Can't. Have to run a server. Just run one locally, and hope no one enters.

If your just testing tilesets, any map editor shows you them.

Couldn't he just make it a private zone, like league or something, so that only those allowed(using a .txt file I presume) may enter? I've seen zones like that, but it was l o n g ago(I'm talking, Subspace days), so I don't know if the feature is still included in the cfg. Best thing to do would be to poke your nose around in your cfg(not changing anything you don't understand, of course

) using the template.sss to see if you can find something that sounds a bit like what I described. I think it's in there.... it's in there.

your answer was just as valid - probably moreso

just covering bases

You could always leave the IPs in the [Directory] part of your server.ini blank and manually enter your ip/port in your zone.dat file (Continuum client folder). I did that when I was just starting my zone.
