Lan Servers

[Window Licker 504]

Edit: I am referring to Standalone, thank you for the help, I was under the impression that it might be possible after the last patch.

 

Hi I looked around here and couldn't find anything relevant, as the title suggests I am wanting to know if/how to host a LAN server and are you able to play from the server that is hosting or do you need a dedicated machine? Also does it spawn zombies and items the same as when I play normally?

 

To be clear I'm not looking to connect to any hive and don't care if my character vanishes if I restart the server.

 

Any advice hint's and tips would be greatly appreciated.

You cannot host a LAN server yet from my knowledge.

Standalone? No. Mod? Yes. You don't need a dedicated server. Yes it spawns items. I run one once in a while on the same laptop on which I play. You'll need all of the Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead stuff to merge. You can find the private server and instructions at opendayz.net.
