Sc0rc3d 1 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Hi Guys, i bought a V-Server and wannt to Install an Arma 2 Server on it with some Mods. But i am very confused how. :confused: I am sorry if this Question is to simple or stupid. What cind of Server i need to Install? Is this a normal "Server" or an Dedicated Server and what is the Difference and the advantages disadvantages of both. And i need a new Key for Arma for the Server or i can Install with my Keys? Because in the Script i wrote for the Mission is mostly: if (isServer) { } greetings Sc0rc3d Edited October 9, 2012 by Sc0rc3d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuel 25 Posted October 9, 2012 There are two types of servers, dedicated and listen. A listen server is also a client (playing the game, and still acts as the server). A dedicated server is only a server. You'd want to set up a dedicated. There are several guides on how to set up a dedicated server, it shouldn't be a problem to find one. As for your script, (!isServer) will only run on clients. isServer is true for both listen and dedicated server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sc0rc3d 1 Posted October 9, 2012 Ah okay so a listen Server is mostly like i am Host "local" a server on My Pc where can join other Players to play. On my V-Server the best way should be to Install a dedicated. I need a Gamekey for the Server or i can use my Key of my ArmaX Game? And Sorry i mean if (isServer) { } Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuel 25 Posted October 9, 2012 Correct. I do not think that you need a key to set up a dedicated server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted October 9, 2012 ^ Cuel is correct.. you use a different .exe to run the server which does not do any key checks (this is true for Steam as well) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
