Thanks a lot man.. for those of us more scriptualy challenged I found: http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=59109#59109 and it worked beautifully !!

Hello, I am trying to place objects on the default non-movable carrier (planes, choppers, etc) in the editor. However they will not show up or they fall through the deck and blow up. Also I can't get an AI chopper to land on it. Can anyone explain this to me and how I could fix this ? :confused: Thanks.

Hi, I have seen servers that run Evolution Blue V3 MHQ. Awesome map. Can anyone please post a direct link so that I can download the files so I can run it on my server. Played it , loved it, where the smeg do I get it?

Fixed: The name of the file in the ARMA folder should be saved as "server.cfg" and not renamed in windows to server.cfg. When saved as server.cfg it show up in windows as just "server" (no quotes) Course now I can't connect to the game but that's a different problem....

Ok I am having the same problem.. how did you fix it?

Yes.. typo.. sorry.. heres what I am using: C:\ArmA\arma_server.exe -config=server.cfg -cfg=arma.cfg -profiles=profiles -port=2302 -netlog Combined with: hostname="Rimmer World"; passwordAdmin = "smeg"; password=""; motd[]= { "Have fun play nice and dont be a smeghead!" }; reportingIP="armedass.master.gamespy.com"; motdInterval = 5; voteThreshold = 0.33; voteMissionPlayers = 1; kickduplicate = 1; disableVoN = 1; vonCodecQuality=0; maxPlayers = 30; equalModRequired=0; logFile = "server_console.log"; verifySignatures = 0; persistent = 1; checkfiles[] = {}; onUserConnected="{}"; onUserDisconnected="{}"; doubleIdDetected="{}"; regularCheck = "{}"; onDifferentData = "{}"; onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)"; onHackedData = "kick (_this select 0)"; // Message of The day motd[]= { "Welcome To Rimmer's Server", "Players that Tk, Cheat, hack are considered offensive and shall be banned", "Have fun, play nice and don't be a smeghead.", }; //Cheat detection checkfile=0; //1=slow 0=default onHackedData="kick (_this select 0)"; //auto ban hacked addons onDifferentData="kick (_this select 0)"; //auto kick modified files

No I am using the full un-beta'ed version of the game

well it worked without the quotes.. but thanks, Server name is still the computer name AND now the in game server browser can't see my server

Got it.. thanks man Thread closed.

Yes.. here's what I am using: C:\ArmA\arma_server.exe config=server.cfg -cfg=arma.cfg -profiles=profiles -port=2302 -netlog Heres the server.cfg: // comments are written with "//" in front of them. Hostname="RimmerWorld"; passwordAdmin=bugger; // password to protect admin access reportingIP="armedass.master.gamespy.com"; verifySignatures=0; //Signature Verification broken in 1.08 voteMissionPlayers=1; //amount of players to vote mission after one ends used after map rotation. voteThreshold=0.15; maxPlayers=42; motdInterval=5; kickduplicate=1; // do not allow duplicate id persistent=0; //keeps game server running after players leave 0=off 1=on equalModRequired=0; //Makes Players who join have to have the same mod folder as server to be able to join. LogFile="Logfile_Public.log"; //Von options disableVoN=0; //disable=1 on=0 vonCodecQuality=0; //speek codex 1-10 defult 3 // Message of The day motd[]= { "Welcome To Rimmer's Server", "Players that Tk, Cheat, hack are considered offensive and shall be banned", "Have fun, play nice and don't be a smeghead.", }; //Cheat detection checkfile=0; //1=slow 0=default onHackedData="kick (_this select 0)"; //auto ban hacked addons onDifferentData="kick (_this select 0)"; //auto kick modified files It also won't show the MOTD's either. But the admin login works.

Thanks for the help. I copied and pasted your examples to the files in the folder where the ARMA_Server.exe file is. However .. the server name in the game browser is still the name of the computer and not the name in the server.cfg file. Can anyone help ?

Hi, I am having the same problem. Can't fix it either. Can anyone help?

No I start the server using the ARMA_Server.exe with the extensions in the shortcut -config=server.cfg (etc, etc)

Ok then, here ya go. The server is there, I and others can connect. It's using the computer name as the server name in the game browser "Home PC" not the hostname as seen below and the MOTD's don't work either. // comments are written with "//" in front of them. // // server.cfg // // GLOBAL SETTINGS hostname="Rimmer World"; // The name of the server that shall be displayed in the public server list password=""; // Password for joining, eg connecting to the server passwordAdmin="smeg"; // Password to become server admin. When Youre in ArmaMP and connected to the server, type '#login xyz' reportingIP="armedass.master.gamespy.com"; // This is the default setting.

Thanks for replying.. but that wasnt it. Does a router have anything to do with it? Using: -config=server.cfg -port=2302 and have 2302 opened on the router configuration panel. I can login with the admin password listed in the server.cfg but MOTD and hostname dont work. I got the server.cfg from: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg Still looking for help. Thanks.

Whats with all the chat text generated by the game as you are playing MFCTI ? Would be great if that went away.. ??

Please help: I am trying to set up a server. In the internet game browser the name of the PC shows up instead of the hostname in the server.cfg Please help, it's really annoying to have my server listed as Home PC Thanks in advance! A.J. Rimmer

How about a release date for the patch???

Thanks but... Are you referring to the file called dta.pbo or data.pbo and which folder is this file in?

Ok fantastic!! Woo HOO ! But where do the .paa files go? a readme.txt file with installation instructions would have been very helpful for those of us that aren't quite as omnipotent as others.
