Hello all,
I'm new to the community and have some questions. I love and hate (if you know what I mean) to play arround with modpacks and playing them with friends via lan. The way technic works is just amazing. real simple with launcher and all. But I still have some things I'm not happy with, with my current way of how we are playing.
Let me tell you how I have everything set up at the moment.
My friend(s) downloaded the launcher and modpack and they can play. When someone wants to play they have to ask me to start the lan world. I start up my game via the launcher and start the single player world and open it to lan. We use Hamachi to connect to each-other.
After that I have to look at what port the game is hosted on (displayed when opening to lan. example: 12345). Then I'm giving them my IPV4 adress from hamachi (example: 111.111.111.11)
Then I have to combine these to let them join my lan game ie. 111.111.111.11:12345.
So far this always worked but it's troublesome because, every time my game is closed and hosted anew, my port number changes.
I thought of setting up my world in a server and maybe even a dedicated server. is this also done with the technic launcher?
Problem is I don't really know how.
Also is it possible to make that port number static? if so that would help me for now.
I very much would like to know both.
-How to change port number in lan worlds to static?
-How to set up a server with a custom technic modpack
Thx in advance!
