Setting up a new server (been a long time)


goldenpsp

Question

Hey all,

So I have been away from this mod for a looong time (years?).  Not so much any other reason than life got busy.  I've had the itch to play again so I'm setting up a dedicated server for myself and some friends.  I have the basic server working with the latest epoch etc.  I wanted to add a few mods.  It has been so long and so many threads seem old that it seemed better to ask here than blindly guess what mods are best to use these days.  I'm trying to keep the server fairly basic but wanted to add:

 

1. Roamin AI

2. AI missions

3. self bloodbag

4. Deployable bicycle (I remember using one that deployed a bike, motorcycle and mozzie)

5. vehicle refueling

Any tips/favorite mods that serve these functions that work with the latest epoch would be greatly appreciated.

@goldenpsp

selfbloodbag is included by default in the new epoch 1,6. you will find the option to enable/disable in your init.sqf

about Roaming AI- WAI missions- deployable bikes and refueling is all in arma2 mod section (not in arma2 legacy)

anyway take a look on this guide: Show you how to install most of commons mods from 0. also at the end have a server pack with all steps maded before if u need check anything.

Wellcome back again!

THANKS.  I was looking under A2 Community Projects and everything looked really old.  Completely missed the other sections, DERP.  Hate to say it but even with better graphics I still prefer the A2 zombie experience even over the A3 mods, Dayz SA etc.

anyway here you have the mods updated that you named before:

refuel:

Spoiler

 

deployable bike and anyother thing that you want:

Spoiler

 

WAI missions:

Spoiler

 

DZAI missions:

Spoiler

 

selftrans...open your init.sqf and find this lines:

Spoiler

DZE_SelfTransfuse = true;

 

a lil tip: to customize a lil more the default mods included in epoch 1.6

open your init.sqf

Spoiler

find this line:


#include "\z\addons\dayz_code\configVariables.sqf" // Don't remove this line

paste below:


#include "dayz_code\init\configVariables.sqf"

 

now create this path if u dont have it:

mpmissions\your instance\dayz_code\init\

and into this create configVariables.sqf
