Go to Publish Games >> New Hub Entry >> Then select the first option >> Press Continue >> Then for example YourName.YourGameName >> Type in a description >> Enter a forum url if you have one >> If you have a website put it in under Info Url and then put some stuff under Info Text >> Click continue if you don't have hub icons >> Select Alpha >> Press Continue

To Host: Open DS (Dream Seeker) and open a game. Then in the right bottom corner you'll see the word 'Host' click on that and press Enter.

Now comes the problem of do you have a router? If you do then check out this link,VERY helpful!

That link is specific towards my router model but it might work for you.

Your hub entries are given a unique identifier that can be seen from the main page for the entry on your control panel. Now, in your game's code add the following somewhere:

world/hub = "yourkey.yourgame" // This should match the identifier.

ok..... tell me..... i make a game, now what?...... u said one thing, then after i reply, another, and then after i reply again, anoother >=(


tell me, i dont no ANYTHING whatsoever about hosting, besides that if your not useing dream daemon, if u loggout, everyone else gets kicked,

and that your pretty much in charge when your hosting, and that seems to be a simple thing to no about hosting



so in on, or 2 replies, or 3 in a row.... HOW do i host

Please, get your grammar and spelling correct, it's "know" (as in knowledge) not "no"

That's how to host via Dream Daemon and Dream Seeker, very simple and straight.

Well, you stated how to HOST, not how to SHOW the live game in your HUB.

For routers and all that.. well, they did state is players can't connect, than the ports are being blocked.. and if you went to check out that topic, they help tell you how to configure your router (or you can just go to http://www.portforward.com)

For showing the game on your HUB:

You can make your hub via your account in the top left corner, following instructions and all that stuff. Once you have a HUB made, program in the hub address:

http://bwicki.byond.com/ByondBwicki.dmb?ProtectHub

That is a link to show why you should use a hub_password but at the end is an example of how to program in your hub address

If this doesn't help you, come to hub://Hiead.Chatty and explain clearly what is it that you want help with

Okay then, do you have your key set in the coding to show up on the hub, and when setting it up on the hub did you put your key, via the coding for that key to link them together on the byond hub?
