HaZZarD 2 Posted March 11, 2015 So guys, untill now I always made mission for hosting them in the regular way, now I would like to start hosting using TADST and I know things that worked in MP hosting on non dedicated server way may not work as intended on dedicated servers. So what's the difference between non dedicated and dedicated servers ? How to make missions for dedicated servers ? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 513 Posted March 11, 2015 Locality of scripts and data is the difference between the two, the following is a good resource to get started with understanding locality: http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-basic-multiplayer-coding/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreadedentity 278 Posted March 11, 2015 Basically, you have to know and understand that some commands do not broadcast their results across the net to all clients. Also, "player" is NULL on dedicated server, so you can't use it at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kOepi 10 Posted March 12, 2015 I advice you not to ask general questions which can only be answered with a book and load a mission on a dedicated server ( even on your own machine ) and figure out exactly what your problem is, then you will need to know exactly what to look for and what to ask exactly. There are many ways one can interpret your questions ( performancewise/scriptingwise/level of skills to set up-wise ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreadedentity 278 Posted March 13, 2015 I advice you not to ask general questions which can only be answered with a book I think this is incorrect, just about the only difference between a host'n'play server and a dedicated server is that the dedicated server must be run in a separate instance (actually a separate program to be more specific) and because of that, no "player" variable exists. Also, it's a son-of-a-bitch to set up, TADST is definitely recommended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
