Adding CH View Distance to my server

[alike 10]

I have tried asking for help on exile mod forums, epoch mod forums and even on the server providers own forums... Still no answer, so now I'm trying this one :)

 

So, what I'm trying to do is to add CH View distance (scrips version) to my server. I know there is a guide on the Armaholic page, but when I tried to follow it, it didn't work. So I must have done something wrong...

 

So then I went ahead and tried the mod version of it. My server starts and I'm able to join it. It also tells me that the mod is part of this server. But I can't find the menu for it in game. Is this because it's not working?

 

I would highly appreciate every helping hand I can get!

 

Best regards

I would suspect the ch viewdistance is a clientside mod, even though i haven't looked at it.

This means the server needs to host the bikey for the addon in its keys folder

The client should be the only node that requires the actual addon and bisigns, which he would place in a mod folder and then launch that addon using the command line param

 

-mod=@MyModFolder

 

Structure for the client install would be

 

• Arma3/@MyModfolder\addons\*.pbo
• Arma3/@MyModfolder\addons\*.bisign

Structure for the server would be

• Arma3/keys/*.bikey

Thank you! I have now tried to follow your guide, and the server starts up like it should do. Now I just have to find out if it's working and how I can access the menu in game :)

Looks like it works, but only in single player... I dont think mods like Exile and epoch support it, or?

 

I know there is a way to force view distance on a server using a file called init.sqf, but the file does not exist in my mission file located on my server. When I create one and fill in the commands it dosent change anything... Can anyone tell me how it's done?
