  • Recommends –
    • Turnkey hosting for VPS – Link
      • Pros
        • Control entire server
        • Don’t have to support
          • just hit go and what they have works
      • Cons
        • TIME!
          • Setup & support is all you
            • Download all the programs
            • configure all the programs
            • configure all the extensions
            • Trouble shoot them all

Installing dedicated server

• The best thread on server setup for arma3 – Link
  • Trouble shooting once setup – Link
• List of server options – Link
• Tophe’s Arma Dedicated Server Tool (TADST) – Link
• Get arma3 server (dedicated not the one using your steam id)
  • Either via steam if you’re just developing
  • Or via ​steamcmd – Link
• Copy the file ‘TADST.exe’ to your ArmA server
• Change the steamid to 107410 (steam arma3 app, not the steam arma3 server … doesn’t make sense but do it)
  • Appears when steam client running there is a known issue with dedicated server – Link
• The map / mission file – usually you can just connect to a server, download it & then yank it from where it’s saved
  • Locations for maps – Link
    • Pay close attention to the tip at the end about the .<island name> aka MapName.IslandName.pbothe server will pretend to find and load the map but it often won’t work anyways.
  • If you are running a dedicated server you probably have the steam arma 3 server – I liked Jake’s setup guide – Link
