How to open and join a private server in Survive! 0.7
Opening the server
- Only if you want to play with friends over the Internet:
Forward port 2305 from your router to the PC you want to host the server on. This is only needed if your Internet connection goes through a router. Most people are. If you don't know how to configure your router, this page might help: wikihow.com/Do-Port-Forwarding - Get to know you IP-adress, you can do so by visiting a page like whatismyip.com . Share it with everyone who you want to join your server.
- Go into the game folder, right-click "survive.exe" and create a shortcut to it.
- Right-click on the newly created shortcut and select "Properties".
- Under "Target", add ' -diag -server' to the end of the line, after the closing quotation marks.
- Start the server with your shortcut. Make sure you allow the game to pass your firewall if you have any.
Joining the server
- Open the file "options.cfg" from the game folder with a text-editor like notepad. It should look similar to this this:
Playername;schokokeks.no-ip.com;2.881 1 1680 1050 2 1 2 0 0 0 100 - Locate the server adress. It starts after the second semicolon, and its standard setting is schokokeks.no-ip.com . Replace it with the IP of the server you want to join. If you want to join a server running local on very own PC, use the IP-adress 127.0.0.1 . Make sure you delete no semicolon! Example for the IP-adress 127.0.0.1:
Playername;127.0.0.1;2.881 1 1680 1050 2 1 2 0 0 0 100 - Save the file, close the editor and start the game. By clicking "Join Online Server", you will now join the private server you just entered into "options.cfg" .
If the connection fails or nothing happens, the server is either offline, you have the wrong IP-adress or the creator of the server didn't set up port forwarding properly.
If you want to revert your changes and connect to the official server again, enter schokokeks.no-ip.com as server adress.If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
