Update

The compilation list has been completed, future updates will add and adjust things if need be, for now this is what was done:

  • Updated description
  • Sorted all listings into subjects based on their titles and content (might need some tweaking)
  • Added a few new listings to certain subjects
  • Added spoilers, bullets, and increased Font size, and adjusted color accordingly

Notes:

For those of you who dont understand the reasoning behind the layout and setup of the list, the following will explain:

  1. A long list means you need to scroll, and scroll alot, this imo wastes time, so spoilers are used to condense listings (items or subjects), this cuts the scrolling time in half if not more.
  2. Large item fonts and bold - Its done this way to standout, so your not straining yourself, spending time "reading" the point is to be able to look at it and have an idea what it is.
  3. Large subject fonts and color, Blue stands out and looks decent on white, black is ok can work but makes the thread bland, large font for the subject enables you to see what is what quickly.

All for today. Cheers!

Is there a clear guide out there that covers how to setup a headless client ? This is for the mission Liberation Tobruk which already has HC support (HC slots are shown in the mission start screen). The whole thing is just confusing me. Do I have to copy across gigabytes of mods if I run the HC on another machine ? Do I *have* to have a separate steam ID ? Can I use Arma 3 launcher to launch the HC, or some other launcher ? Confused 😱.

 

EDIT: Of course as soon a I wrote that I found - https://docs.linuxgsm.com/game-servers/arma-3 - which includes the clearest explanation I've seen so far of an HC plus a handy simple setup system.

That subject will be in another compilation, as i have several aside this im working on for various sections of the forum,

this list in the OP is just basic guides, manuals ect,. so headless client wont be listed here.

 

For headless client either way take a look at this and the video below:
