Trying to use the webclient for my game currently, but it stays at this: http://puu.sh/iI8zb/1a5e5fb3b6.png

Currently using google chrome, latest version. Windows 7.
Hi Micdogmic,

If you are trying to connect to a server that is hosted on the same network, you may have to connect using the local IP address, which is different then the one generated by Dream Daemon.

If you are hosting and trying to connect to the server on the same machine, you can use the web address http://www.byond.com/play/embed/localhost:portnumber where portnumber is replaced by the port number in dream daemon.

If you are hosting and trying to connect to the server on two different machines on the same network, you will need to obtain the local IP address of the machine that is hosting the server (This will be the same IP address that was used in portforwarding). Then you can connect from the secondary machine using the format http://www.byond.com/play/embed/localIPaddress:portnumber where localIPaddress is replaced with the local IP address of the machine that is hosting the server, and portnumber is replaced with the port number from dream daemon.

For reference, the term Dream Daemon is interchangeable with hosting from Dream Seeker, there isn't a significant difference in this case.

Good luck!
Alright, thank you. A follow-up question though: I'm embedding my game onto my own personal website, does that make it not accessible for me?
If you use the play/embed URL format, it should work in an iframe on your site just fine.
Worked for a friend, but not me.
What browser are you using? If you use the local IP address (127.0.0.1, assuming you're hosting) instead of your external IP does it work then? If you have the JavaScript console open in your browser, what does it show?
I am using Google Chrome. Just tried 127.0.0.1 in the embed iframe, and that DID work. But, changed it back to the normal IP address, and it stopped working.
GET http://107.139.43.17:6510/play net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

^That is the error I get in my JavaScript console when I try to join it off of the normal IP (Not local)
It sounds like either you're having an issue with port forwarding (although it doesn't make sense that your friend could get in) or you have some kind of firewall or antivirus setting interfering.
My computer does not have a antivirus or firewall. It allows me to join the local IP (which I think is odd), but not the public one. Dream Daemon says my ports are open, and others can join.

I might just make a work-around function in js to show me a local-embed link instead. Not too efficient, but I'd like to play it in webclient as well.

I suspect that the local connection issue stems from a router configuration issue. I have a similar problem where my router chokes up and times out when attempting to connect to its external IP address (which began after getting a new router). I never found any information on how to correct the problem.

For now, using Javascript to give yourself a local link would most-likely be the simplest solution.
