Once in a lifetime offer?

Greetings ShakerDeath.
Sorry for the delayed response, seems the whole BYOND Help crew decided to take a vacation at the same time. As for your request, hosting a game on Linux should require running a single command in the terminal. I do not have access to a Linux machine at this time, so I can't give you a walk through, but there is a help file included in the Linux package that should be able to explain to you the basics. Thanks Much. Danial.Beta | |
There's not much usefull in there..
I get errors like 'PATH' not found and such.. if i just know what commands to type in.. | |
I'm sorry, I don't have the documentation in front of me, but "PATH" should probably be replaced by the path to where your game is stored, so, for example, I would use the path "/home/danial/byond/mygame/mygame.dmb" because that is where my game file is stored.

I have knowledge of Linux, I run two Linux machines at home, what I don't know is the exact format for the command for DreamDaemon.
I pulled the readme file out of the Linux zip. It explains rather clearly how to host a game. The simple format is: DreamDaemon MyWorld <port> <options> & "MyWorld" would be the path to your .dmb file. <port> would be what port you want to use, this should match whatever port you forwarded on your outer. <options> can be a good few things, but the most important ones are -ultrasafe, -safe, and -trusted. Chances are you want -ultrasafe. So an example run of the command would be "DreamDaemon /home/danial/byond/mygame/mygame.dmb 1337 -ultrasafe &" It is that simple. One quick command. Reading the readme.txt included with the Linux version could have gave you this information way faster that I have. | |

From what i experienced you have to give dreamdeamon the full path to the host, and you have to set the LD Library Path: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/byond/bin DreamDaemon /home/user/byond/MyWorld/MyWorld.dmb 1337 -ultrasafe & | |
Assuming you install from the Linux Guild repositories:
http://home.sevon.co.uk/byond/byond-install.txt Then this is not the case. | |
I think it all depends on how you install BYOND on the system itself. I haven't had to do that in a very long time, so anything passed the installation I have no idea.
As for running DreamDaemon itself, there are two methods you can use. cd to the path of the .dmb you want to host cd /home/users/tiberath/mygame And executing DreamDaemon DreamDaemon mygame.dmb [port] -[mode -> ultrasafe/safe/trusted] [-logself] & Ampersand is used to tell DreamDaemon it's a background process and to keep it running when you exit your terminal. The other method, I assume is to point directly to the dmb from your current folder: DreamDaemon /home/users/tiberath/mygame/mygame.dmb [port] -[mode -> ultrasafe/safe/trusted] [-logself] & For the various parameters DreamDaemon supports, I refer you to the startup() proc. | |
