16th October 2002 
Required: v1.85



The OFP_Server.exe file will enable you to set up dedicated Operation Flashpoint servers without requiring the original CD or CD Key.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Firstly, ensure the entire contents of an Operation Flashpoint game directory are present on the target server machine. The original directory structure must be maintained, but the files can either be copied from an existing installation, or freshly installed.

The new OFP_Sever exe file and updated bin files from RES\BIN directory should then be copied into the root Flashpoint directory along with the flashpoint.cfg file. Run this file to create a dedicated server



DEDICATED SERVER INSTRUCTIONS

You can set up a config file for your server, to assign passwords and mission cycles. Call it with an additional command line parameter: for example, OFP_Server.exe -config=sample.cfg.



There's a sample config file included in this download package, along with a batch file to launch it into the game. Install both files in the root flashpoint directory alonside the OFP_Server.exe, then launch the configured server by double-clicking on OFP_Server.bat.



You can edit a config file in any text editing application.

For further infomation on setting up and running a dedicated server consult the DS-Admin.rtf file that is included in this package.
