3dartist 69 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I have finally got my rig stable & fastest internet. To prevent people to join with ACE i have enable signature check on a server. Following addons are signature check allowed on a server: SERVER SUPPORTED addons! @CBA 0.7.0 up to 0.7.4.158 @J.S.R.S @ACE SM @EliasSound @VopSound @HiFi SFX @D3 Sounds @SAKU SUN&Light @TrueUser @PROPER @WarFX BC R1.2 =============================================== SERVER RIG: CPU: 2x Xeon E5620 3.2Ghz (overclocked) MOBO: EVGA Super Record 2 RAM: 48GB DDR3 1033MHz GPU: 2x GTX580 SLi A2 Hard drive: SSD W/R speeds = 550/500 MB/s PSU: 1500W Internet: D/U speeds = 120/10 Mbit/s =============================================== On 02.06.2011 i`m going to start my server(server info below): =============================================== Dedicated Server INFO: Server Name: EPIC WARFARE PVP / !! Arma2 + Arma2OA !! required Mission: EPIC Warfare Takistan v1.17 !MAXIMUM PVP action! REQUIRED: Arma 2 original + Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead are MUST HAVE BattleEye = ON Stable Server FPS = 46 IP:83.80.173.234 Port:2302 >Type in search word "EPIC" if you are unable to find it by IP and you`ll find server immediately! >IF you`ll have "connection failed" at first try , just try few times more. 99.9% of all people don`t have any problems with connection.

As more players will join as better it is. You are free to have your mods "ON". MISSION INFO: It`s going to be a Takistan PVP mission you`re still able to buy AI units and any types of vehicles. You`ll have enough money to buy yourself jets or what ever vehicles from the mission start =) Overall mission is better than Benny`s Warfare or Gossamer`s Warfare, it`s much more fun and minimum restrictions/limitations. Mission has been reworked towards HARDCORE SIM gamers but then with LOTS of FUN & less time consuming,this means you don`t have to play for 6 hours to get a rank to finally do stuff you wanted to do from beginning. You are not forced to go and capture towns before starting PVP battle, you`re free to do what ever you want & the way you want it to be done. Also please reply in this thread if your going to JOIN :) Please JOIN server and lets have some crazy PVP FUN!!! EPIC Warfare 1.34 x32 !MAXIMUM PVP ACTION! (With hotfixes!!) http://www.filesonic.com/file/1293257154/EPIC_Warfare_PvP_v1_34_x32_CO.Takistan.pbo HotFix: Most of you might have noticed that after purchasing (AAVP, LAV25, BTR90, Shilka, Tunguska) with commander, vehicles didn`t make any kill at all!They were nothing more than driving targets. Now they make alot of kills! Thats why i have removed the AI commander slot from UNITS MENU for following vehicles. -AI Commander removed from UNITS MENU for following vehicles: (AAVP, BTR90, Shilka, Tunguska, LAV25) -T90 upgrade moved from AA Upgrade to Tanks Upgrade Edited June 25, 2011 by 3DArtist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Good luck! I dont understand why you fitted the GPU's to it though, as a dedicated server doesnt use them. You would have been wiser to spend that money on a faster processor, ArmA is very CPU intensive Edited June 2, 2011 by Terox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently you haven't played either of our warfare missions because I've never been forced to play for 6 hours to start having fun. Everybody is free to PvP and not cap towns if they want in both of our versions. Plus saying you mission is "better" is purely opinion...

Grimfist 0 Posted June 3, 2011 That was really fun game, apart from a hacker but he was removed about 2 minuets in so nothing to worry about. but maybe use dooacs in future to stop them? was fun anyway being able to just fight with all the hardware from the start.

