CO-OP builds (w/pics)

I also am building a city! Kinda... Haha. It's more of a courtyard but i could use some help its my 3rd map and its a little noobish. But when i bring up the servers list its blank. Before you get on to me about the wiki. I've read it. I just dont understand it.

There's currently no master server to tell your computer what servers are on. To get multiplayer to work, a server has to be running (just click the server.bat file in the sandbox directory) but a server won't do any good if something like a router is preventing it from having transfers with other players. I'm not sure what the ports are needed, but for a server to get through a router, ports have to be forwarded so the router knows where the information needs to go. To make all ported information go to a single computer, you can set the router's DMZ to your computer's designated IP. Do some research on your particular router manufacturer to learn how. A good site is to check is www.portforward.com

By that do you mean just the cmd.exe popping up and doing onthing else?

Thanks

Yeah, seemingly it does nothing. I suppose I could make a Tutorial with Pictures but I'm pretty sure the wiki explains it pretty well

would you rather sandbox output uncompressed maps damian?
the engine compresses them upon save with gzip

but you still have a point, it's more convenient for his to upload all his files inside an archive, than like this

Yeah, it's more convenient as all the needed files are in one archive.
It's also safer for the server, as tarballs and ZIP/RAR archives aren't directly executable on the server.

I got my IP address and I understand it mostly but I dont understand how it says if I use a router I might have to forward 28785 and 28786.
(note) I do use a router.

Thanks

Like I said, www.portforward.com has a lot of information on just about all router makes, it should tell you have to forward the ports that the wiki gave you

Mike already told me about that site it doesnt support my modem. I use Motorola.

[Dannyboi]

I checked the site and it does support motorola but it doesnt have my modem model. I think my is old, or brand spankin new
