i would like to take in-game screenshots of mapping, but i have not a clue of what to download. i have searched this site and otland, and every thread i find with people asking this question just gets shot down with "use the search function"

i have used the search function for an hour now with all types of different word combinations for hosting and i can't find anything of help. most i've got was a youtube video from 2008.

once i get the hosting client downloaded, i am familiar with using lua and xml, i have hosted before for the same reasoning, but it was 8.54 back then.

if anyone could help me out with a link to what i need, i would greatly appreciate it

  • you need to download uniform server
  • if you want others to download you need to port forward, if not then put 127.0.0.1 as your ip in config.lua
  • you need to setup your database & everything, if you don't know how to do so just check one of the tutorials.
  • login using the ip 127.0.0.1 :)

thanks, i've looked and i cant find the config.lua though. it would be in the uniserverz folder right?
 
well, i could only find one tutorial, and the font on it was too small to read. again, i do not want to host for other people to log on, i just want to login myself and test maps/make screenshots.

do i really have to create a website and all that shit just to log on my server from my computer? i remember back in 8.54 days i didnt even have to have internet to log in my server that i was hosting from my own computer.

either way, if someone has the link to a tutorial that is readable, i would be in your favor.

You don't have to create a website, you can account manager...

All you need to do is download uniform server (I gave you a link ealier) & open apache & the other one, then click on phpmyadmin in the uniserver panel, also make sure to quit skype before starting the 2 processes as skype listens on port 80 by default. However you don't need that port to be open if you don't want others to login... Create a new database in phpmyadmin then click on import, and choose import a file... Now choose mysql.sql in your server files. Now you have a working database (to make yourself admin or so), now when you first open uniserver it will ask you for a password to phpmyadmin, you will put this password as the database password in config.lua *located in your server files.) & the IP as 127.0.0.1 and your ready to start the server
