From version 1.1  "Fixed copying of keys from key folder (eg RHS used key not keys)."

Just to clarify for me, I'm getting an error box:

CopyKeysFromModsStipMenuItem_Click _ An exception occurred:

Could not find directory

'G:|Games\SteamCMD|steamapps\workshop\content\107410\773759919\keys'.

and then I can click OK to contine. 

Is this what is supposed to happen or should the key be copied from the \key directory?

Thanks Again

Eric

 

Hey @eric963 - it seems I haven't accounted for the capitalisation  of the folder. I'll add the list of stuff to be fixed for 1.1.3.

I was looking for an alternative for TADST, and this looks like it could be the one when you add the new features.  Good job.

[Flax 397]

Thanks, I've been away and busy with work. The Git should see some updates over the next week.

Hi that suggests there is an issue with the steam login - try logging into to SteamCMD from the SteamCMD console see if you get the same error.

hi have the same error

 

Is already the normal steam ACC or you have to register in a special place?

Yes you need to login with a normal steam account - and one that has a copy of Arma 3 on it otherwise you won't be able to download the server.

I starting to think this will be my replacement for TADST.  I posted a couple issues on your GitHub but just wanted to let you know that this is really looking good.

[Arghbra 10]

My community has been using your app for some time, Congratulations! But we were updating on our test server and there were some unforeseen events:
 

* it did not recognize the MODS installed on the server. The dynamic links were there, appearing on the MODS tab but when checked and selected to start the server, it started without them.
 

* We reinstalled the server from scratch, from its program (we used the steam tools menu for this), he created a folder for the installation of the ArmA server with another spelling "arma" where the weapon server was installed.

 

* the dynamic links were redone one by one because the program did not create them again by the full check button. The update button indicated that all mods were up to date (note: mods are in the steamcmd folder)

 

We will perform more tests tomorrow to try to find possible errors that occurred in the installation.

We have an idea for your program: you could put a monitor like the internal Fred41 ASM.

 

Congratulations for the initiative.

Hot Fix - V1.3-beta

 

You can download from GitHub or here. Thanks for the feedback - mods not launching was my issue I was using the wrong startup option... Fixed in beta release now.

@eric963 - yea I plan to add the extra options but only noticed them after I'd finished the UI for this build. Will be sure to add them soon.

@Arghbra - sorry for causing you to reinstall the whole server! That issue is fixed as said above. I really like the idea of a server monitor built in. I'll see what I can do.

[Arghbra 10]

 

Do not worry, Flax is a server for mission testing, addons and management / monitoring programs.

Now the MODs were recognized by the installation made by the previous version of the program (V1.3) and by the list of MOD's adopted in the older version (V1.2).
But in the list of servers, our server started the mission indicating that there were no mandatory MOD's (checking in the RPT of the mission the MOD's were loaded).
I started the mission with the MODs and log in it. It worked correctly!

Was it some internal error that he did not recognize MODs?

I would like to take advantage of it and give you another idea: our missions usually use HC's and be persistent.
I noticed that in the program we have the condition to start a HC automatically, but we know that in missions that have ALIVE the HC must be started after the admin is logged in,
so that with the passing of the saves the mission does not miss OPCOMS.

Would it be possible, in a next version, a button to start the HC without separate?

Thanks for the prompt response.

[CCT] Daniel

[Flax 397]

@Arghbra I can split out the Server and HC launching into separate buttons but what you are saying is incorrect. Headless client's can join a server or mission at any point regardless of if the mission is ALiVE or not.

[Arghbra 10]

Flax all our tests using persistence showed in the RPT, the number of opcoms decreased if the admin did not start the mission logged in before any player / HC, and in our tests, the HC only receives damages from the alive if the module of ACEX for HC's set in the mission. We played persistent missions using the Alive Warroom for about 2 years.

But do you have any idea what the server can not indicate the MOD's? I think I'm going to reinstall the server in another folder using steam and retest.

 

Thanks again for the quick response.

Good evening Flax, on behalf of our CCT community "Combate Tatico Brasil", thank you in advance for dedication and great tool for servers Arma 3.

 

Regarding the HC that Arghbra mentioned, from what I understood, the increment of a Delay option to launch the HC would solve the problem. As stated, if the HC is started after some time of the mission started the problem with the ALiVE OPCOM would be solved.

Question about -mod= and -servermod=

 

When using F.A.S.T. it generated this line

 

"G:\Games\a3server\arma3server_x64.exe" -port=2302 "-config=G:\Games\Flax Server Tool\servers\New_Server\New_Server_config.cfg" "-cfg=G:\Games\Flax Server Tool\servers\New_Server\New_Server_basic.cfg" "-profiles=G:\Games\Flax Server Tool\servers\New_Server\" -name=New_Server "-serverMod=@ALiVE;@CBA_A3;"

 

Its using -serverMod=@Alive;@CBA_A3 which are mods that the clients must have and which makes them show up when the client views the server in the server browser.  Should it be using -mod= instead?  And then use in in the Extra Parameters box the -serverMod= for only mods that need to be ran on just the sever like

 

"-serverMod=@Advanced_Rappelling;@Advanced_Urban_Rappelling"

 

I'm still kinds new to the dedicated server stuff but I have been using TADST for the last year and it used -mod= to load them so I thought I would just ask here.

 

Thanks

Eric

I'm doing some testing regarding the ALiVE issue but the next version will have an option to launch HC's separately so that should solve it in your particular instance. 

As for the mods not showing up to the user, yea that is because the tool is using the -serverMods line. I'll see if I can get way to separate out server only mods and client required mods.

This looks great thank you!

You could just -mod and those that need -servermods could just enter that in the extra Params box. There are not that many server side only mods.

Pretty sure it’s done that way in TADST.

Yea i'm looking at adding an extra list for server mods. Expect a stable version of 1.3 by the end of the week, found a few more bugs that need squashing first.

[eric963 23]

Good news. Looking forward to your next release.
