OK, just recently started my own dedicated server (not hosted, just on my LAN). I followed the excellent instructions on how to install an exile server, that went pretty smooth. Next step was to add another mod, I chose Ryan's Zombie and Demons mod I will include as much detail as possible, often when searching forums it seems like alot of information was missing or assumed known. So most of the detail is really for us newbs. If others are reading this and are unclear about anything I am happy to add screen shots or additional information and I will correct it once the community points out my errors. Step 1: Download mod Step 2: Place mod in dir --> C:\Arma\Server\@ZombiesandDemons Step 3: Place file RyanD.bikey in key dir (C:\Arma\Server\keys) Step 3: Add the mod to the startup parameters, mine looks like this; (I use the default bat file from the server install instructions) start "Arma3" /min /wait arma3server.exe -mod=@exile;Kart;Mark;Heli;@ZombiesandDemons; -servermod=@exileserver; -config=C:\Arma\Server\@ExileServer\config.cfg -port=2302 -profiles=SC -cfg=C:\Arma\Server\@ExileServer\basic.cfg -name=SC -autoini Step 4: Modify mission.sqm in C:\Arma\Server\mpmissions\Exile.Altis (The dir Exile.Altis is only present after unpacking the Exile.Altis.pbo file, I used PBO Manager) Original Code in mission.sqm ======================================== version=12; class Mission { addOns[]= { "exile_client", "a3_map_altis" }; addOnsAuto[]= { "exile_client", "a3_map_altis" }; ======================================== Modified Code in mission.sqm ======================================== version=12; class Mission { addOns[]= { "exile_client", "a3_map_altis", "ryanzombies" }; addOnsAuto[]= { "exile_client", "a3_map_altis", "ryanzombies" }; ======================================= Note: in the modified code my first thought and mistake was to list "ZombiesandDemons" as the addon, but that created errors, then I realized they may want the file name for the PBO file within the @ZombiesandDemons directory, that did get rid of my errors but still no zombies with the above config. Step 5: Repack the Exile.Altis dir with PBO manager Step 6: Launch the server, join, look for zombies Step 7: Accept fact that there are still no zombies anywhere and hope someone on forums can help. Thanks in advance!

Ya, it shows in A3, my teammate connects up that way, just for whatever reason I can't connect with it, starts off like it is going to but then gives me the connecting fail message. Everything seems to work fine if I connect through LAN game. Also, I do have 2302 through 2305 forwarded. Not a huge issue, just usually turns out to be something simple I missed. Thanks again, you have helped me with a couple issues already today.

Spot on, was using bAdmin to give tabs, status bar showed one thing but # of tabs was showing incorrect, thanks again for the help. I am all up and running!

Thanks GamersRoost, you the man! Just had to comment out two lines, works fine now. The only issue I see in game is sometimes I get "Failed to Purchase Vehicle: 5"

Thanks for fast response, it is only listed once in TRADERS\Exile\ItemListExile.hpp, I will comment it out. I had originally done that but it did the same thing for another item a few lines down. But I will comment each line out or delete dupes if they exist. Thanks again! Will report back soon.

Hey all, just hoping someone can point out my mistake. I tried to set this up and checked the instructions several time but I am still missing something. I get the error "member already defined" (see screenshot). I did try to comment line 512 out but then the error repeated a few lines down so I backed out of that idea. Initially I am just trying to get the RHS mods working but will add the some of the others once I get RHS working. config.cpp and rpt file below. Thanks!!

Thanks Thanks kuplion, worked like a charm. I documented every step I took much like above but included the additional steps for others who may have the same issues. Any clue where the right place to post that is? Edit my initial post or create new? Thanks again!

From what I can tell the extDB2.dll is not blocked, according to the file properties. As far as the DLL's in the correct location, I have not moved any of them, just followed the server install procedure. Also, others can connect with A3 Launcher outside of the LAN without issue. Thanks!

I did edit the My.ini file as suggest, I had followed the guide which had indicate to set that to: sql-mode = "" I also had not forwarded the 2301 port so I added that as well. Results Same result with A3 launcher...Connecting Failed I can go through standard game interface and connect into the game through LAN, but can't use the launcher. Maybe the laucher doesn't work for games hosted within LAN?? Again, thanks for the help guys/gals!!

Just changed the IP as suggested, server still shows up, so not sure why I thought I needed to change that. I can start into the game with A3 launcher and it all looks good but says "connecting failed" and is locked up at that point. Any other files that I can provide that would help? RPT file before (wrong IP) 18:52:40 Client: Nonnetwork object 2692f700. 18:52:40 "ExileServer - MySQL connection error!" 18:52:40 "ExileServer - Please have a look at @ExileServer/extDB/logs/ to find out what went wrong." 18:52:40 "ExileServer - MySQL Error: Unable to locate extDB2 extension!" 18:52:40 "ExileServer - Server will shutdown now :(" 18:52:40 "SC/BIS_fnc_log: [preInit] ExileServer_fnc_preInit (124.001 ms)" RPT file after correct IP 21:10:57 "ExileServer - Server is loading..." 21:10:57 Client: Nonnetwork object 26d1f700. 21:10:58 "ExileServer - Installed extDB2 version: 70" 21:10:58 "ExileServer - Connected to database!" 21:10:58 "ExileServer - Database protocol initialized!" 21:10:58 "SC/BIS_fnc_log: [preInit] ExileServer_fnc_preInit (429.001 ms)"

I was having probs seeing the server, did a bunch of searching, i do run the server on a dedicated computer. Anyway, once I changed the IP it then showed up in A3 Launcher. Will change it back and see if that helps. And yes I did install Vcredist as the excellent guide had indicated. Thanks for the quick reply.
