Arma2 dedicated server howto

[galzohar]

Each signed .PBO should come with a .bisign file with a similar name and they should be placed in the same directory. Each .bikey file needs to go in the server's keys folder AFAIK in order for the server to allow addons signed with this key, those keys usually come with the addon you download in a separate folder.

Or you could just disable signature check to allow all addons.

-name=MyServer -config=MyServer\Server.cfg -cfg=MyServer\Arma2.cfg -profiles=MyServer

Where Myserver is a sub directory in your ArmA2 install directory.

So for example

If I want to call myserver "SpongeBob" I would create a folder in my Arma 2 main directory called @SpongeBob then put the Server.cfg and Arma2.cfg in that folder then so my target line would look like this now

]-name=Spongebob -config=spongebobServer.cfg -cfg=spongebobArma2.cfg -profiles=spongebob 

Lol I know im off on something. Thanks again.

No, should just be a folder called SpongeBob, not @SpongeBob in Your Arma install folder, this contains the configs and the following would be your parameter line:

"........ -name=spongebob -config=spongebob\server.cfg -cfg=spongebob\Arma2.cfg -profiles=spongebob

Usually, you start the server like this:

./arma2server start

If you did, you can then stop it using

./arma2server stop

With the greatest of respect, I think I'd prefer to download that from a more recognisable source.

OMG seriously? Kelly's Heroes is a recognised source!

With the "greatest of respect" that quote is from the 19th June 2009. I really don't think it's worth dragging all that up again. This thread has long passed over all that.

I am currently trying to optimize my server at SR5 Tactical because some of the players report AI warping.

1) Do you guys use anything like Game Booster or utilities to free up RAM periodically?

2) Do you guys have any AI warping on your servers? If so, how did you manage to solve/reduce it?

Right now I am having a whole lot of potential force recon long range players who would like to cover that training and play as recon guys but they're all afraid the AI warping will make most long-range things unplayable.

I've tried to read everything everywhere but this AI warping subject seems to be very elusive..I don't know why it's a sort of "shadow" that has never been faced directly, makes me wonder you guys probably never have it? It has got to be a server problem then..

Thanks in advance, anything you can share would greatly help me.
