Spatho 10 Posted June 28, 2013 Okay let me set this straight first, please noone posting "read and learn" and such or "go read the forums". I have. There is no page i have found pertaining to this. **If you do know of a page please link to the page itself, not the forums expecting me to find it** It does not have to be persistent it can be a server i just turn on whenever and play with my friends. Im tired of the two very poorly administered Zargabad life servers up. They are full of horrible admins and abuse. I have just been wanting a life server me and my friends could run when we don't want to play on those ones as a friendly environment. All i want to be able to know how to do, is set up a Zargabad life server that i can start up whenever play for a few hours where anyone can join if they want and when im done i can leave it on for awhile or just turn it off. If that is not possible please at least guide me on making a dedicated Zargabad life server anyways. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissileMoose 10 Posted June 28, 2013 The vBulletin search engine isn't great, but there are dozens of threads on the subject. Use a prefix of 'site:bistudio.com' in Google, followed by your search terms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spatho 10 Posted June 29, 2013 The sites you linked are all people who have already started up servers and need help. The one that actually has the question is only redirected to the forums thats all. This is what i do not want. This post is for people to easily find the way to set it up. Not a way to be redirected.

RedneckNinja 10 Posted July 10, 2013 Question #1: Have you ever set up an Arma dedicated server before? Question #2: Do you have any scripting experience? Setting up a server to successfully run a modded mission is not easy. First of all, the mission developers of life servers are pretty stingy with their code and server side addons. Just getting the required files for this particular mission will be the most difficult part. Second, most home internet connections wont be able to support more than 5 or 6 players. My 20/5 internet connection at home lags out with 2 players. I have been running an Arma dedicated server for about a year now, PM me if you still want to continue this.

TW_ 2 Posted August 6, 2013 To start, Zargabad Life isn't a "mod", It's been hosted as a standard OA/CO mission since early 2011. No "mods" are required to join a standard Zargabad Life server. Just getting the required files for this particular mission will be the most difficult part. I'd be happy to send you our (Zargabad Life Classic Roleplay) version of the mission file, It's 935kb so one of the smallest versions you will find that is up-to date and bugs fixed/rules re-written & everything made as even as possible. In the ideal instance it all needs re-writing (as it isn't perfect, as I'm sure other Zargabad Life server admin's will agree), but since A3 is upcoming, We don't see much point in doing this ourselves. It's open source (everything is inside the mission file) so all you require to do is edit your server.cfg to suit the pbo name and it will run on OA. I'm unsure what server made you come to the conclusions of "Poorly Administrated", "Abuse" & "Horrible Admins", But I would like to think it wasn't ours. PM me if you would like the mission file, like I say it's just a 'plug and play' mission like many others. Cheers, Traffic_Warden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
