My Infistar/Admin does not work

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

First off and foremost, if you did not purchase Infistar I would recommend doing that first.

 

STOP YOUR SERVER WHEN MODIFYING

 

I remember when i first started with survival servers about 3 years ago, for the life of me i couldnt understand why it did not work when i bought it and did not mess with files yet. I would go into the game and my F2 would not do anything.

 

Besides needing the obvious tools you will need:

1. Steam ID (SKIP IF YOU KNOW IT)
2. Purchased Infistar Antihack w/SurvivalServers
3. Knowledge of your control panel

First Let's Find your Steam ID for Arma (UID)

1. Start your Arma Operations Arrowhead through Steam (just let it go to the main menu)
2. Click on "Player Profile" find your name and click "Edit".
3. The number you see pop up, that is your ID. Write it down and look at least 3 times to make sure you have it right.

Second Let's go to your Control Panel

1. On the right side you will see "Antihack", check that box and make sure the field boxes appear under.
2. The very first Box is where your Steam/UID goes (NEXT TO SUPERUID)
3. Make sure there are no spaces before or after your numbers, no quotations. Just the numbers (check 3x)

Third Let's Download your Server PBO

1. Before you hit update and restart button, we need to verify you have the antihack command.
2. Download your server pbo by clicking on the "Download".
3. After you unzip your folder, and extract the pbo go into the server folder and into init folder, there you will see a file called "server_functions.sqf".
4. Open the file with Notepad++  and scroll to the very bottom of the page. If you don't see:

#include "\Antihack\SurvivalAntihack.sqf"

Then make sure you copy and paste that line into the bottom end.

 

       5. Save. Compile your pbo

       6. On your control panel go to the server pbo section and click on the BROWSE tab, find your server.pbo not server folder, click ok. Then update and restart with the bottom button.

 

When you are in the game hit ESC. Make sure you see the Red Infistar/antihack words at the bottom of the ESC menu.

If you don't you did not pack your pbo correctly or save.

Go back and Check everything again by re-downloading the server pbo and checking to see if the server_functions file has that line of code at the bottom.

METHOD 2

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

• Get your SteamID by following above instructions in the first section and add it to the Antihack field in your control panel

 

• If your antihack is unchecked, check the box, add your steam ID and restart the server using the Bottom Update and Restart bar.
• Wait for the server panel to finish loading. (give it two minutes after you can access your panel again)
• Uncheck the antihack and update and restart (with bottom button) once more. (allow it time to come up)
• Once it comes back, recheck the box again make sure your ID is there in the field, and restart the server one last time (go into the game and test it)

 

• If your antihack is already checked, uncheck it and restart the server. (give it a good 2mins after it restarts before proceeding)
• After it restarts, check the box and make sure your steam ID is in the first field. If not, please add it.
• Restart again.
• Once your server comes up, go into the server and test to see if it works. Hit "ESC" and make sure the red Text of Infistar is in the Esc Menu. If it is not, go through the steps in the first method posted.
