How to make a KAG server on a Mac tutorial - What worked for me

It took me forever to figure out how to run a KAG server on my mac so I figured I'd post a tutorial of how I did it so others can benefit. I'm not going to say this will work 100% with you but it should. I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. If you have any questions you can post them and I'll try and help you the best I can.

What you will need:
1. Portmap: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27342/port-map/
2. Trelawney's Dedicated OSX Server: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23114384/kag/osx_dedicated.zip
3. You will not need the Linux dedicated server

Part 1:
1. Make sure that KAG is in your applications folder. This should be default for most users
2. Make a copy of KAG by right clicking it and selecting "Duplicate"
3. Right click on the original KAG and select "Show Package Contents"
4. Follow the folders to the "Scripts" folder via Contents>MacOS>Base>Scripts
5. Open the "Scripts" folder and right click on the "dedicated_autoconfig.gm" file and open with textedit
6. Configure your server be sure not to miss the "sv_name" and "sv_info". Make sure the "sv_ip" is set to 0
7. Make sure the "sv_port" is equal to 50302. The default 50301 did not work for me
8. Save this file

Part 2:
1. Unzip Portmap and launch it
2. Open the following ports on both UDP and TCP:
i. 443
ii. 80
iii. 50301
iv. 50302
v. 50328
vi. 25565

All of these ports probably aren't necessary but it worked for me so that's what I'm suggesting. All the ports should have a green light. If they are yellow or red PM me or post in this thread and I might be able to help.

Part 3:
1. Unzip osx_dedicated and launch it
2. You should come to a point where it says "Make sure to edit dedicated_autoconfig.gm" and a copy of KAG launches. This is not an error or a freeze! This confused me a lot but this is what is supposed to happen.
3. Go back to your Applications folder and launch the Kag Copy not the original. You should see your server in the browser.

Again I am by no means an expert at this but I got it to work. If you have problems post in this thread and I'll try and help you the best I can. A sticky would be appreciated for future users.

 

Great guide! Will add this to the infinitely long list of stickies. Gonna have to smash those together soonishly.

i think you need update your KAG

 

I have already updated my KAG and what do you mean by update do you mean latest version?
i play on Kag the first one
