first things first, how would I edit the game on my windows machine and run it on a linux server? does the server need some kinda of specific BYOND server? second, I want to package the whole shabang in one file(zip of course). all the graphics, ect... and then allow the user to unzip them, and have the game read it form THEIR hard drive, but not allow them to edit it. that way they don't have to download everything while they are playing(laaaggg....) how would I do this?
thank you all.

Presumably it will guide you through whatever you need to do, never done it personally but I'm fairly certain that's all you need to do to distribute a game which players can run but not edit. | |
well see, I found that. But I am using a linux server to run it, and I have FTP access, and
BASH acess(user prompt). so I need something I can run using a command line. | |

-shrug- Dantom can help you with the details. But the BYOND server most of us run our games off of is Linux, so there is no question that it's doable. | |

If so, you probably want to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to that directory. ie, in bash: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/byond/bin If it's installed somewhere else, substitute the appropriate directory. | |
I decided to answer both of your questions, using a tarot deck for the second one and a magic eight-ball for the first. According to my sources, the answer to your first question is "yes", and the second one is "three of clubs."
Oh, wait. This isn't a tarot deck.
