We have an ARMA 3 server!
- Thread starter Frisbeerocker
- Start date
i can host one (or even two) for free. I have some server resources to spare.

i'm working on resurrecting A3 server.
Takistan, RHS, all that stuff. Took another mission as draft (was filled with fuckload of mods, i'm not even joking, it was requiring 40GB+ modpack)
Biggest issues so far: occasionally intel drop doesn't add markers on map while running on dedicated server, works fine in local MP (scripting error, still fighting with it) and FPS issues (20-30 FPS at most, #justarmathings)

Enhanced Movement should run fine clientside. I don't know what wizardry is used on the Op 4 gaming public server, but I've never seen a smoother multiplayer connection in Arma. Perhaps we can steal their secrets?
Proper hardware, i assume. I have liberation (capture the island) server running on dedicated hardware with 3 headless clients (for AI offloading on different processes), FPS is pretty solid, like 50-60 most of time. But this config requires pretty decent hardware (in this case i7-2500k with only arma running on it, nothing else)

Sounds right. Wish I had some spare decent hardware to send your way. I'll have an i7-2600 available soon if you want it.
@Frisbeerocker capture the island (liberation) is running now. Insurgency is kinda work-in-progress.
Pretty fun (get resources by capturing points, spend resources on vehicles, defend captured points, capture big cities for win. However air support is absolutely required). Also server-side save system, so server crashes is not a big deal.
Epoch was pretty boring last time i played. If you want some wild survival mod, good old wasteland will do just fine.
UPD: also good coop missions to consider:
Invade & Annex
Annex Done Right: https://github.com/TEHGAM/ADR (russian readme, mission itself should be multilingual)
Whole Lotta Altis (tried couple of years ago, not sure on current state)
BeCTI (ALOT of forks. Need to find one recent)
So far, waiting for Apex update. I'm 100% sure it will break both insurgency and liberation server (not to mention ALiVE / ACE mods, but they most likely will release fixed version same day as apex hits stable branch)

Well I hope we can get this up and running again! I got bit by the Arma bug again and had an interesting idea for a semi-persistent Arma mission series for TEST. Sorta like D&D for Arma (albeit considerably looser regarding some things) and run missions together. A successful mission means we get more vehicles/assets for next mission or a failure might set us back a bit. Hopefully there would be some interest in that, if so I'll gladly keep making missions (I'll even run Zeus on them and make sure it doesn't become too stale :D)
Yes. I caught the bug again myself. Would love to get something going.
Yeah I definitely know the feeling there - I don't want to worry about mods nearly as much, although it can be pretty amazing when they all work together. But currently I'm planning to make missions with a mostly vanilla version of Arma (some mods like ShackTac UI, but not more than a few).
my modpack is mostly RHS+ACE (however there is one additional plane, F-15 and one pack of camos as well), so i never had problems with mod conflicts. But some servers have absurd 40+GB modpacks, some admins even pack all addons to one folder (something like @MyUberModpack) and re-sign them (you already have those 15GB CUP Terrains and 10GB RHS? Fuck you, download our copies!). Worst case, modpack will include absolutely everything you will find on armaholic, including outdated and redundant stuff...
Yeah right now I'm working with CBA (obviously), ACE (removed Medical), ShackTac HUD/UI (you can actually use Steam Workshop to include this - makes it easier than downloading the files and adding launch properties), and ShackTac Map Gestures (I need to work on this slightly - need to ensure the server is running it as well as all clients).
this one can be (and should be) used on client-side only. No need to run in on server.
