Run MTA server from PC?

[[XFK]Sina]

I heard you can run a server mta for free if you host it from your pc.

I really want to make my own DD server.

You probably think im some kinda noob, but i seriously don't know poop about servers.

So any help on how to make it?

cheers

Hi. Yes, you can run the server from your computer. What you need to do is get the server program (obviously. It comes with MTA when you install it.) and make sure you're open for internet connections. (Google "port forwarding")

After that, you can take a look at this guide: http://robhol.net/guide/basics

It deals mostly with scripting, but one of the earlier chapters deals with how the server works and how you get it running. You should read chapters 2 and 3 at least.

You should remember this, though: unless you have a super connection, gameplay will be laggy and horrible for most players. This is the reason why more serious servers are hosted professionally.

Sigh.. seriously, Race is old as fuck now, and it can't do anything that 1.0+ can't do, most likely better. Why are people sticking to race?

Most of the popular Race servers haven't migrated yet and it's their maps that keep players from migrating. Also, it's possible that there are people that just don't know about 1.0+ because they don't visit the site etc.

[XFK]Sina the Race mode available on 1.0+ includes DD too.
