How do I host a DayZ server via CO?

[SheetHawk 1]

What's up guys, I just wanted to know how I host a DayZ server through Combined Ops? When I go to Combined Operations -> Multiplayer -> Internet and host a game; (Chernarus, Veteran, Team Deathmatch) there should be an option to change game mode to DayZ, but I can't find it. Also, if I try to run arma2oaserver.exe it crashes. Yes everything is installed correctly including DayZ.

Thanks

You are not able to "just" host a DayZ game like you would normally do for a Arma game.

If you want to host your own DayZ server you also have to host the DataBase which is used to be able to play a DayZ game.

Here is a link to maybe the most easy way to find out about how this DayZ hosting is working.

Make sure you make backups of your game directories before you start fooling around with stuff like this !

It says version 1.7.2.6, but this link is to the LATEST version.

Have fun :)

P.S. If you are looking for a way of playing dayZ because you have a global ban.... well your in bad luck, because also hosting your own DayZ server means a link to Batlleye. :)

Not necessarily, just wont be public hive if BE is disabled.

Thanks for the answers guys. No, I do not have any kind of ban and I just wanted to see if it was possible to do it without renting through Commander or doing it through Tunngle. I've checked the Tunngle way a couple of times but I was looking for an easier way so that I didn't have to backup 18 gig or whatever the game is on.

Thanks again.

So, I followed the tutorial that you linked Allie. But when all done (did follow the tutorial as supposed to), I get this message in the CMD server and MySQL laucher (the batch file) while loading everything up;

Starting MySQL database. Please wait 5-10 seconds.
 OK.


Executing spawn script...
ERROR 1054 <42S22> at line 1: Unknown column 'MaxDamage' in 'field list'
 OK.


Starting server...
 OK.

So, I get the error "ERROR 1054 <42S22> at line 1: Unknown column 'MaxDamage' in 'field list'" as you can clearly see. But, the spawn scripts still loads, and then returns "OK.", which must mean that the rest is still working, and the server starts afterwards. I myself can join it, my friend can too, but what does this affect? The car spawns? Human spawns? I checked line 1 and 'MaxDamage' but couldn't see anything wrong with it.

Basically the question is does this affect anything at all, and if so, what does it affect?

Thanks!
