Thanks to everyone who stopped in and tested this out.
This whole Hamachi thing is quite interesting and I wanted to do a little test-drive of its BYOND capabilities. So if you have Hamachi and you want to test something out real quick, just join my Hamachi Network and click the BYOND link. Password: password123 BYOND link: byond://5.242.170.149:10000 We're done, thanks everyone! (: | |

Since BYOND already supports multiplayer over the internet, using Hamachi is absolutely meaningless. Some people can't port-forward because of their unfortunate internet setup, and this makes it so you don't have to, so I think it still is useful to some people. Keep in mind, I do have a few ports forwarded, but because my ISP is strange in that I'm still unable to host directly to the BYOND site. (It gives a strange IP, like 127.0.0.1 instead of my real IP, 67.82.something.something.) | |
I was thinking about Hamachi + BYOND a while back, but I couldn't find anyone to help me test it. :(

127.0.0.1 = localhost
localhost = you Everyone is 127.0.0.1. An easy way to figure out your computer's local area network address is to run ipconfig in cmd.exe. | |
Yeah, Oasis, that's the local adress; the adress you can log in with should be on the dream daemon (unless you're using DS, I never use DS =/)

I've tried using Hamachi with BYOND quite a few times in the past, and I was unable to actually start hosting on the Hamachi IP. How did you start hosting like this?
| |
Just make sure you disable file sharing while using it. Somebody got a hold of some of my sources a few years back while using this.

Congrats. I've used Hamachi for BYOND years ago when I didn't know how to portforward. Now I just forward ports, which is much more accessible than having to install Hamachi and join your private network.

ROMs on BYOND. Why!?!?
