Tophe's ArmA2 Dedicated Server Tool (TA2DST)

[Tophe]

Wow I just downloaded this and created my first dedicated server. I didn't think it could be so easy! I think you've got me back into this games multiplayer community Tophe. One question though: Does it work with the Warfare BE Parameters config that you know of? It seems the parameters space in your tool only has one line I can write in...

That's great! Thanks!
The parameters field is only for extra server parameters (like -cpucount, -exThreads etc).
I'm not sure which ones apply to the dedicated server exe, so I added that field.

Mission parameters is not possible to set in TA2DST yet.
I hope to release version 1.3 tonight, then I'll start working on some kind of mission parameter system for v1.4. Many have asked for it.

Cheers.

But under the difficulty setting where it says AI skill etc if I leave it at 0.00 should the AI really act like tards? I mean they shoot 90 degrees from me and over my head even if I am sat on top of them.

Thanks

Well yeah, at 0.00 they're pretty much stupid as bricks.
Set it to 1.00 for comparison.

Hi there I set the AI precision to 1.00 still could not hit a brick wall.

Could it be the latest BETA 77819 server.exe?.

EDIT

Ok I set the AI skill and precision to 1.00 and seems ok.

I think this tool is awsome but really default AI skill etc set to 0.00 (brick mode).

I really cant imagine I am the only one who has had this problem or did I hide a problem else where setting the skill level to 1.00?.

Please confirm that the skill level HAS to be set in your tool or they will be bricks?.
So maybe have the app default the AI skill and precision to at least 0.25 or some thing?.

Oh and if it does need to be set whats the best settings for balanced play?.

Cheers matey

The tool sets the default game values (between 0.3 and 1, depending on the difficulty setting).
So unless you did something wrong, or set them to 0 yourself you won't have to do anything.

Default values are pretty good for balanced gameplay.
Try deleting the TA2DST folder in the Arma folder to have it generate a new default file.

Hey there.

If I forget to select a difficulty setting in the missions select screen in ARMA2 then no matter what I set the AI at in your tool it sets em to brick wall mode hahaha.

Dont know if creating a dedi server the normal way does this or not?.

thanks
