This Guide is based on a clean provision of our Arma 3 Server.

Although our mod manager will install all the files required for a vanilla setup of Arma3 Wasteland, there is some extra configuration required.

Step one (Install Mod Files):

Within your control panel, select tools from the menu and go to Mod Manager. Click the Install button next to the "Wasteland" and allow the files to be installed. (Do not worry if when the mod is finished, it still says "install" (this is a known bug).

Step Two (Set up database):

Within your control panel, select Management from the menu and go to Databases. Click the "Create" Button.

HOST: choose BanterUsers from the dropdown box.

NAME: arma3waste (for the purposes of this guide we will use this, but you can choose anything)

CONNECTIONS FROM: %

Then click submit Once this is complete.

Download a3wasteland.sql from your file manager (its located in the folder SQL_import).

Once downloaded, edit this file using notepad++ or any text editor of your choosing:

Change

USE `database_name`;

to

USE `your database name`;

There are 2 places where you need to change this, one is near the top of the file, the other is located at the bottoms of the file.

Save and close the file.

Next, open a new browser window and navigate to: https://phpmyadmin.mybanterserver.co.uk/ and log in using your database username and password.

Select "Import" from the top menu, click Choose File and select your a3wasteland.sql and click Go! This will install all your tables. You can now exit phpmyadmin.

Step Three

Go to the Management menu and choose File Manager.

Navigate to the @extdb3 directory and the click on the file extdb3-conf.ini to edit:

Change the following:

[A3W]
Database = a3wasteland
IP = 127.0.0.1
Port = 3306
Username = changeme
Password = changeme

to:

[A3W]
Database = your data base name
IP = your server ip address
Port = 3306
Username = your database username
Password = your database password

Click Save

Step Four

In this last step, we will tell your server what mods we have installed and ask the server to load the mission upon startup.

From the configuration menu, choose "Startup Parameters" In the "Extra Startup Parameters" box we are going to change this to -autoInit -filepatching like this:

Next edit the server-side only mods sections, and add the mods: @extdb3\;

Maps

We have uploaded 4 maps for use, the default is set to altis. to choose a different map, please edit the server.cfg file and comment out atlas, and uncomment the map of your choice. This file also contains your server name and welcome messages. 

Now start your server and you should be good to go! For further support, please go to http://a3wasteland.com/
