Arma 3 Restarter.exe server monitor

[lordprimate 159]

thanks for the update, another question though. I see that -nosound is not supported, any way to support turning off sound on the server or is it auto??

[rundll.exe 12]

I think the -nosound param doesn't do anything when you run -server anyway.

I dont know why didnt ask this earlier, however, I also do not see it asked any where else.

Is there a way to trick this to launching another -client to use the "headless client" feature??

[ScooBySnaCk 1]

I have fixed the issue where I was logged into steam.

I am now faced with a new issue.

The port is not being used by another server. I have tried multiple different ports. I blacked out the IP for the photo.

1. is windows firewall off?

2. before starting a server run netstat -na and see what ports are actually in use and listening.

Great idea, I was thinking about implementing this as well since I want to run some headless clients. I will add this as a switchable option.

yes please and thank you!!!

EDIT:

just reading and thinking and i realized and wanted to point out incase it slipped by..

If you can add the -noSound and password= to the parameters then when you launch a -client for the HC it will not get started with sound. And if the server is password-ed then you'll need the password= param to get the HC to log in. and maybe -netlog?

I added the -nosound option automatically, since its a server/HC there is no point in sound. I also added the netlog option. I will add the password field next, I have it starting the HC without issues at the moment, its just not connecting to the server properly. Since I am recoding sections, anything else I should be adding support for?

Ok, Corrected the issue with the client connections and updated the top post with the new settings and the new download for the restarter.

[lordprimate 159]

what does -connect=localhost do?? I cant Wait to try it Thanks!!!!!!!!

I cannot get the HC to connect to a passworded server .

EDIT: tested with password=.. and with out and with out password=.. the hc can't connect if using a password, I know I am using the the correct password...

What I would like to see to make your restarter 100% useful for me is a timer= option in the config. This would allow the user to specify timer= [hours/minutes/seconds] (whichever unit of measure you see fit) to have it auto-restart the server after the timer expires. Right now I have to run a separate batch file to kill the arma3.exe after X seconds to perform my server restarts.

Download link is dead. Noooooo.

I will look into this.

That's pretty much how I do it myself, but I use windows events to process the kill requests. I can look into it, coming from a server that connects to a DB, we never liked doing this, wanting to gracefully shut down the server instead. I will play around with some options tonight.

I agree with you here. With my other servers, I use scripts combined with BEC for proper shut down and restarts, but since BattlEye is not yet enabled with A3A, we're left with little choice.

netlog=true is not working.

[-J4F- Thunder666 10]

hi,

1st of all iam a Noob and need advice, or i really going crazy.

What is the difference between server/server and server/client ? i need only a Server/Server i think.

We would like to run 2 servers. Clearly, I need 2 servers / server right ?

next problem is, we placed the basic.cfg Files(and server.cfg)

language="English"; 
adapter=-1; 
3D_Performance=100000; 
Resolution_Bpp=32; 
Windowed=0; 
MinBandwidth=157200000; 
MaxBandwidth=813741824; 
MaxMsgSend=92; 
MaxSizeGuranteed=128; 
MaxSizeNonguaranteed=64; 
MaxCustomFileSize=0; 
serverLongitude=-115; 
serverLatitude=36; 
serverLongitudeAuto=-115; 
serverLatitudeAuto=36;

in the profil Directories which was created by the Restarter.ini File.

[Global]

[hngamers_1_stratis]
name=Reality
profiles=hngamers_1_stratis
config=hngamers_1_stratis\server.cfg
cfg=hngamers_1_stratis\basic.cfg
world=stratis
port=2326
cpuCount=2
exThreads=7
netlog=true
server=server
filepatching=false
rankingfile=hngamers_1_stratis\ranking.log

[hngamers_2_stratis]
name=RealityHC
profiles=hngamers_2_stratis
cpuCount=2
exThreads=7
netlog=false
server=client
connectip=127.0.0.1
connectport=2326
password=whatever

the server=client always start. But the 1st server(server=server) do not start. we only get always this Error: " Reality: invalid basic.cfg location: hngamers_1_stratis\basic.cfg..........."

i really need your help !

thx in advance

solved ! same Noob Error like others, wrong cfg Name

server=client means this is a headless client, in almost all cases you want to use server=server unless you are an advanced user and will be using a HC on your servers. invalid config usually means you do not have a config file in the folder specified, in your case this would be. cfg="hngamers_1_stratis\"

[-J4F- Thunder666 10]

invalid config usually means you do not have a config file in the folder specified, in your case this would be. cfg="hngamers_1_stratis\"

so i know what this means and this is the Problem. We have the basic.cfg File in the specified Folder "cfg=hngamers_1_stratis\".

Therefore I wrote the following.

next problem is, we placed the basic.cfg Files(and server.cfg) in the profil Directories which was created by the Restarter.ini File.

why I still get the error message ?

[iOGC_Aenigma 1]

In the ini file add mod= and then your mods.

Hi Guys

Thanks

Ben

[thevisad 1]

The package contains everything you need for that. Copy everything from the package to the root of your arma 3 folder

[DrWub 1]

How does netlog=true work? and where does it save?

[Predator.v2 10]

Any chance to get a restarter.exe for the new arma3server.exe?
