Sons of the Forest EASY dedicated server instructions.

[Mantase]

I have created easy instructions for setting up your own server on a second computer. I include a batch file which will download and install the server, as well as update it on every start.

It is really so bad that I added another guide? Do the other guides provide a batch file that will automatic download / run and update the server? Not everyone understands how to do these things.

@Jaunitta, if that is your video, Good job and way to actually contribute to helping the community.

Well, yeah, you are right if it's about the people who download the file and simply execute it with no further evaluation. But in fact the simple download of a batch file doesn't do anything and even before executing you can go right click -> edit to see its contents. No matter if you are able to read and understand the contents or even don't want to download anything from any non-safe place, you are right. Better stay safe and do neither download or execute stuff from untrusted sources.

I am also the opinion, even though difficult to do in this case, OP could have picked a "more safer place" to distribute files. Can you name one Ataxio and also provide some suggestions so OP can do better?

I am neither inclined nor motivated to assist in his endeavors.

I see what your doing tho and, let's just cut to the chase and remember the spirit of my postings.

Come on dude this person's only trying to help people out. There's no virus or malware involvement. You're casting a negative light on a positive thing. I think this is great that they took the time to do this for others who don't understand what to do to make it all simpler. I went through it all myself and there is nothing harmful in their guide or the batch file.

Some people are naturally good people. It's nice to be nice. Sharing is caring and giving is living! This is something the world needs a lot more of.

I most definitely will. Not everybody is our enemy. It's important to recognise and remember that.
