    On what platform are you going to run it? Windows? Linux?
    Do you have a server or are using your own pc?

    Did you see this thread yet?
    It is just above your own topic at the moment ;)
    When you have done all that you also have to open te port on your router/firewall

    It means to run the file - if it's asking you to make it executable, then you'll need to give it permissions to run (this shouldn't be a problem on windows) it should be as easy as double clicking on the file.

    Open up the dedicatedserver.bat with notepad and on a line below everything type "pause" without the quotation marks. So it would look something like this:

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    echo "Running KAG"
    cd "$(dirname $0)"
    mv KAG.tmp KAG
    chmod +x KAG
    ./KAG autostart Scripts/autostart.as autoconfig ../autoconfig.cfg
    pause
    Yours will have different commands as it'll be windows, not Linux, but should still look something similar.

    Anyways, once you've saved it with pause, you can now run the file again as you did the first time, this time it should leave the black screen (command prompt) on your screen. If you could post your output up here, we can work our way from there - Most common problem is that you're missing a file/config somewhere, or it's incorrectly configured (my guess is you didn't read the wiki and you just double clicked the file without setting up the server)

    ok, when i launch it, it says password to a server and ip and port?
    i wrote it in the connect to button, but it says the server isnt running...and yes, i probably did do something wrong as the wiki told me

    Windows Install


    1. First, download the server: http://kag2d.com/en/download
    2. Next, decompress the archive. This can be done with many different programs, including PeaZip.
    3. Open the folder the archive was extracted into.
    4. Run your server by executing dedicatedserver.bat.

    this is in the server derectory in the wiki

    It's a zip file, containing the game - You don't need to download this file, as you already have the game.

    I need a copy of the error your getting, so that I can work out where your problem lies. Please do the following:


    - Run the batch file
    - When the screen has errored out and paused on your screen, take a screenshot or copy and paste ALL of the text and post it here, using the code tag.

    Whatever way works for you, I just need to know what it says - No paraphrasing, exact error message - Hell write it out on a notepad and then retype it here.

     
  20. If you're having trouble with printscreening, open up Paint and press Ctrl + V. this puts the image into the program for you.
