CaponeSB 10 Posted October 23, 2013 Hello everybody. I've been renting a server hosted by vilayer for my own clan but I'm not such an expert in this kind of things and I'm not able to install any mods such as ACRE,CBA and STHUD. Can anybody help me with this issue and explain me what to do in simple words and step by step? I'd like to learn how it works. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted October 23, 2013 I assume your server access is through TCAdmin or some other type of control panel software? If so you'll need to upload (FTP) the mod files to your server first.. using a unique folder for each mod.. just like you'd do it on your PC. Then you need to adjust the startup parameters in the control software and add a line like this: -mod=@CBA_A3; @jayarma3lib; @ACRE; @sthud Make sure you also have any \userconfig files added (don't think there are any for those particular mods). If your server is using signature checking (which it should be) make sure you add the mod .bikey files to the \Keys folder in your Arma install. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaponeSB 10 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) I uploaded the mods in their own folders once and put the -mod=@CBA_A3; @jayarma3lib; @ACRE; @sthud line but it didn't work. where do I find \useconfig files? and what about the mod.bikey files? Do I find everything in the mods folder? One more thing: I do everything through an ACP. Edited October 23, 2013 by CaponeSB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ck-claw 1 Posted October 23, 2013 -mod=@CBA_A3; @jayarma3lib; @ACRE; @sthud One thing -no 'spaces' between eg should be like this:- -mod=@CBA_A3;@jayarma3lib;@ACRE;@sthud But i'm pretty sure sthud is client side so no need to run on server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaponeSB 10 Posted October 23, 2013 I uploaded the mods folders... do I need to copy and paste the .bikey files and other stuff manually? I put the acre .BIKEY FILES in the dedicated server "keys" folder, the error has changed in this one: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy230 10 Posted October 24, 2013 But i'm pretty sure sthud is client side so no need to run on server. Yes u are right, but he needs to copy .bikey of sthud to "Keys" directory on server. ---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ---------- I uploaded the mods folders... do I need to copy and paste the .bikey files and other stuff manually? Yes, you have to copy all .bikey files to "keys" directory on dedicated server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaponeSB 10 Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) still, it doesn't work... the error is the same as I posted before. The error shows something about .pbo files.. DO I need to add pbo files too? Edited October 24, 2013 by CaponeSB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy230 10 Posted October 24, 2013 I think all mods must be installed in root Arma 3 directory. Else you have to subsribe complete path where mods are installed in startup parameters for every mod using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auscleaver 12 Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) I had issues installing CBA but that was probably on my end. It looks like you just need the server keys which you will find in the mods folder under "Keys" or "server keys", copy them out and stick them into the keys folder in the root directory and it should work. EDIT: Just looked at your errors and it looks like ACRE and Jaylib which is required for ACRE are the problem, I haven't tried to install these yet so I'm not 100% on what the problem could be apart from the keys.

SavageCDN 231 Posted October 24, 2013 Make sure you have the latest versions of ACRE and jayarma3lib (use PWS or Six-Updater) as there were problems in the past with server key files for both mods... perhaps you have older versions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaponeSB 10 Posted October 24, 2013 Probably my version is up to date and it's a porting for arma 3 of course. Anyway, no .pbo files must be uploaded right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted October 24, 2013 Yes you'll need to upload the pbo files as well although from your screenshot of the Arma directory it looks like you've done that already (at least the folders are there). ACRE, CBA and jayarma3lib must have the pbo files on the server and launched at start (using -mod= parameter) whereas sthud is client-side only ... meaning all you need to do is add the sthud bikey file to your Arma\Keys directory on the server.

CaponeSB 10 Posted October 24, 2013 well the .pbo files are in the addons folder in the acre one. Do I need to move them in the server addons folder? Because I still can't run the mods on the server... looks like I've done everything you guys kindly told me but nothing happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted October 24, 2013 No sounds like you've done it right. PBO files for each addon should go into the respective @mod\Addon folders. So the path would read: ArmaInstallDir \ @ACRE \ Addons \ ACRE pbofiles and bisign files ArmaInstallDir \ @CBA \ Addons \ CBA pbofiles and bisign files Each mod will have it's own .bikey file which is required if you are using verifySignatures=2 param in your server .cfg file. These files go in: ArmaInstallDir \ Keys Some mods have a userconfig file which will have an .hpp extension. None of the 3 mods you are using has one I believe but if so it would go in: ArmaInstallDir \ Userconfig \ ModnameFolder \ Filename.hpp If you still have issues I would recomment posting your servers RPT file for us to look at http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?156444-How-To-Server_Console-log Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaponeSB 10 Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) where can I find the RPT file? sorry for my ignorance in this sector. Do I have to do something with these paths?: ArmaInstallDir \ @ACRE \ Addons \ ACRE pbofiles and bisign files ArmaInstallDir \ @CBA \ Addons \ CBA pbofiles and bisign files EDIT: I put the .hpp files in the config folder but nothing changes.

No I was just trying to show you what the folder structure should look like in your Arma install directory. If you've setup mods on your own PC before then the process is pretty much the same. I would check this thread first (option 2): http://www.armaholic.com/plug.php?e=faq&q=18 There are also some good videos there to show you how. RPT file should be generated in the root of your Arma install directory. If you don't see an .rpt file then your server is not setup properly - most likely missing the -name parameter Check here for more server setup info: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147537-Tutorial-How-to-run-ArmA3-on-a-dedicated-server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SavageCDN 231 Posted October 29, 2013 -profiles=cfg ^ are you sure this is correct or perhaps a copy/paste typo? odd to have the server profile called 'cfg' Check and make sure your server has the most up-to-date CBA version. Your RPT shows CBA using setVehicleInit which I think is now outdated and should not be in the most recent version of CBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tacti-Cool 10 Posted October 29, 2013 cfg is the folder on the server that the RPT is being stored in, so it is correct. Ill check the CBA version, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted October 30, 2013 Sorry you are correct I was thinking of the -name param :p Hopefully the problem is outdated CBA as that is easy to fix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
