Arma3-Epoch-Linux-Server

A private hive Arma3 Epoch 0.3.0.2 server on Linux (Steam)

I don't modified "a3_epoch_server.pbo" and "epochserver.so" is not derivative.

Installation instructions

1. The following programs must be installed on your Linux system: screen, redis-server, perl.

   # apt-get install perl screen redis-server

2. Download and unpack steamcmd (http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz)

3. Download Arma 3 Dedicated Server using steamcmd:

   $ steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +login STEAM_USERNAME STEAM_PASSWORD +force_install_dir /home/user/epoch
   > app_update 233780 validate
   > quit
   

   Download and install Arma3 Epoch Mod 0.3.0.2 (http://epochmod.com/downloads/Epoch_Client_0.3.0.2.zip.torrent).
   
   ANY uppercase letter in a filename/dir will crash the server!

   $ for x in *; do mv $x `echo $x | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`; done
   

4. Install the required packages:
   $ sudo apt-get install libhiredis-dev
   $ sudo apt-get install libstdc++6
   $ sudo apt-get install g++-multilib
   For 64-bit only:
   $ sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

5. Check the system stack size:
   $ ulimit -s
   8192
   $ sudo cat /etc/security/limits.conf | grep stack
   

   • soft stack 8192
     
   • hard stack 8192

6. Run ./epoch.sh for test
   Watch the messages - they might inform you whether your installation failed!

7. Run ./restarter.pl
   $ screen -r
   Press Ctrl+A+D to detach the screen.