EDIT: 192.168.178.10 is a local IP address, no point in having it posted. I didn`t mean to hurt you,sorry :) Yep it`s mine opinion and opinion based on friends opinions. Gossamer`s mission is awesome and still it has way to many limitations. You guys did great job on it :) My apologies for "better", i respect you guys alot , because without you i could`ve never been able to mod it. That was really fun game, apart from a hacker but he was removed about 2 minuets in so nothing to worry about.but maybe use dooacs in future to stop them? was fun anyway being able to just fight with all the hardware from the start. Lol indeed it was very funny,in the beginning i had lots of problems to collect needed amount of people, but soon as i spoke to =XTRA= clan , everything was changed. Btw it was very funny to see up to 4 aircrafts standing in line to takeoff,pitty i had no fraps on :) Everything was running very smooth with 15 players,hope to reach higher amount today :) =====!Gonna START SERVER around same time as yesterday, maybe abit earlier!===== Europe(Germany/Netherlands): 18:00Russia(Moscow): 20:00USA(New York): 12:00 midday Mission IMPROVEMENT -Have improved AA missiles against AIR targets, based on yesterday game. -Also stingers and igla`s have faster and stabler lock now. -Price tags for Ka-52 / Apache and some advanced aircrafts has been lowered. -Mando Missile HUDS improvement -Have added extra notes in mission to explain how to play and how to use mando.

Mr. Charles 22 Posted June 4, 2011 @3D artist: With that amount of Ram, i'd consider putting the whole arma2 folder on a ramdisk. It would speed up server load times significantly. I'll check the server out tomorrow ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3dartist 69 Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Don`t know how to load full Arma 2 in ram, but i have Arma 2 installed on SSD 550 MB read speed and 500MB write speed. Btw this time we had with friends some interesting dogfights on aircrafts :) I see lots of players try to join without having A2 original , pitty they don`t have it , because for the money they need to pay they`ll get even more content than in Arma 2 OA Also pitty that BIS haven`t made lowres A2 content for "A2OA only" available (same as they did with BAF and PMC). Now Community got splited in 2 parts "A2CO" and "A2OA only". 1.12 Changelog -Once again mando improvements for ground units against air targets. -Death Zone borders have now longer countdown. From 15 seconds to 35 seconds. Player have to leave death zone within 35 seconds, otherwise get killed. Edited June 4, 2011 by 3DArtist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3dartist 69 Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Oh NOOOOOO , my server console just crashed after i decided to close steam. I do want to apologies for it to all 16 players on a server who have played. Sorry guys! My PC was barelly loaded on 25% (CPU`s 22%, RAM 9GB out of 48GB) After this crash i have also decided to install my Arma 2 directly into my RAM. So i have created 20GB RAM Disk and installing A2 on it right now. Server will be UP within hour. Edited June 4, 2011 by 3DArtist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3dartist 69 Posted June 5, 2011 We had some very crazy battles today :) The only problem was servers where not stable and crashed after a while. We`ve tried to find a problem , by running mission on other server we came into the same problem. After testing we found a problem , those extreme server fps drops happend on both servers. The issue was AI , which was spawning over whole map , after a while it just kept on spawning and caused server fps to drop extremely , in the end servers couldn`t handle amount of AI and server crashed. That`s why i decided immediately to fix it. Critical hot fixes v1.17: -AI trigger spawn range has been changed from 1300m to 700m -AI occupation in towns is lowered (30% less troops) -Militia strike have longer timeout -AI body removal after 150 seconds (was 180) -AI removal from inactive cities after 240 seconds (was 420 seconds) This latest version you can play on my server and probably on "XTRA" server.

3dartist 69 Posted June 6, 2011 Hi all , I`d like to announce that i have fixed damn bug with extreme fps drop on server and in the end crash. AI wasn`t an issue , values for AI are set between versions 1.15 & 1.17. I`d like also to announce that from now on you can play x24 / x48 / x64 players version of mission :) Server is going live over few minutes :)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted June 6, 2011 Good playing with you over the past few days 3Dartist! Just needed more people on to defend bases that were being taken RAPIDLY. I did like your 'NUKE LOYMANARA' quote when we were being overrun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 20 Posted June 6, 2011 Hello all Had a quick go today. Seems a fun mission. I like the fact i can use my mods on the server. Hope it stays that way. My only slight issue was with the gear selection menus. Some are very low in height and hence its not easy to select gear. Its probably due to me having to run in a fairly low resolution. Just bear in mind we dont all have monster rigs. Rgds Lok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3dartist 69 Posted June 7, 2011 Finally after 8 hours of EPIC battles and intense combat between players OPFOR won :) Today we were playing with about 20 players on server , could be more if all Arma 2 players had original ARMA 2 game with all it`s content. Server showed us it`s stability. I have noted your feedback and gonna try to implement it to mission :) Without sarcasm I can say : "It was the greatest PVP battle i`ve ever seen in Arma 2, BF2 x64 is nothing compared to what i`ve seen today in Arma 2" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
