| Summary | 0005271: Ability to specify ports used | ||||
| Description | Right now, you can only host one world on a server, and while that will probably be enough for most, some might want to host several worlds (for instance, once the game is released, you might want one server without beta updates and one with). In order to do so though, you'd need to be able to specify which ports to use. I can definitely see the whole "added complexity" argument, but that'd mostly go away by having the same standard port, and if nothing is changed in the settings or nothing is specified when connecting, that'd be the port to use, which means that if you're not specifically using it, you would never notice the options are there in the first place. | ||||

Did you look in the network tab? That should already be there. :) |

Ooh, so it is! It would probably be better for the client to have an additional textfield on connection where you can enter the port number, with the standard port already filled in (or under an advanced connection setting or something) so you don't have to enter the network settings tab to connect to a non-standard port, just to go back into those settings again in order to make another connection. For the server that's definitely adequate though (I assume it makes use of that port when you start it from the command-line as well?). |

Yep on the client interface needing to be better, and yep on the server using that setting from the command line. :) |
