how do i make a make a dedicated server?

[Sanctuary]

and how on earth is it possible to modify batch files?

.bat files can be edited like if they were .txt files, so notepad/wordpad are enough.

123 is not a good password and you've just told it to the whole world.

Dont worry its been changed cannot believe i put it there

mr. cheater i think u must only forward ports in ur router and have public IP not private, if u not have public IP you need to talk with ur ISP.

Don't worry about IP, just be sure to use

reportingIP="master.gamespy.com";

Hi. Here's a minimal server.cfg:

hostname="Test";
maxPlayers = 64;
reportingIP="master.gamespy.com";
password=""; // password to join server
passwordAdmin="123"; // password to login as admin
voteTreshold=0.334;

motd[]=
{
"Welcome",
"message"
};
motdInterval = 5;

class Missions
{
};

and a server_flashpoint.cfg for bandwidth settings:

MinErrorToSend=0.00500;
MaxMsgSend=512;
MaxSizeGuaranteed=256;
MaxSizeNonguaranteed=128;
MinBandwidth=3072000;
MaxBandwidth=4608000;
MaxCustomFileSize=1024000;

If you don't have the deddy exe just use the normal one like:
C:\Games\OFP\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nomap -server -config=server.cfg -cfg=server_flashpoint.cfg

Hi! I did like you said (on Arma 1.99) but when I get a window with starting server, I get: Server creation failed: 2302

It works exactly the same for 1.99 but remove the -server option and use the ColdWarAssault_Server.exe. The port is probably already open by some other program. Try a different port by adding -port=2402 or something to the command line. IIRC OFP will use 3 ports, 2402-2404 in this case.

You can check the active/listeing udp ports in Win7 like so:
netstat -ap udp
