This makes it so random people can't use admin commands.įind "anonymousConnectionsAreAdmin". Open nfig in Notepad++ or Wordpadįind "allowAdminCommandsFromAnyone". Part 2: Whitelisting Users and Creating Admins Note: nnectionAddress just saves whatever IP you type in the IP address box when joining a multiplayer server, so ignore it. "nnectionString" : "(put it here, no brackets) ", Note: To avoid the "Fatal Exception caught: (IOException) Rename error: 3" error, place this line under "serverName" : "A Starbound Server", Open "nfig" in Notepad++, Sublime Text, or possibly even Wordpad (though I highly recommend one of the first two)įind the following in nfig: nnectionString (If it's not there, add it.) This will make Starbound create the config file. ( Note: If you don't see nfig, pop into Starbound and change your zoom level in the options. You should see a bunch of files, like this.
I'll try that out and see if it works.Right-click "Starbound" in your Steam library (Or "Starbound - Unstable" if you're using Unstable or Nightly) If all else fails, have someone host one for you or pay monthly for a server if you don't wish to join a random public server. I'd recommend option one or two over this though. It acts like option one, but spoofing a LAN network. Three, Hamachi/Tunngle/Etc - Similar to lan, but requires a program to spoof the LAN network online. This IP is not the same as the external public ip.) (If playing on the same machine the server is on, then use 127.0.0.1)
Just start server, and use the internal IP (Can be found on the router. Two, LAN - Multiple people on same network.
Then just use the server software included with the game, have your friend connect to your external IP. You'll need to find a guide for your router specifically to open ports. Originally posted by Savina Lockchester:Two ways, but both are similar at some points.
