Hi, I put together a script that allows players to choose where the mission AO is going to be. Mark.sqf Works great on local hosted multiplayer, but when it is run on a dedicated server it doesn't connect with EOS and no enemies spawn. I have been through this "not working on a dedicated server" a lot lately and i think "call EOS_Spawn" has something to do with it. remoteExecCall is what I am thinking but I don't know how to do. I am totally green on dedicated server script syntax and functionality. I need help. If anyone who has the knowledge and has the time to help I would really appreciate an explanation and a rewrite on the script to get it functional on a dedicated server.

Hi, I am having a dedicated server issue where I , my character P_1, loses its support calls if I drop to the lobby or log out. The support requester module doesn't have an expression field, so I am lost. I have researched this issue and found a script that one would add to the init.sqf that transfers the support calls when a player teamswitches: Am I on the right track with thinking this is a teamswitch/ transfer supports issue? Please help me.

INTRO FAST2 is an extensive rewrite of FAST, which was a project I started to help automate and speed up the deployment of Arma 3 servers on Windows. The UI needed updating and the code was messy and inefficient. This new and hopefully improved version has more features and better stability than FAST. Thanks go out to all the guys who helped test this version before release with special mentions to Kju and JamieKG for their continuous bug reports and testing. Also, to BI for giving us an awesome game to play with and break. IMAGES DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION LATEST VERSION SETUP & INSTALLATION Follow the instructions on the Wiki.

I have recently created a local server (just hosting from the server browser), this server has some scripts that i don't want to expose to the player (due to them stealing it). I found out you can use the profileNamespace to save data to the profile of the player and as such i am able to store strings, arrays and stuff like that. My problem arises after i try to save scripts into the namespace -> saving them using the saveProfileNamespace (script is callable and is fine so far) -> shutting down the server after finishing playing. Now, when i start the server i am able to load the variables from the namespace and use them, but i can't call\spawn code that i stored inside the profile namespace as it raises this error: Global namespace not passed during: hint "test" Error Local variable in global space in order for you to replicate do the following: 1. start the debug console in an editor mission 2. enter these 2 lines: profileNamespace setVariable ["testFunction",{hint "test";}]; saveProfileNamespace; 3. restart the game 4. start the debug console again 5. enter this line: [] spawn (profileNamespace getVariable "testFunction"); 6. wonder desperately why the function isn't being executed

Ok, I've struggled with this for awhile now and am pretty sure my issue is something small that I'm just not seeing. I just want some fresh eyes to look over my work and tell me what they see. The issue is that my custom difficulty settings don't seem to take. The server comes up fine, people can join, and mods are working great. But I can't get my FCserver.Arma3Profile to be read by the game (I think). When ever I start a mission on custom difficulty I get a default template instead of my settings. This is a Linux server (Ubuntu 18.10) Startup Script: ./arma3server -config=FC.cfg -name=FCserver "-mod=mods/@ace;mods/@ace_compat1;mods/@ace_compat2;mods/@ace_c... File path to Arma Server: gameserver/server/arma File path to Arma 3 - Other Profiles / Arma 3 folders: gameserver/.local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles gameserver/.local/share/Arma 3 Inside Arma 3 - Other Profiles is the FCserver folder it contains 2 files and 1 folder: FCserver.Arma3Profile <--- (To my understanding this is the difficulty file) FCserver.vars.Arma3Profile <---(Don't know what this does) Saved <--- (Folder with some steam stuff in it) The FCserver.Arma3Profile was generated by the server automatically, then edited by me (I stole it from the community wiki).

Hello everybody, I googled for a long time but found nothing.. I've created a multiplayer mission and need a savegame for a daily server restart. Player data and vehicles do not need to be saved. I have to save team points and captured cities (sector modul, already triggered..). Is anyone aware of a possibility? I once played the mission overthrow. There was a way to save "Persistent Save" and "Load Persistent Save" something would be nice. best regards

Hello, I'm trying to use inidbi2 to save the progress of my server, because the mission I'm doing is very long (domination by xeno), and I have no way to leave the server on all the time, but I'm very inexperienced creating servers, so I do not understand how to put this tool on my server, could someone help me? inidbi2:

