bobby budnick 0 Posted May 11, 2007 I'm trying to run a 1.07 dedicated server, but I get this error on startup:Quote[/b] ]Addon 'Desert' requires addon 'CARoads' I copied over all the folders from my installed version of Arma with the 1.07 beta folder and tried to run using this line: Quote[/b] ]c:\Games\ArmA\beta\arma_server.exe -mod=beta -config=Dedicated.cfg Am I doing something wrong? I also have the Atari download version and get a problem very similar to this. Only it tells me I need 'CAPlants'. If I copy plants.pbo from the original addons to the beta addons I get the error he is describing. Even after copying roads.pbo and all others that it asks for the dedicated server will start without erroring, but will not load any maps. The normal 1.07 beta client works fine. Additional Information: I have fully uninstalled and then reinstalled and reupdated the game but I get the same problem. I don't get any errors during the install or update. In another thread, someone said that the readme for the patch mentioned the download version does not work. I can find no such mention in the readme. However, in the community download page it says don't apply the patch to a download version if you are worried about activations. I am not worried about activations, I just want to get the dedicated 1.07 beta server working. So if anyone can post that does have the 1.07 beta server working, particularly with the download version, that would be great. Thanks for any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dslyecxi 23 Posted May 12, 2007 I am having the same error on the ShackTac server. We were looking at a 60+ player turnout this weekend for our first ArmA session. We will have a small fraction of that due to being forced to use 1.06 (which a large chunk of our playerbase simply does not have) or 1.05 (same story, except in reverse). To say that I am a bit pissed off is a massive understatement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dslyecxi 23 Posted May 12, 2007 solutionlocate new start link for beta version make a copy of it right click on new link and go to properties edit it to point to your new server.exe eg for me it was C:\ArmA\beta\arma_server.exe -mod=beta -netlog -config=1.07internet.cfg use this link to start server hope this helps I believe this issue is specific to the US downloadable version. I've already tried what you suggested and it has no effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mosh 0 Posted May 12, 2007 same deal for me, same error, no maps loading solution for me (German DVD but this should apply to anyone) looks like a few replies pointed towards this but just making it a little clearer... make shortcut for beta\arma_server right click shortcut, click properties in Target box: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"C\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma\beta\arma_server" -mod=beta -config=server.cfg in Start in box: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"C\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma" adjust driver letter and/or folder to your setup, but make sure to point to root folder and not beta folder in Start box.

Morticus 0 Posted May 26, 2007 I found the problem, If you notice when loading the Server you get a message telling you about some thing. Well i looked through and found that it was my desert.pbo and desert.pbo.bi.disgn files that was the problem replaced these with the 1.5 verion files from the main directory and it worked 1st time. so i sugguest checking the files in the beta/addon's folder have not corupted at all, ei take them from another machine and replace them. Hope this helps guys. Morticus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
