Basically i want to host a server, and people to connect via LAN (evolve actually), i read it has been done before (so no need to portforward and such, or even have a router); but i couldnt find an explanation on how was it done!

I used to host servers before, until my ISP fucked me ower by putting me under a local router (10 people share same IP, and personal routers dont work). This sadly meant not being able to play with friends alone anymore....

Reason i want to do this is to play on an extended server (with no events and such) with all races enabled from roundstart, with invited friends only, so we can practise and experiment to our hearts content, without any griefers and such that usually plague the servers. I have a really hard time finding extended servers for any code...

Can anyone help me with this?

Open the byond hub
Scroll all the way to the bottom
Click join on the server all the way at the bottom.

problem solved

I tried inviting my friend while i am on my server, with evolve set up, but they couldnt join...

just code in a ckey whitelist, can't be that hard

A step by step instruction would be apreciated...

nah I'm too lazy eh

So yer not too lazy to make 2 posts, and in such a way that it seems ya know how tis done, but yer too lazy to actually share the knowledge? Seems to me you just want to look smart, but with no proof to back it up.

Uh friend. You shouldn't talk shit while you can't understand that once you're in an evolve party you connect to the corresponding internal ip of who's hosting it in your evolve party.
Also. Don't sass Oranges.

He doesn't owe you a step by step or a solution for a problem that can be solved with 5 minutes or less of googling you absolute shit.

Well yer quite rude, and obviously didnt read... in case ya missed, i did google quite a bit, and found no answers, besides that it has been done (but not how it was done). I even ran into some post claiming they even hosted via drop-box! (but again with apsolutely no explanation how). I wouldnt have asked here if i was able to find answers via google!

Guys please, this dude very politely ahelped asking me this a while back and I turned him to our forums on the hopes that somebody would be happy to help him, let's not shit on each other

Just for you OP

Well i used the Alipheeses suggestion (i abandoned all hope for gettin any answers here) but aparently i had to combine it with another method (byond://localhost:port) where localhost was my evolve IP and port would be the one dream daemon is using, anythin else i tried didnt work at all. (this was done before i saw oranges response today). Might give it a go with oranges suggestion if i'm in the mood to tinker again. (altho oranges suggestion is for allowing chosen people only, not an aswer to my problem with hosting via LAN it seems)

if it took you that fucking long to figure it out (which is how it works on evolve as I use it sometimes) you must be either young as fuck ~12 or just fucking stupid.

I misread your original question, but you called me out so I had to code the whitelist

well aint ya the rude one full of presumptions! I'm just used to older more direct and simpler programs, computers arent my field, i'm too fuckin old to be 12, and i certanly aint stupid, just cause it took me a while to figure out somethin i never done before. Ya could cut down yer ego by some notches a bit. I came here, cause i was directed by an admin, to ask a question that puzzled me and bunch of my friends; in hopes i could get a short, direct, step by step instruction/answer; and maybe my thread to be used as an example for anyone asking in the future!

Instead its like i walked in a cage with shit-flinging monkeys, where each monkey pretends its the best at a pissing contest. You all who pretend to know or even have read my question, and ya pretend to be better/smarter; why didnt ya prove your worth? In fact instead of shutting the fuck up, or at least providing the answer, ya continue the shit-flinging, which seems is the only thing some of you are capable of.

Well i learned my lesson, not gonna bother with the forums here, since they seem to be infested with mentioned monkeys, and there are simply too few who would at least read what is written. (honor to the exceptions)

Youll fit right in here along side John Oxford and Fantasticfwoosh.
I literally gave you all the information you needed.
Do you literally need a video of it for gods sake?
I know what i told you was 100% accurate as i was using evolve last night.

What ya said was partial info ya just said players should connect to hosts evolve IP... which is basically 1/3rd of the information i needed.

Open evolve. Login. Add friends name on evolve to friends list. Either make a party or have a friend make one and invite you. (Doesn't matter who fucking starts it). Once your both in a party wait for an ip to be given to you both/all. Start up the server. They enter the ip address that evolve gave them in the party window to join. Youre in. I had a good nap and good dream. Enjoy.

it's important to remember, in order to control a cage of shit flinging monkeys, you must become a shit flinging gorilla and proceed to fling shit harder and chimp out harder than the other monkeys that way they know your the boss
