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!
