(if it doesn't work for you, right click and chose Save link as...)

 

===============================================



1 MINUTE HOW-TO QUICK GUIDE

 

TADST v3.1.0
The Armed Assault series allows an amazing array of settings to freely customize dedicated servers.
This means you will have to edit quite a few config files to get it running the way you like.

TADST is a tool that will greatly simplify this. All you need to do is to choose the settings you like. Then the application will
create all necessary files according to your settings and start the server with the appropriate arguments.

All necessary files will be created in a folder called 'TADST'.
You can save different profiles to easily switch between server setups.

In the folder TADST a new folder for each profile will be created.
This folder contains all files associated to the profile.




INSTALLATION
=============
Copy the file 'TADST.exe' to your Arma game folder.

* Note that it's important that the file is in the game root folder
i.e. C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3

* If you are upgrading from an earlier version of TADST you should delete
your old TADST folder so the program can create new settings files.

You also need to have .NET installed.
 

 

QUICK START
=============

  • Set up your firewall.
    To run a dedicated server you must make sure you have set port forwarding correctly in your firewall/router.
    Normally you need the ports 2302-2305 to be open. Click the port info button to get info on your selected ports.
  • Set Server Name and Server File
    TADST is set to start the server with default settings so the only two things you need to set to get a server up and running is Server Name and Server File.
    If you double click the text fields, TADST will try and set appropriate values.

 

 

 

 

FUTURE PLANS
=============

  • Options for allowedFileExtensions, allowedPreprocessFileExtensions, allowedHTMLLoadExtensions, allowedHTMLLoadURIs
  • Options to launch headless clients
  • Steam server update thingy
  • Individual difficulty settings on missions
  • System for setting Mission Parameters.
  • Start as service.
  • Process monitoring, restart server on crash.
  • Remote server/client protocol (probably wont't happen, but hey)

 

SUPPORT TADST
==================
I'm doing this for fun and for love to the community, but if you like TADST you can support me by donating some coffee-money.
You can also follow my music project Meadows on facebook. That would make me equally happy!

Thx mate.

It will come in a future version. For now you'll just have to type the mods in the mods textbox.

Right now I'm working on the feature to use several profiles, so you can save and load many different server setups.

I'll fix the mods after that.

That's strange... I don't think there's any problem in the program. I've tried it on a few computers with .NET 4 on it and it works with no problem. Have you restarted your computer afterwards?

Ok. It seems like you had some incomplete TA2DST configfiles before starting up.

Try this...

* Make sure the TA2DST.exe is put directly in your ArmA2 folder.

* Delete any folder named 'TA2DST' from ArmA2 game folder.

* Restart TA2DST.

It should now generate all settings you need.

I will try to make a catch for that error.

This is invaluable for me, thank you!

Hey Tophe,

I have a error aswell. And a cople questions.

I have put your program and the ARMA2 dedicated server file V.107 in the Arrowhead folder. I did that because i want to start up a Arrowhead/combined ops server.

I alway's receive this error: no entry '.profilepathdefault'

I'm using the steam version of ARMA2 and OA.

Is it possible to run your program with the steam version of OA and run combined Operations. The normal ARMA2 dedicated server works with your program under steam. But the OA seems not to.

I'm totally new to this and i can't seem to get it to work for OA combined ops.

EDIT: I also tried to run it with this command in the mod line: -profiles=profiles. But it doesn't seem to work also.

EDIT: I also tried to run it with this command in the mod line: -profiles=profiles. But it doesn't seem to work also.

It seems like there is some problems with your server set up rather than the tool. The server don't seem to find all files needed.

First of all, to start OA with Combined Ops content it will not be enough to just put the Server File in the folder of OA.

You'll need to have both games installed as a unit (ArmA2:CO with Arrowhead as a expansion).

TA2DST should work fine with Steam versions of both games if they are correctly installed.

Also the mod line is only for mods, not startup arguments. All available startup arguments (-profile -netlog etc.) are setup by the Tool.

To solve the problem I suggest you first try to get the dedicated servers up and running without TA2DST.

Just to make sure it's not the config files messing it up.

