You're not reading it throughally, all you have to do is go to the directory where BYOND is installed and type:
DreamDaemon [path_to_your_game's_dmb] [port] [options]
You have to upload the game's .dmb and .rsc file to your server, then changing the "[path_to_your_game's_dmb]" to the path where you uploaded the game's files. The port is self-explainatory, setting it to 0 will auto-select it. Options can be viewed by typing "DreamDaemon" without any arguements.

did you do the 'source /blahblah' command first? if so, then the dreamdaemon program should be working.

byond://my.ip.address.here:3000
changing 'my.ip.address.here' to the ip of the computer you ran DreamDaemon on. as long as you allow your firewall software to connect to other machines in the network and to port 3000, then the game should start up on your windows computer. | |

Would u consider this an error? william@frostmud:~$ Source/home/william/byond/bin/byondsetup -bash: Source/home/william/byond/bin/byondsetup: No such file or directory | |
Casing matters in Linux, it has to be "source" not "Source" and you need a space between it and the file path, as you've been told many times before.

Now i got this message BYOND(341.877) Error: error downloading resource file. That means you had an error downloading the resource file. Perhaps it's not in the same directory as the game's .dmb file? The resource file is the .rsc file. | |

Yeah thats right. As I told him over and over on AIM. Do:
DreamDaemon [gamename] [port] -trusted & That should solve your problems. | |

is 8302 the port you used in place of the [port] spot for starting the game?
in other words, did you type in to start your game: DreamDaemon ZDarkDragonballLegends.dmb 8302 -trusted & if not, try that first, then try to connect with the http://frostmud line you gave earlier. | |

I have this is what i get confused on
Once everything is working, you can find out more
about the software
by doing 'man DreamDaemon'. A host server has also
been included
so edit host/hostconf.txt and boot up your world
server!
Now what?
How will i do hostconf.txt what do i need to do to that?
