How can I use the Arma 3 Creator DLCs?

The Creator DLCs are DLCs developed by external developers with new content for the community. With a few short steps, you can use these DLCs on your server.

  • Stop your server
  • Using an FTP connection you have to upload the folder of the respective DLC to your server
    -> This should look like “GM – global mobilization” (in case of the Global Mobilization DLC)
  • You also need to upload the “bikey”, which you should usually find in the key folder of the client
  • Now go to the basic settings of your server in our web interface
  • Look for the following buttons there:
  • Here you can simply activate which DLC you want to use
  • Now edit the file server.cfg and enter in the line template= the name of the mission you want to load
    -> You can choose a standard Arma 3 mission
    -> Or you can load missions created by other players
    -> Just search for multiplayer scenarios in the Steam Workshop
  • Now start your server and have fun!
