privat server setup question.

[skuba 0]

hello. to start off sorry for my not so good english.

im would like to set up my own dayz server just for me and my friends. (im not a *supernerd*sadpandaface* so it going to be hard)

the questions is

1. do i need to buy a new arma2/Operation arrowhead to make this server or can i simply install my arma games on my other pc and use it just for the files?

2. there is uncountable guids for making a server. would someone be so kind and direct me to a very simple one? or in some sort one that is safe for virus x) (u never know what u get from the interweb)

3. i dont have the best pc for the server. will it lag? go slow? fail cause its crap? think its 3.4ghz and nvidia 260 gtx. 8gb ram

im gonna look around somemore on the web but hoping for someone to hit me up on this post. as i said at the start im not the best pc user.. :P so please be kind to me :)

sorry if i break any rules on the forum/someone allready did this but i have really search IMO good and cant find my #1 question. the 2 others is just cause im hoping for a helpful soul to hit me up :)

Answer #1 - I'm not entirely sure but i think you can just sign in to you steam account and then download it.

Answer #2 - Just expirement with different videos and you should not get a virus, but if you do thats just sad for the person to do

Answer #3 - If you don't have a perfect gaming computer it should be pretty solid and smooth. I have a private server I run and it never lags but i don't have a gaming computer.

Hope this helps :D

This is where i started from.

Q1) No you can use the same as your game, you are allowed to host a server with just your 1 cd key.

Q2) I hope this link will help you out, theres 2 videos there.

Q3) Yes this is an issue, if your just going to play with 1 or 2 friends all will be fine. You have to understand that when you host a server and you play a game on the same pc, the pc needs to be pretty heavy, but if you just try you know what you can do.

First and most important advice i can give you is to BACKUP the whole arma directory before you start fooling around with this, in case of a major fck up you can just place your backup back.

If you are using steam, follow the videos.

Another good advice, READ the manuals,readme's or other forum talk on how to setup.

If you know how its done it can be done in 5 minutes, but the first time you just take your time.

BACK UP THE WHOLE DIRECTORIE(S) (if steam both directories need to be backedup) ( Arma2 and ArmaOA )

Just try it mate, but be prepared to SEARCH and READ

thanks alot for all ur replies! much appriciated!

hehe the game was only 25euros for both so its not that big of a loss even tho i did not need it xP

the advice about back up! smart! haha i did not think of that! downloaded arma and arrowhead 2 times to day so many thanks for that one lol :D

i found the tunngle forum in the end and thats the one i am trying to get to work. the only thing i dont get with that is how im suposed to get an Arma 2 combined operation folder in my steam folder where Arma is. (even tried to make one myself but that dident work) hehe. and steam wont let me start the game as combined operation for some reason.. bah. maybe my 4am early start on the day dident help.. who knows! so im gonna try again tomorrow :D im not giving up!

if someone know why or what is stopping me for starting the game as combined operation/how i get a combinde operation folder please hit me up!

(just have to add that i tried to restart steam and start it as admin but nothing will let me start it as combined) and im guessing thats the reason i dont have a CO folder?

thanks again to
