Your world.hub entry probably still isn't right. That would be the most likely reason for your game not to appear in Games Live! if FFO does.

Nope. According to your hub entry, BYOND is not capitalized in the entry name, so it should be "Canar.ByondHockey2on2". I believe the hub name is case-sensitive, so that would do it.

Ok, i noticed when i hosted your game, at the top it said Dream Seeker, thats why you cant host, so do this
world/hub = "Canar.BYONDHockey2on2"
also do you have
world
name = "Byond Hockey"

if you have 2 of those it causes that problem.
ill tell you now, it has somthing to do with the name, either 1 to many, or none at all.

when i tried it, i noticed i didn't have to download a new version... did you upload a new package with the hub entry fixed? Also, when you package the files, there's a field where you need to enter the same "key.hub_entry" text string that you set world/hub equal to.

only if they just changed this in the new byond version. I hosted Carcassonne successfully for a couple weeks before I realized I didn't set world/name. ;)

it still isnt working... here is my entire world code,
world
    name = "BYONDHockey"
    mob = /mob/char
    turf = /turf/ice
    view = 5
    hub = "Canar.ByondHockey2on2"

oh and the name thing doesnt do anything...

when i package the files am I supposed to click on the first option or the second option (executable world or online thingy)?
Mar 7 2002, 10:26 am
maybe its just me but in the older versions when I compiled it put the world file on my list of files. now it doesnt do that...

if you want someone else to be able to host a game, you should choose the first option.

If you upload a new version to the hub (package using option 1 so I can host), I'll give it another try if you want.

I already did.

ok, i tried it again, but i can't get it to show up on Byond.Live! either...

I wonder if it has anything to do with the space between ByondHockey and 2on2? If you haven't already, try as an experiment compiling with
world/hub = "Canar.ByondHockey 2on2"
and then hosting again.

I'm guessing this won't fix it, but it should be very quick to try.

I tried that already...
I know maybe I downloaded a faulty 314 version(lol somebody said that earlier...)
Mar 7 2002, 11:21 am
Can i ask a question,how exactly would i creat a goos icon without dificulty?

In response to saiyageneration02
you should really start a new thread, since your question does not relate to Canar's issue.

I'm just about out of suggestions I'm afraid... but 1 more:

after fixing the world/hub string, did you do a CLEAN compile?

again, I doubt it would matter, but easy to try.

In response to Dramstud
maybe it is a bug. because I made it completely with ver 314. I will report it and see what they say.
