Preliminary How To Host dedicated server of Project Argo

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to get a CP server setup for me and my friends. I'm having a problem in that the server never lets us pick a spawn location.

server.cfg:

Any help would be appreciated.

Found the problem. It's Linux.

 

Move my server to a Windows machine, using the exact same config file. Server launches fine and I'm able to join the game and select a starting point in Combat Patrol. Not sure why Linux would make a difference, but it does.

Do the players get any sort of in-game warning that the server is going to restart when this limit is reached?

afaik no, it also happens after mission end and the mtsr will start the process again

Canuckbrian , your cfg doesn't work..

I've modified my config since my post. It's working now, but only on Windows servers. Not on Linux servers.

2. no BattlEye (only on official servers)

seriously? why?

why should anyone run a server without any kind of protection against hackers?

 

 

i can understand why the self hosted servers are unranked... you dont want anyone to cheat his levels/xp with some modifications...

but whats the point in hosting a server on your own then... who will play a game like that on a private server when you get nothing

imho this is pointless...

updated for 0.67

can you make a .rar or .zip folder with all essentially needed files to host a server such that everyone can use his custom loadouts?

Is there a way to make an own server that gives xp? 

It would be nice to be able to balance the teams as "admin".

im having an intermittent issue once the server has been running for a while, where i get the same screen as CanuckBrian where theres no place to spawn, but i still have plenty of tickets left. a reboot fixes it... 

 

 

 

also, i cannot use any of my unlocked weapons or equipment on our server...

quick question guys 

 

how can i get a server to find my map ..... 

 

i have added it in the server cfg  with the other map templates but it cant find it 

 

20:08:09 Can't find a mission collection / mission with template name: 'MP_ARGO_Conf_Military_Base.Abel', skipping to next mission.

 

do i need to put in a set folder for it to find the mission ..... does it need to be a pbo file  ?

I have my custom classes on my server by adding a initPlayerLocal.sqf file  with the following in it :

 

[] execVM "fn_customLoadouts.sqf";

 

then the fn_customLoadouts.sqf  (this was from another player who helped me out Eaglebyte)

thank you Shane,

i have a question about how to change or edit those loadouts... can i add silencers, etc.???

 

those scripts work,as far as changing the loadouts. but i couldnt get the round to load. 

 i rebooted without those two scripts, and now i cannot get the combat patrol to actually start. we get to the start point vote, and it counts down to zero, and respawns are disabled. tickets say unlimited. 

config is exactly as above.... ideas?

these scripts call your loadouts that you have on the official servers 

 

i havent played around with combat patrol yet in the editor  but i will have a look later if i get time and if i can get something running i will share it with you

Following steps shall help you to setup Project Argo dedicated server:

 

0. dedicated server data package STEAM appid = 563930 , param for steamCMD "-beta server" , size only ~3 GB

1. most of steps is like for Arma 3 dedicated server (configs, folder/file-structure, command-line parameters) https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server

2. no BattlEye (only on official servers)

3. no callExtension (disabled altogether)

4. no control over difficulty settings

5. not yet dedicated server data package (to be decided)

6. no linux dedicated server

7. new server.cfg setting:


autoSelectMission = true; // reports mission inside mission cycle even before first player join the server

8. new server.cfg setting for timeouts (details in https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/140837-development-branch-changelog/page-46#entry3115444 )


votingTimeOut = 30;
roleTimeOut = 45;
briefingTimeOut = 20;
debriefingTimeOut = 30;

9. new server setting which allows missions from Missions class to be selected randomly (with equal probability), only rule is that two successive missions are always different (with exeption of one mission in the list).


class Missions {
randomOrder = true;
class mission1
{
template = "mission1.VR";
};
class mission2
{
template = "mission2.VR";
};
};

10. there are three mission cycle mission names (3 scenarios) {since 0.73 all locations are available in data)


class Missions
{
    class ProjectArgoMission01 {
    template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_Airfield.Abel"; //actual missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_La_Trinite.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_MOUT.Abel"; //aprevious missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_Radio_Station.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_Le_Port.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_AA_Site.Abel"; //previous missions
    };

    class ProjectArgoMission02 {
    template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_Larche.Abel"; //actual missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_La_Trinite.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_Cancon.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_Sainte_Marie.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_Le_Port.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_La_Riviere.Abel"; //previous missions 
    };
    
    class ProjectArgoMission03 {
    template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Le_Port.Abel"; //actual missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Sainte_Marie.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Cancon.Abel"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Arudy"; //previous missions 
    //template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Airfield.Abel"; //previous missions 
    };

};

 

11: Update 0.75 added new New server settings


ARGOMissionVoteType = "MissionType"; //Either Clash or Raid depends on the gamemode you want to run
ARGOMissionVote = true; // allows people to vote for next map after game ends
For Raid And Clash both of these settings need to be present in server.cfg. For mixed you only need to use ARGOMissionVote = true;

 

12: Update 0.75 also added hardcore mode to enable it paste the following line to server.cfg


forcedDifficulty = "Hardcore";

13: Update 0.76 added new server settings for Inactivity and TeamKilling


kickTeamKill = 2;
kickInactive = 60;

 have any of the settings changed with the latest update ?

Seems to me that ARGO does not support the Arma3 -IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Option in Commandline? I am not able to Host several Servers and binding them to speific IPs. After one Argo Server is Running, the Second says that he cant start on Port 2302.

 

Does Argo have a different option to bind ip's?

Stuipid question: but why not just use different ports?

-port=2304

for example?

Thats Plan B, but i have One Maschine with X IP's and like to use one ip for one server. So the question still is, is it possible. I know it is in Arma3 and in my opinon, IP binding should be an elementary option in evry dedicated server package ...

I think at this point, we're not able to have enough players in ARGO to support your need to play a well developed game, but if you feel like contributing to the development process through feedback, ARGO might become the game you want it to be.
