Dedicated server not loading certain missions

Recommended Posts

I've got a personal server set up from another computer in my house. I can connect to it from the server browser, I can login as admin, and I can run certain missions. However, some missions I try to load go straight to waiting for host, then return straight back to the mission select screen. I get this message in game: "Server load: FPS 0, memory used: 0MB, out: 0 Kbps, in: 0 Kbps"

Here's the server logs:

14:02:18 Dedicated host created.
14:02:20 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.112)
14:02:20 Host identity created.
14:02:38 WusteHase uses modified data file - Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead;Arma 2: British Armed Forces;Arma 2: Private Milita
14:02:38 Player WusteHase connecting.
14:02:40 Player WusteHase connected (id=*******).
14:02:57 Admin WusteHase logged in.
14:03:08 Mission CO_MCC_SANDBOX_V1.53 read from bank.
14:03:18 Mission Cipher: VOTT v0.61b read from bank.

As you can see, I tried to load 2 missions. SANDBOX fails and kicks back to mission select, and Cipher loads up as normal. I can join and play no problem.

I'm assuming that it has something to do with the amount of scripts and/or addons are included with the missions that refuse to load, but I'm not savvy enough to know where I need to look or what I need to change when I get there.

If anyone can offer up any suggestions or assistance, I would greatly appreciate it.

Probably missing mods. You need to check in the server's .rpt file. Not sure if the Windows dedicated server does things differently to the client but for the latter it's normally (unless you've set a profile location on the command line) in...

Windows Vista/7:

C:\Users\<LoginName>\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\

Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\<LoginName>\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA 2 OA\

Ok, looking at the .rpt file, showing a lot of this scattered throughout:

As well as this:

And this (Just a bit of it, goes on for a long ways):

Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-A:2
Creation of object L 1-1-A:3 failed, state LOGGED IN
Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-A:2
Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-A:3

Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-D:4

Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-C:2
Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-C:2
Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-C:2
Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-C:2
Ref to nonnetwork object L 1-1-C:2

The majority of that .rpt file is this stuff, repeated each time I've reset the server. Any ideas?

Seems you did not upload all contents of the arma2\common folder.

Run ./tolower and fill your s p a c e s in mission names with s_p_a_c_e_s or remove them spaces.

Rename the mission file to lowercase if not and make this change in the server.cfg too.
