Can get overpoch working but am having trouble moding - help?


Kurdain

Question

Ok,

 

Firstly I am EXTREMELY new to this, and I am sure there is 'common' knowledge about dayz/*poch servers that I just don't know. But I am reading a lot and trying, just after a week of frustration and errors I am now here asking for help.

 

2nd. I am just wanting to make a small server so me, my daughter and a few friends can connect and play, maybe 10 people max.

 

3rd. A little history:

 

Set up a VM on my PC using an old copy of Vista32 Ultimate. Works! YAY!

Followed this tutorial on how to get an Epoch server going:

 

VERY GOOD video by the way.

 

It works! YAY!

 

Made a back up of the folder. YAY!

 

Followed this tutorial to get an Overpoch server going:

 

Hard to follow with him correcting himself, but it worked! YAY!

 

Try to make a backup, VM locked up. BOO!

VM now corrupted. BOO!

 

Start over, dunno how to recover. BOO!

 

Overpoch now working again, run around, things seem to work. YAY!

Try to install sheeps pack, it won't run anymore. BOO! (I forget the errors it was 3 days ago).

 

Try to copy back my back-up, VM runs out of space. (set to dynamically grow but it won't). BOO!

Restart, make new much larger VM, windows, etc...

 

Now I am back at this point following the above Epoch tutorial:

 

EPOCH server WORKS again.

 

I just do not know how to get a working Overpoch with the popular mods working.

(TBH sheeps mod has way too  much stuff and sets gold prices such that you are richer than a king after 2 or 3 missions but I don't know how to get the nice things he has while omitting the rest)

 

If I follow the tutorial, I can get a basic server going, but following the vague instructions on any mod pack just blows up.

All state copy/paste/play...well it's not that easy for me apparently.

 

I have tried incorporating these 2 methods to get a modded Opoch server:

https://github.com/SKaydev/OverPoch-Complete-Pack(some sort of keys error, which I remember seeing on a forum before but can't find again)

and

https://github.com/Fallingsheep1985/0.15_Sheeps_Back_Baby_Standard_Overpoch(when I had a working Opoch server earlier)

 

I would very much like to teamspeak or skype with someone that could really walkthrough how to get things working, and wouldn't mind teaching me a little as to why also. I want to learn as well as get something going.

 

Meanwhile I will keep trying as I have back-ups of back-ups of back-ups and keep trudging forward...but...help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Ok.

Well followed this again:

https://github.com/SKaydev/OverPoch-Complete-Pack

 

and I can make it to the lobby, when I connect I get a tone of .pbo errors and something about keys. I remember seeing a thread on this somewhere, but I followed the instructions. There is something missing or unclear in the pack or instructions...I guess?

 

**can't make it actually**

Well I have it working and sheeps working also.

 

I needed to copy the overwatch key over into my keys folder.

 

Although I REALLY appreciate the work people put into these mods and packs, please don't label something as complete copy/past/play if it is not.

 

I am sure it's an obvious error to those that have done this before, for someone starting out it isn't and I rely on file descriptions a lot.

 

 

 

BTW SHEEPS PACK WILL APPARENTLY NOT WORK IF YOU FOLLOW THE OVERPOCH TUTORIAL VIDEO I POSTED.

Not sure why, but whatever.

Well if I knew how to do 1/2 of the things that sheeps repack includes I would be happy to piece it together, do you have time to help out? (really!)

 

So far things seem to be working OK.

 

I am getting a lot of such_and_such_weapon has been deleted or something error when I join. I've seen this on other servers and remember reading about it, just need to find or remember where.

 

Mainly right now I am having trouble getting a server config to work so I can turn off x-hairs and other items as well as set global AI skills.

 

I followed some of the threads here including bohemias website, but it is apparently not working or I am editing the wrong file.

 

Path:

C:\Users\Overpoch\Desktop\Overpoch Server\instance_11_Chernarus\Users\instance_11_Chernarus
