[Ahoy world! (hehe)]

Hey all,

 

I've been registered here for a while now but never really connected to TS, and I've uninstalled & reinstalled Arma countless times now so that didn't help :-D

 

Either way I'll probably be around from time to time (when I'm not busy with Battlefield things, as I'm the owner of an 8vs8 team and an Admin of Battlefield's biggest competitive league).

 

I look forward to seeing you all :-D

Sorry to bump this again, I thought i'd finished but when I'm in game one of the notifications that pops up in the upper right of the screen shows the wrong TS. I can't find it in the editor, can you tell me where to find it?

 

Sorry again xD I'm a total Arma editor noob xD

Thanks for all the help guys, the server is now up and running

You cannot edit mission.sqf in an external editor. You need to open the mission in the Mission editor in ARMA and change it there.

The file is automatically generated and it needs to be in a very specific way, so any tampering outside of the ARMA editor will probably break it. If you have jsrs (and probably some other mods) installed an try to edit it in ARMA editor you will get some dummy objects automatically added to the mission file that will break it.

Ok thanks.

One question, I can't seem to edit the configs in the editor using the Splendid Config viewer thing. Am I being dumb or do I need to do it another way? THe only thing I have left to do is change the TS address on the Pilot class names I think.

If you did unpack the pbo then it sounds like you either are not running a mod on your server that you created a dependency for. If you are adding a mod to the mission you will need to run said mods on your server. It is possible that you are not trying to add a mod but a mod you use automatically creates a dependency and you would need to clean the mission.sqm file for it. I know JSRS used to do this but i don't know of any other mods that do so.

Invade & Annex is the only mod I've got installed and I've definitely played the version I'm trying to run on the server

Just thought I'd check. The problem is: You're doing it wrong!

 

You need to download a PBO extractor like pboview, extract it so it reads <mission name>.Altis, go into ArmA 3 and edit the mission in there and remove/edit the marker then save it.

 

Then repbo it using the same program you used to extract it and it should run. Editing through NP++ will break it in some places unfortunately.

Sorry, my fault for not clarifying, I did unpack the PBO using a software and then edited the individual files with NP++. 

 

So would you recommend I do it all in the in game editor?

The first time I tried I just used notepad to edit it (but that didn't work because it doesn't support encoding)

 

So then I swapped to using Notepad++, and I can change the TS addresses correctly from there, it's just that I can't actually get in game, the role selection screen works but nothing else does.

Hey,

 

My Battlefield 4 platoon now have an Arma server and we want to run Invade & Annex on it.

 

I am able to get I&A working, but all the TS addresses and logos/billboards are wrong (because I haven't changed the mission).

Any time I try to change the TS addresses and images the server stops working (In it's current state I can connect but when I choose a role and then connect it takes me back to the role choosing screen).

 

Can someone who knows what they're doing help me/create an altered mission for me? (Arma NOOB <3 xD)

 

Thanks
