Shipwreck Kelly 10 Posted August 23, 2010 Ok I'll give it a go. I don't really think it's your program I just thought I may have missed something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shipwreck Kelly 10 Posted August 24, 2010 I tried in game with no luck either using several missions. I also had no luck with your program in ARMA2 even when all had the mission in the MPMissions folder on there machine. It just sat there "waiting for host" which was "reading the mission". I do like the way it works in OA which is flawless as far as I can tell. Maybe it's just me. I'll wait for the next version and try it again I guess. Thanks for your help.

Birdseye 0 Posted August 29, 2010 This program makes it really easy to setup a server, and works like a charm. Thank you! Your future plans sounds also very interesting, like a realtime rpt checker. Since you asked for ideas in the op, a few suggestions came to mind, * a counter if a line gets repeated in rpt. So, only see 1 line max with a counter, and no duplicates. This way you see in a glance the problems * a option to pin the rpt live window on the desktop (foreground) * a option to clear rpt after x starts automaticly * a way to change the order of the addons which are loaded. And finally, but important? an expansion of the tab missions. Don't know how exactly it should look, but a way to set a 10-50 parameter names and values for each mission.

I'm thinking of adding some export options so you can generate the config files and use in Linux. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcat_ 0 Posted September 10, 2010 This is an excellent tool that makes life easier for server admins...thanks a lot... just a bug that i came across. When i adjust the enemy skill and the enemy precision on the difficulties, on the actual file it replicates the value of the skill into the precision as well. In other words although in the tool the skill and precision are different values, on the actual file the value is the same as the skill. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When i adjust the enemy skill and the enemy precision on the difficulties, on the actual file it replicates the value of the skill into the precision as well. In other words although in the tool the skill and precision are different values, on the actual file the value is the same as the skill. thanks I've found that also, and editing the values won't work since it will get back once you start the server.. To the author: Could you please take a look at that? A good thing is to play with high enemy skill but lower precision, for bigger firefights, but that can't be done.. Tyvm :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArmaholicBR 10 Posted September 26, 2010 To the author: Are you going to continue updating this tool? I've also noticed that there's no option for equalmodrequired parameter, which is important for servers with custom files that locks the servers when someone without mods required try to join the server. Please continue supporting this awesome product! Tyvm..:cheers: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tophe 69 Posted September 28, 2010 Thanks guys for your input.... I'm a bit caught up with life at the moment. Haven't even got time to play the darn game! I miss it! But I will absolutely continue to update the Tool. As soon as a get a few hours to spare I'll fix the skills bug. Thanks for pointing that out, and thank you for using the tool. It was my first real coding project - spent some rainy vacation weeks on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bushlurker 46 Posted October 13, 2010 Hi Tophe! Just thought I'd drop by and say thanks for this great little tool! I've just got around to setting up my little home server with DVD A2 and Steam OA +BAF... a tricky combination... got it working though - and everything else was a breeze... A couple of small points... I'm not sure whether its still a valid command, but I believe it used to be possible to bypass voting entirely by setting "voteThreshold=1.5"... I'll search around and see if I can find out if this still applies - if so, it'd be nice to be able to enter that value... A picky point at best... The other is more of maybe a future enhancement suggestion... It might occasionally be handy to be able to dictate what order selected mods launch in - maybe by just being able to rearrange the detected/added modfolder list in some way - and having that order be reflected in the launch command line? Just an idea... Otherwise - delighted to have found this by accident - just when I needed it too! Brilliant! Cheers B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mac_Spliff=ISK= 10 Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Yip Great tool, Good job!!! Just that litle problem with the @MOD's Order, some mods need to be loaded first so others can activate some features on other mods that must be loaded first or else it wont find the needed data and wil report all kind of files missing, but they actualy are not loaded in the good order..... Thanks.... For the rest...? Nothing to say...good stuff.... I know it's not easy for the Newbie's that want to start the adventure with playing Mod's on ArmA 2 , this make's it easy! this take's away the fear on doing something wrong while typing the string needed to start the server rite with the good Mod's And Map's....thanks....

stk2008 14 Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Hi thanks so much for this. I have tried doing a dedi server the hard way and tbh I am thick and couldn't grasp it. I am hoping I can get it to work this way I want to create a server with ACE2 mod and using the latest beta`s. P.S I have asked in the MP thread but may as well ask here to. I am creating a dedi server on me main game rig and I all so for now want to connect to the server from the same machine using same DVD key. Will it be ok or kick in FADE. Its not for ever I am only doing it this way till I get a working server and can then install in on a diff PC. Thanks and great app. EDIT Ok I just thought bugger it and tried to connect and I see it in the server list and I press connect I eneter password then thats it all I get is wait for host :( please advise what do I do?.

tophe 69 Posted November 1, 2010 Thanks friends. Will have a look at the vote threshold, mod order and skill bugs when I get the time. It will probably not be before Christmas I'm afraid. Life is busy at the moment. @skt2008: You probably haven't put any mission in the cycle list. When it says "waiting for host", just try login in as admin (#login adminpassword).

Rawhide 2 Posted November 17, 2010 Great tool Tophe, we like it a lot! One question though. Would it be possible to autostart the dediserver with this tool, with a default profile, on Windows startup? It might be covered by the "start as service"-update though, but I don't really know what that means. Thanks a lot for your effort in building this great tool!

I'll look into it in the future. A startup option and a server restart option might be a good solution for crashing servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
