I ISO'ed my arma 2 DVD and downloaded my sprocket version of OA and installed it like that on my server. Can I use this "standalone" server hotfix on top of my full install of arma 2 on my server?

this is just binary so just replace over 1.57 one

Thanks, I got all curious and ended up doing that (while backing up the original Exe anyways).

this server build is now obsolete, i suggest to use binaries from beta 76934

updated first post to reflect new release which may interest server admins due to some fixes on security

Where do I find the exe to run a combined ops server? I downloaded the latest patch and applied it to the install on my server, but I don't see an arma2co_server.exe or anything like it.

Do I run it from the regular exe with -server?

Windows dedicated server console window:

Is it possible to show which version your actually using, without opening the rpt-file?

is it possible to extend the view of the window, so that you actually see every addons or error message from the server / client?

is it possible to get a date on each entry in the log-file and / or rpt-file?

according to the wiki (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg), timeStampFormat="short"; or "full"

My public.log
16:27:21 Player NoBrainer connecting.

My server.rpt gives me date and time
2011/02/09, 19:48:01 Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbing\global\radio\female01\cz\cekam.wss'

So I got it on place but not the other.
I can compare the to files looking for errors, but it would be much easier if date and time was added to both logs.

Which version have to use now for run a Combined server with the latest version? a2 oa build 81201?
