pyroarchy 10 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I've looked around abit and talked to some people but I'm still confused in some aspects to properly installing this, its not as straightforward as the ArmA3 DS. This is what I've done so far... 1-installed the arma2 and arma2oa DS from steamcmd using my steam account my arma2 purchase resides on. 2-installed the 1.63 version of DS for linux, no errors. 3-ran the 'tolower' script several times after doing changes to cfg files and such. 4-copied over my 'dta' folder from my windows installation to fix the first error I encountered in my log. 5-added cba, cba_oa, and cba_a2 mods which removed ALOT of errors from the logs. 6-made a keys folder in my arma2 root directory and copied the keys to the mods above i used BTW my /home/arma2/arma2/ directory is where everything is installed except steam ofcourse Heres the readout from: ls -Rx1 /home/arma2/ > output.log http://pastebin.com/9gBDJXZG Heres the logs from trying to launch with ./arma2oaserver http://pastebin.com/ScASXMxn Here is my arma2oaserver file http://pastebin.com/gcXVTusT Here is my arma2oa.cfg file http://pastebin.com/gQGec0qh Forgot to mention that my basic.cfg is the same as arma2oa.cfg I do not have the file that set the difficulty, I forgot its name, nor does the server create one it seems. Dunno if this is required or not...Ok created a server.arma2oaprofile file and pasted in the contents from the BIS wiki, still same issue in the logs. Here is my server.cfg file http://pastebin.com/Dq3wVm91 I'm just confused on the file and directory layout, installing both arma2 and arma2oa from steamcmd to the same directory is ok right? I'm not sure if I'm to do a patch? I'm on a fresh install, everything was downloaded within a couple of days ago. I used this guide for the most part http://tactical.nekromantix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=arma2:linux-dedicated-server-steam-install and also cross referenced with the BIS guide in the 1.63 release thread. Cannot connect to the server via IP:port format using remote button in multiplayer, and do not see it on list. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :confused: Edited September 17, 2014 by pyroarchy forgot to add basic.cfg and difficulty file comments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyroarchy 10 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Ok I did some poking around and tried using the ./server command to launch it, it works! I just did'nt have the keys for the cba mods setup right so it kicks me. So the arma2oaserver script was the problem or how I edited it was...sorry for so many edits. Trying everything to make this work!!! Ok 6am and it gives me this error upon connecting, server has red dot in multiplayer list too ofcourse. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/37475920998488113/85D917AD785E654EB81507FDDF56398908314448/ I don't even see that ACR folder in arma2 or OA on my pc or on the server.... *update* well i started over following the guide above EXACTLY, but it gives me this: app_update 33910 validate ERROR! Failed to install app '33910' (No subscription) I think this app id is wrong. I'm so desperate, if anyone wants to pm me that has a working arma2oa linux server maybe we can work some sort of trade out, I love helping others and would be willing to work out something ;) Edited September 20, 2014 by pyroarchy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyroarchy 10 Posted October 17, 2014 Ok fixed my problem I just uploaded the 12gb of folders from my client game install to the server and merged those with what steamcmd downloaded, the guide I linked before has some old info that was'nt exactly detailed and correct (but thank you to the author who did make an attempt to help). replaced the crappy tolower.c with a custom script and to my suprise the server works pretty darn good!

rustypredator 10 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Moved to own thread (can be deleted) Hi, Sorry for replying at this thread, but as im an new user i cant Post a new thread (or im to stupid to find the button), However.. Im Having issues with starting my Arma2:OA Server properly. Im very sorry but i cant post any links so i had to improvise... (just replace # with /) Startscript config: http:##pastebin.com#Dc5bMGbW Startscript check: http:##pastebin.com#8KAmqFmf Log: http:##pastebin.com#GT9dh8Lj (this are just 3k of like 26k lines of log. This section just duplicates) I got an Arma2 and Arma3 Server both running properly on the same machine. What i have done: - downloaded Arma2:OA (appid 33930) with steamcmd - downloaded and extracted the Linux ded server files, run the install script. - Editing the Startscript params to my liking (adding the configs in an subdirectory, changed the port...) - had some issues with ./Expansion not tolowering but solved that with removing the ./expansion folder that was provided by the linux files archive and readded it after running the install script again. - uploaded my expansion/beta from my client and added the -beta param to the startscript. thats it.. but still im getting the errors you see in the logfile i really dont want to upload the clientfiles completely as i have a very weak internet connection (230kb/s down and ~46kb/s up) it would take me AGES! I hope somebody can help me! -Rusty Edited October 19, 2014 by Rustypredator Moved to own thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustypredator 10 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Moved to own thread (can be deleted) So, i was able to remove the errors with "global stringtable not found" with installing Arma2 AND Arma2:OA in the same dir. It still dies though ;( . New Logfile: http://pastebin.com/QsYP5wQu It seems it has some trouble with some backslashes in files or in the code... how can i fix this? does anyone has an idea? - Rusty Edited October 19, 2014 by Rustypredator moved to own thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
