• Starting My First Server...
    6 replies, posted
So I am starting my first server, and I was wondering if there is a place to get all tha basics I need on how to do it. Because whenever I try to start one up, the game always crashes. Thanks. Also I want to start a DarkRP server.

And start with a vanilla to ensure things work at all "before" you make it yours.
Thanks for the replies. Does anyone know how to game from crashing the second I start the server though?
Are you using a dedicated server (rented or using dedicated server tool) or listen server (using "create multiplayer" in the menu)?
I am using the "Create Multiplayer" button. I would like to learn how to use my own PC as a dedicated server, but for now that is not in my interests.

You need to forward ports, obtain your external IP address and start your server. Then give the external IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27015) to your friends and have them connect using the console command "connect <ip address>."