Hello all, I have been having this problem on and off throughout my time playing vanilla and modded ARMA in the two game-modes that I predominantly play (I&A and Zeus). However, after ARMA shifted to the x64 platform I stopped having random CTDs when playing vanilla but the problem for modded gameplay still exists - noticeably, the problem ONLY ever arises when I am in an air vehicle. I could be on the server for 3 hrs as infantry, in a ground vehicle and I will experience no issues whatsoever in my modded server (or any public server for that matter), but If I spend anywhere between 10 - 30 minutes in a Ghosthawk/Kajman/A64D/Mi8/Blackfish/Y32 (basically any vanilla or modded helicopter or VTOL) I will CTD. The error I get on the server is the generic Steam Authenticaton Failure. This problem is a sort of carry-over from my previous thread 3 months ago with the only difference been that it a different gamemode (Antistasi 1.8.0) been played on a dedicated server at home (the server is hosted on a different PC) and I am the only client affected. None of my friends have experienced this issue on the server as they primarily don't fly any air vehicles but as I occasionally do provide transport/CAS, I am always subjected to this issue. -------------------SYSTEM SPECS---------------------------------- Win10 i7-8700K CPU 16GB RAM (x2 8Gb @ 2133) 1080Ti Graphics card ---------------Arma 3 Steam Startup Parameters---------------- -malloc=system -----------------------MODS----------------------------------------- CBA_A3 RHSUSAF RHSAFREF RHSGREF ShackTac User Interface Taskforce Arrowhead Radio (beta) Blastcore - Phoenix Unofficial Phoenix Upload JSRS Soundmod JSRS Soundmod - AFREF Soundpack JSRS Soundmod - GREF Soundpack JSRS Soundmod - USAF Soundpack JSRS Soundmod - Reloading Sounds ------------------------Attached RPT(s)--------------------- https://justpaste.it/50t4x https://justpaste.it/3zngh https://justpaste.it/6vrs1 https://justpaste.it/4pdtg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It has to be said that while the issue mentioned in the previous thread was resolved by removing the JSRS mod, I wanted to check if the RPT files show any errors related to that mod that could be triggering the CTD this time around -or- if there is any clue as to what might be causing this issue altogether. It is also worth nothing that when we first started playing, the server mods only consisted from CBA_A3 to Taskforce Radio (the last 2 mods were added 2 weeks ago) and I did not experience any CTDs when playing with those original mods; that said during that initial period I was not in the cockpit long enough to trigger the CTD as it usually takes AT LEAST ~ 10-15 minutes before I get struck by one. Anyhelp or insight would greatly be appreciated. Thanks again.

Hello everyone, my name is Prohorov Ilja and i do have a problem with an Arma 3 server hosted by Overhosting.ru I'm not getting kicked from a server, but i'm getting stuck on a loading screen forever.

Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time. I have now spent a good while in attempts to troubleshoot a particular issue with my dedicated server. As the title of this topic says, I have an inventory issue, and far as I know .. I have no modules or code lines that should prevent taking inventory from units on my server. In the Eden Editor, everything works fine, I can pick up any piece of equipment that I choose to, but when I upload the mission on my server .. some items I can pick up and some items refuse to be picked up. I have tried dragging them to the ground as well, but despite many different attempts I have not managed to solve this issue. I did not manage to find any other topics on this matter, only people who seek to restrict players from looting, but in my case it is the opposite .. players are unable to pick up items that they should be able to. The server should have all the latest versions on my mods, the server files are updated and validated. Does anyone know how to proceed with a matter as this? Thanks in advance.

Hey, I'm wondering if i can start a dedicated server on a cloud server (like bluehost, a2 hosting...), I want to use also for teamspeak and maybe a website, do you guys know if it's do-able, too complicated, not worth the price.... If anybody knows a tutorial for doing such a thing too i'd be very grateful if you share it with me. Thank you so much :)

Hi all, a CUP error seems to be killing my mod init line, has anyone seen this error/know what I can do to fix it? This is my first dedi server. Thanks for the help!

I've setup a dedi server on a home PC (using TADST) to run antistasi 1.8.0 with a headless client. When running as admin, I can see the headless client (HC1) connected to the headdless client slot in the 'virtual' lobby (https://i.imgur.com/9Amq1Pr.jpg) and HC1 is also listed in the players list -however- despite this I am somewhat uncertain if the HC is configured properly as in game when checking the HC AI load info I get this result (https://imgur.com/Tam1upz). Now I have no idea if this is completely normal or if this is a sign the HC is not configured properly but I suspect that the HC AI should = the total number of AI (in this example it should read HC 5 AI?) If anyone playing Antistasi can confirm/refute this that would be amazing. Some additional info/questions about the headless client: When running the .bat file for the headless client the console window pops out the following messages :- At no point does the profile "HC1" complete loading, instead this message stays throughout the mission and I am concerned that this is yet another sign the HC is not setup/configured properly. Can anyone confirm if this is an error or not, is there a next step in the process? //Additional info: My server config.cfg has the following: headlessClients[] = {127.0.0.1} localClients[] = {127.0.0.1) battleyeLicense = 1; .bat file contains: start /min "" "D:\A3Test server\arma3server_x64.exe" -client -connect=127.0.0.1 -port=2302 -mod=@CBA_A3;@RHSAFRF;@RHSUSAF That's about it, anyone willing to confirm if this is all good or not is much appreciated. Thank yall for your time!

