ChillaxOwner 1 Posted November 23, 2012 Hello, I was wondering is there a place or a way I can install DayZ to my box? I own a 32GB Ram; 3TB of Space; Linux Debian Virtural box and I wanted to host a DayZ server on it. But saddly I can not find one. I've looked for hosting but they are way to much money when I just want 5 slots or something as a private server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ersan 219 Posted November 23, 2012 Nobody has compiled HiveExt on linux, you will need windows to run a server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

s0ylent 8 Posted November 26, 2012 I strongly dislike posts like this, sanzzess. If you run it on a linux box... fine... but then please tell the guy HOW you did it instead of bragging. Thank you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mafaioz@blackhats.no 0 Posted December 23, 2012 Why isnt there a way to host it on linux without wine? i want a linux variant. not some windows code. is there ever gonna be a linux variant? real one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
facoptere 180 Posted December 23, 2012 It is an old question.AFAIK running Arma2 on Linux is impossible if you want to call a dynamic library, like hiveext.dll on Windows. "callExtension" keyword is not implemented on Linux. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalkerDown (DayZ) 296 Posted December 23, 2012 i have 1.7.4.4 on my Linux Maschine :D with the new HiveExt :DYou're hosting it on windows (on an emulator), you're not hosting it on linux. It's like saying, i host Arma2 on my monitor.. nope, i'm hosting it on my PC where the monitor is connected.What we're looking for (and it will never happens.. nor for Arma2 at least) is a hive PORTING to be run natively on linux.

nn4e 2 Posted December 23, 2012 Wine is not emulator. Basicly its adapter from win api to linux and binary code is binary code and its running on same cpu not on monitor.offtop: I did not try to run server under wine, but try client. It worked, but it was hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalkerDown (DayZ) 296 Posted December 23, 2012 Wine is not emulator. Basicly its adapter from win api to linux and binary code is binary code and its running on same cpu not on monitor.Wine is not an (OS) emulator by definition, but in the end it adopts a layer to emulate (or to be exact to iterpret) the windows library (calls). Nor that it is any different for the end user: we're looking for a native solution or it would be a waste of resource: the purpose of this is to save the server costs eventually, it's not an academic experiment.

cunning 1 Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) I strongly dislike posts like this, sanzzess. If you run it on a linux box... fine... but then please tell the guy HOW you did it instead of bragging. Thank you.It may sound like bragging, but honestly I think it's just a different mindset. A linux guy messes around for hours to get something working, someone on a forum asks if that thing you've done, can be done... The answer is yes, I've done it. A lot of unix admins, myself included assume that's the answer that the questioner was looking for, and now that he knows it's possible he'll want to hack away at it and figure it out for himself. That's what we, for the most part like to do, if we didn't we wouldn't be unix/linux users/admins.I'd imagine that the thought in sanzzess's head is that if the questioner for some reason didn't feel like figureing it out (time constraints etc.) that he'd post a follow up or more than likely send him a PM since I'm sure there's very little interest in bash syntax (for example) on a forum not specifically dedicated to the subject.
