HI everyone, I am new here, however I been reading all public documentation available to create a dedicated server of sm64coopdx, I even compiled from source with HEADLESS=1

I am starting the server with this start.sh:

./sm64coopdx --headless --playername "GamerX" --coopnet "" --password "my-secret-but-shared-password-among-friends" --playercount 16 --console

Everything runs well on the console, no errors,

However is not findable on private lobby lookup or direct connection using even localhost on the same machine.

Can somebody point me out to the right direction here to make it work properly?

Thank you!

UPDATE 1.1:

I was able to past this issue today after a deep research and watching a youtube video, Now I am just over the issue of how to host multiple instances with different configurations and mods enable over the same private tag.

--password doesn't exist. --coopnet PASSWORD is what makes it into a private lobby.


If you want multiple instances, just chance the config name by using --configfile sm64config1.txt, which will use a new configfile named sm64config1.txt