I am unable to see the server, even though I have port forwarded 2301, 2302, 2303 and 2304 UDP and TCP. I have set a mission file and the server loads fine. Running on win10 x64 running x32 arma 3. When I run the server through this: http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress/v0001?addr=123.456.789.0&format=xml The server is being ran from a different network to me and I can remote access it with no issues using the same IP. I am trying to use 2302 as the connection port as specified in the launch parameters. The server worked with these settings for a week before it stopped working after a restart about 2 weeks ago now.

I was wondering if there is any way to require data from .json files inside q .sqf file. Or anything that covers that functionallity. The thing is: when a player buy a new custom loadout on the website, a post request is made with his ID to a file. Then, the if statemant checks the json file to watch for the player ID instead to watch for it on the array. the execVM function can do this? there is other way? Thank you all. //Default way for doing this if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["456789123"]) then { //Donators: Nobody DefaultMagazines = [{custom_items}]; DefaultWeapons = [{custom_items}]; DefaultBackpack = "{custom_item}"; DefaultBackpackWeapon = "{custom_item}"; }; //Exepected way loadout.sqf if ((getPlayerUID player) in {file.json} ) then { //Donators: Nobody DefaultMagazines = [{custom_items}]; DefaultWeapons = [{custom_items}]; DefaultBackpack = "{custom_item}"; DefaultBackpackWeapon = "{custom_item}"; }; //JSON with the buyers ID's file.json {[ '123456789','987654321', '159753468',..... ]}

I have stumbled across an issue with the mission I am working on for my server, it works really well once tested on my client and in the editor. However, once I upload it for testing on the dedicated server, the mission goes wild. It makes units fall down through the ground after you spawn in and vehicles makes flips, they explode and start burning all across the map. Units and vehicles are affected, not static objects such as sandbags. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this issue? It really confuse me, because to my knowledge, there is nothing obvious that should be causing this issue. The units across the map keeps flipping up and down beneath the ground like this. None of my other missions behave in this way, I assume it is mission related?

Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time. I have now spent quite a lot of time going through the forums and have a lot of experience with mission making and server management myself, however I have a query to anyone who might know more than me on this particular matter. Running a dedicated server and i am trying to make respawning work on the server in a particular behavior; Been looking for the following: - Respawn inside a particular vehicle on dedicated server, not on the ground. - Respawn countdown/timer. - Something like a spectator camera when you are waiting for the countdown/timer (watching a black screen or a map screen is not that fun, more fun to watch other players you play with in the same team/side). I have been trying to tackle this forever, but the respawn system in the editor seem to only work with respawning on the ground not in a vehicle. It works in the editor, but when I run it in the dedicated server everything glitches and blows up, and the respawn vehicle falls deep below the map you can't interact with it only as zeus. I understand a dedicated server needs external files such as a Description file for this. Does anyone know any scripts or how I can make this work? Cheers. --------------- EDIT: I managed to set up a file called OnPlayerRespawn with the following code and it works: player assignAsCargo heli1; player moveInCargo heli1; However, I can't figure out how to make a respawn timer for it or make a spectator camera for the code. Right now the second a player die they instantly respawn inside the vehicle. Any suggestions? --------------- EDIT 2: After hearing I can syncronize the respawn module simply with an empty vehicle, I am having a persistent issue that I have not managed to solve as of yet on my own. But the respawn window is empty, it says disabled and I get no options to choose from. An error that says at the bottom left too. https://i.gyazo.com/f6de357a48cb5f545a12ca521ca4bc01.png

Hi, I am writing this topic to find some help about a Strange problem that I have since approximately 5 months I used to run a private server between me and my friends to have fun but now I can't … I run the server like Always but none of my friends can see my server… So I am searching why I can't make a server anymore like before. I let you some screens to show you how I was Always hosting my server. Thanks for your help, Dr.Jeff.
