing.

ptlaaxobimwroe is a password to get around the launcher, without this you cannot open Blockland.exe by itself. The launcher runs BL using that password when it's finished doing its thing.
