This utility could prove quit useful as it hosts BYOND worlds. I cannot host, so this would help a lot. But I have no clue how to use it, and is taking me too long to figure out myself. How do I use it? If I can't, then someone needs to help me take down my router, firewalls and such so I can host myself.

If you are reffering to dream deamon, then you will have the same limitations via dream seeker hosting wise. It still hosts it off of your own computer.





EDIT: I edited out "dreasm seeking" ... good god do I need sleep

Hurray for seeking dreams! Err, uhh... I'm not understanding the question, could you rephrase it?

I want to host a game. The hosting utility that Dantom made proves to do just so. I cannot host by myself because of proxies and firewalls on my computer. Dantom's hosting utility says I can host it though. So how do I do this?

Does that help?

I JUST WANNA HOST DAMN IT!!! LOL

Well, you CAN host it. Goto a Dream Maker environment and press CTRL+R, that, or you could run a .dmb file. Both ways work, but having a router means you can't allow any people to enter, being very nauty. So, what you'll want to do is open a port in your router, then use that port for you to host.

I've tried to do that, but it still doesn't work...the router and port I mean, I still can't run games...

You can't run games at all? Or you can run games, but no one can join?

Exactly. No one can join.

Well, wait for one who can help you further. I don't have a router, or any protectiong on the computer. Therefore I haven't experienced nor delt with the troubles with them.

I've been trying to do this for 2 months now, and I still can't fix it. No one can join, and I can't get anyone to help me. Every effort hasn't worked, and I've tried everything within my power... I just don't want to give away my coding for my game so other people can host, and I can't get the downloading thing for people to host thier own games to work...so I'm screwed either way.

You don't have to give your source code for people to host, you can simply zip the hosting files needed (.dmb .rsc). Get into your environment, click the tab beside Build, then click package files (Sorry I couldn't remember the name, Dream Maker has been being screwy with me). So from there you'll want to pick the type of extracting you'll want.

Unless, someone can help me with that. To get people to be able to host thier own games! How could I do that?

Okay, I did all that, now how do I get it so that it can go into HTML and get it into the Hub?

You'll have to upload that zip file onto the web, then create a new hub entry. Follow the instructions then.

I just got a headache looking around for a server that allows me to uplaod just a zip file. I have no clue how to do this stuff, and I am getting impatient. i just want to get people to play may game and they gotta make everything so f-ing complicated. There has to be an easier way. Which the the best free server to use that is easy to uplod zip files so they can be downloaded for free use?

You'll probably have to pay for one of those, luckily I got mine free from a friend.

well, I think it's still down, but once Oreldwin/Nadrew fix it, www.planetbyond.com has free zip uploading.

So basically, what you are trying to say is, until they fix planetbyond.com, I have no hopes of getting my game up and running unless I have to get someone else to host it...

This sucks.-_-
