Hi! You can start a singleplayer game and it will start a server internally and people can connect to you (if you want to play via internet you should forward the tcp and udp ports 24000 to your computer). But this server will be closed as soon as you quit the game. If you want to start a dedicated server that continues running after everybody quit, you have to start the server from the command line or write a batch script that starts it, as you need to set some command line options: --datapath here you have to specify the path where the server will save the galaxy --admin Specify the admin nickname for the server If you have your game installed in the default folder, the final command would look something like "C:\Program Files\Avorion\bin\SpaceServer.exe" --datapath "C:\MyAwesomeGalaxy" --admin GrammarCzar This will create the folder C:\MyAwesomeGalaxy and the galaxy will be saved there. Side notes: Server admin does nothing until now though, it will be used in later releases, but must be specified nevertheless. Just like the clients, the server runs on windows only for now. More server administration (limited number of players, moderators etc.) features are the next thing I will implement. I guess an article in the wiki could be of use here, too. Edit: Corrected the command.

Hello fellow forum users, I have discovered that a lot of users have registered here using suspicious looking mail addresses and websites in their account, but not posted anything. Now, to prove that you're not a bot, please simply post a short message in here: "I am here, I am a human being." Every account that has not posted anything until June 1st will be deleted. I am sorry to take that drastic measures, and I hope you understand. Koonschi EDIT: This thread is no longer relevant.

Looks like spam. If it wasn't, send me a pn.

You found a bug? Ouch. I'll fix that as soon as possible. Before you post, you should do the following: Check if the problem is not yet answered in the FAQ Make sure in the forum that it has not been reported yet and that your version of the game is actually the latest version. Is it really a bug? Is it reproducable? Can you repeat the steps that led to the unwanted behaviour or crash? Use a separate thread for each bug. If all these factors are OK, you can post the bug on the board, including whether it was the server or the client that crashed. A Server Crash looks like this: Connection Closed: Some Error on your screen AvorionServer has stopped working A Client Crash looks like this: Avorion just closes Command windows pop up Avorion has stopped working Always include the following information in the report: A clear description of what happened. Step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the bug. Your client and server log. Follow the instructions below on where to find them on your system. Your system specs: Operating System CPU GPU (if multiple GPUs, then all of them) How to find your logs: On Windows, you will find them in your %appdata%\AvorionDemo\ folder. Type %appdata% in your windows explorer's address bar to get there. On Linux, you will find them in your ~/.avoriondemo folder. The logs for the client are called clientlog XXXX.txt and the logs for the server are in the AvorionDemo\galaxies\[your galaxy name here]\ folder. They're called server XXXX.txt. XXXX is the timestamp of when you started that server. Look at the timestap, take the one where your game crashed or where you had trouble, and post it. How to add your logs if they are too big for the forum: Please post the contents of the logs on pastebin.com. Then add the link to your post. Try to create a new pastepin paste for each log file. The more information you post in here, the easier you make it for us to fix those bugs! I know bugs and crashes are annoying, but we're doing our best to keep up with your reports. It might not always be possible to fix everything at once, but we're doing the very best we can.

This is the general discussion forum. Everything related to Avorion can be posted here and will be read by the devs as well. Make sure that the topic you're about to post is not better off in another part of the forum. Have fun! Koonschi
