Arma 3 - Updated Steam Friendly (SOON)

[Raizio]

Figured I'd make one myself and share it with you lads.

 

The information in short

• Uses SteamCMD, anonymous! Doesn't require ownership of game.
  
• Do note; because it is dedicated server files only. It has no mission to start with! Download one from armaholic
  
• Change the line "template="co40 AW Invade & Annex 2.88 BETA.Stratis"" in server.cfg to the right mission you download, or just download the same one and put it in /mpmissions
  
• Query support all set up.
  
• Sadly no web console, nothing I can do about that for Windows.
  
• RCon control ready! Server is setup so all it takes is the IP:Port and RCon PW that you pick at order/creation. Use battlewarden , it's a free and popular arma/dayz rcon tool.
  

 

I also created a special mail template where I added in the battlewarden bit;

Just base it off of new game server and added in this:

 

"To get the most out of your server, be sure to use an RCon tool like Battlewarden

It's a free tool, you can use it to perform a lot of duties. Such as chat, kick, ban and manage the server.

Just connect via IP and Port, then use the Admin/RCon PW you filled in at ordering."

 

As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated. I will update the config accordingly.

 

Maybe someday soon I'll make a config editor out of the server.cfg

From what I recall it put it in the logs folder, but... it names it by date instead of having a static name

[Raizio]

Yeah I saw that one too..I hoped it was just me missing something.

[Raizio]

Config good to go. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing

How can I set it up so the slots, ip, and port setup with it? At this time slots is 64, ip:port is just default.

You can always just change it while creating or change the default settings in the config?

What I am saying is I have set the slots, but when the server starts the slot (no matter what I have set it to) resets to 64 slots.

[Raizio]

Seems I didn't upload the final version; my bad.

Go to COnfiguration Files and to the server.cfg; make sure maxPlayers is this:

 

maxPlayers = $[service.Slots]

 

Will upload the right one tomorrow.

Read a little about the variables and configuration files on help.tcadmin.com. Will do you good.

Did you ever end up uploading the new one?

[Raizio]

Not yet, haven't been home.

Thanks for the upload man. this worked out great

Anyone got this working with BEC?

[Raizio]

Maybe if you use a .bat file; Problem is that it'd keep running as well.

TCAdmin v2 doesn't support secondary services yet.

[xai]

U could just create a batch file that is starting BEC for you. If you stop the server BEC stops automatically as it is losing the connection to the server.

 

For now you will need a little workaround for bec (Developer decided to terminate the service) http://ibattle.org/

has anyone figured out how to install scripts like altis life? to automatic install?

[Dennis]

Yes. Collect all the files for Alits Life in a zip archive and put it in TCA.Mods. Make the server change commandline whenever the client installs the mod.

Ez pz lemon squeezy

[dagg929]

Having a nightmare getting rcon going. Anyone have any luck with this profile?

I know you need the beserver and all that.

[Winter]

Hey Dennis i get that however altis life runs on a database. Would that be up to the user to install? Or perhaps making a script that automatic installs the db and user they put in.

[NoDoze]

We host a separate remote mysql db for arma 2 mods, curious if this would work for arma 3 atlis? Since I was told mysql doesn't work for arma 3...

[xai]

A3 Altis Life works fine with mysql.

You could buy this script that we've made for handling databases: http://clientforums.tcadmin.com/showthread.php?t=11660

I tried to convert this config to linux dedicated server, I needed steam login to download the files, which is fine.

When I try to start I just get Running (pid 0).

I have also tried setting up a log file to give me an idea of what could be going wrong but nothing in the log either.

Any ideas?
