Andrew Loake 0 Posted May 2, 2017 Hi guys and sorry to bother you all but i am totally new to the whole server side of arma 3. We have purchased a 20 slot server from Arctic Servers and we are having issues. The issues are as follows, How do we change the server from CO-OP to a Zeus? How do we install maps and get them to work? How do we install mods and get them to work? Which files do we require to add a mission to the server? I know its alot to ask but we are litterally new to this and are looking to have a server for friends to mess about on instead of each of us hosting Thanks in advanced for any help given Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terox 316 Posted May 3, 2017 This is a step by step guide for installing and configuring a server It also explains everything you need to know about addons As for the map & mission questions. Maps aka islands are just another addon and installed the exact same way as other addons A Mission is basically a series of files packed into a special folder with the extension .pbo which is created in the 3d editor or you can download premade missions by 3rd parties from external sights such as armaholics If a mission requires addons, you will need to also host these, the tutorial explains all this The simplest mission will work with just the mission.sqm packed inside the pbo More complex missions have additional scripts that the mission developer has created himself or copied from others A very basic mission will comprise of the following files mission.sqm briefing.sqf init.sqf description.ext This is not really the correct forum to answer questions on missioin design. There are unpacking tools (eliteness by mikero is most likely the best) so you can open up existing .pbo's and take a look at the scripts that are used in them. (Google it) This is a massively steep learning curve if you've never done any arma editing before so I would suggest you concentrate on getting your server to run first My advise to you is prove your vanilla (non modded) server first before you even think about adding any 3rd party content and follow the tutorial step by step dont try to jump through loops or you will most likely end up tearing your hair out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
