Today i want to imagine a new Tool for Arma3 Server Administration. Its a tool which start and stop your Arma3 Server with an included scheduler.
You can adapt the Scheduler to ya wishes. No Problem if you want restart 3 - 4 - 5 times the day - Arma GoRcon would do it. Should it be that your Arma3 Server get sacrifice by an windows programm or any other problems -  then GoRcon got information and restart automaticlly your Arma3 Server.
 

Now in the next step i'll show you some impressions how Arma GoRcon looks like.

First you have the scheduler.json - this file includes the restart parameter like this :

Well if you choose this Programm for yaself then you can use this scheduler. It takes an 6 hours restart.

Now i present you the heart of GoRcon - the config.json :

{
    "arma": {
        "enabled": true,
        "ip": "",
        "port": "",
        "password": "",
        "keepAliveTimer": 10,
        "keepAliveTolerance": 4,
        "showChat": true,
        "showEvents": true
    },
    "scheduler": {
        "enabled": true,
        "path": "schedule.json"
    },
    "watcher": {
        "enabled": true,
        "path": "E:\\Exile\\Server\\arma3server.exe",
        "params": [
			"-BEPath=E:\\Exile\\Server\\battleye",
			"-profiles=E:\\Exile\\Server\\aCryl",
			"-config=E:\\Exile\\Server\\config.cfg",
			"-name=aCryl",
			"-port=2402",
			"-autoInit",
			"-malloc=system",
			"-servermod=yourmodshere",
			"-mod=yourmodshere"
        ],
        "logToFile": false,
        "logFolder": "logs",
        "logToConsole": false
    }
}

Well thats all. You can download it here : https://github.com/playnet-public/gorcon-arma/releases

There are more.  But all those files do indeed exist on the server in the locations indicated in the messages.  And they are in the overrides section of my mission config.CPP file.  As I said, no errors or warnings in the server.RPT.  Is this just on the client side and showing up because they're scripts, not mods?  Should I be concerned?  Is this normal?  I don't know if this happened in the past because I generally don't look in the client.RPT and don't keep the historical files for too long.  I focus on getting the server.RPT running relatively clean.

Try this one out.

Yes it does cost a monthly fee, but your getting a great deal IMHO. It's being actively updated on just about a weekly basis with new features. 

Their not fully done with this yet..Alot more to come. 

 I have suddenly developed an issue where the server I admin for, has (literally overnight) stopped showing up in my ArmA 3 server lists (not even in my 'recent' or 'friends' playing lists), so I turned to A3Launcher to find it & that displays the server as 0/0 population (even when my friends are on it) and reports the ping to be 9999, when I try to connect to it anyway, my ArmA 3 starts, then hangs on the ArmA III logo screen, forcing me to 'alt-tab' to stop the program running. 

 I have also attempted to join friends through Steam, but Steam reports the server as being offline, which it isn't. When I ran a check on the server using it's I.P address, it also reports it as being offline. I have a friend that literally lives down the road from me & he was playing on it fine.

 I am quite infuriated at this, as we have only recently started to run this server & it's starting to pick up numbers quite nicely, if there is any advice you could give me to remedy this I would be EXTREMELY grateful.

 Many thanks,  Ironside.

When I put their UIDs in the xml file, nothing happens when the server is full

Slot limit is put to 45, max player slots is at 50. no "#" infront of kick message and the slot limit.

Any help?

Also I don't think this is the correct place to place the thread, sorry about that if the thread is not on the right place

When I try to compile my files i get an error with wrong input string format.

Can someone help me out with this?

we are trying to make the joint rails system work (the thing that shows you at the trader which stuff fits for the weapon your wearing)

i don't really know how to make this work for the CUP mod. The CBA_A3 mod says that the joint rails system is included, but i dont know if thats true for the CUP mod.

Any ideas?

I would really appreciate any help

Best regards chinchill3r

and where find stamina bars ? loock

Can someone please explain step-by-step how do install MCC4 to a dedicated exile server. I'm using G-portal as a host.

Also is it possible to get it only as a serverside mod for me? 

Tried a few ways but couldn't get far...something about keys blah blah

["Land_SignM_taxi_F", [6808.5, 5698.42, 335.23], [-0.328028, -0.944668, 0], [0, 0, 1], false],

and convert it back to form that can be used in the mission.sqm? I know you can use the debug console, but it make the items static and unchangeable. I was thinking of making a converter, but was lazy and figured Id ask first. No need reinvent if it already exists.

I love the Altis map and many of the elements of the Tanoa map (such as the buildings and heavy dense foliage and trees), but do not want to set up a Tanoa map Exile server. The Tanoa map seems to have *issues* and doesn't seem very well suited for survival based mods like Exile and Epoch anyway. So I thought I might give myself a big project to work on using the 3DEN tools and make several southern areas of the Altis map look more Tanoa-like with the buildings and trees and such. I can find several of the buildings and rock formations from Tanoa items, but I cannot find any of the trees and dense foliage objects. As a matter of fact, I also cannot find any objects for the trees that are normally on the Altis map either.

