make a server

[THE_ALEX]

hello, I have created a modpack with forge and wanted to open a server with that. how do I do? can someone explain it to me step by step directions that I find on the internet are not very clear!

• Extract your modpack to a new folder. We'll call that SERVER.
• Delete the SERVERbin folder.
• Delete any "client only" mods from the SERVERmods folder. You'll need to check the author's instructions to know (usually) which are client only, but for the most part anything that is drawing something on the screen (like HUDs, minimaps, damage indicators, etc.) that is NOT game content will need to go. If you get errors about "render" or "client" in your FML logs then you still have a client only mod installed.
• Install Forge with libraries into SERVER.
• Steal the startup batch file from TekkitMain or B-Team server and change it to point at your forge JAR file.
• Launch server.

ok thank you! we're almost there! but NEI is a client mod?

[THE_ALEX]

but where is the server.properties?

[plowmanplow]

NEI is kind of a client mod, but it has server features as well and can/should be left in the server.

 

The server.properties gets created when you launch the server for the first time.

sorry but dropbox no longer offers the public folder in the free version, I know indicate another service that allows me to publish my mod pack?

[plowmanplow]

copy.com works well for me. Simply register for a free account and upload whatever files you need. Share them and you will get a public URL. Add "?download=1" to that url (without quotes) and you have a publicly accessible direct download.

you are simply great! but I'm not and I still need your help. Why do not I hear the sound and music? I tried it on 3 computers and you do not hear in anyone.

I've heard of this problem (like my pun?) but never experienced it myself. This is not a server problem but something going on with your client.
