So recently I switched over to the arma3server.exe just like most dedi server owners. One of the things I was anticipating was server console logging. Initially I was disappointed to find there were none in my Arma root by default. I searched both old and new posts all over the web and was able to figure it out. I compiled the instructions to get it done and felt it would be usefull for other server owners who don't know as well. This is something that should be more strait forward for server owners, so here is my attempt at doing so. Note that I used the steam updater batch file that is out there to download my files directly from steam via command line, and the server_console.log & .rpt files were not included, nor did they generate on their own. PLEASE NOTE: Default folder location is C:\Users\YOURPROFILENAME\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha Now if you use the arma3server.exe you can get server_console.log which has a list of all the GUIDs and other helpful admin info. It also creates additional files including .rpt files. If you follow the instructions below, the rest of the files will auto-create themselves when you launch the server. Create server_console.log & .rpt (For Use with arma3server.exe Servers) create an additional folder named "profiles" in your arma3 root. Example: c:\games\Arma3\profiles add -names -profiles=profiles to your Server Launch parameters. Example: C:\Servers\ARMA3\arma3server.exe -name -profiles=profiles -config=server_.cfg -cfg=basic.cfg Next time you launch the server files will automatically be created like image below. ENJOY!

This Mission is outdated. Needs severe updating to function. The Mission has been further developed by other communities and moved over to MySQL DB saving. The two communities actively developing won't share the DB or files in hopes to monopolize on donations for their communities. While numerous other communities are attempting to update this mission, to be blunt, shit ain't easy.

@nuxil, in getting the TS3 setup config done, I keep getting Login Failures when using my TS3 serveradmin creds. Should I make a unique user for this? and do you know of any communication blocks that could potentially be enabled via TS3 by default? BEC see's TS3 via query, just can't maintain the log in...

All I want is a copy of the blank DB. All most of us need really.

Yay!! it works. Ok so I am going to post this here. Cause it was crucial to my resolution. Additionally it's a total newb error, and yet I "want" to say I'm no server admin newb, but yes I made this error. Basically if I did, then other people are doing it for sure..... When you updated your server last and included BattlEye, you need to also make your "BEserver.cfg" file. It is very simple to do and you can follow these instructions off the wiki http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BattlEye#Sample_beserver.cfg Long story short, once you define your RCon PW you are good to go. Mainly the reason why you have to define your path to the BE folder in the Config.cfg for BEC. xD "Triple Face-Palm" Thanks again nuxil for the great support , even if they're stupid questions at times. I'll be pitching a donation ur way.

Hey that worked! Now Bec sees the server at least. Now gettting this error Making progress for sure though!

I completely removed my starting batch files from the equation. Still get the "Waiting for Server". I've verified my BE path, tried local & public ip's. Scaled down the Config.cfg to make sure no errors. Updated and reinstalled twice to 1.55 Verified my firewall had exception for Bec.exe FFS THIS IS MAKING ME CRAZY

c1aw, I know that I got the same error, so I dropped Bans.txt into my BattlEye folder (Arma3\BattlEye). Didn't show up there after. I'm assuming you already have that done but still having issues with it being visible. In the event that you haven't, just though I mention it since it got rid of the error for me.

Hey guys, I'm rocking v1.54 and I'm getting the "Waiting for server startup" Here's an example of my config, and I currently get no errors.

Change the name of your server.cfg to something random like server198273912379.cfg or try even ilovetacos.cfg If you leave it as server.cfg, they have ways to get that file and then see your server PW. That's how they're doing it.

Copy that.

Oh I know. Was shooting for 1 of 3 maybe ;) All good in the hood Also worth mentioning, we cleared our ban list for this server. So it's completely empty atm. We had a list from one of our other servers, and on RP had only banned one dude who wanted to get cray cray cause he got frozen and I didn't have time to put up with his BS at that very moment. You've been unbanned just so you know. Note no one should take the RP aspect too seriously just yet since this mod isn't finished. There WILL be a complete refresh including funds upon "Official Launch" of this mission on our server, so don't feel bad if you lose EVERYTHING in the time being. We'll be more then happy to hand out funds in-game so you can get a feel for the construction tools etc. Server is dead most of the time, but every evening around 9PM PST USA I am on getting familiar with the Mission to document out everything for the community upon launch. Hope to see some of you out there including the Super-Villain who wasted no time at stealing a cop car. lulz

:( , :( , and................ :(

I forgot to ask, and I'll know later when i get on, but is structure saving enabled? I noticed the construction editor acknowledges what "I" placed only and will allow me to move/edit etc. So there is some sort of memorization and I'm hopeful that it is or will cover saving of construction projects. Also I know you were going to use garages to save vehicles, I think it may just be better to use helipads to save vehicles. Covers air/land vehicles. Boats are little more difficult but I would assume you would use a hangar in water to cover boats. Just a thought...

Yes, we spawned some in for the photo :)

If you're getting hit with that hack then you must have NO antihacks whatsoever. That is original off Shadow's Hack menu and it one of the more popular hack menu's out there like wookies & others. Get some antihacks, there is a thread for em somewhere on here. Not too hard to implement either. "Having a server without antihacks is like having sex without protection" Eventually u will get burned

Tonight at 9PM we'll be hosting a kick off as we begin building on our Dedicated server. Anyone who's interested is welcome to join in. This is the very beginning of something big. We'll be another dedicated host of this mission and we encourage those interested to join. Server info in the sig below.

Hey everyone. Wanted to spread the word about GangstaGaming's new Wasteland Server. We're recruiting some new players in hopes to build our community. We've been around for a few years with Arma 2 & DayZ servers under a different name MCL33T. We've recently re-branded and are looking to find some players who need a good,reliable home. Come check us out on our site, or simply just join the server ;D If you visit the server, save your inventory once, and then post "Gimme Mah MONEY!" below, we'll hook you up with $2000 in-game. Check us out and help spread the word about our Forth of July Kick Off event!

Was one of those things back on Arma 2 Wasteland that I always wanted. I see too that the GoT version which alot of this version is based off of will now have persistant building saves between restarts. Should be in version 2.3 so we'll be able to benefit from alot of that. This mission is obviously a cut and chop of alot of different mission versions out there atm, just like Wasteland is to begin with.

We definitely aren't the first, but we are damn proud to have the features.

We're up to date if anyone wants to check it out

Up to date once again :D

Current build from 9 hours ago is up and live. Visit the IP in my signature below. I'll be keeping this mission running 24/7 on this ip/port now. You can join anytime. Current build info will be indicated in the server list.
