Okay as of lib update 83 the limitation mentioned in previous post has been lifted.
zSync and rSync mirrors are now used mixed - it will use whichever mirror has higher priority, is reachable, and user limit not reached, regardless if it is rSync or zSync.

The same now counts for Custom zSync repositories; they can be supplemented by custom rSync repositories - flexible as you wish.

Version 2.1 is about complete, and was a bout new-feature-boom, while 2.0 was introduction on .NET.
2.2 and 2.3 I will use to improve usability, simplicity, etc.

Please if you have bugs/feedback, report asap. 2.1 RC will soon appear.


Update
The second official zSync mirror is up and awaiting your requests! Kindly donated by Robalo AS, AlphaSquad.net.

sory my bad just found that st stands for steam not stand alone it works as it should no need for looking up codes etc for support :-)

[Sickboy]

ST stands for Standalone.
If you have both A2 and OA, just select A2 OA Combined Ops profile

Hi all
I've spent the last couple of months figure out how to download Mods and now I would like to setup a dedicated server with some or all the Mods I've downloaded. Been through the documentation and cannot see anything that tells me how to add mods to a customs game, tried playing with Six-updater for a bit. Can anyone point me to an instructions manual that has an "Idiot" guide for setup custom dedicate server.

Latest app, exec and lib updates pushed for auto-self-update.
The new settings are finally stored, some small new features added and some bugs squashed (details at the SU Wave and the SU Issue tracker @ Dev-Heaven)


In the meantime the SU Network could use some generous mirror donators from the US - If you have some hosting bandwidth available and would be interested in supplementing the mirror network - benefiting all users - please leave a message
Hosting options are http webserver for zSync clients, or rSync daemon for rSync clients, or even both (running off the same files).
EU or other region mirrors are naturally very welcome too!

Currently SU requires you to know the basics of setting up an arma 2 dedicated server - if you have those it should be a piece of cake to set the startup parameters for your server etc.
The only difference when handling mods and starting a server is to enable the Server checkbox - the rest is exactly the same as for a client.
Did you grab the SU 2.0 already or still using the six-updater-web?

These should cover the basics;

Sorry no all-in-one beginner guide available currently.

Startup parameters you can set within SU. I am however working on integrating all this configuration in the GUI, probably sees the light of day around 2.2.

Just set the path on your settings profile. At the lower tabs click Profiles, select your favorite / the one you use - and enter the path to the steam installation in the 'path' field, currently you have to manually type/copy it in there - will soon be supplemented by open folder dialog
