Breaking Point Mod

Breaking Point Mod is a total conversion mod for Arma 3. Source is provided for the community to improve the mod and host their own servers. Released under the Arma Public Share Like Licence (APL-SA).

Objectives & Goals

  • Provide a better version of the mod for people still playing. While the developers focus work on the standalone version.
  • Compatibility with Arma Updates / New Maps / DLC etc.
  • Move Away from Breaking Point Launcher / The Zombie Infection Specific Code & Requirements. This removes a time / money cost and allows the official developers to spend all their time working on the standalone game.
  • Intergrate Launcher Features (Legion System, Viewing Faction Points and Stats into the Main Game)
  • Cross Platform Support ( Windows, Mac, Linux ) / This allows for hosting dedicated servers on Linux with a cheaper server cost.
  • Release a Official Update with all these fixes. Submit a pull request with improvements and we will merge that into the game.

Conflicts & Problems

  • Fragmentation: Everyone using a custom version of Breaking Point and hosting vastly different servers and configurations. If we can work together and merge fixes into Breaking Point as a community.

Server Configuration

Prerequisites

Configuration

  • Download the BreakingPoint Client + Server files to your server (A batch file will be included in a tools folder for steam cmd users).

    If downloading using the steam client and uploading to your server.
    If using the provided batch tool.
    • Copy the batch file to your server directory (or wherever you like), open it and make the following changes.
    • Make sure you set the correct username and password for steam (The workshop disallows downloads if you're not using a account that owns ArmA 3).
     set steam_username=MySteamUser
     set steam_password=MySteamPassword
    
    • Make sure you set the correct path to your SteamCMD install.
     set "steamcmd_dir=C:\Path\To\SteamCMD"
    
    • Make sure you set the correct path to your ArmA server directory.
     set "arma_serverdir=C:\Path\To\Server\"
    
    • Save the file once all the above changes have been made, remember to keep the quotes around the file path settings or you will get errors
    • Double click the batch file and will do everything else for you (you may need to input a steam guard code as you would when using the steam client).
  • Import the included breakingpoint.sql file from the SQL folder to a clean database and make sure you have a sql account that has full access to that database.

  • Copy the ServerConfig folder to your ArmA server directory.

  • Open the BreakingPointExt.ini in ServerConfig and change the database ip, name, username, password and port to the ones you setup earlier.

     [DATABASE]
     ip = 127.0.0.1
     port = 3306
     database = breakingpointmod
     username = root
     password =
    
  • Open the config.cfg in ServerConfig directory and setup your instance, this is important to remember for each server you host.

     class Params
     {
     	instance = 1;
     	debug = false;
     };
    
  • Set the correct mission file for the map you'd like to run.

     /*
     List of mission names.
     "BP1_BreakingPoint.Altis" //Altis
     "BP2_BreakingPoint.Stratis" //Stratis
     "BP4_BreakingPoint.Thirsk" //Thirsk
     "BP3_BreakingPoint.ThirskW" //Thirsk Winter
     "BP5_BreakingPoint.Tanoa" //Tanoa
     "BP6_BreakingPoint.newhaven" //Newhaven
     "BP7_BreakingPoint.Esseker" //Esseker
     "BP8_BreakingPoint.Chernarus" //Chernarus
     "BP9_BreakingPoint.namalsk" //Namalsk
     */
     class Missions
     {
       class BreakingPoint
       {
     	  template = "BP1_BreakingPoint.Altis";
     	  difficulty = "Regular";
     	  class Params
     	  {
     		  instance = 1;
     		  debug = false;
     	  };
       };
     };
    
  • Open your database manager and go to the instance table and set the world id for instance 1 to what map you intend on running, here's a list of possible values.

     World ID | Map
     1 | Altis
     2 | Stratis
     3 | Thirsk
     4 | Bornholm
     5 | Newhaven
     6 | Esseker
     8 | Chernarus;
     9 | Namalsk
     11 | Legion
     12 | Tanoa
    
  • Remember if you open more servers increment the instance = x; by one in your server's config.cfg and then in the database set the world id correctly for that instance id

  • Copy the included server_start.bat file from the Tools folder to your server directory and edit as necessary (The defaults provided will work for a 64 Bit server running on port 2302).

  • Double click the batch file and wait for the server to start, if everything went successfully you should see the server start and a console displayed saying the following.

     Starting Connection To Databases...
     Database Connection Success (Game DB)
    

Custom Server Configfile

  • Download from Github "breakingpointmod/ServerConfiguration" the folder "breakingpoint_server_config" to your server
  • Edit the config.cpp in the "breakingpoint_server_config" to your server liking
  • Pack the folder "breakingpoint_server_config" to a .pbo and put it in your server root directory inside "@BreakingPointServer/addons"

Missionconfig

  • in each Mission provided with the mod there is a missionconfig file called "description.ext" change it to your liking
  • New Feature : only allied factions are able to group. To enable this feature use one of the build in missions in the client files and edit the description.ext

Look for

class Factions
{
	...
	disableMixedgrouping = true; // true = enabled => only allied factions are allowed to group
	...
};	

If disableMixedgrouping does not exist in the description file it will be automaticaly disabled => false. By default this feature is disabled.
