No server rpt file to be found

[shinkicker 5]

Hello All,

Not sure why, but I don't have an RPT:

Start up params:

start arma3server.exe -port=2302 -config=cfg\config.cfg -mod=@iniDB -world=Stratis

The config file referenced (cfg\config.cfg):

hostname = "Arma 3 Server";			
password = "";				
passwordAdmin = "<not telling you lot>";	
reportingIP = "master.gamespy.com";		
motd[] = {
"Welcome to ARMA3 server!",
"",
"",
}; 								
motdInterval = 0;								
maxPlayers = 25;
verifySignatures = 0;															

class Missions {
class ARMA3 {
	template = MP_Hunted.Stratis;				
	difficulty = "Regular";						
};
};

I assumed it would be created in /cfg but its not (its not in the root as well).

I do have my client RPT ok in 'C:\Users\shinkicker\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha', just no server RPT?

Any ideas?

-config=cfg\config.cfg

move config to base dir

-config=config.cfg

-config=cfg\config.cfg

move config to base dir

-config=config.cfg

Thanks, I can now see it in the Users dir.

Confused :confused:

Is this specific to Arma 3 (no path to file) cause I'm sure in A2 you can have a path to where the config is stored... or am I crazy??

[killzone_kid 1330]

yeah seems to be A3 only

I have my config.cfg file inside my Arma 3 root but i don't have an RPT file, I'm using the latest Dev build as well.

Any pointers would be nice :)

^ make sure you use the -name and -profile parameters in your startup line... when launched it should auto-generate the .rpt file

Also the location has changed, well it has for me.

Mine is now situated alongside the client RPT in C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Profile

That because you run client with -server param. Try dedicated .exe

So I had the same issue with Dedicated .exe Problem was I needed to add a "profiles" folder and add path to -profiles="path_to_folder" in your startup shortcut.

Right as I did that and launched the server, connected to the server, Boom! All my files appeared ;D

Hope that helps.

SOLUTION HERE

Update: By default, the files are created in your Local App Data folder for the server profile running Arma3. The solution above will allow you to have those files generated in your local Arma3 directory instead.

use the -profile parameter to redirect the rpt file to another location

sorry didnt read the last post

- delete this post please

[terox 316]

all of this information, file location etc is stated in the first post on the Tutorial-How-to-run-ArmA3-on-a-dedicated-server stickied thread

Is -names=Userfoldername not used in A3 as it was in A2? Just -names is used?

For example, in A2 you can set -names=server1 and the profile/difficulty files would load from /users/server1/ making it easy to switch between difficulty settings.

In the http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147537-Tutorial-How-to-run-ArmA3-on-a-dedicated-server guide I don't see the -names command argument mentioned or explained.
