Just downloaded this program, within 15 minutes I had a dedicated server up and running.
Thank you so much for this great app I've been looking for months on ways to setup a dedicated server and you solved all my issues.
Description:
The Armed Assault series allows an amazing array of settings to freely customize dedicated servers.
This means you will have to edit quite a few config files to get it running the way you like.
TADST is a tool that will greatly simplify this. All you need to do is to choose the settings you like. Then the application will create all necessary files according to your settings and start the server with the appropriate arguments.
All necessary files will be created in a folder called 'TADST'.
You can save different profiles to easily switch between server setups.
In the folder TADST a new folder for each profile will be created.
This folder contains all files associated to the profile.
Installation / Usage:
Copy the file 'TADST.exe' to your ArmA game folder.
* Note that it's important that the file is in the game root folder
i.e. C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3
* If you are upgrading from an earlier version of TADST you should delete
your old TADST folder so the program can create new settings files.
You also need to have .NET installed.
Future plans:
* Options for allowedFileExtensions, allowedPreprocessFileExtensions, allowedHTMLLoadExtensions, allowedHTMLLoadURIs
* Options to automatically launch headless clients
* Steam server update thingy
* System for setting Mission Parameters.
* Start as service.
* Process monitoring, restart server on crash.
* Remote server/client protocol (probably wont't happen, but hey)

Thank you so much for this great app I've been looking for months on ways to setup a dedicated server and you solved all my issues.
Excellent thank you :)
Thank a lot
awesome, Now I can't make server without this. I got a question, what is the 'headless client'?
Is there a way to access the server log, like the .cmd version of the log to allow input of commands? Thanks :)
Best fps results on server when using this tool
Doesnt work for A3 :(
Is this legal I thought you had to pay for dedicated servers
@MazyModz. Yes it does actually. See BIS forum thread for more info. The reporting is a bit slower these days, since GameSpy is out of business.
Anyone got solution how to run it nowadays? My arma3 can't find my server without gamespay, only when I switch to lan I can see it...
Still works great after all this time. Check Port #s and PC firewalls for Internet hosting, riten. Mine works fine.
