Setting up a server -- game files?

Recommended Posts

Hey,

I am willing to set up a server, however I have ran into an issue. Major questions:

1. Does the server require all the game files the client has?

2. Most efficient way of getting the files over to a linux server? Any mirrors available to download them directly server-side? (transferring them using my home connection would be a gigantic disaster)

I am sorry if a thread with this was already posted, I have tried to use the search function however no efficient results. Please feel free to slap me with a link to a similar thread if it exists.

Thank you in advance.

I found this topic with lots of info for you:

- Arma2 dedicated server howto

1- Yes, it requires all official game files.

2- You will have to upload them yourself, I am not familiar wether there is a mirror provided by BIS for this and its not allowed to share the game files.

You can just upload the files to your server while sleeping/working/at school/doing some shopping.

Thank you.

Unless someone has a more accurate answer in regards to the server files, you may consider the topic as solved.

Do NOT upload the DLC folders (.\BAF and .\PMC).
