wind prism
Are they the same ones listed in the server.ini file?
sharp sequoia

is it the servertest.ini?
i don't see a server.ini
wind prism
is it the servertest.ini?
It can have various names, but yes that should be it
wind prism
yes, those are the same ports
Good
And when you start up the server, as it runs through its loading script, do you get a note that says something about discord when it stops loading?
sharp sequoia
mmm no i dont believe so let me start it up again and check
from everything i read online, it is launching. i can see the server from my main computer, but i cannot join.
its loading now ill get a screenshot as soon as its finished

Nah thats not it
It'll be in the config file that they were taking screenshots of earlier
Its a name they assign the world in that file
civic orchid

The same one the port information is in
If they didnt assign a name, the world would be nameless
civic orchid

How do I join??

- Select "Join"
- Select the "Internet" tab
- Enter the name
- Enter the Address (games.dzphosting.com) into the IP box
- Leave Local IP blank
- Enter the Port
- Enter the password -- Not every server here has a password. If you don't see a password listed in login info, it does not have one.
- Enter your username (this is what your name in server is)
- Enter a password that you will remember (so someone cant steal your account)
- Hit SAVE (IF YOU DO NOT HIT SAVE THEN NONE OF STEPS 1-10 MATTER)
- Server will then be in your "Favorites" tab
- Join the server. Or dont. I dont care.
