Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead - Linux Standalone Server 1.52 BETA UPDATED to b.71900

Recommended Posts

I copied game directory into my dedicated server machine (OS Debian), rename it to "arma2" (lowercase), i have created directory "server1" with arma2.cfg and server.cfg

I noticed that "arma2/" does not contain "Bin" and "Campaigns" folders... (my game is Arma 2 Combined Operations)

When I try to run the server, I get a lot error messages:

./server -name=server1 -config=server1\server.cfg -cfg=server1\arma2.cfg -profiles=server

...
Warning Message: '/' is not a value

Any help?

It appears you are using backslashes for the directory elements - in unix they need to be forward slashes. A backslash in unix tells the shell to 'escape' the next character and not interpret it.

So it should be: -config=./server1/yourconfigfile

I tried with "/" slash -> same thing...

Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin.cfgFormations'.
Warning Message: No entry '.Civ'.
Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin.cfgFormations'.
Warning Message: No entry '.West'.
Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgCoreData.rayModel'.

Warning Message: '/' is not a value
Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWrapperUI/Cursors/Arrow.shadow'.
Warning Message: '/' is not a value

Noticing that " No entry 'bin\..."

As I said my "bin" directory is missing - I have Arma 2 Combined Operations (digital download installer from sprocket).

Did you also copy the Expansion directory to the server? What you need is <arma2 folder>\Addons \Dta \Expansion \Keys on the server.. also make sure there are absolutely NO files, folders ANYTHING in the server folder that has capital letters. Also you should consider using the startup script (arma2server?) mentioned in the readme.. I'm not sure if its needed but I also copied the Common folder from my installation to the server since it has pbos too. You might also try deleting the configuration files (arma2oa.cfg and player/player.arma2oaprofile) that the server creates when running for the first time.

Anyone know the deal with the \Common folder on a A2:CO installation?

Does it replace the A2 \Addons folder if you're only running A2OA binaries?

I already managed to fix the problem, but you're right about this folder "expansion".

Running ". /install" change all files and folders with capital letters in lowercase, but also confuses the directory "expansion" (adds another directory "expansion" with only one file inside and didn't change capital letters of original "expansion" subdirectories). I had to merge two folders in one, rename few folders and now everything works fine.

I guess this is a bug in the installer script.

Thanks for your reply!

this situation is what i would call a dog's breakfast...

i will soon be getting my copy of combined ops and will have to upgrade a linux server from arma2 to oa. i am not looking forward to it when there are no clear instructions.

Is there anybody know how to setup the linux server to use multicore ?

My linux server don't use multicore (the same occure with -cpucount parameter).

See screenshot :

Main PID use 99% of the core number 4.

The affinity of other thread (in color) have been manualy set on other core. Threads don't use cpu instead of main PID (..)

The same problem... The server uses only 1 core. There is any decision?

Server configuration: Intel® Core™ i7-920 Quad-Core, 8 GB DDR3 RAM

Don't wonna be impatient, but just reminding that there're still some linux guys out here who would love to have a linux 1.54 server as well. ;)

Thought checking this board would be enough, especially because you guys were announcing each linux server this way ever since.

But thanks for the link anyway, Maruk. I wouldn’t have found the download for the binary on the 4th place in your game update list (even if i'd checked arma2.com) ;)

No, that's not needed.

Looks like one of the config files is incorrect, causing the server to quit during startup.

Perhaps you can check your config files or post them here.

ah yes. looks like i indeed either screwed up permissions and/or an edit in my config files. thanks for the prod in the right direction.
