I tried to launch dedicated server today. (Sigh) Anyways, I tried Spunky's method and it was going O.K. When I hit enter the game launched and I got my hopes up, big mistake, but when I looked in the server list TAIBTUFASA wasn't there. I think I got it half way there because it launched when I hit enter in Terminal. Anything I am missing? Is there an easier way to do this? Where do I put the name of my server and everything when it's dedicated? SO CONFUSED!

Oh yeah im agreein........

SO CONFUSED!

Did you read the terminal as it was loading?
What was the last line?
Was there an error?
The terminal will tell you if it is actually being seen by the Main GG server because it will talk to it.

 

 

First of all the problem might be your router or firewall keeping your computer from being able to host a server
If it seems to be the router goto THE NEW MODDING RESOURCE under the dedicated server section for information on opening ports on routers etc.

If it is not your router allow me to emphasize the simplicity of creating a dedicated server.

All you are doing is making 2 simple commands that are exactly the same as you would from the game normally.

1. Start game (double-click icon)
cd path/ThinkTanks 1.1

2. Create Online Server (click online, click create, select map, and select game type, launch)
./ThinkTanks.app/Contents/MacOS/ThinkTanks OSX -dedicated -mission game/data/missions/TT1_1.mis -Game TB (MAC)

It is exactly like you do in the game.

P.S. You know... Not long ago everything was done in the Command-Line window. Opening applications, word proccesing, data entry, drawing vector lines, etc. (Don't get me wrong, it sucked!)
but nevertheless maybe you should start learning more about how your computer works. It cant' hurt.

Command-Line OS X
If PC google your own
