New Missions

[Tutonic]

Men,

I've grabbed a couple of missions from the Steam Workshop that I think might be worth playing. How do we get them onto the server?

Do we still have to copy the pbo's over manually, or can our server subscribe to the Workshop?

Manually for now but I'll look into how we tie the server into the Workshop (not convinced this is the way to go though tbh as it can be flakey as CSGO has proved).

Let me have the map details and I'll stick 'em up on the server.

Nice work Tut and thanks OB hoping to be around tonight but it not getting any easier atm

I have some subscribed in the Workshop which I think might be worth a go - all of them have revive scripts of some sort already built in.

I'll fire a few up when I get home later, and give them a quick test. I'll chuck a local server up on my machine if anyone wants to join me

OK, here we go - give these a try on the server:



COOP 6 Ranger Recon
[SP/CO 8] - Op. Edinburgh Break
COOP 12 Operation Foobar
co 10 Operation Pearl
The Infestation [Coop 6]
CartelInc Co-op 10 players

I would reccomend we install these via the Workshop, so they get updated automatically.

Here's another two that we should look at:

Eagle Nest Altis
Operation Spearhead

Both from Armaholic

Can't see where, Toby!

Spearhead links to Steam Workshop so no luck with that one.

Dedicated servers don't have access to Workshop at the moment. Right now, the dedicated server is only using the low SteamWorks layer to authenticate players without being logged in. To access workshop and show/download missions, an user account with a copy of the game for the server would be required.

Since Steam does not allow multiple-point login, it would mean that to play on your dedicated server with Workshop, you would need another account with the game. Which means buying it again. This didn't feel right, therefore no Workshop for dedicated server right now. But we are aware of this feature and looking for a more elegant solution. Please, be patient

Thanks Oldie.

That lack of Workshop integration is a bit daft - it's already taking over from Armaholic as the main repository for Arma 3 missions. Hopefully they will have a solution for us before too long

The Longest Day appears to have upset the server. I joined the game, realised I had to be a pilot in order to test the missions, so I restarted the mission - this appears to have broken everything

Would somebody kindly give the server a slap?

[Tutonic]

Never mind - it appears to have magically resolved itself
