Problems with Linux server 1.54.72898 BAF Data file too short

[Problems with Linux server 1.54.72898 BAF Data file too short]

I expect you will need to run the server without the baf folder. The baf lite version is already present in the v1.54 patch, and the high res textures aren't needed for the server.

[Best Way to Check if ArmA2 or OA is Running]

Perhaps another way to check would be to use the info coming from supportInfo. I briefly checked, and for ArmA 2 v1.07 the size of the array (count supportInfo "") returned was 1370, for OA v1.52 it was 1407.

You could even consider doing a search inside the array returned for a command unique to OA (like e.g. AddCamShake), if you don't want to rely on those numbers, e.g. hint STR ("u:addcamshake ARRAY" IN (supportinfo "")) which will return TRUE for OA, FALSE for ArmA 2

[ARMA 2: 1.07 Patch Released!!!]

Thanks. So i need to reinstall the game?

Not unless you had error messages during installation of the patch.

[Operation Arrowhead 1.52 Patch released (includes dedicated server exe)]

But what about the Sprocket version of OA? It still works after the patch?

Yes, that still worked fine after the patch for me.

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

When I use

BattlEye=1;

I get a "server creation failed".

Anyone has been having luck running OA Linux with BE activated?

When I start the server, ./battleye/beserver.so is deleted and I get a "BattlEye initialization failed", followed by failed server creation.

I can confirm this behaviour. I haven't managed to get BE running yet on the OA linux server.

[Do you prefer to beta test in Arrowhead or ArmA 2?]

OA for me as well.

ArmA 2 willl be on its way out, in favor of OA, so I'd prefer to see most resources spent on OA.

[Installed OA - can't defrag my hardisk anymore.]

defraggler has always been my weapon of choice. Does the job quite well, never had any issues.

[Play ArmA 2. Win Prizes]

Congrats to Celery for making it to the #1 spot :)

Thanks to Tanky and everyone else for making this event happen. It's been great fun being part of it!

[Play ArmA 2. Win Prizes]

Yep, definitely good fun. Nice way to close off the ArmA 2 era and move right into OA :)

[ON AIR: Official Soundtrack Operation Arrowhead]

How did you get the soundtrack already? I thought it only came with the game, which is only out in Germany...

You can also download and install a.o. from sprocket. The sound track is in there.

[Play ArmA 2. Win Prizes]

I'll be in late, but I'll be there :)

[1.07 - Linux server]

It's great to see that the OA linux server is planned to be released together with the game itself. A major improvement from the previous games :)

[1.07 in XP Dedicated Server Question.]

I thought you were supposed to add it to the Dedi shortcut ?

You are.

The server is hanging upon reading of the mission, so the server's shortcut has to be adapted.

[dedicated server wont start...]

Try the fix described here (add -exThreads=1 to the start up line).

[Yes or no - do addon MP maps work with 1.07?]

Try the fix described here (add -exThreads=1 to the start up line).

[Dedicated Server for 1.07?]

If you check the ArmA 2 folder on your own PC, you'll find the arma2server.exe v1.07

You can upload that one to your game server.

[Play ArmA 2. Win Prizes]

Enjoyed this round as well; all the side missions worked like a charm!

[Detecting If a Building has Been Destroyed]

PS - is there a guide that gives the names of commands and how they can be used in scritping (say the scripting language alond with syntax?) If so please direct me. Thanks Again!!!!

BIKI to the rescue :)

[Blocking CLASS definitions on player joining]

How about removing the key from the server and generating a new one for your personal testing purposes? The leaked key would be rendered useless this way.

[Dedicated server lots of players disconnecting after connecting]

Are you keeping an eye on server performance (#monitor command)?

[Ubuntu 10.4 dedicated server problems]

There's a MOD defined in your arma2server, which isn't used to start up the server, so the addons aren't loaded.

Should work fine if you change the startup line in your arma2server into something like ${SERVER} >>${LOGFILE} 2>&1 -server -config=${CONFIG} -port=${PORT} -pid=${PIDFILE} -mod=${MOD}

[Ubuntu 10.4 dedicated server problems]

If i login as admin and selct a mission it starts and goes to the map screen, but will boot me out to the lobby when i hit the continue button..

That sounds like the addons aren't loaded on the server. Could either be an issue with filenames (upper/lowercase) or with arma2server not specifying the right mods to load.

Could you post the arma2server (or the command line you use to start the serevr with addons)?

[Ubuntu 10.4 dedicated server problems]

roby@Jagger:~/arma2$ dos2unix arma2server.sh

dos2unix: command not found

possiby is the command "fromdos arma2server.sh"?

..eh..no luck with that either..

fromdos: Unable to access file arma2server.sh

You referenced arma2server (not arma2server.sh) before. so dos2unix arma2server should work, after installing dos2unix

You should be able to install dos2unix by sudo apt-get install tofrodos

[69782 performance and stability feedback]

Still having trouble with hang ups.

Cause of the hang ups is exec of an empty (0 byte) sqs file. Once a comment was added to the empty sqs file (making it no longer empty), the hang ups no longer occurred.

[69782 performance and stability feedback]

Still having trouble with hang ups. Quite reproducible (CTF map when flag is being taken, ArmA2 freezes consistently). I will try to come up with a addon free map that can reproduce the freezes.
