did you unzip the game file? go to the /home/username/byond/ and type "make here" and follow those directions.

You gotta put the file name...like if my .dmb is TDW i would put
C:\home\william\public_html\TDW.dmb I think im not so good with Shell Servers...but im pretty sure thats how you do it | |

The install is the thing you downloaded. It was a zip file. Inside that zip file, there is a text file called "install" or "readme" or something (I forget exactly) with step-by-step instructions on setting stuff up.
That's not the problem, though. Your problem is that you're trying to open a file from your own hard drive, from off the server. That's never going to happen. The server is a completely different computer, AND it's running a different operating system. You don't have a hope of getting it to open stuff off your hard drive. What you can do (and should be doing) is uploading the file to your shell server, and then putting the path to that copy of the file into DreamDaemon. For example, say your home directory on the shell server is /home/govegtos. Make a new directory there by logging into the shell server and typing: cd mkdir mygame The first line goes to your home directory. The second one makes the new directory in your home directory. You should put something identifying your game in place of "mygame"; make it short and all lowercase and without punctuation though, to be safe. For example, if the game is "DBZ Icon Chatterz wurld!!1!11", you might replace "mygame" with "dbzicon". Upload the DMB and RSC files for the game (and any other files it needs) to that new directory you just created. Before you do that, you should rename the DMB and RSC files to the same thing you named the new directory; e.g. if you used my example of "mygame", then you'd rename those files to "mygame.dmb" and "mygame.rsc" respectively. THEN you upload them. The way you upload them depends on the shell server; look for an FTP login or something that you can use to upload to your account. Another popular method of uploading to shell servers is secure FTP, also known as "SFTP" or "FTP over SSH" (meaning FTP over secure shell). Then run DreamDaemon by supplying the path to the DMB, like this: DreamDaemon /home/govegtos/mygame/mygame.dmb 1234 But replace /home/govegtos with the path to your home directory, and "mygame" with the name of the new directory you made, and "mygame.dmb" with whatever you renamed the DMB to. Obviously the 1234 is the port number, as said before. | |

I have done most of that but what do i do from here own i am up to this part? run the following command: source /home/william/byond/bin/byondsetup If it generates errors, your shell is not compatible with 'sh', so you will have to edit byondsetup and make it work with your shell. If the script works, you should be able to run DreamDaemon. IMPORTANT: once you have the script working, you must add the above line to your startup script. The name of your startup script depends on the shell you use. Typical ones are .profile or .bash_profile. 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? | |
Read what it says, it tells you exactly what to run.
source /home/william/byond/bin/byondsetup cd / pico .bash_profile or pico .profile Depending on your system, do a ls -a to see if it's .bash_profile or just .profile. 'pico' may not be your texteditor, ask your system administrator about editing textfiles through shell if the command comes up not found. In your text editor your need to add the following line: source /home/william/byond/bin/byondsetup | |
