Hey so ive been wondering is there some way i can download the custom map for Altis to use in the editor with all the custom buildings i would love to practice at different locations so on the actual server i have some experience (like at the Cartels and Bank and Prison) and i would also love to use it so i can take screen shots for wallpapers and make a 3d photo of call outs with labels so i. Excellent work and thank you so much for sharing with the community! I understand your desire to keep unified servers that host your scenario, my request (as a fellow software engineer/developer) is that you consider putting this up on Github so it can be forked and managed so others can easily contribute updates, improvements, features, etc and it would be at your sole discretion to integrate.

How to setup Altis Life server:

Arma 3 City Maps

Here you'll learn how to setup your own server, in both windows and linux environments.

Before starting, you should have both life_server and Altis_Life.Altis packaged as a pbo.
You can find it already packaged in our releases tab, or you can pack it using pboManager.

Download extDB3 from Torndeco's Bitbucket repository. Note: extDB3 is required for Altis Life RPG v5.0.0 as of commit 8de51bd.

If you're using a version <=4.4R4, extDB2 can be found here. It comes with both (Windows & Linux) versions.

Windows Server

Requirements:

  • MySQL Server / MariaDB Server (MariaDB is recommended)

Step 1: (Installing MySQL server)

  • Download MariaDB server, install it and take note of your root login and password.
  • Next, open HeidiSQL (Or MySQL WorkBench, or navicat.. Heidi is already installed with MariaDB) and start a new session.
  • Once the session has been started, open AltisLife.sql and edit the string 'changeme' to a password of your choice.
  • Once the password has been changed, go to File > Load SQL File. Then, select the AltisLife.sql file. It'll open a new tab, then, just select the play button.
  • Now, refresh it and you'll see a new database in the left, with the name 'AltisLife'.

Note: If you use MySQL, server version 5.6.5 or higher is required.

Step 2: (Installing Arma 3 Server)
This step is only needed if you don't have the ArmA 3 client already installed, if so, you can use its directory.

  • Extract steamcmd to the folder where you want your ArmA 3 server to be installed.
  • Now, double click on it, and it'll start to set the environment.
  • When it finishes, you'll see a white line starting with 'Steam>' in the cmd.
  • Now do this:

obs: steamguardcode is optional, and only for accounts with mobile guard enabled.
Example:

Step 3: (Installing needed Mods/Mission)

  • After installing your ArmA 3 server, in the folder where you put steamcmd.exe, go: steamapps > common > Arma 3 Server
  • Afterwards, create a new folder with the name: @life_server, and inside this folder, another one with called: Addons
  • Now, go back to the ArmA 3 Server folder and create one more folder with named: @extDB2
  • It should be like this:
  • After this, copy the life_server.pbo to @life_server > Addons folder and the Altis_Life.Altis.pbo to MPMissions folder.

--------------------------------------------------

If you are using 5.0.0+, please note the following:Sending the output of one command to the input of another command is known as ____ in linux.

5.0.0 and future builds have two different SQMs (for both Altis & Tanoa). If you are downloading from the GitHub itself, these are contained within an SQMs folder, and you must do the following:

  • Open SQMs folder
  • Copy SQM for your chosen map
  • Move SQM into Altis_Life.Altis (or Tanoa_Life.Tanoa etc)
  • Rename SQM to mission.sqm

--------------------------------------------------

  • And then, open extDB2-vXX.7z and extract @extDB2 and tbbmalloc.dll, in the Windows folder, to your ArmA 3 Server folder.
  • It should be like this:

Step 4: (Configuring extDB3)

  • Open the extdb3-conf.ini file (inside the @extDB3 folder)
  • Inside it, edit it to resemble this:

Example:

Obs: Use 127.0.0.1 as IP if the MySQL server shares the same machine with arma3server.

Step 5: (Starting server)

  • First, we need to create a batch file. For this, open the notepad, and paste this:
  • Then, save it as startserver.bat and place it inside your ArmA 3 server folder
  • Now, just double click it and the server will start with all the needed mods & config files

Obs: Remember to install the vc2015 redist (x86) before starting the server. Otherwise, you won't be able to connect to the database.
Obs2: The batch creates both config & basic CFGs in the root folder.Obs3: The RPT logs from the server are saved in the ServerProfiles, inside your ArmA 3 server folder.
