I have downloaded the pack, but, unsure what to do after that, can I have help please?

Most of it is pretty easy, hopefully.

Unzip what you downloaded to some directory.
Then run the .exe that is in the expanded directory.

This should prompt you for some settings for your world, etc. and let you launch the server.  You can test it by running the regular game and trying to connect to the server "localhost".  (Make sure your windows firewall settings allow connections.)

This will be fine for working inside your network but to let others access from outside your network you will have to map the right ports through your router/firewall and stuff.

I have done this, but the game won't open

Ok, I've opened both games, so, I type in "localhost"? What if I want someone else to connect?

You would have to provide them your internet IP address and the port you configured when you setup the server (usually best to leave the default port). 

In order for them to connect, you will have to configure your internet router to map the ports through.  Assuming you use the default port, you will have to make sure that UDP port 4234 maps through to your internal machine and that TCP ports 4234 through 4237 map through also.

That's the trickiest part and the hardest for me to help with since every cable modem and router is a little different.

It is now saying everytime I log in that I have to restart the game.

Can you be more specific?  What is saying it?  The client or the server?  Is the server still running?  What do you see on the server?  Is there an error log on the client?

I figured it out, it was just a small glitch that was fixed when I restarted my computer, it would freeze up when I entered my password, and would claim that my password was false.

Paul you should make a tutorial on the server installation. just to link it to people so you do not have to explain it again and again and again...

Yeah, I haven't had to explain it that many times, though.  And now I can point people here. :)

When I first put up a separate server, I wasn't sure how many people would actually use it.  And I think there are some subset of folks who run the server who just figure it out on their own.  Since I didn't get a lot of questions then I didn't put up anything.

Official docs for the server will happen, though... along with the useful script bundle for running a full-time server more nicely.

At least mod the download thing so that it gives instructions ON it :P

Yeah, I need some proper docs and a tutorial... there just hasn't been a lot of demand so far.

I demand! >:D

If you need help writing up a tutorial let me know, on a few other games I was made a moderator whos job was to help create and edit about 15 seperate players guides lol

I can give accounts on the wiki for anyone interested... or they can just post it here and I will link it or cut-paste it or something.

...or I will get to it eventually. :)

For me, I hate to redo things later so when there is little demand for docs I put them off as long as possible.

I guess since there us still so more that can be implemented it would be wastfull right now

Maybe when npcs get placed in, the first time someone signs in a npc can run up and play "greater“

If there is a better place to post stupid questions, please let me know, but I am wondering if I can play without connecting to a server at all, except of course to pick up updates? I am guessing (perhaps erroneously) that by creating a stand alone server, I can indeed play alone without being online. If so, what kind of storage do I need to run the game? Please advise, or tell me a better place to post my question.

Thanks,
Cat

You don't have to have a server to play at all.  You can just play single player.

Have you downloaded the game and tried it yet?

That was what I was getting at. So, I don't need the server download, then; just the Pre-alpha Test Build. Stupid question answered.

Thanks!
Cat

Have fun on Mythruna!

Where do I find this so called "pack" I need to download to create my own server? 
This is my first time even realizing I could do this so Im not sure how to get it started.

If you mean the server download... it's on the same page as the regular download.  Conveniently located on the "Downloads" page on Mythruna.com.

I think that's what I mean.  The first comment/question on this topic was someone mentioning having downloaded some sort of "pack" I guess that means the server download.

^^Is that what I'm looking for?

Yes, that is the Mythruna server for windows.  So if you are trying to download a Mythruna Server for Windows then that is the link you should use.

P.S.: is there a way I could make it more obvious which link to use to download a Mythruna server for windows?  All suggestions considered as I thought it was already clear.

By the way, here is a more detailed tutorial someone has already made... it was in the index in the tech support section under "Index (Read this first)"
