Editing maps and adding them to a dedicated server

Recommended Posts

Experienced people, please advise: 
1. Is it possible to take a ready-made map and make modifications to it? 

  • 1а. If it is possible, what tool should be used for this?
  • 1b. What tool can be used to add to the modified map those mods that we are interested in and available in Workshop?
  • 1c. After making changes, how can I save the customized script and use it on the server?

 

2. On some scenarios I found the mode “Game Master”, if I understood correctly, in this mode just and can edit the current mission to suit yourself, but it is not quite clear how to save it, how to place on the server and then how to run for online play.... 

 

3. I tried to see what mods and scripts use available game servers, if I add the same script and exactly the same mods in config.json, and then run, the mods are downloaded, but the server crashes. I.e. the more mods any server uses, the greater the chance of crashing.... 

Most likely my questions look stupid, I reread the manual on server configuration several times, went through all available links, but there and could not understand these issues.

If you have time or opportunity to help me, I will be very grateful. 

Thank you, and again, I apologize for wasting your time. 
Have a good day.

Velaro,

 

While it's very easy to find this using the search engine i will give you some answers 😛

Depending on your setup (PC/Xbox); yes, it's possible and the tool to be used is the World Editor. This is to be found as Arma Reforger Tools in the steam workshop.

All map editing, scriptbuilding and modding in general can be done via this tool.

You can find more information in these forums: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/forum/411-arma-reforger-editing/ and there's lots of visual help available throughout Youtube.

Thanks for the reply, I've seen instructions and guides, but I'm still in the beginning stages of “understanding” these things :) 
If I understand correctly, I can edit a vanilla map in tools, but I can't take someone's ready-made game scneario?

You have to add the mod to your Workbench launcher. Just click on Add Project and browse to to folder containing the addons.proj from - for example - the map Kunar.

Then when you right click on your own new project, you can select Open with Addons, at which you should be able to select Kunar as an additional addon.

I'm really dumb, sorry. 
I tried to run ready-made scripts in tools, but for some reason they are blocked for modification. 
Anyway, thank you for your time and replies. I guess I need to take a closer look at the manuals 🙂
