Wobbley 10 Posted April 28, 2011 Hey I am having some issues setting up the A2:OA server. Some of the members in our community started playing the game and wondered if i could set a server up on the linux box. I followed the instruction in the A2OA Linux Server beta 1.59.79548 thread, but I assume I also need the game or some kind of game files? When i tried doing ./server I got loads of errors. Errors I got if it matters (some of them as i did not output to text file and only had terminal) Cannot register string STR_CONTROLLER_SENSITIVITY_MEDIUM - global stringtable no t found Cannot register string STR_CONTROLLER_SENSITIVITY_HIGH -

killswitch 19 Posted April 29, 2011 HeyI am having some issues setting up the A2:OA server.

I followed the instruction in the A2OA Linux Server beta 1.59.79548 thread, but I assume I also need the game or some kind of game files? Yes. The instructions in that thread tell you to copy the game files to your Linux server. (it's step #2). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobbley 10 Posted April 29, 2011 My point is I do not own the game in any way, I simply wish to host it for a group of friends. Oh well I guess I can get it if Steam still has a discount. Thanks for the help though :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defunkt 431 Posted April 29, 2011 Just be aware that once you've downloaded and installed off Steam you'll need to up your entire game directory to the server from your own drive so quite a few gig each way. Also be aware that most people are running (and a lot of content will require) CO (Combined Operations) which is OA installed over A2 and run with OA binaries.

killswitch 19 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) My point is I do not own the game in any way, I simply wish to host it for a group of friends. Oh well I guess I can get it if Steam still has a discount. Thanks for the help though :)Here's a tip: the Linux server will need the Addons, Common, Expansion and Dta folders from a Windows installation of ArmA II:Combined Ops. In particular, one does not need and should not upload any of the DLC mod folders. (BAF, PMC). Edited April 29, 2011 by Killswitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defunkt 431 Posted April 29, 2011 Strictly speaking you don't need Common for a CO server, just the BAF/PMC Lite bits (*_baf.*, *_pmc.*) uploaded into /addons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobbley 10 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) So if i need to understand you correctly in my server folder should contain these files before i start setting up with ./install unzip etc. the server trg.bz2 file OA folder with Addons, Common, Expansion and Dta folders CO folder with Addons, Common, Expansion and Dta folders Will I need anything else? You have to understand I know nothing about the arma series or how it's addon expansions were made. I am merely doing this for some friends. I got the games though :D Edited April 29, 2011 by Wobbley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wobbley 10 Posted May 1, 2011 I finally got some time to mess with Arma II servers today, and it's doing my head in. It says the server is running and it reports no erros anywhere, yet the server is not up :S I run an Ubuntu server and this is what i do after everything is installed and I run it: Terminal: dean@RoIServer:~/a2server$ ./arma2oaserver start Starting ArmA 2 server... dean@RoIServer:~/a2server$ nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout ./arma2oaserver status Server should be running...

Defunkt 431 Posted May 2, 2011 Does it show in the process list (ps aux)? Have you checked ${ARMA_DIR}/log.${PORT}.txt for errors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobbley 10 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Thanks for that one Defunkt :) I got the server file to run but getting the same error as before now where I am missing tons of files. I am going to play around with it a bit and see how the hierarchy has to be. I don't understand why i am having such a hard figuring this out as this is not the first server I set up, granted it is the first Arma server. I decided to drop trying to get OA running, and just see if i can get the base Arma II going. EDIT: Well I got the Arma II server going on the first go without issues >.> Let's see if I can get OA going Edited May 2, 2011 by Wobbley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S0mebody 10 Posted May 2, 2011 Two things I found helped with running on Linux: 1. run the tolower.sh script after uploading missions etc. 2. convert all mission/file references in config files to lower case too, *nix can be a bit semantic like that.

Atkins 10 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) I'll just ask this in here; How do I enable mods in Linux? According to this: http://www.apollon-domain.co.uk/?p=221 I have to put in the arma2oaserver file a line: MOD=@cba\;@i44co But it did not load I44 :( I as well tried MOD=expansion\;ca\;@cba\;@i44co I am running the server from OA folder where I just copied all A2 content... Solved with: OTHERPARAMS="-mod=expansion\;ca\;@cba\;@i44co -cpucount=1" Edited May 5, 2011 by Atkins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vixente 10 Posted May 5, 2011 I had some issues with the script so i decided not to use it and create my little one. I call the binary directly with the parameters. But the mods i found that it only seems to work separating each one... Like this ... -mod=@cba -mod=@ace -mod=@acex ... and so on... I'll just ask this in here;How do I enable mods in Linux? ...
