Title: Another ArmA 3 Questions 1st MRB Server And Mod Problems
Post by: Maj. P. Gomez [1stMRB] on July 29, 2015, 03:27:27 AM
Hi there I was wondering if I could get some help on my units servers, and mods I saw that you guys are a very great and big unit and I enjoy watching your guys videos. We are having some trouble with uploading our mods and having the server run them and work properly, we have a unit modpack which is 6gbs and than have 5 other mods like cba, ace, a3mp, and so on, are providers for our servers is nfo we have a vds machine, and for missions how do we upload the ones we made on the editor to the server and make them work LOL

Here's a guide I made a while ago on how to set up servers on an NFO server:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QyRrMrBTRLVi3yIe_CtxQ8_LwT21GGlZwOeX56-Dh14/edit

For the missions, save them as PBOs and put them in the MPMissions folder on the server. Make sure all of the units in the mission you want to be able to control are set as playable (pink/purple).

I don't have a link right now, but basically download TADST and install it in your Arma 3 folder on the server. When you start up TADST you can create a profile where you can select what mods, missions, name/PW of the server, etc you want to launch the server with. Find the thread on the BI forums. It does a pretty good job explaining how to set it up.

Do you have a virtual server where you see the whole windows desktop or do you just interact through the NFO control panel?

Okay, so I'm confused here because NFO has a few different server options. Do you have a managed server where NFO downloaded Arma for you and you only have access on the control panel where you can change the start up parameters and FTP files over? Or do you see a full desktop where you can navigate through like a normal computer?

Okay I just found your topic on the NFO forums. Follow what they said. Make sure to run CBA first and take out some of the clientside mods.

As for the missions, you just need to upload them into the MPMissions folder. You can select them in-game by logging in as admin and using the #missions command.

This topic also has a lot of information:

I haven't used the NFO control panel in a year and a half so I can't help you much more. They should have better info and tutorials on their forums.
