{support} setting up an server, only in an diferent way then usual..

Hello Technical people of the help forums

ive browsed the forums trying to find an way to set up an MC server, but there is one catch!
this server is not ment for online gameplay! it is ment for LAN party's,

so here are the detai's

- internet is out of the question, an personal netword is created (by me)

- the network i set up is an wireless network

now to the questions:

- how do i set up this server? is there any significant diference between an online based server which is host from my pc or an offline server which is hosted throu an local area network?

- is this actualy posible at all?

things i understand (or think i do)

from all mods i have, i would need the server files in order for them to work on an server (doh?)

i hope this all makes sence to you all, i would like to do this becouse i am currently on an seagoing vessel, together with the crew we want to do some lan party's of different games, and i suggested (MINECRAFT (heavily modded))

hmm so if i get it correct:

the server set up is all the same of an normal one,

the exeption to the rule is, that instead of using the paid version of the launcher i would need an free one in order to give to my fellow crew members? (and myself)
and set the server to offline? how do i do that?

also, thx for the quick reply.

alright!

thats all the info i needed, thx an lot.

if i run into any isue's il post them here
