Hello everyone im new to this whole making games thing and ive just recently finished coding a game but...the problem is hosting it.
Everyone even professional hosters cant seem to host this game. Ive heard from people that its a coding problem, from others ive heard its cuz i need to code the world and hub into the coding which i dont know how to do x.x
If anyone can help me out or figure out the problem ill be more then happy to send you the link to the codes so you can tell me how to do this or if you can use teamviewer to show me i would greatly appreciate it

You need to aid people when you want them to assist you.
As others won't know anything about the problem, you have to actually describe the issue you encounter (including the exact working of error messages if you encounter any) and what you expected to see.

I know what he is talking about. I'll reply quickly before I look for the answer for you, since I haven't published a game for a while.

There's a line of code that links to the HUB. You need to add this in so your game appears on the HUB. I'll find it now.

im trying to get someone to host my game...but everytime they attempt to host it even if they are able to host, they cant even bring up a server. what happens is that the URL that they get from me, regardless if its a newly uploaded one its always says Broken URL when they download it or it just doesnt allow them the host it. Ive heard that i need to code in my hub and world into it but idk how to do that x.x im still relatively new to coding

No, you don't.
You mention WHEN the problem occurs, not WHAT the problem really is.

Despite of what ADT_CLONE seems to think, blind guessing games aren't actually productive. It is similar to calling the garage and claiming 'my car won't move'. That's great, but doesn't help the mechanic in the slightest to diagnose the problem. It could be everything from lacking gasoline to an error in the electronic. The sheer multitude of possibilities for errors to occur in the process of 'hosting' means that you must be specific.

WHAT EXACTLY happens when they try to host the game?

Is this what he meant?
world
    hub = "Key.Game"
    hub_password = "The P.W"


although he said he knows how to program.

world
    hub="YourKey.YourGame"  //This is the Place on the Hub where your game will Show Up
    hub_password="Your hub password" //hub password is not necessary, but is required if you decide to add medals or scores

For example for a game made by Me and name is Naruto and hub pass is 123, for that it will be:-
world
    hub="Taha123.Naruto"    //This is the Place on the Hub where your game will Show Up
    hub_password="123"

If the problem still presists then you can talk to me on msn

i dont know what the problem is...idk if its in the coding or just the fact the host isnt trying or what but for me i can bring up an ONLY ME type server...I cant bring it live to Byond so other players can join...my router or firewall gets in my personal way even though ive reconfigured it and shut down my firewalls



On my original hub, i put it for download to see if it would work that way and nothign every one downloading it says its a broken URL so idk whats up with that


it says that a router or firewall is blocking them from hosting even though they are hosting a game already

You do not have to be capable of diagnosing a problem in order to properly describing the issue that you perceive as it's result.

That has nothing to do with your game's source code. Please read through this article.

broken URL

As I noted, please actually provide the URL in question to receive help on this specific step.


None of what you're describing here actually involves your game's source code.
