Starting a LAN Server

So uh... how exactly do I do that? I'm confused on how the server actually works since it's just a window, doesn't really give me any info.

Developer

If you run it by double clicking, then you only see a mini window.

This means that the server is running, and you can connect to it. To save game data and stop the server - simply close the server window.

If you want to have more control over the server - then you need to run it from the command line.

Example:

java -jar d:\tachyon\server\TachyonServer.jar

You can connect to your own server with either of these:

  1. localhost
  2. local ip
  3. 127.0.0.1
  4. public ip
If for some reason you can't connect with them, then either you haven't started the server, or perhaps the TCP/UDP ports are blocked.

Used ports are:

TCP 30303

UDP 30304


Also if you start the server with a console, then you can even see when someone connects to it.

Whenever there's a new connection to the server - it shows this in the console logs.
