=MIA= is a new clan with a rather large base area set up for 40 man Takistan domination. At MIA, we believe that anybody can fly (not just piliots), and our admins don't have time to unlock vehicles all the time (since they like playing the game to) so all of our 137 vehicles are already unlocked. We are looking for dedicated players that want to enjoy the game. Since opening the server 2 weeks ago we have gained a very small following, but wish to increase our numbers. So if your looking for a server that allows you to fly (member or not), utilize basically any vehicle, and still frowns on morons that just like to Tk; give =MIA= a look. At =MIA=, you can play the game as intended, without all the restrictions you have come to expect. Point your filter to : =MIA= Co-40 Domination West Takistan Hope to see you there.

I am able to get my rcon to connect to my server, but I cant get it to actually launch my domination map. It only seems to launch if I log into the game. The game will remain persistent as long as somebody is in the game, but the second the game becomes empty it goes right back into "creating" stage, thus restarting the map once somebody joins. I don't like having to stay logged in just to keep everything running. Here is my config: /// // DefconServers.com ArmA2 server configuration file // by S.Tope, 9th July 2009. http://www.defconservers.com // // Password for private servers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Makes paying $85 a month for a server that can't be used seem worth it.

is there another way to update my DefconServer to 1.62? Currently 1.60 is all they are offering, and I kind of want to get it back up and running. Wasn't sure if there was a manual way of doing this?

I recently got a 40 slot server from defcon, and after reading: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg I was able to get the basics of the server setup. All of the OA missions can be accessed and run on my server, but none of my user made missions seem to be working. My domination maps cause error messages if I try to add them into the rotation. Is user made map coding for the cfg file different? I havent found a tutorial for user made mp maps. Currently the server will only run: Hike In TheHills Laser Show Littlebird One Shot One Kill Steel Panthers Mountain Warfare Mountain Warfare 3-Sided Urban Warfare Sector Control Dogfighters Hunters Hunted I uploaded the pbo files for the maps I made into my mpmissions folder on defcon's site, but i guess i just don't understand what to with them beyond that point.

I actually started going through the old threads. Eventually found what I was looking for. Thanks though http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?135298-Loading-screens&highlight=loadscreen

Nothing that they had in the map is the same. I only used their map for the purposes of getting the latest domination 2 map type. The base they had is nothing like what they created, its not even in the same location, i am moved it to the northern airbase in Takistan instead of the the southern airfield. I created member only areas, Changed all the unit types. The entire thing was changed.

Yeah I just want to change the loading screen. I have a paa image already created that I want to use. I just want to get their clan image removed so I can add mine instead. The loading screen shows their image currently for about 15 seconds, and than you go to the briefing screen.

So I unpacked someone else's pbo file and started making my own changes and additions to the map. I have the mission completed with my changes, but I don't know how to remove their clan picture at the intro. I want to remove their's and put mine in it's place to make the map and mission truely mine. Any help would be appreciated. I also apologize if this has been posted, the only threads I was seeing was for adding video intros.
