Dedicated server hosting help

[Wouser 10]

Ej guys!

I wanted to set up a dedicated server for anyone who liked to play on it. I only dont know how to get it all set... i used this site as a sort of guide:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Armed_Assault:Dedicated_Server

at the "installation" section they talk about "you can use the main executable (ArmA.exe) with the command line argument –server to start a dedicated server" wich should do what i want ( i want to start an oden/BE warfare server but i need to set the paramaters right for that matter... ) but where do i add that "-server" part in the 'command line' ? i really hope someone can help me out!

create a shortcut to the .exe matey.... edit shortcut and add it in the target box.... prob better to get the dedicated server exe though, and add it to that.

thanks. but how do i edit the parameters of the oden map or set the settings of BE in a config file so i can start a server with the standalone exe?

the rest of the setttings are in your server.cfg and arma2.cfg have a search on here matey... there are loads of posts on the subject..

Download this file and drop it in your arma root folder where the other arma2.exe resides

http://www.arma2.com/support/updates/file/211-arma2server_1_04.html?lang=en

and away you go by running the new server.exe

For server configs check

Server.cfg

arma.cfg

for difficulty setting go into profiles/users/'accountname'/'accountname'.armaprofile

awesome you guys already helped alot, got my server up and running now with the oden map totally working only the param setting part doesnt work this is how i got it in the code:

/*

Specifies the mission rotation and related difficulty settings.

leave blank i.e class Missions {};

to enable player's selection from mission list & difficulty settings

(voted on if no admin logged in)

*/

class Missions

{

class Mission_01 // name for the mission, can be anything

{

template = ColdOdenWarfare.Chernarus; // omit the .pbo suffix

/*

difficulty: recruit, regular, veteran & expert

as specified in *.Arma2profile

*/

difficulty = "recruit";

/*

The following options are seen in the lobby of a multiplayer game. These

options can be useful for setting time limits and score limits in such games

as Capture the Flag and Death Matches. Other popular uses include

accelerate time, setting the mission difficulty or switching the intro on/off.

*/

}

param1 = "Warfare"

param2 = "6 Towns"

param3 = "Off"

param4 = "Infinite"

param5 = "Off"

param6 = "Off"

param7 = "2000m"

};

any help would be appreciated thanks in advance!
