Here at ArmaHosts, we strive to bring you the best service available, JUST FOR ARMA. Because we specialize in this vast and complex game, there are a lot of areas we excel in, compared to other game server providers out there. To further your experience, we have completely overhauled the commandline system available in the control panel. This update will enable much easier modification of the commandline, enabling things that caused a lot of problems and frustration in the past. Below are the modifications outlined:

Custom Commandline
Example of New Commandline System

  1. You now have the option to easily go between server and headless client modes. (Simply de-select the "Run as Server" option to bring up Headless Client options)
    • Headless Client Options
  2. You can now specify server only mods along with regular mods in a much easier fashion:
    • You do not need to type -serverMod= or -mod=
    • You CAN use spaces in the mod names
    • Server only mods and regular mods can be put in separate fields
  3. You can specify other common commandline options used when operating Arma Servers. Descriptions are as follows:
    • Auto Initialize: Automatically initialize mission just like first client does. (Note: Server config file (server.cfg) must contain "Persistent=1;")
    • Enable File Patching: Allows loading of unpacked data. (Ex: .sqf files, and others are able to be run outside of .pbo files)
    • World: Specify the default loaded world on server launch. (Ex: Altis, Tanoa, Stratis, etc.)
    • PROFILE: Specify the location of the user-profile folder.
