[ Request ] Server Files for Dedicated Server

[KatataFish]

Hey there, I'm looking forward to hosting a server for fun gamemodes with a friendly community. Once the server files are public, we'll get it started.

path folder is bad?

I have no clue, I copy and pasted the file path exactly...

Can you post your server.json file (passwords, or at least change them later :) )

For anyone having the error where the server closes immediately: place your server.json inside a folder named "config" instead of "Configs" in the server directory; that fixed the path error for me.

Example path: "C:\servers\ArmaR\config\"

[Mr.Frost]

I have mine right in the main server directory, alongside the .exe file and my .bat file for launching. I still put the full path to the json file in the command line, though, just in case. :) My server launches OK (after many, many early issues)

Sounds like all the issue Arma 2 and 3 use to have. LOL. Patience guys the veteran server owners will be the first to get it right. Since we are a somewhat friendly community great guides will be up soon.

I will have to when I get home, its 9am here. I am at work! T.T

Your priorities are all screwed up. ;) Are you running the server actually logged in as the user Administrator? First off, that's not... best practices, let's say. :) Second, if you aren't but the file is found there, it's highly likely the user you're running the game as doesn't have access to the Administrator user desktop. For fun, I'd say move the server to a new folder on the C drive (C:\Reforger, or something), then modify your path to see if that helps. Other than that, we can take a close look at your json file when you're back home (well, someone will... I'll be sound asleep at that time over on this side of the pond)

[Mr.Frost]

Oh, before you move the folder, try right-clicking your batch file and say Run as Administrator to see if that helps.

I get the error:

ENGINE    (E): Addon '58D0FB3206B6F859' not found
ENGINE    (E): Cannot initialize game project settings!
ENGINE    (E): Unable to initialize Enfusion
ENGINE       : Game destroyed.

when running as administrator. This happens the same when using the listScenarios cmd

any suggestions?

I'm not sure how to download mods into the dedicated server (assuming that's what you're using) - I downloaded it on my client then copied the folder over to the server. Had to edit the meta file to point to the new file location. I'm assuming you have the mod set up in your server.json file.

[Mr.Frost]

(or if it's on the same computer you can point the server at the addons download location for your client with the -addonsDir server command line parameter)

[cheezit]

nope, just trying to run the eden scenario:

	"game": {
		"name": "####",
		"password": "####,
		"scenarioId": "{59AD59368755F41A}Missions/21_GM_Eden.conf",
		"playerCountLimit": 32,
		"autoJoinable": false,
		"visible": false,
		"gameProperties": {
			"serverMaxViewDistance": 2500,
			"serverMinGrassDistance": 50,
			"networkViewDistance": 1000,
			"disableThirdPerson": true,
			"fastValidation": true,
			"battlEye": true,

		},

[Mr.Frost]

That GUID (58D0FB3206B6F859) appears to be the core game ... addon. Weird choice of identification, but OK. Run SteamCMD again (or verify files if you're using the Steam downloaded server). I see that GUID in file ./addons/data/ArmaReforger.gproj (relative to server exe file)

Got it working! Decided to used this template (http://armaverseproject.com/reforgerserver.html) instead of the bohemia interactive wiki template... only differences I see are gameMode, and supportedGameClientTypes, but it works now! Thought it may be a syntax error but i've compared the two up and down and can't find any errors... hope this may help folks in the future
