edit: sorry i posted in wrong forum, could a mod move it please? a clan mate is looking to try the oa demo before buying the full game, am having trouble finding the latest demo patch can anyone help?cheers

ace doesnt work on linux i think, i could be wrong though

ok, i was asking because a clan mate got the demo through steam. once in game its says something about a patch hence this post. i was also told once the demo was patched it could join all mp servers, it would just be a very low res version?

hi am looking for a chinook lift script that will work on domination 2, any helps appreciated, i have tryed searching

Teamspeak @ celticalliance.com password: axegunorsword We are looking to get a few players on over weekend to stress test the server, any helps appreciated, all welcome :D Server is runing domination 2, you might need A2CO_ACR_LITE to join the server, can find it at http://www.arma2.com/supply/game-updates

gonna try again today, if you play domination 2 join ;) edit: now runing domination 2 with no dlc

As a clan we have just started playing Arma2 OA, our server is now live and could use a few more players joining. Its early days for the server, no doubt will be a few tweaks in next few days. All welcome at Website@ http://www.celticalliance.com Teamspeak @ celticalliance.com password: axegunorsword We are looking to get a few players on over weekend to stress test the server, all welcome :D Server is runing domination 2, you might need A2CO_ACR_LITE to join the server, can find it at http://www.arma2.com/supply/game-updates

At the moment we have domination 2 runing on the server, members have asked for a couple edits that will improve the server that they have seen on other servers. Looking for help to get the chinook lifting tanks, also making the ammo box at base bigger and to shorten the teleport time. Any help would be appreciated, cheers

ok mate thanks

Hey, i think this script is what i need for domination 2, i need the chinook to lift tanks.. do i add the files to mpmissions or mpmission/co40_Domination.Takistan thanks

Ive been searching for a few hours now looking into options to run on our clan server. A clan mate has recommended runing domination coop, to be honest after searching a fair bit am still not 100% on how setup the missions/installl etc so if anyone can help or point me in the right direction for a good tutorial it would be appreciated. Cheers

problem fixed, main issue was i had was fine name had to be all lower case on linux, also make sure you run the right file/mission, i.e oa only if your server doesnt run ace etc. hope that helps the next person that searchs

could anyone least tell me if this looks ok? // MISSIONS CYCLE (see below) class Missions { class COOP_Domination_2_28A2_West_ACE_OA { template="co@30_Domination_2_28A2_West_AI_ACE_OA.Takistan"; difficulty="regular"; }; }; when i try to connect i see server message, my ping in red at top right but only a black screen

I was having a read over http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?121438-How-to-secure-Your-server-Read-here! Id like to make sure my settings are correct hence this post, since moving/copying files battle eye is off even though its set to one and the server name doesnt show, instead it shows domain name. Ive added this to the arma2oaserver script OTHERPARAMS="-beta=expansion/beta;expansion/beta/expansion -cfg=./arma2.cfg -cpucount=2 -maxMem=1500 -bepath=/home/aaa/battleye112/beserver.so -profiles=/home/aaa/players112 -config=/home/aaa./server112.cfg" Ive renamed the original files and also copyed them over to a new directory keeping the original ones were there are. Is the above correct?

EDIT: got the server up and runing thanks to redshirt_ensign :D

am sure its all set correct ---------- Post added at 16:34 ---------- Previous post was at 15:27 ---------- ok mate ive reinstalled etc and still have the same problem

Your server install method was alittle different from mine mate, ive followed yoru intructions and have the same message when i start the server nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout and also same in log: ./arma2oaserver: line 109: /home/arma2oa/server: No such file or directory WATCHDOG (1758): [Fri Apr 19 13:02:57 MSK 2013] Server died, waiting to restart...

Hi guys ive changed OS etc now to try get this arma server finaly runing. Am now runing ubuntu 12.04 lts, now my problem is trying to unrar the game files i uploaded. when i use unrar x it get many failed unpacked files. Ive tryed the OS forums for help and no replys, i have spend ages googling for a solution with no luck, am hoping someone here can help me find a solutuion. Thanks

Like many ive had the hastle of uploading my game files to vps server, just wondering would it be possible to install steam on vps then download the arma files? If possible would make a big difference
