terox 316 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) I've been trying to test out a dedicated server using both the manual method and TADST and can't get either to work. I couldn't see it in the server browser, so tried connecting directly via IP and that just left me on an infinite A3 loading screen. Not really sure what the problem is, Here's the log. http://pastebin.com/gJ7mPE3y My only guess is that it's something related to ports, but I've tried adding them, removing them and just trusting Upnp. Thanks for any help. I've managed to get the server to show up in the server browser, but I can't seem to connect as it throws a connecting failed error. Not running any mods on the client or server. Is this likely port related?

terox 316 Posted August 20, 2015 So its a connecting issue between you and the server, likely as you said a port issue of some sort. There maybe more firewalls than you think. You should expect at the very least that Windows firewall is operating If this is a virtualisation, then maybe there is an additional level firewall If your tunning behind a router, that may have a firewall etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted August 20, 2015 As Savage stated in the other thread you started. The mission cycle class isn't commented out like it states in the tutorial. If there is no mission with the name you have listed in the mission cycle class, the server will hang when you first try to connect to it. That is the reason why the tutorial has that class commented out using /* and */ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems the dedicated server software is very particular about how ports are forwarded with this router. When hosting from client I had individual port forwarding entries instead of ranges, dedicated server seems to require the ports be input as ranges with this router.

terox 316 Posted September 7, 2015 So everytime i try and join my server i get "kicked off game" Can someone take a look at the RPT and tell me whats wrong? RPT The RPT tells me your server fully loaded but you had issues connecting. Try the debugging tutorial in this same forum stickied at the top. Most likely a faulty mission being read when you connect but could be other issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pouflex 0 Posted October 1, 2015 Hi, How do I upload an edited mission to my server ? I mean I've created a mission with MCC Sandbox and want to be able to use it in my server. How can I do it please ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted October 1, 2015 You need to save it as a .pbo file (this can be done within the editor - export function) or using a PBO manager. Then you need to upload the .pbo file to your dedicated server and place it in the \MPMissions folder. You can also add it to your server's mission rotation see here for more info under Mission rotation: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrozenLiquidity 3 Posted November 9, 2015 DOWNLOADING & ADDON MANAGEMENT http://www.armaholic.com/ is the best source for direct downloads http://play.withsix.com/arma-3 is a download and management application (Steep learning curve but widely used across a lot of servers. You will need to learn this at some point) http://www.sonsofexiled.fr/wiki/index.php/ArmA3Sync_Wiki_English is a serverside/clientside content management and launcher application, easier to use and set up. We personally use this, it gives better control and ease of use to our clients Do most people use play with six or Arma3sync for server mod synchronization? I'm trying to figure out the best and least-effort way of keeping the mods on my server up-to-date. Are these it? Have any been missed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted November 9, 2015 Do most people use play with six or Arma3sync for server mod synchronization? I'm trying to figure out the best and least-effort way of keeping the mods on my server up-to-date. Are these it? Have any been missed? It depends what you are trying to accomplish and whether you are a Preparation prevents piss poor performance type person or Wing it and hope for the best type person My end goal was to set up an addon pack that in the long run caused me the least work, which basically means Easy to administer Minimal user support reduced chance of clients screwing it up. Imo, the only system that can give me this is the A3Sync. Arma3Sync PRO's This allows me to customise / organise the addon pack as I see fit and have the clients run exactly that. Even down to pre edited userconfig files. For example, We have our TFAR userconfig pre edited to the settings we want so that when the clients download it, they dont need to do anything extra We dont run the ACE mortar pbo, so that isnt even available in the @ACE mod folder download We have CBA in a custom mod folder called @ZCBA (allowing clients to run the PW6 version on other servers Everything is preconfigured exactly how i want it and every client runs exactly the same version of an addon. If we no longer want to run an addon, then its simply removed from the repo and the next time the client syncs, it's deleted on their version too. If there are updates, I update the repo on a Monday evening. I post that there are updates available to sync. The clients run the sync app and everything is downloaded and installed for them automatically with the click of a button I have a google doc which lists all the addons we host. The admins in charge of selecting the content keep this updated and I use this as my "To Do" update worksheet check out the "Zeus Addons" Tab on the following google spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V76V-deh5vqH8ohq7zt1Ij_118hQTY1R_FUt3lVmpbc/edit?usp=sharing Once I have updated the repo I run a batch code which updates the 4 instances of Arma we have installed to mirror the repo's mod folders, "keys" folder etc Cons It creates a little more backend work for me to set up, keep updated, however long term causes me much less work and minimal user support. Bandwidth useage (our pack has changed size between just a few Gig to over 16Gig at some point, we're currently around 8Gig at the moment.). I found this site https://www.ramnode.com/vps.php and use this as our repo host site , which was the best I could find to offer good speed and adequate bandwidth and minimal cost PWSix Sickboy is a very good sysadmin and technically brilliant and kudos to him for the system he has created. I haven't taken a look at PW6 for a long time, so I cannot comment on his latest endeavours in this area. Historically though, the GUI has imo always been too complicated and the app too controlling making it very heavy in the user support department. It also allows members to update an addon in advance of you updating the server which can be very problematic. Pro's Server Bandwidth useage Con's Too complex Other options The only other option you have is a web page or google doc full of links that you have to manually edit (That is a lot of work and the end user can still screw things up A LOT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khan_artist 16 Posted November 21, 2015 got my server up and running but its not perfect yet. its my first time running a server so bare with me. so i can successfully see my server in the server list, i can connect to it and play but my virtual arsenal only seems to be running RHS stuff and no vanilla no anything else it seems, to make it worse its not ALL the RHS assets i only had some blufor stuff available to me. my server is running RHS for the mission but it has keys for everything else im running. so question is does my server have to run the exact mods im running? or where could i have gone wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted November 22, 2015 The server's "Keys" folder defines the addons the clients are allowed to use. (Whitelist) providing verifysignatures =2 has been defined in your cfg file The mission defines the addons that both the server and the clients need to run (For that mission) If the server does not host the addons that the mission requires it will fail to load correctly. So I would assume your mission is bugged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
