doubledizz 10 Posted November 27, 2014 I've hired a virtual server. I've placed addons in the server's arma 3 base directory and the addons' keys are all in the KEYS folder. The server "game panel" has a Commandline Manager tool in which I have added my mods. The preview for the Commandline Manager now looks like so... NB: I have replaced some information with "****" -ip=********** -port=**** -noPause -noSound -cpuCount=4 -maxMem=2048 -exThreads=7 "-cfg=A3DS\basic.cfg" "-config=A3DS\server.cfg" "-profiles=A3DS\Profiles" -world=empty -mod=@A3_FreeAim_Fix_0.4;@ALiVE;@AliveServer@CBA_A3;@RH_M4;@asdg_jointmuzzles-20140813;@ASDG_JR;@C1987mp7A3_ver2.3.1;@U100;@st_stamina_bar;@st_nametags;@st_map_autobrightness;@st_interact;@st_gi;@sthud This is the server.cfg // // server.cfg // // STEAM steamport=****; steamqueryport=****; // GLOBAL SETTINGS hostname = "****"; // The name of the server that shall be displayed in the public server list password = "****"; // Password for joining, eg connecting to the server passwordAdmin = "****"; // Password to become server admin. When you're in Arma MP and connected to the server, type '#login xyz' //reportingIP = "armedass.master.gamespy.com"; // For ArmA1 publicly list your server on GameSpy.

What am I doing wrong? I've also got a bunch of mates who are meant to jump on for a night of Arma in about 2 hours... :butbut: ---------- Post added at 05:04 ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 ---------- Oh my god. I missed a semicolon between aliveserver and cba... A semicolon resulted in me reinstalling the entire server and having to upload all the mods again. Jesus Christ.

Gunter Severloh 3950 Posted November 27, 2014 Fun aint it, can be a headache sometimes. Just some tips for the future, 1. When you upload to your ftp for the server, upload with what you have that you are using already, so if you have mods in your Arma3 directory, upload those, then their wont be any question as to whether you, or the server have the same files. 2. Gameplay addons and mods dont need to be on the server for them to work, so your addons you have: @st_s tamina_bar;@st_nametags;@st_map_autobrightness;@st _interact;@st_gi;@sthud these you can run client side and join the server and see the features ingame still, also you can make your own mod out of these, just name it something like @ST_Mods and take all the addons from each of the mods and put them into one, this will eliminate clutter of folders, and files. 3.Missions that require files like ALive, and other misc files related need to be on the server, other files where you have weapons or units in a mission also need to be on the server. 4. Issues with the server where the mission dont show is usually 2 things: A. command line is wrong b. files the mission needs is not on the server (hence you will get an error in the rpt) or.... not fully uploaded so for this compare the file size with what you have in your directory and whats on the ftp. 4. Any issues with the server always check 1. the RPt, and 2 the command line, so you know what your running. Last note, do not edit missions while running mods that you will not use in the mission, if you do there may be a possibility of getting a dependency to a mod, and you'll discover this when the mission wont load, you will get the error that something is missing and or has been deleted. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
