Please help. thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 3948 Posted April 27, 2011 Hosting your own missions all you need to do is go to mp, then start a new server, pick the island, and then the mission, set the pw if you need it and your done, is that what you had in mind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjdeany 10 Posted April 27, 2011 Yes but on previous games where i've done that people could not connect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 3948 Posted April 27, 2011 Ok, when hosting make sure when hosting a mission that requires addons, or files, or even patch that the person/s connecting have the same files as you, or it aint going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mosh 0 Posted April 27, 2011 If you do need to open ports, not sure if you do or not for hosting, here's the info... By default the Armed Assault server is reporting to Gamespy and it also uses the Gamespy server to negotiate a NAT traversal. If this does not work reliably for you (e.g. when running behind very strict firewall), you may need to open and/or forward following incoming ports: port UDP (used for game) port+1 UDP (used for server reporting) port+3 UDP (used for VoN transmissions) Following outgoing ports need to be open as well: port UDP (used for game) port+3 UDP (used for VoN transmissions) Default value of port is 2302, but you may change it by -port command line argument. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Dedicated_Server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
