Chunk. No Captain Chunk.

Posted

i know this is a little off topic, but Im attempting to create a small launcher for my community using Visual basic.
I have most of the basics down. But when I create a button to join my server using this code:

steam://rungameid/33930//-connect=206.221.176.66:2602 -nosplash -world=empty -mod=@dayz;@DayZOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch1051

But once I launch this script (you guys can try it also) I get this error:

Addon 'sauerland' requires 'Chernarus'.

my server is not running saurland, it is running Chernarus.

if anyone could help out that'd be great!

If you are trying to run Overpoch, should you really have "@dayz" in there? 

 

I think if you have your Arma 2 Steam installation set up with the proper order of enabled mods, you should not need to use the -mod: command. 

The @dayz was just a test. The launch without it was just launching arma 2: operation arrowhead.

You 

 

steam://rungameid/33930//-connect=206.221.176.66:2602 -nosplash -world=empty -mod=@dayz;@DayZOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch1051

But once I launch this script (you guys can try it also) I get this error:

Addon 'sauerland' requires 'Chernarus'.

So the problem is sauerland uses assets from Chernarus and in doing so requires it. The way you are launching the game is just running ArmA 2 OA standalone which does not include chernarus, only ArmA 2 does. What you really want to do is launch Combined Operations, so the mod parameters should look something like:

-mod=%PATHTOARMA2%;Expansion;@dayz;@DayZOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch1051;
i.e. -mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2;Expansion;@dayz;@DayZOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch1051;

You may still be able to do it the same way steam used to launch combined operations, not sure. If you want to check that out open your ArmA 2 OA folder and look at the _runA2CO.cmd

Your problem is nothing related to how you are running arma, but how you are trying to run a steamapp, parameters don't work with steam:// the same way batch files do so you need to alter it a bit, here's pretty much what I use in a .bat file

My launcher works for me, the error (I think) is if Arma 2 is in a different Steam directory

 

Click to join my servers :D

I think I found the problem.

steam://run/33930//-connect=IP address -port=Port -mod=EXPANSION;@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZOverwatch -nosplash -world=empty -nopause

instead of:

steam://rungameid/33930//-connect=IP and Port -nosplash -world=empty -mod=@dayz;@DayZOverwatch;

Scratch that, still getting this error:

 

Addon 'sauerland' requires 'Chernarus'.

It's because Epoch needs A2 and A2OA to run and the path to A2 needs to be defined

1. Make sure you have latest versions of Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA installed.

2. (Optional) Verify gamefiles/cache of both games to double check from steam game options.

3. Go to: "Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2" and copy the "AddOns" folder to: "Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead" folder.

4. Do not verify any gamefiles/cache of Arrowhead game after this process or the gamefiles there will fuck up and you have to copy the addons folder over again.

5. The game will now work without giving this error again when launched.

 

Now all we have to do if find a way to put this in the .bat file...

Im not really good at this soooo...

but if you can figure it can you email me?
