I've looked all ove! I'm sure its been everywhere else but I just can't seem to find it! Ok, I need an in-depth explanation of how to host a game live. I have the computer to host it on (my own) but how do I get the address to log on and stuff?!?
First, you have to make the game. Then, secondly you have to publish it to the hub. Third, of all you have to package it in DM. A good zipping program could be something such as: WinRar or anything else. Then, last of all upload it to a hosting program that offers a lot of space to upload you can try http://www.ripway.com if your game is small or just under the amount they let you. Then, put it in your hub entry form the download url and you can just download that to host. Then, when you make some updates all you have to do is upload it again, and just change the url and thats it.

Edit: Hey, I remember you, you ran into my traps near Red Base in Mlaas. >.<

DreamMaker zips anyway.

True..
In response to MasterLink2003 (#1)
Yeah, but how do you put it online so people can join? like run the game and have a connectiong for people to join.

Just click the host button in the bottom right of Dream Seeker. -_-
File -> Open File... -> select the .dmb file

Once the game is up and running. Click on the button that says 'Host...'. You'll get a pop-up fill in the information, and then the game is hosted.

To get your IP address, in DS just type $ping in the command line or go to http://www.whatismyip.com.

byond://YourIPHere:Port

YourIPHere = the IP we just fount
Port = the port you used when you was in the 'Host...' form.

the problem is whenever i try to host it Norton Antivirus calls it a worm so i can't host it correctly.
In response to Thyker (#7)
Disable it.
