Skirmishers Up Dynamic Recon Ops Dedicated Server

[Bishop746]

I'm running a dedicated Dynamic Recon Ops server: Drop by any time, I mainly play in the PM on weekdays and during the day on the weekends. If there is a particular map that you want to play and If I have it; I will be happy to load it up. Here are the details along with the mods currently being used:

Hey Bishop,
Nice work on putting a dedicated server up for DRO!
I would like to do the same for my friends and me. Could you please tell me how you managed to do that please?
Many thanks!

Its a Game Server through Wombat Servers, 8 player slots, its about 5 dollars (US) a month. Pretty steep learning curve but you will get there if you make use of a lot of Youtube videos. Send me your email address and I will send you the top videos that will walk you through it. When Im not playing I run CUP maps only and when I am playing I either run all the CUP mods or RHS. You can put mods into groups and with one click and a server restart, the server is running a new group of mods.

@Bishop, can you send me the links as well? I've got my own server with mods and other missions, but I can't find the .pbo, .bikey, &.bisign files for DRO. How did you get them, or how did you get DRO running on a server?

[Bishop746]

There is only one file to get a DRO mission working on a server and its the PBO for that mission. This is the path:

C:\Users\Yourname\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\Your UserName\Saved\steam\Dynamic%20Recon%20Ops%20-%20Altis.Altis

Note: if you encounter the PBO called "Mission", your in the wrong folder.

The one above is abviously for Altis but each map will be in its own folder and the PBO will look like this but with the map name.

Not sure if this is a setting I have on my computer but in order to find this file I have to start a single player mission in ARMA3. The file simply does not exist anywhere that I can find until I run it once in single player mode. I also have to play it when an update for DRO comes out. I think my computer is putting the Steam download into a batch file someplace until I play it.

So these two videos are VERY helpful: One is about setting up missions, the other is setting up difficulty

Hey man, i've been working on putting up the same DRO you have using wombat servers but wanted to add an enhanced movement mod and some other small things. Having some trouble though because i don't know what im doing. Ive got all the mods i want uploaded and the PBO. But i dont know if im getting the server.cfg file correct. Ill add you in hopes to join you when your on playing DRO

I sent you a friend request, I would be interested in playing on your server if you don't have a problem with newer players. I am learning the ropes as we speak but learning fast I like to think. Take care!

[NDC] Vance- you activate the mods through the Commandline. First I went into the FILE MANAGER and put underscores between the words of the mod name:
EXAMPLE : @Advanced_Rappelling
put each mod you want to load in the commandline. Start the server and let it run for about 5 minutes. Go to the LOG VIEWER and download the latest log file. Open it and scroll down utill you see a section with all the MODS and base ARMA3 files listed. Next to ORIGIN there is column call HASH. If the HASH column doesn't have a long string of numbers in it, the mod did not load. The ARM3 and ARMA3 DLC BUNDLES 1 and 2 lines will never have HASH numbers, thats normal.

BUDDS HANZOSWORD- I always enjoy new players and welcome you on the server. I do run a lot of mods and when Im on I usually use ZEUS and MCC to run DRO type missions. If you dont have the mods you will have problems connecting or have weird visual glitches. If you need help getting the mods, let me know and Ill help out anyway I can.

Thanks Bishop. I have all of those mods in fact so I will keep an eye out for when you guys are playing and jump in. I have the server on my favorites list. Thanks again!
