Server Starting with wrong map

[dnk_paul]

Hey All

 

I wanted to give Australia a go on the new update. I've updated my server.cfg, but when I start the server and try to connect to it, its still showing me (and never loads) altis.

 

Can anyone provide any advice?

 

Edit: It looks like my game is always trying to load Altis on other servers running Australia, any help?!

Check your config.cfg

class Missions
{
    class Epoch {
        template = epoch.Australia; // DO NOT CHANGE THIS, IT WILL BREAK YOUR SERVER
        difficulty = "veteran";    // difficulty settings: veteran == NORMAL, mercenary == HARDCORE
    };
};

Change your launch parameters, Australia also requires All in arma terrain pack

Ah, i dont have that map pack! That'll be why it's not working.

Thanks Richie.

You want This Version for clients and This Version for the server, although you can use the larger one server side, makes no difference apart from the size.

Don't forget to add all the keys, there's 3 of them.

After just playing on it on your server, I think it's too big for us! So it's all good :)

It is the largest map out, try Esseker (Also requires AiA TP) or Takistan was always a favorite of mine, for a smaller map Chernarus_Summer is a smaller version of Chernarus.

Next Epoch update will bring new maps, I'm currently working on Sahrani and after that is Panthera.

I think Altis is ok.

 

I think it mainly depends on how busy the server is and your game type. Our server is a PVE server with anywhere from 7-14 players on during peak times (evenings and weekends), and I sometimes feel that even Altis is too big if there aren't many people.

 

Might have a go with some of the other maps on our test server to see which I like best and which I think is the best size for the number of players we have

More maps are coming, just cast your vote and i'm working through them in the order they get most votes :)

This is the config.cfg:

class Missions
{
	class Epoch {
		template = epoch.Australia; // DO NOT CHANGE THIS, IT WILL BREAK YOUR SERVER
		difficulty = "veteran";    // difficulty settings: veteran == NORMAL, mercenary == HARDCORE
	};
};

the linux start script (is the startscript from the epochmod server files):

MODS=@allinarmaterrainpacklite\;@australia\;@epoch
SERVERMODS=@epochhive

have added this mods in the root folder of arma3:

 

@allinarmaterrainpacklite

@australia

@epoch

@epochhive
