Title: Create your own Americas Army server!
Post by: MainMaN on November 23, 2003, 09:17:42 am
Heya, got a email on how to make it. So see if you guys can figure it out. Typhy got it to work so bugg him if you get stumped.

Only bad thing is.... hard to set up..... lag? depending on ur speed

Navigate to the System dir of America's Army

Make a copy of Default.ini and rename the copy to hoho.ini

Open hoho.ini and make the following changes:

Find localmap=Entry.aao and change it to localmap=Pipeline.aao (there are a variety of options, look in the map dir for more maps)

Find the line that says ServerActors=UTelnet.TelnetServer and comment it out (add a ; before the line)

Create a batch file in the System directory with the following line: armyops.exe -server ini=hoho.ini

Run the batch file.

Now, this will create a dedicated server which people can (and will, holy fuck it fills up fast) join. You can further tweak the hoho.ini file to add modify a variety of settings like maxplayers, listings, etc.

To connect to servers people host, pull down the console and type 'open '

Hopes this helps!

1.9 maps are:

Bridge.aao
Bridge_SE.aao
FLS.aao
HQ_Raid.aao
Insurgent_Camp.aao
JRTC_Farm.aao
Mountain_Pass.aao
Mountain_Pass_SE.aao
MOUNT_McKenna.aao
Pipeline.aao
Radio_Tower.aao
River_Basin.aao
Swamp Raid.aao
Tunnel.aao
Weapons_Cache.aao
Weapons_Cache_SE.aao

I'll try your suggestion, MM, after I'm done getting ?ber pissed off at my computer. ( It's like it refuses to use all my uspeed on the server ).

Jeb, are you refering to that app you gave me the link for a few months ago?

If so, he forgot one quite simple thing; to remove the authorization setup. You'll get "failed authorization - this is not an authorized server" if you try to use it. Or has he released an update? If so, hook me up.
