Greetings all, I've searched the forums, but can't find a post that explains this issue. I have found many posts about it, but they get one or two replies with no solution that I could find. I ran Anyway, I'm trying to run ArmA2 and ArmA2OA on a dedicated CentOS server I have. I have moved all the files from my steam directory to my linux machine using WinSCP. I put them into an arma2 and arma2arrowhead directory respectively. I downloaded the most recent official versions listed on the wiki for the linux server and extracted them. It seems to install fine, saying roughly 200 files converted for both. I ran the tolower too. When I try to run the ArmA2 server, I get: Dedicated host created. BattlEye Server: Initialized (1.116) Host identity created. Segmentation fault With the ArmA2OA server, I get a huge list of missing files, ending with: Warning: preNLOD format in object Very old object loaded. Warning Message: Bad file format (c4). Segmentation fault. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, I figured out the reason I had two battleye folders, one caps and one not...but as Killswitch said, the caps one doesnt seem to be needed. I also executed the chmod and the chcon commands as suggested. Still isn't running properly. Before I create a special account just to run this one program, can anyone explain why it shouldn't be run in root? I plan to set it up to auto start on power up after loss of power and reboot and it's just more to deal with if I have multiple accounts. What I get now when I execute ./arma2server start is... [root@vladserver arma2]# ./arma2server start Starting ArmA 2 server... ./arma2server: line 31: ./home/games/arma2/2302.run: No such file or directory [root@vladserver arma2]# nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout [root@vladserver arma2]# ./arma2server status Server should not be running... [root@vladserver arma2]# So...what the heck is 2302.run??!?

Alright, sorry I've been busy working. I'll give this stuff a shot tomorrow. The third party download was what the forum post you posted links to. It eventually takes you to: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=20&id=750%3Aarma-2-linux-standalone-server-1-10〈=en ...and that karman.cc site is listed there. Hmm...I was wondering if I needed to chmod the perms, as I've had to do that for other games, but I hadn't seen that anywhere in any of the wiki. Anyway, I'll try again tomorrow and update! Thanks for the help so far guys!

Nice! Just donated $20, but what of saves and suspends!?! Hahha. I'm currently hosting listening servers until I can figure out how to make these steam libraries run on my linux server and it'd be nice if we didn't have to restart every time we quit for an evening. Another question, are the zombies supposed to have different skins? Right now they just look like normal NPCs, but run fast, make scary sounds, etc. I like the fact that they open their mouths when they make the noises btw..nice touch.

Alright, I'm still lost. I thought I had it, but if I did I mucked it up again somehow. So I'm going to do a fresh ftp transfer and explain exactly what I'm doing in the hopes you can point out where I'm failing. I'm thinking the issue is in the config file. I run everything from root, the server is physically located at my house, and I won't be running it from another account nor giving anyone else access to the system. I haven't had any issues prior to this game, so if there is a specific issue with using root let me know. The server is only for gaming purposes and a learning experience. First off, I log in and I execute commands as follows: [root@vladserver /]# cd /home/games/ [root@vladserver games]# mkdir arma2 [root@vladserver games]# mkdir arma2oa Then I open WinSCP and access the files at D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2\ and move the contents of the folder over to the \home\games\arma2\ directory on the server. After that I go to D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\ and move the contents of the folder over to \home\games\arma2oa Closed WinSCP and accessed the terminal again, executing the following commands: [root@vladserver /]# cd /home/games/arma2/ [root@vladserver arma2]# wget http://kamran.cc/ARMA2/a2-server-1.10.80666.tar.bz2 [root@vladserver arma2]# tar -xjf a2-server-1.10.80666.tar.bz2 [root@vladserver arma2]# cd /home/games/arma2oa [root@vladserver arma2oa]# wget ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/a2oa-server-1.60.93400.tar.bz2 [root@vladserver arma2oa]# tar -xjf a2oa-server-1.60.93400.tar.bz2 Which downloads the two linux servers and extracts them in their respective directories. This much I understand pretty well. I head back to the arma2 directory and run the install program: [root@vladserver /]# cd /home/games/arma2/ [root@vladserver arma2]# ./install ArmA 2 Linux Dedicated Server 1.10 Converting ArmA 2 directory: 156 file-names were converted ArmA 2 server was installed. [root@vladserver arma2]# Then I run vim: [root@vladserver arma2]#vim arma2server And modify the file at the ARMA_DIR line: #======================================================================= #======== CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS ======== #======== MUST BE EDITED MANUALLY TO FIT YOUR SYSTEM PARAMETERS ======== #======================================================================= ARMA_DIR=/home/games/arma2 CONFIG=server.cfg PORT=2302 PIDFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.pid RUNFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.run LOGFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/log.${PORT}.txt SERVER=${ARMA_DIR}/server #======================================================================= And save the file with ":wq" After that, I attempt to run the server just to see if it's working: [root@vladserver arma2]# ./server 16:14:29 Dedicated host created. 16:14:30 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.116) 16:14:30 Host identity created. Segmentation fault [root@vladserver arma2]# I noticed that there are two battleye directories. One is capped, as are the files inside it. [root@vladserver arma2]# dir 33910_install.vdf arma2server directx player a2-server-1.10.80666.tar.bz2 battleye dta readme.txt addons BattlEye install server arma2.cfg besetup keys tolower arma2.changelog109 bis.url missions tolower.c arma2_ogg.cmd checkfilelist.lst mpmissions [root@vladserver arma2]# cd BattlEye [root@vladserver BattlEye]# dir BEClient.dll BEServer.dll UninstallBE.csv UnInstallBE.exe UnInstallBE.log [root@vladserver BattlEye]# I figured I'd stop at Arma2 and bring it to you. Once I can get that working I'll go after Arma2OA and then CO. P.S. I tried to use the comments for this post but it kept failing to post when I did.

I did copy all the content over. Not sure what you're suggesting? It may be a config file I'm missing or not editing? Any idea which and where?

Some friends talked me into playing DayZ and I thought 'meh, has potential...but needs work, and I don't enjoy getting shot in the back while fighting zombies for no reason'. So I searched for zombie mods...and low and behold, I find yours!!! Played it some tonight, and I'm very impressed. To which I say... That said, a few questions... Why the heck can zombies trash my vehicle? At most I could see them flattening the tires...leaving me in an immobile car surrounded by zombies...hahah. Or perhaps flatten the tires quickly and damage the hull a lot more slowly? Is there any way to turn the save/suspend feature on? I saw someone ask this but didnt see an answer in the threads. Sorry if it's been answered already. Lastly, why are there random desks in the road once in awhile?!?

Ok tried all that, with no change. I already had gcc installed previously. I didn't have the directory set up in the config file, that was a mistake you pointed out, but it didn't change anything. I run most things as root, because I set them up to start/restart on reboot and the server is in my house sitting next to my desktop. Does that make any difference? Hmm hmm hmm...that was for Arrowhead. I'll go check out Vanilla and report back, because I didn't get the 100 some odd missing file errors.

Do you mean which version of the server software? For A2 its v1.10.80666, and for A2OA its v1.60.87589. I moved a copy of the A2 contents from steam into a folder called /home/games/arma2/ on my server. I also moved a copy of the A2OA contents from steam into a folder called /home/games/arma2arrowhead/ The linux version is CentOS 32bit. I used the tolower program, and it said it fixed one file. The folders should be combined? So they aren't supposed to be in separate directories?
