Arma 3 unmanaged setup

[J-English]

I have downloaded the necessary files and added the shortcut along with adding the target line(shortcut) etc.

double clicking the arma3server exe and shortcut gives me this error

fixed the issue,it was just a directx problem

starting up the server gives me this box

Are you using the SteamCMD tool to install the server (full Arma 3 installation), or are you using the standalone dedicated server files? Are all the BattlEye files in place?

I followed this link

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arm ... xample.cmd

The only thing i changed creating this bat file was SET STEAMLOGIN=mylogin mypassword with my own steam login.Also in the bat file i changed SET A3serverPath=C:\A3server\ to SET A3serverPath=C:\Games\ArmA3\A3Master

I created a shortcut (arma3server.exe) and set the target line to C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master" -port=2302 -config=CONFIG_Vanilla.cfg -world=empty

So i had the same issue ,so i tried another method using steamCMD and added

Code: Select all

force_install_dir C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master

Code: Select all

app_update 107410 validate

to overite the files

Same problem.

Code: Select all

@echo off
@rem http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd.zip
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

       :: DEFINE the following variables where applicable to your install

    SET STEAMLOGIN=mylogin mypassword
    SET A3serverBRANCH=233780 -beta
        :: For stable use 233780 -beta
        :: For Dev use 233780 -beta development
                :: Note, the missing qotation marks, these need to be wrapped around the entire "+app_data......"
                :: There is no DEV branch data yet for Arma 3 Dedicated Server package !!!

    SET A3serverPath=C:\A3server\
        SET STEAMPATH=C:\STEAMcmd\

The appID 233780 refers to the standalone dedicated server, which is still a bit problematic (think there are missing keys according to the feedbacktracker...). Best is to use the client install with the appID 107410.

Try to delete all the previous files and start clean with the appID = 107410 using the steamCMD tool. You can also use the arma3launcher.exe to start the dedicated server if you want to. Then try to disable BattlEye and check if the server starts successfully.

Thankyou calib..deleted all files etc,started fresh with the appID = 107410 .

ran the server with the custom mission works great.

Where would i add my mod parameters ?

[Caliban55]

Good to hear that it works without any problems now.

If you are using the arma3launcher.exe, you can add the mods by adding the folders via the mod field in the interface. Point and click to the target folder.

You can also create a shortcut on your Desktop pointing to the arma3server.exe and then edit the created shortcut in the target field with the -mod=@mod1;@mod2;... command, where you add the mods you want to start the server with by pointing to their folders.

You can also define the -mod= parameter in a parameter file, which I usually prefer, as it offers one place to store your server configuration in a neat, ordered manner.

Thanks buddy

fixed the issue,it was just a directx problem

starting up the server gives me this box

How did you fix the directx problem? I have the same issue on 2k12 dedi .

[J-English]

Cant remember but that missing dll file is part of directx.
You need to install directx for your server,Goto windows update and update your server,should fix the problem

As calibaan said start over and use

Code: Select all

app_update 107410 validate

[Caliban55]

Don't nail me on this, but I think this library is part of DirectX 2010 package. You can find it in your Arma 3 installation folder under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\_CommonRedist

Or wherever you installed Arma 3 to.
