Thread: How to create a dedicated server

  1. #1

    Question How to create a dedicated server

    Is there any document, news, tutorial, etc. how to create a dedicated server ?

    Thx

    Have heard you can start a dedi by shortcut "C:\...\ArmA 2\arma.exe" -server
    But I don't know how to assign a specific config/port.
    Maybe same way like: "C:\...\ArmA 2\arma.exe" -server -port=2537 -config=server.cfg
    Next Problem would be the copy protection. So would it be necessery to have the dvd in the drive? Could be quite hard for some roots.

    What ever, we might figure it out this weekend

    Gonna take longer than the weekend for you to figure out.

    There is no option to run ARMA 2 as a dedicated server till bis release the server.exe & implement the code in patch 47.982.

    Afraid you German guys got sucked in bigtime "beta testing" 1/2 a game.

    Main features:
    Play the entire solo campaign cooperatively or dive into huge PvP battles for control of the whole map.

    with no dedicated server ? Are you kidding me ?

    Business as usual

    No server files = No dedi.
    But I read somewhere about the switch "-server" for the main executable.
    Maybe thats complete wrong.

    What time passed when ArmA1 was released until server files for Win and Linux where out? A mounth for the server.exe and 3 mounth for the Linux Binary?
    Can't believe they doing that all again

    You cant exspect a dedicated server.exe when the game aint even released world wide yet. Still kind of beta sence it was only released in germany. Dedicated server files prob come sometime after the 19th of june or a month from now

    i'm having the same issue...so i guess we have to wait for the dedicated server files...

    just a suggestion though...i wouldn't release a game with no files for dedicated server....after all mp is probably the biggest part of arma2...

    Yes no Dedicated Server Included yet!

    Probably not in the eyes of BIS, if there are Things they invested the most time into, then one of these things is clearly the SP experience (campaign, scenarios) - and its really cool!
    Marek Spanel: [...] Every single element is well taught so that it fits together. So this is a significant change, because with ArmA 1 it was just random, really.
    We made some units because we had to. There wasn't much passion from our side with the first ArmA, to be honest. This time it's different. (Videogamer.com Interview

    Please BIS: Arma2 must become a TRUE MASTERPIECE - Not a middle-heavy catastrophe!

    i managed to run a dedicated server with the -server switch...however i have no idea what is the name of the server or what are the parameters...i can see players flooding in though....

    i guess the next step would be to create a server.cfg similar to Arma1 and direct the exe to read that one...

    You can use the Information provided by the Community-Wiki to adjust your serverconfiguration: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg

    Other informations in the BIKI may be usefull as well: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/A..._configuration

    in commandline, simply add "-config=server.cfg" as a parameter to arma2.exe.
