Hosting without joining

QwertyPuffz:
How can I host a server without actually joining the server?
I want to host on one computer and join on the other.

Conan:
you have to host a dedicated server. read up on how to do so in the latest development topic in the development board

QwertyPuffz:
I know how to host, it's just forcing the game open every time I start to host

my parameters are -dedicated -steam -gamemode <gamemode> -dtoken <token>
or
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Blockland\Blockland.exe" -dedicated -steam -gamemode xyz -dtoken xyz

I'm plugging the parameters into a shortcut of the games .exe file

My goal is to host without having to be in the game. When I close my game it closes the server.

Goth77:

--- Code: ---C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Blockland\Blockland.exe" -dedicated -map skylands -dtoken abc123
--- End code ---

-steam parameter is not needed for the dedicated cmd

Conan:
if you’re doing it right, the dedicated server should be a headless blockland console (no game client/game window). if steam detects that as the game is running, using steam to stop the game probably would stop the server, so if you open a separate blockland client, quit via the ingame escape menu or by closing the console associated with the client
