ArmA 1.16 beta

[dimitrifrom31]

Does any1 got the files of this?

 

I uploaded beta folder but somehow it doesnt work.

I changed the executable from arma_server.exe to beta\arma_server.exe

 

added the -mod=beta in command line but still not working so I assume I have missed something with the files.

I believe Arma has to be installed to the server and cant be run via command line just using the files. You need to iso it transfer the files and install the iso onto the server then use the dedicated server launcher. Good luck cause the game is not worth it to even try to host.

Already hosting it and it works just fine. Only problem is that I would like to upload only the touched files of this beta patch so I dont have to reupload everything. Not to mention this is only a beta patch so I want my customers run the officical 1.14 by default and only apply the patch for the ones who want it.

It needs to be

 

-mod=@beta not -mod=beta

[dimitrifrom31]

It needs to be

 

-mod=@beta not -mod=beta

 

weird, i used the @ for @ACE as the folder was named @ACE too. i ll try it but it was actually working with -mod=beta

 

only problem is that other mods couldnt be launched, server wasnt responding if commandline was for exemple :

 

-mod=beta;@ACE

 

thx for the tip, will give it a try

So you are currently running arma by just using the files and command line ??

 

Without installing the full game to that server??

[dimitrifrom31]

I installed full game on a remote machine ages ago, then transfered the game files to my server files.

 

So yes iam now running the games with files and command line only as I dotn have it instaleld anymore since I switched my files hosting method (used to host game files on master server where my games were also installed, now using files server and dont have games installed on master anymore).

The new 1.16 patch requires server version 1.08 it's in the readme file.

[dimitrifrom31]

i had it patched to 1.14 already so had 1.08 and its working fine until i try to load other mods such as ACE.

 

If any1 got the touched files I can check if I miss some. Thx.

I have the 1.06 patch installed fine with the ACE mod but now when i update to the 1.16 patch it tells me the game is not installed but I was able to update the ACE mod fine.

You have to manually change the servers "working directory" under the customers "server settings" to point at the beta folder to launch the beta version. A commandline change is also needed but it won't run unless you change the working directory to where the beta exe is.

 

FYI. You don't need the game manually installed on each server.

 

 

Hope this helps!

Ye i knew about the changes altho the wiki said the working directory had not to be changed. but my problem was that I was probably missing some files.

 

Anyway I found a solution creating a registry key :

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA]
"KEY"=hex:xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx
"MAIN"="C:\\Program files\\Bohemia Interactive\\ArmA"

Will try to directly install the patch on the machine now

 

 

EDIT : for windows 64 bits had to use this :

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA]
"MAIN"="E:\\GameInstalls\\Arma1.16"
"KEY"=hex:xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA Queen's Gambit]
"MAIN"="E:\\GameInstalls\\Arma1.16"

 

Replace the main folder by urs ofc if sum1 needs it too
