Ok this is what you need to do...first thing first create a text folder called server.cfg and paste this into it:

Quote[/b] ]passwordAdmin = "XXXXX"; // password to protect admin access

password = ""

hostname="Your name of Server";

motd[]=

{

<u>"Welcome to the ARMA server.",

"BLAH BLAH BLAH",

"Put your server messages here",</u>

}; // Welcome message

motdInterval=2;

voteThreshold=0.33; // when one third agrees, this is enough to confirm a vote

reportingIP=""; // private server - no reporting

voteMissionPlayers=3; // start voting when 3 players connect

checkfiles[]={"HWTL\dta\data3d.pbo","dta\data3d.pbo"}; //list of files to check for identity

kickduplicate=1; // do not allow duplicate id

equalModRequired=1; // require equal mod

maxPlayers ="12"; //The maximum number of players

MaxMsgSend = 256;

MinBandwidth = 768000;

class Missions

{

class MPCoop_01   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP03ArmoredFist.Sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

class MPCoop_02   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP04CleanSweep.Sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

class MPCtf_01   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP08CaptureTheFlag2.Sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

class MPCoop_03   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP10HoldCastle.Sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

class MPCoop_04   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP11Ambush.Sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

class MPFF_01   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP12FlagFight.sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

class MPCoop_05   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP15SectorControl.Sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

class MPCoop_06   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP19Hunting.Sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

class MPDM_01   // name for the mission, can be anything

{

     template = MP20CamelDogFight.Sara;

     cadetMode = 1;   // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

};

Remember to edit the highlighted bits...

This will take care of your server when its running..

Next go to your bohemia interactive/Arma folder and right click the ArmA_Server.exe (CLICK HERE) and send it to your desktop.

On your Desktop right click the copy of ArmA_server.exe, that you just sent to your desktop, and click the properties tab.. on the target line enter the following at the end:

-config=server.cfg

Click apply. your target line should now look like this:

"C:\Documents and Settings\server\Desktop\armed assault2\ArmA\ArmA_Server.exe" -config=server.cfg

note that you need a space betwween the exe" and -config...

close that box and double click the server Icon on your desktop and all should work as long as you have the correct ports open, 2302 to 2307..

hope it helps

I know this seems like a crazy idea but sensible.. is there a way to have a dedicated server that dosen't require 5GB of harddrvie space? I can get the Server to run up using only 24mb of space but every time you connect (via web or lan) to it, it sits on waiting for host.

The only reason i ask this is because i don't see why the server needs all the game files as the users have their own data files which should be up to date to enable them to play on the server in the first place.

Call me stupid or something but i just can't understand the reasons behind it.. I am a network administrator and database administrator before you demean me or belittle me.
