World of Dragons build 298 Server Install on Windows

Today I install from scratch the World of Dragons 1.12.2 build 298 server pack on a fresh Windows VM of Windows 10 that doesn't even have Java on it and the security is set so high you answer yes to everything!

When i download theres no start.bat but theres a start.ps1. How am i supposed to open that file ?

[@Kreezxil]

windwos 10 and 11 have powershell. Also i don't recommend running a server on the same machine that you will be running a client. The server machine will likely be Linux so you will be running the .sh file. However, if you are indeed using windows as a server machine. Like I said windows 10 and 11 have support for powershell.
Therefore in your command box type
powershell start.ps1

[@Kreezxil]

You should be on powershell by default now tho, so the command box should be blue and not black to indicate you are in powershell. In which case if it is blue, then you would use
./start.ps1

If you download older version it is .bat, but If you download newer version it is .ps1

[@Kreezxil]

@@dusos888 while it is your right to play with the older versions, I do not have a way to update them to also use a .ps1 file.
As I have explained to others here, the .ps1 files will run in the command prompt box for Windows machines that are Windows 10 and higher. That said, you don't need the script for all you need to run the pack is this command:
java -jar .jar -Xmx8G
for example, if the forge server jar is called forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2860 then the above would be
java -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2860.jar -Xmx8G
which will pop up a little gui showing the server powering up. If you don't want the GUI, you can put nogui on the end of the line above, for example:
java -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2860.jar -Xmx8G nogui
However, I fully recommend using the .ps1 scripts to run your servers, as it handles a lot of headache for you.
And yes, unless you're on Windows 7 or Vista or some other end of life Microsoft product you do have PowerShell, which is what .ps1 is for.

Got the server setup mods added and everything just need to allocste more ram

[@icebeast9195]

How do we allocate a specific amount of ram

[@Kreezxil]

in the ARGS field of Start script (start.ps1 for windows, start.sh for linux), change that value to set the ram, you'll want -Xmx6G minimum for this pack.
