Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n
In this guide you will learn how to launch and run a\u00a0base<\/strong>\u00a0Arma 3 server with some extra tools, on Windows Server. ARMA 3 is a popular open world, military style FPS.<\/p>\n
Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Before installing the Arma 3 server, you will need to install some dependencies.<\/p>\n
\n
Full copy of Arma 3 in your\u00a0Steam<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0library or Standalone Server Package.<\/li>\n
SteamCMD<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
TADST (Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5)<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
Battleye Extended Controls<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Installing SteamCMD and root server files<\/strong><\/h3>\nFirst,\u00a0 download SteamCMD<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0from the official Valve wiki.<\/p>\n
Step 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Extract SteamCMD to a folder of your choice.<\/p>\n
Step 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Launch\u00a0SteamCMD.exe<\/code>\u00a0and wait while it performs first time updates and setups.<\/p>\n
Step 3.<\/strong>\u00a0Login in with the Steam account that has Arma 3 in its library, by typing:<\/p>\n
login <username>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nRemember to replace\u00a0<username><\/code>\u00a0with your Steam login. If you have Steam Guard enabled than you may be asked for a authentication code, just do what you would when logging into the Steam client.<\/p>\n Step 4.<\/strong>\u00a0Set the installation directory by typing:<\/p>\n
force_install_dir <path>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nReplace\u00a0<path><\/code>\u00a0with your preferred server location. For example:\u00a0force_install_dir E:\/arma3ds\/<\/code>.<\/p>\n Step 5.<\/strong>\u00a0Install the server files by typing:<\/p>\n
app_update 233780 validate\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 5 (Extra).<\/strong>\u00a0If you want to update your server files automatically when an update is released, type the following instead:<\/p>\n
app_update 233780\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 6.<\/strong>\u00a0Exit SteamCMD by typing:<\/p>\n
exit\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNote that Arma 3 server files are quite large and may take extended periods of time to download.<\/p>\n
Extracting and installing TADST<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Step 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Extract TADST from the downloaded zip.<\/p>\n
Step 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Copy\/Move\u00a0TADST.exe<\/code>\u00a0to your server root files you downloaded earlier.<\/p>\n
Step 3 (Optional).<\/strong>\u00a0Make a shortcut of\u00a0TADST.exe<\/code>\u00a0in the root folder and copy it to your desktop for ease of access.<\/p>\n
Step 4.<\/strong>\u00a0Run\u00a0TADST.exe<\/code>\u00a0to create setup folders.<\/p>\n
Step 5.<\/strong>\u00a0Click “Server File” and choose\u00a0arma3server.exe<\/code>\u00a0which you installed earlier.<\/p>\n
Step 6.<\/strong>\u00a0Set up your server however you like, leave the ports default for the sake of following this guide, turn on BattlEye for cheat protection, choose your mission file, etc. Remember to save the profile by clicking “Save” down at the bottom.<\/p>\n
Installing BattlEye Extended Controls<\/strong><\/h3>\nStep 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Extract\u00a0BEC.zip<\/code>\u00a0to a temporary folder for configuration.<\/p>\n Step 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Open the Config folder and edit the files to your liking,\u00a0most<\/strong>\u00a0settings can be left default.<\/p>\n Step 3.<\/strong>\u00a0Critical<\/strong>: Copy the directory path of the battleye folder in your server files and paste them into the\u00a0BePath = D:\\Server_1\\BattlEye<\/code>, of course replacing the\u00a0D:\\Server_1\\BattlEye<\/code>\u00a0part.<\/p>\n Step 4.<\/strong>\u00a0Give the server a test run to do initial setups and such. Do this by running\u00a0TADST.exe<\/code>\u00a0and clicking\u00a0LAUNCH<\/code>.<\/p>\n
Configuring BattlEye and Server<\/strong><\/h3>\nStep 1.<\/strong>\u00a0After completing a test run, the server is now ready for configuration. Find\u00a0BEServer.cfg<\/code>\u00a0located in:<\/p>\n
Arma3ds\/TADST\/default\/battleye\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Make any personal configuration changes.<\/p>\n Running the server (simplified version)<\/strong><\/h3>\nStep 1.<\/strong>\u00a0After installing server root files, create a shortcut of the\u00a0arma3server.exe<\/code>\u00a0and place it on your desktop.<\/p>\n Step 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Right click the shortcut and edit the launch parameters like so:\u00a0\"D:\\example\\example\\arma3example\\arma3server.exe\" \"-profiles=D:\\example\\example\\arma3example\\A3Master\" -port=2302 -config=arma_server.cfg -world=empty<\/code><\/p>\n Step 3.<\/strong>\u00a0Now create a\u00a0arma_server.cfg<\/code>\u00a0file by creating a text document, this will contain all your configuration. Example configuration\u00a0on this pastebin<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Step 4.<\/strong>\u00a0To run your server, double click the shortcut you’ve created!<\/p>\n Required ports<\/strong><\/h3>\nRemember to open the ports required by Arma 3’s dedicated server.<\/p>\n Incoming:<\/p>\n \nUDP<\/strong>\u00a02302 (Arma3 game port) + (voice over net)<\/li>\n UDP<\/strong>\u00a02303 (Steam query port)<\/li>\n UDP<\/strong>\u00a02304 (Steam port)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOutgoing:<\/p>\n \nTCP\/UDP<\/strong>\u00a02344 (BattlEye 1)<\/li>\n TCP<\/strong>\u00a02345 (BattlEye 2)<\/li>\n UDP<\/strong>\u00a02302-2305 (Client traffic)<\/li>\n UDP<\/strong>\u00a02303 (Steam query port)<\/li>\n UDP<\/strong>\u00a02304 (Steam master traffic)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nUseful Information<\/strong><\/h3>\nFile Locations:<\/p>\n \n\\Users\\Administrator\\Administrator.Arma3Profile<\/code>\u00a0(Difficulty settings)<\/strong><\/li>\n \\Users\\Administrator\\Administrator.vars.Arma3Profile<\/code>\u00a0(Binary)<\/strong><\/li>\n \\Users\\Administrator\\Arma3.cfg<\/code>\u00a0(Bandwidth\/server settings)<\/strong><\/li>\n \\MPMissions\\<\/code>\u00a0(This is where custom made mission PBO’s need to be placed)<\/strong><\/li>\n \\arma3.rpt<\/code>\u00a0(Debug log, automatically created every time the server is started)<\/strong><\/li>\n \\arma_server.cfg<\/code>\u00a0(Manually created)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nConclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\nOverall, Arma 3 servers are very complex and customisable.
