Yep, i’d also like to know how to set up my own Multiplayer Server.

Im at the moment so far that i’ve a LUNI Server with staying local IP. My problem is that i can’t use the register function. It crashes when i try to use it. I think that is because the LUNI Server is in a ‘localhost’ mode and i don’t know how to change it.

CDFalcon is right.
Egmo was unable to set up a server until Xiphoseer helped him, and his server is still buggy/unstable. If you want to set up a server, read about Port Forwarding. And Networking. And IP’s. And hosting. Then do it by yourself. DuckDuckGo is your friend, use it!

So does that mean that it is probably not in the ability for an average person to make a small multiplayer server?

Actually, no it is not out of the ability of an average person because it would be difficult. The issues are the following:
– The source has never been cleaned up to support a “fresh install”
– It’s a development snapshot, so some features are halfway done or broken
– It certainly has buffer overflow errors and other problems, making you vulnerable
– When stuff inevitably breaks, you’ll better have experience or you can’t fix it
– Noobs will spam everything when they can’t play

This is why I don’t recommend for anybody to set up a server. And the no-support, no-tutorial rule is to prevent people ignoring this.

I called a version of it pre-release v0.8 which proved to ne a bad idea as peopke distributed it and 0.7 was maters never finished build. As said in another thread, the jaller200 fork is a bit more advanced but that’s all that is public.

Hmm.

Well I ran mine with a few SSDs, a 3.0 Ghz processor, 32 gigs of RAM, and a terabyte or 2 of extra space.

However, that is me being over the top on ridiculous server setups I don’t need.

I would recommend at least 10 gigs of RAM, a 2.8 Ghz processor, and maybe 200 megabytes of extra space.

@cxopa (Seltox), what do you mean by “the secure file”? Is that mentioned in a tutorial of some kind, or what else requests from you to remove such a file? When setting up a LUNI Server, there is absolutely no need to remove any “secure file” at all.

If you are referring to the hosts file to make the original patcher work, i’d recommend to manually edit boot.cfg instead or use UniversePatcher or another configurable patcher out there (which I don’t know if they exist, other patchers might be server specific)
