Arma 2!

Just got home and it had a broken connection again. Only at 68% of the first file :sad:

Just a small update on the server upload. It's about half way there and not looking likely to have it ready for Sunday night. I'm getting regular disconnects and so it's sitting idle for long periods during the night and when I'm at work. :sad:

Thanks, I'll take you up on that offer!

In the folder "...\ArmA 2\AddOns\" sort by name and zip up from tracked.pbo to the last file wheeled3.pbo.bi.bisign then ftp the file to the CoD4 server and I can pick it up from there

Armitage · June 26, 2009, 08:46:01 PM

got it

Armitage · June 27, 2009, 07:38:45 AM

Uploaded. anything else

Whitey · June 27, 2009, 08:36:42 AM

My second download finished but the third one failed after 150MB.

If you could do plants2_Tree.pdo.bi.bisign to structures.pdo.

Once that's done, that should be us ready to do the registry bits/configuration and try it out.

It's now all in place and I've got it started. I can see it in the game browser but I can't get a connection. It uses ports 2302-2305, could it be a firewall issue?

Whitey · June 27, 2009, 09:24:25 PM

It's working on port 27016

We just need to figure out how to set up the missions now!

UPDATE:

QuoteFirewall issues

By default the Armed Assault server is reporting to Gamespy and it also uses the Gamespy server to negotiate a NAT traversal. If this does not work reliably for you (e.g. when running behind very strict firewall), you may need to open and/or forward following incoming ports:

port UDP (used for game)
port+1 UDP (used for server reporting)
port+3 UDP (used for VoN transmissions)

Following outgoing ports need to be open as well:

port UDP (used for game)
port+3 UDP (used for VoN transmissions)

Default value of port is 2302, but you may change it by -port command line argument.

It was interesting to see the number of players jumping on the server while we were testing. Now all we need is a good mission selection and some practice with all the keys :blink:

This game could be big for us and I'm loving the quality of the jo public we are getting on already.

I'd happily leave stuff uploading if you that would help but I guess you need the game :doh:

Otherwise give me a shout if I can

Whitey · June 28, 2009, 11:12:13 PM

I agree, we need to find/create the right missions and there are a few bugs to sort out but from what I've played so far, I like it. It's even kept me off WoW for most of the weekend!

Now what are the chances of an ARMAII section in the forum.
