Based on NON Steam version

install OA into your A2 directory

Patch A2 to 1.7

Patch OA to 1.52

Set up your server configs ( http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Server_configuration )

Launch the ArmA2OAserver.exe

make sure all your missions include an addon entry to stop OA only clients from joining. (Known issue >> http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=102169 )

Follow-on question (hope you don't mind, nuggetz)

Hi all

We have a couple of dedicated A2 servers running and I've been asked to put up a couple of OA servers to compliment them.

I've uploaded the contents of my OA DVD to our server but when I try to install it it asks for the key. If I enter the key I have (from my personal retail copy) am I likely to cause any issues with duplication? If so, is there a way to get an OA dedicated up and running without having to go through the standard install process?

Apologies for making my first post here a question :o

Providing you run the arma2OAserver.exe, no mate, its the dedicated server.exe and duplication isn't affected by it

Ive done what is listed there but i had to create a shortcut on the dedi box desktop and add the -config=server.cfg command to the shortcut to get it to read the config file.....but i cant see any of the standard ArmA 2 maps ie chenarus isn't there just the OA maps

Custard matey,,, I believe that you havent got ARMA2 installed,,,, only OA and BAF, which means yours is an OA server and not Combined ops.... thats why the Ctf maps I sent you wont work on your server.
