It's almost embarrassing to say this but at this time, there is no documentation that explains how to install a server using the latest code. It requires using a cvs client and java compiler. It is not particularly simple.

Unfortunately, writing such a guide is fairly large task in and of itself, so I will not be doing it in this post. I am merely informing you of the current documentation situation (i.e. there is none other than the comments in the source).
 
Well I just have one question. For some reason I am the only one who can join my server but when anyone else try they get "Error: Connection Timed Out"message any tips?
 
it says that for me when i try to get on my server, im thinking i have the wrong port.

what i need help with i found out is host and port, the host is my IP, start run cmd ipconfig right? then how do i find the port? i workin port to use for my server? its pretty hard.
 
You should have chosen the port yourself when (/if) you set up the server. You'll find that info in the server.properties file in the Shoddy Server folder you downloaded.
 
makes more sense, thx

Ok my new question, how do you put pictures in the server welcome message?

and when you do portforward, what prgram do i select?

You can use HTML in the welcome message to get pictures.

I don't understand the second question.

You shouldn't need to select a specific program. Go into your router configuration settings and find the screen called Virtual Servers (or similar). You need to set the IP address of your computer (ipconfig at a command prompt), use tcp and udp protocols and set the lan port and public port to whatever port you're running your server on.

To insert images into your welcome screen just copy and paste the following html code:

Code:
<img src="[B]http://url/to/your/image.jpg[/B]" alt="" />
