Chernarus Server

[glow=red,2,300]CHERNARUS SERVER
Our plans for the future of this server[/glow]
Some of you may be wondering what our plans for the Chernarus
server is since we haven't seemed to be giving it much attention
lately. Most of the mods or updates that get released are made
for Altis or Altis and Stratis and need to be adjusted by the
server
hosts to work on the AiA Maps like Chernarus. We've added
quite a few new things to our Altis server like the @Mas weapon
addon (Overpoch), AI Town Invasion missions, Extra Arma 2 style
loot spawns, and more. We're working hard to get all these
added to our Chernarus server in the near future.
[glow=red,2,300]Here is a list of what you can expect see added
to Chernarus:[/glow]
[*][glow=red,2,300]OVERPOCH (@MAS WEAPON ADDON)[/glow]
This adds over 200+ new guns, attachments, and items to the game
but also requires
a clientside download. We will give advanced notice and link the
proper files before we update
[*] [glow=red,2,300]ARMA 2 STYLE LOOT SPAWNS[/glow]
This adds extra loot that will spawn on the ground in almost all
buildings along
side the normal Epoch furniture.
[*] [glow=red,2,300]CUSTOM LOOT TABLES[/glow]
We customize the loot tables to spawn the new overpoch weapons
and some new
guns that aren't in Epoch by default
[*] [glow=red,2,300]ARMED VEHICLES[/glow]
We add the Armed Offroad, Ghosthawk, and Armed Huron to the
vehicle spawns and
their ammo to the custom loot tables
[*] [glow=red,2,300]INFISTAR[/glow]
Now that the Epoch devs are allowing official server to use
infiSTAR we are
switching back to it. This means: better cheat protection, extra
server clean up features
which gives you better FPS, and better administration abilities
if you were to need admin support.
[*] [glow=red,2,300]ANIMATED WELCOME CREDITS[/glow]
This adds a few animated welcoming messages that play on your
screen with light
background music when you first join the server. This is more
geared to new players to let them
know of our server features, website, teamspeak, etc.
[*] [glow=red,2,300]UPDATE & FIX TO CURRENT AI MISSIONS[/glow]
We're updating the current missions to a newer version and we'll
recode the spawn
locations so they won't spawn outside the map area on Chernarus.
[*] [glow=red,2,300]ALL THIS AND MORE COMING SOON[/glow]

Update is Coming!
DIR By: randall421
Date: January 18, 2015, 4:34 am
---------------------------------------------------------
[center][glow=red,2,300]CHERNARUS OVERPOCH UPDATE IS HERE !
![/glow][/center]
We have updated all the files for our Chernarus server with 2
new mission scripts, a new hud status bar, over 200 new weapons,
attachments, ammos, and items, a welcoming intro, handfull of
new vehicles including armed trucks and heli's, and more! We've
also tweaked all the settings that have been suggested by the
players on our Chernarus server like Antagonist chances and few
others.
We will be testing this on our test server before uploading it
so if all goes well you can expect this update within 24 hours.
If we have to make changes to anything it may take a little
longer. The server host name will change to
OSSGaming.com|OVERPOCH(epochmod 0.2.5.2|1.36)|etc.| etc.| etc.|
so you'll know when we've updated. We will also make an official
announcement in the forums and send out a newsletter to everyone
e-mail.
The are a few things you need to do for this update as well. The
Overpoch addon requires a client side download and new launch
parameters. There are two ways you can do this and they're both
very easy.
[glow=pink,2,300]METHOD 1[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]Using the A3 Launcher[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 1:[/glow] Download and install the A3
Launcher from HERE.
HTML http://a3launcher.com/setup_a3launcher.exe
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 2: (Optional)[/glow] Go to your arma 3
directory (c:\program files (x86)\Steam\Steam Apps\Common\Arma
3) and find your @Epoch folder. If you did not use the A3
Launcher to install you will need to rename it for the launcher
to recognize you have it. Change your @Epoch folder to
@Epoch0252
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 3:[/glow] Open the A3 Launcher and click on
MODS
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 4:[/glow] Install the latest @Mas Weapon
Addon available. We're running 1.6 but I believe the latest on
the A3 Launcher is only 1.5. That's ok. Download what ever the
latest version is and you will be ok
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 5: (Optional)[/glow] Open Steam and right
click on Arma 3. Select properties then Launch Options. In the
space provided make sure it says ( -mod=@Epoch0252;@Mas15; )
If the A3 Launcher has 1.6 available to download then you will
need to change @Mas15; to @Mas16;
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 6:[/glow] Search for OSSGaming or
192.223.31.210:2302 and join our server!
[glow=pink,2,300]METHOD 2[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]Do it yourself[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 1:[/glow] Download @Mas Weapon 1.6 from
HERE
HTML http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=21912
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 2:[/glow] Open your downloads folder and
unzip the file you just downloaded
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 3:[/glow] Find the folder that says @Mas
and put it into your arma 3 directory. The same place as your
@Epoch folder. (c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam
Apps\Common\Arma 3)
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 4:[/glow] Open Steam and right click on
Arma 3. Select properties then Launch Options. In the space
provided make sure you have ( -mod=@Epoch;@Mas; )
[glow=red,2,300]STEP 5:[/glow] Open Arma 3, Search OSSGaming or
192.223.31.210:2302 and Join the server!
[shadow=teal,left]That's it!![/shadow]
If you have any problems or questions you can post them here or
e-mail me at support@ossgaming.com and I will be happy to help
you through the installation. If you follow these instructions
carefully you will be ok.
Keep an eye out for the official announcement! We've added all
these mods to the Altis server already and it's made the game a
100x more fun! I'm sure it will do the same for Chernarus!
You'll hear from us again soon!

