How to create windows based server ?

[Birdy1512 0]

I'll get 2 arma licences, with 1 licences I want to create a windows based server. OFP had a server.exe for hosting a server with dvd or cd, is it in arma too ? If i start the server.exe does the server need a full graphic card or is it possible with a onboard card ? which ports needs arma ?

thanks for help

add <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">-server -config=server.cfg to your arma shortcut.

Dont think you'll need two licences though, even if the server is running the same CD Key as ONE of the players, it will still run ok.

Only when 2 or more players with same CD key try and join is there the message "CD Key in Use"

arma default port is 2302, but you can use what you want by editing the config, see the bis wiki about dedicated servers for info

My friend has a (dedi windows) server up running, but when we both join it is just stuck on waiting for host. How do we bring choose missions etc?

EDIT- ah okay the old admin login commands, found it!

The question is ...

Do I need to add any of these gamespy servers to the config??
