mob verb address() usr << "byond://[world.address]:[world.port]"
this gives me a bad address could anyone explain why?

world.address will return null if it can't be determined

it is determined, by whoever the host is How would i fix the problem then?

I believe world.address is null in DS, and in Dream Daemon it may know the address but will only know the local address; if you're behind a router, the local address isn't the one that others would connect to.

Nothing. It doesn't seem useful to me in any way to tell someone the address of the server (they can find it themselves anyway), and the address isn't known to DS.
