Looks very good, could be some interesting campaigns.  We have 2 servers I am happy to stick this up some time and run with it.  We could do it as a month event, plan it out what missions we need in a story arc kind of a way.  Also means that if people were to jump on in smaller groups it would have planned out missions.

Any one else have any thoughts about this?

That looks excellent - give it a try I say.

We need a server god to step in here......

I never read all the individual game forums so you'll need to post this in here or I won't know it needs done. :flirty:

The one thing the server admins will need to do is setup MP Rights. Create an mso directory under your server’s ARMA2 directory (for example C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\mso) and create a text file called mso_uids.txt.
 
Its contents should look something like this:
[
    ["1234", "CORPORAL", ["crew"]], /*namex*/
    ["4567", "PRIVATE", ["pilot"]], /*namey*/
    ["7890", "LIEUTENANT", ["admin"]], /*adminx*/
    ["6789", "SERGEANT", ["pilot","crew"]] /*namez*/
] Each line identifies a players UID, rank and roles. Without these, new  players should not be able to crew armour, pilot aircraft or use the  admin debug console.

Can you supply the relevant information please (UID's Rank, Role)?

Here's my line.


["878977", "LIEUTENANT", ["pilot","crew","admin"]],  /*Sexy-Lib*/


From the format I'm guessing this is an array table we are creating, the /*text*/ is just a comment field for our own benefit and it's not part of the array. So each line will end in a comma unless it's the last one in which case it just has the close square bracket to end the array.

UID is the six digit number on your player profile screen. I say we just set up the Admins to start with to test it out and then add others in as we work out what it does.
