Host my own epoch server ?

[sircharlie 2]

Hey Everyone. 

 

Is it possible to host my own Epoch server from my house, as in not renting one. I love the mod and the ability to create a base. However I am not very good at designing them and need practice. Is it possible for me to make my own server, spawn in building supplies and make designs? 

 

I waste a lot of time on actual servers because my bases are so poorly done and get broken in to. 

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Can be done. Adding mods (admin menu) so that you may spawn in items will take some prior knowledge or a climb up a pretty steep learning curve.

 

Do you just want to practice building?

Yes I just want to practice building. Different designs until I can figure out the style which suits me best.

If you just want to build, you're welcome to use my Epoch server. I can spawn in a supply crate or 3 for you. No one on the server but myself and AI so far.

I was able to create the server and join it with decent fps. 

 

Then I went to install Admin tools using this video, where I followed step my step exactly what he did.

 

But, on DayzCommander, my server doesn't have a ping. The player count is grey and the ping is a red 0. 

 

Now I cannot join the server I created - I time out and have to disconnect. 

 

I have never hosted before or modified any game or files so I have no knowledge other than what I have "learned" from Youtube videos. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. 

 

Edit: I don't know if this explains anything but here it is:
