I've recently fallen across use of a shell server that uses bash (a java shell program) as the shell access console. How do I install BYOND on the server, first, and second, how do I run a BYOND game on said server?
I don't have any experience with shells, can anyone point me right?

Try searching the forum. There are many posts about it I think. You might be able to contact Digi, he is good with Linux, but maybe bash also >.>

Do I have to run 'make here' every time I want to run Dream Daemon? Or from now on, can I just hop in and run dream daemon whenever I want?

I am pretty sure it is that one time, I might be wrong though. Also, was this free? If so can you tell me where you did it =P.

The 'make here' compiles the program and all that good stuff. If you installed as root there's nothing required to make it installed persistantly. If you installed as a normal user you need to add the "source /blah/blah/byond/bin/byondsetup" line to the startup file, usually called ".bash_profile" or ".profile" Linux considers files with a period at the beginning hidden, so to view them you use the "ls -a" command in your home directory.
Also, "bash" isn't the program used to access the system, it's the program the serve is using to let you enter commands. Instead of using a slugish Java-based SSH program I suggest checking out Putty it's a very well-done way to access shell servers using Windows. | |
It was free, but I've got hook-ups through a friend. I have to pay for domains, but just to make you jealous:
http://www.ddghosting.net/ DDG hosting: DDGUpgrade hosting package: - Linux OS - Quad Intel Xeon 2.4ghz Processor - 8gb RAM - 10k RPM HDD - Multi-Gigabit verio backbone - 1 terabyte transfer limit per month. - 3.5GB Storage space - unlimited subdomains - unlimited MySQL databases - up to 10 trillion pre-paid domains (yeah, I don't even comprehend why anyone would need more than four or five.) All for the low, low cost of $0 per month. The only reason I managed to recieve this package was because I have a friend who is friends with the owner. He and I are sharing our own server machine. He has this manga discussion board up, and he only uses like 300mb transfer per month, so I decided that it would be a shame to let that entire terrabyte of transfer go to waste. Now, I WISH I could hook you up with free hosting, but it's just not in my power. He does have some decent packages available. It's about $40 per month for his standard package. It's not so bad a price, and it is EXTREMELY fast, and SERIOUSLY reliable. | |