But as I said the problem is probably that you haven't installed ArmA2 and Arrowhead as one integrated unit.

* Make sure the TA2DST.exe is put directly in your ArmA2 folder.

* Delete any folder named 'TA2DST' from ArmA2 game folder.

* Restart TA2DST.

It should now generate all settings you need.

I will try to make a catch for that error.

This is invaluable for me, thank you!

Yea once I launched a server the issue is gone, starts normally now, working great.

Thx Wastelander.

That's the same problem as Trauma had.

Could you try something out for me?

Delete the TA2DST folder in your ArmA2 folder and then start TA2DST again and see if you get the same problem. If you do... do you think you could go through the trouble and email me your TA2DST.save file?

The problem is that the save file somehow comes up with an invalid value for one of the controls.

That is not supposed to be able to happen so probably the save file is wrongly populated in the beginning.

Thank you for your error reports! This is great!

The problem is i can't run it as 1 integrated unit cause cause its steam version. So i probably have to copy the whole AMRMA2 folder into the OA folder and run ARMA2 as a Mod.

And what can there be wrong in the config? Cause i run the exact same settings as when my server file is located in the ARMA2 only folder. Than it just happely starts.

Also when i try resetting the diffeculty settings i get a error:

Well, when you run them both it is not ArmA2 that is run as a mod, it's OA.

So Operation Arrowhead goes into the ArmA2 folder.

You'll have to read around at the forums to find out how to properly combine the two. It's a bit complicated.

When installing Arrowhead as an expansion to an existing ArmA2 installation... You will run the Arrowhead exe files from the ArmA2 folder, with Arrowhead as sort of a mod.

Trying to start the ArmA2 dedicated server from AO standalone folder just by copying the ArmA2 1.07 sever file would not work, since it is dependent on all the ArmA2 files.

The problem with deleting the folder... I have no idea. Probably your windows have some processes running that holds it up.

If you have tried starting servers with faulty settings they might be running in the background.

I suggest you do this:

* Restart the computer.

* Try to start a ArmA2:Combined Ops dedicated serer in the ArmA2 folder, manually. Not using TA2DST.

* Then you try to start a Arrowhead standalone dedicated server, manually, the same way.

* If you can get both servers running then try to starting ArmA2 server, from the ArmA2 only folder with TA2DST.

* Try starting the Arrowhead only server with TA2DST.

If you can get both servers running from their own standalone folder.

Look up in the forums how to correctly combine the two.

Also. Make sure that the TA2DST.exe is copied directly to the game folder and that there is NO folder called TA2DST in the game folder.

Thx Wastelander.

That's the same problem as Trauma had.

Could you try something out for me?

Delete the TA2DST folder in your ArmA2 folder and then start TA2DST again and see if you get the same problem. If you do... do you think you could go through the trouble and email me your TA2DST.save file?

The problem is that the save file somehow comes up with an invalid value for one of the controls.

That is not supposed to be able to happen so probably the save file is wrongly populated in the beginning.

Thank you for your error reports! This is great!

Servercontinued to startup and was able to use and did see others login to server?

Wastelander...

Sorry, I didn't quite get that..

Servercontinued to startup and was able to use and did see others login to server?

Did your server start up and other people logged in? Or was it a question?

I can't seem to recreate the problem.

EDIT.

That looks like the default TA2DST.save.

Will it still throw an error when you start up with that file?

Nice tool, but it seems to have one defect. I didnt find out how to run a beta version of the server through. Setting beta executable in main window leads to a mess. :confused:

It works now, i really dont know what went wrong before.

Thank you... All the configuration files are written on startup, so if you get into the program you'll be fine.

Could you please try and see if you get the same error of you delete the TA2DST folder and run the program again? That will be like running it the first time.

If you get the error could you please copy the info in TA2DST\default\TA2DST.save in this thread - BEFORE you start the server or save the settings.

That way I might get a look at the corrupted settings file.

I've written a catch for the error, that will give a proper message and the option to reset settings.

But I can't for the life of me understand why some people get the error, while others don't.

I can't recreate the error either.

Thank you guys for your reports!
