Hello, been looking at servers now for the past day, and I really can't make a decision on which server I should buy. Currently it's out of: https://www.nfoservers.com/order-virtual-dedicated-server.php Six Core or https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/details-servers-range-GAME-id-MC-32.xml I'm looking into creating a 70 slot Altis Life server, a 30-50 Slot Milsim server and possibly a 72 slot SQUAD server (if I still have room, but I do doubt it). Which of the above should I use, or should I find something else entirely? I'm looking into Unmanaged also. Should I go with Linux or Windows? Thanks in advance ;)

Thanks for the detailed reply. About your last paragraph, is there any host providers that do something similar? I have absolutely terrible internet so I couldn't host it myself. Which of the two linked do you think is ideal?

Hello Tonic-_- I want to make a new team along side the civs and cops this team is going to be for gangs; having different gangs in different slots (10 slots per gang) each gang will have their own shop (with the same items) however they cannot visit each other's base and use their shop... I was wondering a few things... How would I set up the team for gangs? How would I divide the slots (would it be like the numbers for the police? if so how would I do this) How would I do individual spawns? Furthermore how would I add separate shops for different ranks of donators? I hope you can help; thanks in advance.

No you run it as a PBO. You dont just drag the folder in. Thats where your problem lies (Well at least I use a PBO and it works fine)

Have you even made them PBO files on your server?

Sorry to ask again, but does anybody know how to add the red circle indicating where your player is when using the map? It's really annoying not knowing where you are :)

How do I enable the red marker of your position? So when you press M you can see your position by a red circle and the direction by a line?

I'm probably doing something wrong however when I press M for map it doesn't show where you are? Basically how do I enable the red marker of your position? - Furthermore how do I add a bank to the map? The one I have doesn't seem to have one?

I will do, thanks. Is there an easy way to find specific people by ID? Say there was a lot of people in the list and i just wanted to filter to that one player? Also is it done by online or if they've ever connected? Thanks for the amazing help.

Wow thanks for the detailed response, you've saved me from raging and giving up xD now to find out how to connect, either I'm doing something wrong or its my host - http://gyazo.com/b5595c6db3ab8be8041bfd97a8570652 Also, do I have to manually put in the ID's etc or does it show from the connected players???

Thanks for the reply. UPDATE - You helped me through steam so everything is sorted. UPDATE 2 - How do you set peoples ranks from the mysql database, for e.g. on Altis Life there's Police etc... Idk if I should be asking this here but It's worth a try I guess :)

Thanks for the reply, I cannot find any logs? I've looked in Arma2NETMySQL and there's nothing in the logs folder, and I have no idea where to look for Arma2NET this is where the two folders are on my gameservers ftp - http://gyazo.com/f811dbfeee535f27b75f84d0ef2014ee

Thanks Tonic and Marker Where do I add new levels (In what file?) and Marker what is the actual command I would use? Also where would I put the command to rank someone up?

I must be doing something wrong... I don't know if it's this that I've set up wrong or Altis Life however the players join and just got a black screen saying "Contacting server for player information" what could be the problem? I have the folders in my servers directory... @Arma2Net = In Main Area Arma2NETMySQLPlugin = In Main Area - http://gyazo.com/bcb7edc2ebde668caf0a0d657353f9e2 = In the folder. I can't think of a reason. Thanks for reading sorry if it's a little brief.

Sorry to bother you; but I need help. "LIMITED help / support will be given with setting up the MySQL side, if you are not willing to put time into reading about MySQL and managing it then stop reading." I fully understand this however I'm new to MySQL in terms of ranking etc and I cannot find any tutorials on the internet; how do I rank players to Cop/Admin etc? I realise that I need their ID however I have no idea where I would put this nor do I have any idea how it would be worded in terms of command. I do need more help, however the above is the most important to me. I'm also having problems about finding out how to make some classes whitelisted and others not, for e.g. you have 2-3 police officers that are public however I don't know how to change them to whitelist only. More so, how do I add more police ranks so I can only make certain guns and vehicles accessible to higher ranks. Thanks for reading.
