How do you host a server?

You have to update it.
How do you make a dedicated server?

(big_toilet here, from the subreddit(s) and IRC)
This is what I believe to be true:

Open opencmd.bat and type
Code: Select all
iceball -h
Navigate to a section where it says "For dedicated servers". It will tell you to type
Code: Select all
iceball -d port mod {args}
Below in the options it will tell you what the hell port, mod, and args are. My questions are thus:

Can I have a real-life example of this laid out? Like with something written instead of port, mod, args, etc. Can you have more than one mod listed at a time? What arguments would I need to pass and why?

I also have to confess I have no dedicated server. Can I still use this option running off my computer for decent results? If not is there somewhere cheap I can pay for someone else to host it?

yes, you can absolutely run a dedicated server on your computer. just don't put a billion slots on it.
port- this is the network communication port. just put in a random number other than something like 80 (SSH) (EG, unused port. look up a list if you don't know what are some common ones)
mod- these are just mods that will be on the server. look through the stuff and find what appeases you. "args" is short for arguments. i have yet to do this myself, so go ahead and do what GM made half of the page about.
read the manual.

Ok, thanks for your help. Pretty soon I hope to write some guides to stick on the subreddit to help out other new folks :)
