Disgia

hi, I've been trying to figure this out for a while now,
but i still can't figure out how to add my game to my hub, and i mean more like when i host it, to make the Play Now button show. I've tried many different codes, and i don't want people to be able to download and host my file, I want to be the one to host it.

I've tried using this

world
hub = "Disgia.PokemonGene"

But the play now button still doesn't show up. Please help me solve this, thank you if you can, if you can't, then at least thank you for trying.

Hashir	Are you sure your hub_password is assigned to your hub and the world is being hosted?

Disgia	I assigned no hub password, and my game is being hosted. My friends were able to enter my game fine when i gave them the link.

Hashir	I don't remember properly but I guess you need a hub_password for showing the "Play Now" button.

Dr.DraX	Are you sure you have everything spelled correctly? And also make sure when you're editing the hub, the box with, "Set hub path based on title" or whatever is CHECKED.

Complex Robot	You need to make a hub_password. Use the randomly generated one and copy & paste. (If someone found out your hub_password, they could make any game they want show up on your hub.)

Dr.DraX	I'm not sure why, it worked for me just fine.

I just think anyone in their right mind would use a password, unless they really want their hub to be spammed.

Disgia	I did need the password, lol, but thank you all for your help, seriously, i'm really grateful, i was trying to figure out what i was doing wrong for a few days now.

Momo Hinamori	Did you make sure you have this snippet of code in your dm file? world hub="yourkey.id" hub_password="hubpassword" If you don't have this information in your dm file, it wont appear on your hub.