Is there any future updates planned for the 3DEN tools to add in these missing objects or is there a way I can add these in?  I know where many object IDs can be found from here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Assets , but is there a way to add them into the list of objects in 3DEN editor for Exile?

With this batch file you can -

• Set the restart time down to the second
• It tells you when your server started and when it is going to restart automatically
• It tells you if/when your server crashed and restarts it for you
• Time stamps everything so you know when everything happened
• No need for BEC or anything else third party, just PowerShell and my server came with it
• Checks on your server every 3 seconds and restarts when needed
• Timer restarts if your server crashes

This screenshot shows it running at 1 minute intervals to test and display the status messages. I killed the process manually to test the process checker and restart. Then I let it run for the 1 minute and you can see it notifies you that it is time for a restart and does so without user interaction.

Usage -

Set your restart timer (below is for 4 hour restarts)

set hours="4"
set minutes="0"
set seconds="0"

 

Set your launch parameters and folder paths

REM // Launch parameters
start "Exile" /high "arma3server.exe" -port=2302 "-config=@ExileServer\config.cfg" "-cfg=@ExileServer\basic.cfg" "-profiles=config_exile" -name=Exile "-servermod=@ExileServer;" "-mod=@Exile;" -malloc=tbbmalloc -autoinit -enableHT

 

 

Run the batch file. Place the batch file in the same folder as arma3server.exe

The Batch File (save as auto_restart.bat or anothername.bat)

@echo off
cls

set gameserver=Arma Exile

title %gameserver% Auto Restart / Process Checker

:start


REM How long until auto restart?
set hours="4"
set minutes="0"
set seconds="0"

REM // Launch parameters
start "Exile" /high "arma3server.exe" -port=2302 "-config=@ExileServer\config.cfg" "-cfg=@ExileServer\basic.cfg" "-profiles=config_exile" -name=Exile "-servermod=@ExileServer;" "-mod=@Exile;" -malloc=tbbmalloc -autoinit -enableHT


REM //////// You do not need to update anything else below this line ////////


REM Pull, display and create some time functions
for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('powershell "(get-date %time%).AddHours(%hours%).AddMinutes(%minutes%).AddSeconds(%seconds%).ToString('yyyyMMddHHmmss')"') do set endtime=%%G
for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('powershell "(get-date %time%).ToString('HH:mm:ss')"') do set nowtimeclean=%%G
for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('powershell "(get-date %time%).AddHours(%hours%).AddMinutes(%minutes%).AddSeconds(%seconds%).ToString('HH:mm:ss')"') do set endtimeclean=%%G

echo %time% - %gameserver% Server started at %nowtimeclean% and will restart at %endtimeclean%

:checkarma

for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('powershell "(get-date %time%).ToString('yyyyMMddHHmmss')"') do set nowtime=%%G

REM ////////// TIMER CHECK ///////////
if "%nowtime%" gtr "%endtime%" (
echo %time% - It is time to restart %gameserver%!
echo.
echo.
goto restartarma
)
REM ////////// END TIMER CHECK ///////////

REM ////////// PROCESS CHECK ///////////
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq arma3server.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "arma3server.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" (
echo %time% - The process is not running, restart %gameserver%!
echo.
echo.
goto restartarma
)
REM ////////// END PROCESS CHECK ///////////


REM restart not needed. Check again in 3 seconds.
TIMEOUT /T 3 /NOBREAK >NUL
goto checkarma


:restartarma
REM Either the server crashed or it is time for a restart. Kill the process and go to start.
START taskkill /f /im arma3server.exe 2>nul
TIMEOUT /T 3 /NOBREAK >NUL
goto start

 

If you can improve on this then by all means please do and post your fixes / updates / optimizations.

Enjoy!

I had the idea originally,  and then shared it earlier, then @joew00 had adapted the idea and improved on it. So this is a combined release from us both.

Steam Workshop Batch Scripts

This is a collection of windows batch files

These scripts were created in combined efforts by joew00 and Tinboye

    joew00 - http://exile.majormittens.co.uk/profile/89117-joew00/
    tinboye - http://exile.majormittens.co.uk/profile/5022-tinboye/

Installation

first thing you need to do is download steamcmd from https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD Once downloaded place the steamcmd.exe in a folder where you want steamcmd to reside. example: C:\servers\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe

Once you have a location set, run steamcmd.exe so it will download all the rest of the files.

