Commenting it out completely did the trick, server is public now. I also made sure to shut the server down first, I probably had not been doing that either. Also did: - Shutdown the server - Uploaded the DLC overwriting them with my own copies from client - Downloaded exile_server_config.pbo, unpacked it with pbo manager, modified config.cpp (vehicles and weather(hiwind thunderstorms!morefog!), repacked it up, backed up old pbo, uploaded the new one, start server, 'KILLED', made a funny face, checked permissions, chmod 0664 on the new pbo, startup, yay it works Result: All green dots for DLC now, modified config.cpp and repacked without destroying the server, got rid of the join password. And I found out autolock never unlocks automagically, so I turned it off. Still locking it on restart though for the 3 minutes. Or that might be because I used grid size 500 and 8 vehicles per grid. (black screen for that next load) That earned me a db table cleanout, then I changed it to 1500 gridsize and 3 vehicles per grid, so far the results were very good. Dropped server load back down below 0.5 (instead of 1+) and I'm cruising around on my new Loot-Tractor that I saw before I hit the ground (didnt see any others, so feels sparse still) I learned about a lot of settings id never seen too, THANKS You guys! Really having fun now. Lone admin merc! Im gonna die so much...

Thanks, I'll do that now. I meant the join password. Anytime I put password="" in the @ExileServer/config.cfg, It still wants a password (and empty didnt work). I might just try commenting it out, probably should have done that first. Right now, I've got a helo over me and rogue ais sneaking in on my innocent looting trip. Thanks for those tips, I'll try each of them asap.

Hello, I've got my first Exile server finally running (my own box, ubuntu server) and Having a blast. Few questions, I realize it may not be good to roll without a password, but I'm curious if its possible. I'm mostly playing, my configuration is backed up, and I know how to work the db when something goes wonky (it has a couple times playing namalsk, I'm back on atlis now) So I dont see too much danger in swinging the doors open for a 'internet random crazies' test. Right now, I've got the pass set to 'arma' and I'm just saying so in the server info, but only because when I set it blank, I cant login, is rolling with no password set a no-no? Ofc, I still have my rcon, server passes set to properly complex passes, not opening that up to public obviously. 2nd Question. I've got all the DLC (exile actually prompted me to buy it, so I could fly for our crew), and it looks like the ExileServer has it enabled too (steam account is GeekprojexGameHosting (I think)). When I log in with a3launcher to my server however, it shows Exile Mod with a green dot (ie: I have it on client) but the 3 DLC (Karts,MarksMen and Helos) are showing RED Dots. Does that mean what I think it means? Have I forgot to include this support somewhere on server? Or is it how I'm launching it, causing client to think its not available? more questions! I set up a3Xai before realizing DMS was what I needed to get some action going (missions, dynamic spawning of missions, etc), but a3xai was still neat, so I left it in when I configured,packed and installed DMS. I saw a bit of the DMS log seemed to notice a3xai was there, the text output seemed to indicate it would be either taking over its role entirely, or forcing it to use DMS as a proxy, not sure which, just guessing here, is that how that works? Is DMS better than a3xai? Should I remove a3xai or just let DMS handle its presence as it seems to be doing...? Further inquiry (ikr) Vehicles, previously, I played on a server not run by myself, was following some friends, and it seems like vehicles like cars, were more frequently *found* everywhere. I havent found one on my server yet (found a load of bikes!). Have I missed something here that I need to configure? Or is this simply a side effect of the server being brand new? Any other tips for people who've got things running fine, but dont know what needs fine tuning (like myself) are greatly appreciated. Its been awhile since I sat down and dedicated time to running a complex server, I'm enjoying it and I'd like to make mine a good one. Thanks in advance, Neurosys

What this guy said^ This is my first post, Just droppin a Thank you to the author of DMS. All exile authors, I've been doing dedi servers a loooong time and getting this one up was not so simple, but made it there. Now running Exile, A3XAI and DMS. I saw it looked like DMS detected a3ai and looks like its saying 'only use dms' thats fine by me just curious if im reading it right.
