melomel07 (github)HOW TO SETUP A TERRARIA SERVER USING PLAYIT AND TRUNIT ON WINDOWS
Requirements:
- Download XNA Framework
- Download original server files at bottom of https://terraria.org website page
- Download Trunit
- Download Playit (optional)
Procedure:
- Install the XNA Framework by clicking on the .msi program.
- Extract and open the server files provided by Terraria.
- Select the Windows folder.
- Drag and drop trunit.bat into there.
- Now you can delete start-server.bat if you want, Trunit will do it's job from now on.
- Open the trunit.bat program
- Write "run" to run the server and follow the instructions there: It can either create a new world to play in or choose an already existing one (worlds are located in Documents/My Games/Terraria).
- DONE! Now, whenever you want to start up your server, just use trunit.bat!
- You can change the server config file to fit your needs.
- If don't want your server to be LAN-only, get Playit. It gives you a custom server adress you can share with anyone anywhere on the world for free! Only the server needs to run the program, not every player! Download it and move the playit.exe program to your server's folder. Now whenever you run the server, Trunit will automatically run the Playit program as well. Btw, if it's your first time running Playit, follow it's instructions.
- Trunit is able to run your discord bot (python) and Playit in tandem with the server itself, so if you have one, just rename the .py file to dbot.py and add it to your server's folder. (Eg. "main.py" -> "dbot.py").
If you run into any problems just send me an Issue request on my Github page's "Issues" section and I'll try to help you out as fast as possible. This could mean you indirectly contributed to my program's code so It won't happen again to others, thank you!!
(IMPORTANT! - Trunit is NOT associated with Playit, go support them!)
