TADST server tool help

[Papa_Vinny]

Hey I've been using this server tool, everything's running fine, I got all the portfowarding handled. I was wondering, how would do I become admin of the server? I've tried setting admin password and when I enter it into the server password it wont let me join as admin. Can I get some help please? Oh and is there a way to load steam scenarios as missions with the tool?

Server Admin:

You use the Admin password once you are already in-game, i.e. once you are logged into the server and have selected your role, etc., you type '#login <adminpasswrd>' into chat and then you can access all the admin commands for your server.


Steam Missions:

These asre a little problematic when using with TADST. You have to download the missions somehow and move them into the servers MPMissions folder to have them recognised. It's not impossible, but does take a little more to maintain.

Thanks! Would you know how to download said scenarios?

That's where it gets a little hairy....

I'm going to do this by example. Using this mission because it has no MOD requirements:

Hit the subscribe button and wait for the download through the Steam client to finish.

Now if you go to the directory where the Steam client is installed, should be something like c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam. Jump into the userdata directory and start searching.

If you type '*.pbo' into the explorer search box it should bring up any mission files under that directory.

For the example above the file is called '[SP%2fCO-04]%20A%20NORMAL%20DAY.Altis.pbo', so to use that mission you'd copy that file over to the server MPMissions folder and then point TADST at it as normal.

You should be aware though, that not all MP missions are created equally. Sometimes the only way to know if a particular mission will run on a dedi server is to give it a try.

How can I change the server language?
