TUTORIAL: How to make a Mythruna Server
Hello all, I have come to see a couple of people (including me) have been needing to make a server, and you port it through Mythruna's port, and you get an error while trying to create an account to log in to that server.
First, go to
http://mythruna.com/download-now, and scroll to the bottom to download a server version. If you are on mac (or other), you want to download Linux version. Why? I recall hearing that mac servers do not work properly (please correct me if i am wrong.) How to start the server is at the bottom, you also need to know everything here.
Extract, unzip, whatever you need to do. Now you need to port through your router. This is the 'hard' part. If you read carefully, it will be easy.
_____
1.) Access your Command Prompt. on Windows(7/Vista) open your Start menu, and search "cmd" and hit enter. for XP, click start, click run on the side, and type in "cmd.exe" and hit enter.
2.) type in "ipconfig" in the console(on Linux system, type "ifconfig"). what you want to do is scroll up to your IPv4 Address. Make sure not to confuse it with IPv6, which has many characters. (above Circled is an example.)
3.) Visit
http://whatismyip.com which tells you your router IP address. type that into your address bar and hit enter. Then, a window should pop up asking for login. If you don't know these, the defauts are
USERNAME: admin
PASSWORD: password
Now, the tutorial is on a NETGEAR router, but every router contains this somewhere, you can find various youtube videos on where to locate this.
4.) Scroll down to ADVANCED -> Port Forwarding / Triggering.
5.) Click "Add Custom Service"
6.) Then, this screen should pop up and enter the information, the Service Name is just a name for you to input, nothing special. Input your IPv4 address we got earlier into IP Address.
You will do this 3 more times, but with different names, and different ports I put Mythruna.1, because that is the first port I had to do.
Do the same step with these ports also,

There you go! You have created your server. If you had any trouble interpreting this, I will try to make it a little more clear. For all of you MAC users, please look up a video on how to 'port forward'. same goes with a different type of router and/or provider.
For MAC, do the same thing, but the server is run differently. Download LINUX version, then go into a text-editor, and enter this:
java -Xmx512m -Xms256m -cp %1 mythruna.server.GameServer (Linux has a Bash file already included.)
save it as
RUN.bat.
You can change RUN to run, or run_server or whatever, that is the name of the file. as long as the file extension is
.bat you will be fine.
You use that file to actually start up the server.
Errors:- I cannot log into my router! - You may not have the right host to actually get into your router, such as a local one only, hard to explain. If you have something Like cox internet you will be fine.
- My friends cannot log on - The error here may be that you messed something up or that you don't have a Static IP Address. if you have a static one, your IP will stay at the one you got when you visited whatismyip.org that IP was temporary, and it changed so you had to give it to your friends again. If you want a static IP address you will have to contact your internet provider.
I will later tell you on how to become server admin.ENJOY!How to become a server admin
