Ok, obviously the title may be a little misleading, however I have a serious question that (I am assuming) is probably frequently asked in a knowledge base like this.
My question you ask?: "How do I make my frst RSPS?"
I know what I need to do mostly from the tutorials I have read.
-Download 7-Zip (Can't stand winzip)
-Port Forwarded (I think this has been done because edited my routers settings however I can't be sure because I can't get what I (had) working)
-Found a source (Well I would really rather not take someones work, so how could I go about doing this myself?)
-Downloaded No-IP (Yes I did, and registered my server ^.^)
Anyways I get the logistics of it. I have some knowledge in Java, I have done some Visual Basic, and have done (small) amounts of C++, so I get the basic structure of programming and could pick up more Java relatively fast (I think).
But could someone please tell me EVERYTHING else i need to do besides getting people to connect to my server by port forwarding, for example:
-How do I edit my servers code to make it so people can connect?
-How do I add customs? (I know how to do 3D rendering, I am a professional graphic designer)
-Where does any memory from the server get stored on my hard drive?
-How can I completely delete accounts off my database?
-How do I compile/decompile my server?
-How do I edit my server AFTER people are already connected?
-How much memory is needed for my server as a whole? (roughly)
On another note: I have a 1.5 terabyte external hard drive so memory here isn't an issue but I would like to know how much would be stored on my drive regardless
-Can spammers/hackers send viruses over my servers connection?
a. What dangers come with running a server?
I know it's a HEAPLOAD of questions but please! If you can answer these I will be forever grateful to you, and of course if I do get it up and running I can give you some items or something on my server if you decide to join (unless you don't accept bribes -.^)
~Thanks a ton, Angryfrodo