Then edit all 3 batch files and set steamcmd path. set "steamcmdpath=C:\path\to\steamCMD"

    download_arma3server.bat this batch file will allow a person to download arma 3 server files to a set server folder specified. This batch you will need to specify where you want the Arma 3 Server files installed.

    set "steamcmdpath=C:\path\to\steamCMD"
    set "serverpath=C:\path\to\server"

    download_singlemod.bat this batch file will allow a person to download a single arma 3 steam workshop item. When you run this batch file, you will be prompted to enter your steam username and password and then the workshop ID# you can get the ID# from the steam workshop URL. Example: you search google for arma 3 Cup Core and you get the url: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=583496184 the 583496184 is the ID# you would want to enter to download CUP Core.

    download_bulk_mods.bat this batch file will allow a person to download multiple arma 3 steam workshop items. this batch file is like the above, except you will see a list of mods. Example:

    set ModsName[14]="@CUP_Terrains_Core"
    set Mods[14]=583496184
    set ModDownload[14]=false

so you set the

  set ModDownload[14]=true

repeat this for every mod you want to download, then run the batch file.
Future Additions

I will be adding a batch file that will create symbolic links for each mod within the bulk mods script.

You can download it at

EDIT: Lets not being sharing other peoples work..

Error in Mikero DeP3d

Summary:

This tool was designed with being extremely light weight, and having the ability to monitor the server. I specifically designed this tool because I want my server to restart a certain way, as in, I wanted the server to have one restart be fully night. This was fairly easy in other mods, allowing you to control time with in the .bat itself, but in this is is stuck behind a pbo file. So I got creative and made a application that allowed me to on board different pbos files if needed. It also won't let the Arma server fail. If the application for any reason quits, it will open it back up. So as long as you server is stable, this application won't let it fail.

Installation:

This part is a little bit of a problem, the current version has no settings to adjust, so if you'd like to make this work, you'll have to change the source code provided. I provided the whole file on my github (.rar).

Notes:

This is my first release so be polite please

Also ill continue to update this thread when I add more features!

Description: 
Hello Exile Community! My name is JustCallMeAPro and I am a C# programmer of about 4-5 years and I'm here to bring you something I have been creating for the community for about 3 weeks now. As you can see above, the name of the program is called Exile Territory Management. This is a desktop app which allows the user to manage their territories for multiple servers if they play on multiple servers. Or even just a few territories on 1 server. You can set payment dates and get payment notification reminders when your PC boots up for every territory you've opted in to receive notifications for. I think this will help people pay their territory payments on time, and will better help the exile player overall. So far its a pretty basic program. I created this app to better myself in C# and learn more about how everything works. I do plan on releasing updates, however I felt that an auto-update system would not be worth it if I only plan on releasing like 1 or 2 updates. This program was developed on a Win7 64bit OS and was tested immensely and works. I have not tested it on Win8 (too lazy to download the .iso and make a vm), but I have tested it on Win10. From what my testers say, it works on Win10 without any problems. Please reply here if you have any issues, concerns, questions, or feedback. Thank you! This is my way of giving back to the community, and if you don't need it, don't use it. This is still a work in progress and I am not the most experienced programmer out there. This is only the second time I have messed with Visual Studio Installer. If anyone would like to help me out with either inno setup or anything similar to that, please contact me! I DO plan on releasing the source soon whenever I finish the documentation. This program is provided 'as-is' and is provided free of charge. Use at your own risk.

How to use the program:
Please note everything in this program is manually managed by the user. Nothing connects to your server, pings your server, or modifies anything of your server.
To add a server:

1. If your program is not open, you can open it by either double clicking on the exile logo in your system tray in the bottom right or right clicking on the exile logo and click 'Restore Main Window'
2. Right click on 'Servers and Territories' in the TreeView
3. Click 'Add New Server'
4. Either type in your server name manually, or if you have the IP of the server, you can type/paste it in the IP box and check the 'Automatically grab name from the internet' checkbox.
5. Click OK

To add a territory:

1. If your program is not open, you can open it by either double clicking on the exile logo in your system tray in the bottom right or right clicking on the exile logo and click 'Restore Main Window'
2. Select the server you want to add a territory to in the TreeView
3. Right click the server
4. Click 'Add New Territory'
5. Type in your territory name, and territory owner GUID (which is your SteamID64). Then select the date your payment is due (click on the drop down arrow), and then check whether you would like to receive notifications for that territory (daily or day before payment).
6. Click OK

Changelog v0.8.05:

• Source included (documentation is not complete however)
• Fixed an autosave bug with setting new payment date
• Main window now shows when opening from desktop shortcut or applications folder
• Added command line parameter support for two commands: -showmainform and -shutdown [type] ("all" or "other")

Once i try to join my server directly via the in-game server browser it lets me join perfectly fine. So this must mean that there is an issue with A3Launcher. How can i fix this, because i feel like im losing a lot of potential players with this bug.