Chernarus Update Tested and Approved!
DIR By: randall421
Date: January 18, 2015, 6:26 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[glow=green,2,300]*~* CHERNARUS UPDATE *~*[/glow]
[glow=green,2,300]*~*~* Tested & Approved *~*~*[/glow]
We've uploaded the changes to our test server and tested
everything we
plan to upload to the Chernarus server. After a few hours of
testing we're
confident that we're ready to update the Chernarus server in the
next 24
hours. This is a rather large update to do all at once and it
will require a
client side download in order for you to continue playing on our
server.
You can read the previous post for step by step instructions on
updating
your files.
[glow=green,2,300]What's included in this update?[/glow]
[*]This update includes over 200+ new weapons, attachments, and
ammo types
[*]Extra Arma 2 style loot spawns (Piles of loot spawn on the
ground inside buildings)
[*]2 Armed Offroads, Armed Ghosthawk, Armed Huron, Armed Boat
added to vehicle spawn list
[*]Update to the Current Mission system: New Missions, Bug
Fixes, Location Fixes, Increase AI intelligence
[*]Brand New Dynamic AI Town Invasion Missions -- Radio
required for notification
[*]New Welcoming intro with music and credits
[*]InfiSTAR anticheat system (Epoch devs are allowing official
and sponsored servers to use infiSTAR again)
[*]New HUD status bar showing player stats, players online,
restart times, and more
[*]Tweaks to server settings based on player requests
[glow=green,3,300]Known Issues [/glow]
[*]Arma 2 Style Loot spawns only spawn in Arma 3 Buildings
[*]Overpoch weapons only spawn in Arma 2 Style Loot
With these two issues put together you will only find the new
added guns in Arma 3
style buildings. There are quite a few military bases scattered
around the map as well
as multistory office buildings and few others and they will be
loaded so you will not
have any problem finding the new guns. You just won't find them
in every building.
We can fix this by finding all the Arma 2 Building classnames
and adding them to the
script and adding loot positions. This will take some time to do
but it's not too difficult.
After this update is put in we will begin working on adding loot
spawns to all Chernarus
buildings. Until then you will have to find them inside the Arma
3 buildings and missions.
[glow=green,3,300] ENJOY![/glow]
We hope you enjoy the new changes! We've had them on our Altis
server for a little while now
and it has been a lot of fun so I hope it will bring the same to
our Chernarus server. Check the
previous posts for update instructions. As always if you need
any help or have any issues with
the update please contact me by posting in the forums, talking
to me in teamspeak, or e-mailing
me at support@ossgaming.com. I will be happy to help you update
your game.

Server Update
DIR By: randall421
Date: February 3, 2015, 2:24 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[center][shadow=red,left]SERVER UPDATE[/shadow][/center]
[*] Updated Epoch Server Files
[*] Updated Town Invasion Missions
More Updates coming soon. I will be spending my time on our ArmA
3 servers all week to make up for the time I missed getting our
ArmA 2 server started. Today more time was spent on our Altis
server but you can count on all the same updates on Chernarus as
long as they are compatible. Plus I will be adding some new
buildings in the editor to accomodate the ArmA 2 style loot
spawns and I'll also work on adding the ArmA 2 building classes
to the script so it will spawn loot inside the default Chernarus
buildings.
[center][shadow=red,left]Enjoy! More coming
tomorrow![/shadow][/center]
