private server - Games - Facepunch Forum

so me and my friends want to create a private server so we can film and maybe all hang out and play together so does anybody know how to do that

did you join just to post that? :rolleyes:

Derp derp what game?

[URL]http://thegeekescape.com/?p=71[/URL] Basically, you and your friends need a program called LogMeIn Hamachi ("Hamachi" for short), you make a network with it, and your friends join. You start any Source game and enter [CODE]sv_lan 0[/CODE] and hit "Create Server". Once your server is up, tell your friends to join via the "connect" command followed by <Hamachi's fake IP>:27015. For example, connect 1.2.345.67:27015 (Note that the above [I]is an example[/I], and will not actually connect you to a server if put into the console.)

Or you could forward a port by going to [url]http://portforward.com/[/url] Then create the server. But that may be harder

[QUOTE=E-102 Gamma;21460517]That's [I]definitely[/I] harder. And a bit less safe.[/QUOTE] How so?

[QUOTE=PVT drone536;21461383]How so?[/QUOTE] hackers can connect to the server that way and delete your pc

[QUOTE=CoolCorky;21461533]hackers can connect to the server that way and delete your pc[/QUOTE] Are there any effective anti-spyware tools or Virus Blockers

it was a joke

[QUOTE=CoolCorky;21461551]it was a joke[/QUOTE] Still i like not to risk anything.The least they can do is use the server against me

[QUOTE=PVT drone536;21461825]Still i like not to risk anything.The least they can do is use the server against me[/QUOTE] ...Use Hamachi, when you create your network, make sure you use a secure long password, that way nobody unwanted can come on your network.

Be careful though because the server may get a SECRET VIRUS and start deleting files so you'll have to find the secret ADMIN GUN to shoot the VIRUS PARTICLES using the ANTIVIRUS FUNCTION of the GUN.

[QUOTE=killer89;21463888]How about just setting a password, doing that sv_lan 0 - thing, and the going to play?[/QUOTE] Umm... No. It simply isn't that easy. Hamachi really is the way to go.

[QUOTE=E-102 Gamma;21467269]Umm... No. It simply isn't that easy. Hamachi really is the way to go.[/QUOTE] Actually it is that easy, At times it works. If it doesn't, Hamachi time!

[QUOTE=E-102 Gamma;21467269]Umm... No. It simply isn't that easy. Hamachi really is the way to go.[/QUOTE] Yep, it is that easy. Has so far worked on me.

Now I don't have to fuck with my ports anymore. :downs: Have a heart, Gamma.

[QUOTE=Magman77;21474817]Can I punch you please? Or put your post in that "Computer illiterate people who think they know things v3" thread?[/QUOTE] Nope, you cannot. Why?

[QUOTE=E-102 Gamma;21475726]Nope, you cannot. Why?[/QUOTE] Because port forwarding isn't less safe nor is it hard?

[QUOTE=Magman77;21498393]Because port forwarding isn't less safe nor is it hard?[/QUOTE] Hamachi is still easier.
