View Full Version : ArmA Server - addons/mods


epoch
02-01-09, 12:05
The following addons/mods are required in order to play on the [T&T] ArmA server. Not all addons may necessarily be in use at the same time, but install them anyway.
Queens Gambit - this is purchased seperately if you bought ArmA when it first came out, or you'll already have it if you got ArmA Gold. You can run this all the time - if the server needs it, it'll use it. Invoked using -mod=DBE1 in shortcut
ACE Mod (http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=5125) - This adds a complete new element to ArmA gameplay, with more weapons, advanced medical system etc. Required for the majority of missions we'll be playing. To install simply run the downloaded .exe. Invoked using -mod=ACE in shortcut.
Avgani and Afghan Village (http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=5122) - this contains two maps, one of an Iraqi town, and the other an Afghan village area. Several missions have been released which use these maps. Click here (http://www.tacteam.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2200) for install guide.
Instant View Distance (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2597) - allows you to change your view distance in-game to override the map's default. I've installed mine in @InstantViewDistance. Don't install the event handlers - ACE does that.
So - for most of the time your ArmA shortcut mod parameter would be:

-mod=DBE1;@InstantViewDistance@Avgani;@ACE

Note: You may have called your Avgani mod something different.

IMPORTANT: The server will not allow you to join if you have any mods running other than those listed on this page.

*** Please check this page regularly for updates ***

Until we can get this SVN set up, someone with fast upload speeds might want to consider zipping their @SCAR, @US, @IVD, @Avgani and @MAPFACT folders up into a single file and then uploading them to somewhere - my lockon FTP folder would be fine.

Then no poor sod has to go through what I went through last night to get the game running!

I've zipped them up myself but it's looking like the upload would take a total of about 3 hours, and I'm not sure my connection will handle that (wifi).
