thanks so much Twiznak. I'll give that a go

Ploggy, Hi. mission files all have the same syntax = missionName.mapName Your error seems to indicate that your mission file name is lacking the Dot MissionName part. Try adding the map name back to the end of the mission file. Let me know if this helps, I am happy to help you trouble shoot this. dedicated servers can be difficult sometimes.

Hi Twiznak. I'm getting this error when my servr start.
Cannot open file 'mpmissions\CustomCombatPatrol'

Ploggy, Hi! Yes, you need to copy/paste the mod into your servers arma 3 directory AND cop/paste the mission.pbo into your servers MP folder. To get mod, expand the mod in the launcher, click the 3 dots for more options, and copy the mod to a local file. To get the mission file, you need to launch the game from a locally hosted MP game, and save it. Then go to \Documents\Arma 3 - other profiles\yourProfileName\saved\steamMPMission. Please let me know if I can be of any more help. Thank you for playing!

Silly question, but I'm trying to run this on a server. downloaded the mod. Where are the instructions to make it run on a server. Do I need to put anything into MPMissions folder???
