Anyone know how to host a SimplePlanes server?

    @DandruffCat open the terminal and navigate to the directory that SPServer.exe is saved in (using the command cd [example/downloads], for example, where "[example/downloads]" is the directory that SPServer.exe is in) (or open it there to begin with, if you can... I don't know OSX), and then type mono SPServer.exe in the terminal, and enter the command.

    @HellFireKoder My bad...I'm not all that familiar with apple...anyhow...what do you think about my raspberry pi idea?? I will definitely do it when I have some free time.

    @FlipposMC you can DEFINITELY install the mono runtime on OSX (10.7 and later)... the link I gave was specifically for OSX.
    The question is if it will actually work correctly... I'd say it's worth a shot...

    @DandruffCat .exe files are WINDOWS ONLY . As @HellFireKoder mentioned you could in theory try to install the mono runtime however I do not think that is an option with macs. If you really desperately want to make a server for cheap and you don't have windows try...a raspberry pi 3. Despite it's funny name it is a really capable tiny computer that runs a form of linux and thanks to its diversity can also be customized to run .exe files...albeit with alot of work arounds. If you're not that computer savvy then this wouldn't be an option. However I really want to do the said things above (I already experimented with VM). If I do it I will definitely upload feedback and a tutorial...I just need some free time and a raspberry pi.

    @DandruffCat .exe file is an executable for Windows operating systems -_-

    You might be able to install the mono runtime, and then from the terminal mono SPServer.exe, but I'm not sure if that works on Mac, I just know it worked on my Linux Virtual Machine.

    So, here's the info I was able to gain through a little research. That's not it. That's not the file. It should be a single .exe file.
    I suggest downloading it again, and pay very close attention to where you save it, and what it's name is.

    It seems to be opened in a program called "The Unarchiver" which leads me to believe it's compressed (Zipped).
    It needs to be un compressed. Then I would read the Readme.

    All it's supposed to do is open a small black dialog box with some info in it.
    It doesn't do anything at all?
