I need help, I got the server to work and all, but when I put the missions in, it don't show up, so I converted it over to PBO's, and it showed up, but when I went into the server to play and all, its not the same missions, they are missions that I don't even have anymore. So please help! thanks!

Yeah I did that, what I did wrong is not export it to multiplayer missions

Tophe, just want to thank you again for making this excellent program.

I know you're working on an update and was wondering if you could include a few things:

1) A "requiredBuild=xxxxx;" field for the server.cfg. This way people can know what version you're running of the beta
2) A checkbox to launch Combined Operations instead of having to put "-mod=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;EXPANSION;CA" in the parameters.

Thanks!

Can't wait for a new version of this...1.3 seems to throw a ton of "Value not Valid" errors.

I actually don't know why it keeps doing that. I am rebuilding the settings file system to use XML or something more stable.
This version might fix some of the those problems as a result of me fixing some other bugs, but I have not adressed that problem specifically. Some people get it often but most never do, so it's kind of a mystery to me. I have to admit I started coding this when I didn't know any C# at all...

Now I know a great deal more, so I'm thinking of refactoring the whole software to be able to add new features a bit quicker.
I'm sending the new (very modest update) to a couple of testers this weekend. Then I'll start on that.

@zuff: Do you have any good links with valid information on your point no.1 first ? I'll try to put that in this version.

It's a big deal with Day Z. It seems people with older beta versions can still connect to newer beta servers. With the drastic changes and anti-cheat measures that vary from beta to beta, it's important making sure your players are all on the same page so to speak.

From http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg:

requiredBuild=xxxxx; From 1.60 Patchlog: requiredBuild=xxxxx; in server.cfg preventing obsolete clients to connect.
