How to use Map Editor to edit a mission/map in multiplayer? [Dedicated/Shard Box]

Recommended Posts

Hello, iv been trying to find out if there is a way to edit the Altis Life map (in multiplayer), adding scripts, shops, objects, etc. I know this is not the Altis life forums, but since im am referring to the Map Editor I thought it might be the right places to post.

Well as some of you properly know its pretty simple to do on your own system, you simply just start a LAN or Internet server by pressing "NEW" in the multiplayer section where you see the server list and off you go, you can now edit in multiplayer.

Its not the same on a shared game box or a deticated server.. I just have just setup my the server, cant find the option to load the arma map editor on my server.. I think its pretty weird you cant do it on a shared box or deticated server, considering its almost the same thing when you host it on the internet or on a LAN.

Any help is appreciated ;)

Thx in advance!

Yes I know that's possible to do, but I dont have the hardware specs or nor the bandwidth to host a server - In larger SP missions my mouse keeps freezing every 5 sec. Daamn you Bohemia ! -.-

You don't need to host a server to edit a mission file.

  • Run Arma 3
  • select Play
  • select Multiplayer
  • select New
  • select OK
  • open desired mission file
  • edit
  • save
  • upload to server

Yes I already know that. The thing im trying to find out is how to host a multiplayer editing session, for people to join and participate in building on the map and maybe with a 3D editor to help out..

The directions I gave you actually involve setting up a host, so they can join you as you edit. If you don't have the specs/bandwidth to do so, you might be out of luck. You can't do this on a dedi because a dedi runs the server.exe, not the regular game.
