ArmA 3 Altis life server issues

[fingerniklas]

Hello, i recently followed a tutorial for setting up a Altis life server but problem is it doenst show up on the browser unless i put the IP in the remote connection. I dont get any errors when launching the server but it just doesnt show up and it kick me off right away when i join the server to test it.

Thanks for any help!

Regards
Niklas

Its because your server is most likely not querying the steam servers. Put this code in your server.cfg

Code: Select all

steamPort = 8766;
steamQueryPort = 27016;

With this you should be able to add your server to your favorites in steam by just putting in your IP, and the port as 27016.

If your server still isnt responding to steam servers, you can visit this link that goes into more detail with setting up the server.cfg and making your server respond to steam servers! https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg

I'm using the TADST and this is how the config looks like:

Code: Select all

// Config file generated 9/10/2014 2:46 PM with TADST.

steamPort = 8766;
hostName = "Serp Altis Life || SWE ||";
password = "******";
passwordAdmin = "*****";
logFile = "";

motd[] = {
};
motdInterval = 3;

maxPlayers = 10;
kickduplicate = 0;
verifySignatures = 0;
requiredSecureId = 0;

voteMissionPlayers = 3;
voteThreshold = 1.5;

disableVoN = 0;
vonCodecQuality = 10;
persistent = 1;
timeStampFormat = "none";
BattlEye = 1;

doubleIdDetected = "";
onUserConnected = "";
onUserDisconnected = "";
onHackedData = "";
onDifferentData = "";
onUnsignedData = "";
regularCheck = "";

class Missions
{
	class Mission_1
	{
		template = "altis_life.altis";
		difficulty = "regular";
	};


};

Your missing this in your config

Code: Select all

steamQueryPort = 27016;

[Caliban55]

The Steam query port is hard coded into the game since version 1.22 (always game port +1), any changes to this in the server.cfg are ignored (as a result, not a required setting). The steamPort= is still required though.

There is still some info missing:
1) Your server .RPT file, the netlog file is not useful for this
2) your mod= start-up parameter

Please also check the following:
- Does the server start with a default mission
- Is the database server/connection working
- Are all key files (for mods/Add-Ons) installed in the \keys folder, so that players can connect

Recommended: Please try to start the server without using TADST, this will only add a layer of complication to find out why you can't connect to the server. Start the server with the collowing command:

arma3server.exe -cfg=YOUR_SERVER_CFG_FILE -mod=YOUR_MODS
