Horra! Now all I have to do is master those controls...

[Coridon]

A fantastic surprise...thanks, Apo!

Hmmm I tried to join but it never did connect. I'm not sure what the issue was. It just sat there for a very long time.

Yeah, me too!! Listening to the axe shreading from the intro music can only sustain me for so long!!

Awsome!

Thanks Champ.

Yeah, the controls are complex, but once you get them down, it is very nice.

I might have an issue with the mission selection. I'll get it resolved as soon as I can, but my computer time is pretty limited until tomorrow night.

Hey Apophis, in the BI Forums there's some discussion (LINK) about the demo server failing to load a map. One of the configuration items sets the number of players required to vote to 3. The solution seems to be to set the value to 1. Below is an example posted on the forums:

passwordAdmin = "*****";
password = "";
hostname="Adjust.nu ArmA Dedicated Demo Server";

motd[]=
{
"Welcome to MadMartigaN's ArmA Demo Server",
"DO NOT SELECT CTI MODE OR THE SERVER CRASHES",
"Have fun and play fair",
};
motdInterval=7;

voteThreshold=0.5;
reportingIP="armedass.master.gamespy.com";
voteMissionPlayers=1;
kickduplicate=0;
maxPlayers=8;

JOIN THE DEMO SERVER.

To start it, vote someone as admin

#vote admin (the chosen one)

the admin can then do
#missions to choose the mission. See you there!!

Congrats to Bhack/Houdini for figuring this out!

I'm glad I noticed this topic, or I would have never gotten around to playing this properly. I'm there.

[Rick_the_new_guy]

Just got on for a few mins. Looks good.

Thanks guys for the good trouble shooting.

I need to set up my teamspeak to go to the seagull channel.

I recommend that the demo gets a seagull channel also, so that both servers can enjoy their deaths.

[Lorian]

Wow, awesome game! Can't really think of anything else to say, just, love it.

[Rick_the_new_guy]

Congrates to the demo team for getting the job done on the coop mission

SL and Alpha leader= B-Hack (K.I.A.) Bronze star
Bravo Leader= BigGayAl (K.I.A.)
Assistant SL= Rick (Purple heart)
Freeky (K.I.A.)
Shackey *
Candy (K.I.A.)
Clodhopper (K.I.A.)

* used the only AI respawn.

Server is awsome. I will not need to upgrade at all.

[Rick_the_new_guy]

Is it true that going to Capture the island mode will crash the server?

Hey Rick...in the link to the Bohemia Forums I posted above, there's some discussion about the demo server problems. Not very comprehensive, but most of the attention seems to be on the "real deal", not the demo.

Anyway, here's the link again..."apparently" CTI mode crashes the server, though we didn't try it yesterday before I left.

ArmA Demo Server problems

It may be a good idea for us to keep an eye on this thread and see how it develops.
