Arma 3 Alpha Dedicated Server Setup

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

So little info out there for setting up a dedi in alpha.. here's what I've figured out so far:



- needs to be launched thru Steam (boooo) with the -server parameter

- Arma2OA config file seems to work just fine (at least no errors)

- gamespy master browser should be "arma3pc.master.gamespy.com"

- defaults to port 2302 unless server is already running on that port

- you can apparently install using steam on server, run in offline mode, then connect with client under same steam account

Current Steam params:

-server -port 2326 -config=server.cfg -cpuCount=4 -maxMem=4096 -exThreads=7 -name=A3Server -mod=@CBA_A3;@sthud

"I keep getting server creation failed though, and it doesn't show up in the server browser.
EDIT: Nevermind, had to disable battleEye"



User account that runs A3 now has batch file on desktp that will startup the server, monitor it and restart it if it crashes or gets shut down for any reason. It's the best we can do until dedicated server binaries are released.
