So i took a look on setting up a dedicated server on my xeon serverrack but is there any specific way i could setup the B.A.T mod with the dedicated server as i would like to run that.

Since the tutorial for that did not mention about how to setup modded servers up so if you happen to know how one is setup compared to vanilla servers?

Welcome to SAS Emperor,

The idea is that BAT is a little too big to become an online server. Trust me you're not the first one to request this mate.. it's why we have Ultrapack 3.0 for it instead That has plenty of mods on it as well as planes and so on. Sadly though... BAT is too big and too complex to make online compatible...

I'm sure many other users will say the same sir...

All the best and again welcome to the squadron!

But surely there is a possiblity of throwing it into a server for an experiment? i mean i would run it as a small scale experiment since i have seen other mods running similarly.

As i dont think its too impossible to make it run. i just need to know how i get it installed in the dedicated server itself. since i have hosted it in normal multiplayer on my own machine before.
I could run it as a seperate computer and host maps when needed but i was wondering if i automated it a bit myself. Since i think that might work on itself.

I just want to run it as a experiment, not as fully compatible server per said for a discord im part of.

In theory (I'm saying so because BAT is offline and I didn't ever - and will not - try to setup a server for it) the steps would be:
Install 4.12.2 dedicated server.
Install BAT on top of that, the usual way like you'd do for a client install.

Download and install the IL-2 Selector for Server Operators as follows:
Go here and get it: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,16403.0.html

Do the following after installing BAT to your 4.12.2 dedicated server game, in that order:

• Extract the contents of the IL-2 Selector for Server Operators to your BAT server game folder.
• In that folder, run "IL-2 Selector.exe", change settings, choose BAT module of choice and save settings.
• Open "il2server.ini" and make sure the modtype is set correctly, i.e. when you performed the steps above, it would need to be "ModType=2", "ModType=3", "ModType=4" or "ModType=5" usually (it's "ModType=0" per default, so you have to adjust this manually).
• Run your game with il2server.exe.

The log, if you applied above steps correctly, should start with...

Hi guys. I'm not an expert or anything but i fly BAT online periodically and all i ever needed to do that is someone with the good-old ports open and Hyperlobby.
Basically we all meet on Hyperlobby, select the same module as the host, enter the lobby x and then start. The Dogfight mode works perfectly, whereas the Co-op works well but it can generate some issues.
For instance you cannot enter with 2 players on a F-14, even tho the RIO slot exists there is no cockpit and therefore the game will not permit you to play (and glitch very hard also).

If you want to join us on Multiplayer let me know

same proceedure for CUP Storebror?
thx in advance

[vikshloss]

tried the above  no joy with bat

[SAS~Storebror]

Me neither.
It should work in theory, but it doesn't work with BAT.
Reason unknown and no plans to investigate.
BAT is for offliners.
Onliners should use Ultrapack.

thats what we are trying to do  mate lol
we installed cup
i used to host with ultrapack  is cup  the  latest incarnation of it?
what i was saying just prior is we did try to instal cup  as per your instructions for bat
then add the server selector pack you mentioned and no joy

so far i did the othe rmethod you speak of
blank server 4.12.2m created a sas folder and i put the std and xtd folders you created for me  a few years back
then added the exes for the server and now  we dohave the modded planes but can only runstock maps we are at a loss as to how to add the maps like korea poland low countries and france whitecats hawai etc 
i tried adding the sfs map files from my game (cup)  to the sfs auto in server  that did not work so un did that and added the sfs maps folder that hasnt work   ethither  so all we got so far is the WAW part of cup  planes working but not the maps
so any thoughts on that? hell i cant evenrememebr how we added th emaps inthe past  i did try to add whitecats 00-hawaii to sas folder it loads then hangs at 100% as did th epoland map
but not been able to figure out why  dnager gets messages of missing items but again we  cant find what is missing  if thats whats causing it  so we be stuck somewhat as to how to get the cup maps into our server
i am however downloading the older ultrpack server files but it loos like thats for 4.10 from what i can se einthe posts

[vikshloss]

ffs ultrapack server file 3.4 part 2 has two broken files
cockpit 0.1sfs and maps 0.1 sfs
so we cant even progress with ultrapack option

No.
Completely different modpacks.

ffs ultrapack server file 3.4 part 2 has two broken files
cockpit 0.1sfs and maps 0.1 sfs
so we cant even progress with ultrapack option

Try again.
All server file parts are fine.
Must be a corrupted download on your end.

I fly B.A.T. online from Hyperlobby, no problems at all.

A dedicated server will be welcome !
