While discussions on how to use OFP and/or servers aren't OFPEC material, and they are especially not OFPEC comments, here goes:

You set up the mod folders just like on your "play" computer". The server is then started with
an extra -mod= parameter, just like in windows.

Depending on if you run a windows-based OFP server or a linux one, the incantations are slightly different but still similar. Take a linux-based ofp server, for example. Lets say you have put ECP on it and some other mod folder,  call it "wizzy"  ;D
To start it, you'd do

Code: [Select]

./server -config=wizzyserver.cfg -mod="@ecp;wizzy"
With only one mod active, that would be

Code: [Select]

./server -config=wizzyserver.cfg -mod=wizzy
For further info, I'd suggest doing a search on the official BIS forums (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard301/ikonboard.cgi?s=3eac1af571b6ffff;act=SC;c=10) since I believe that any minute now a moderator will come here and confirm that OFPEC is not the place for tech support questions. Right?  ;)

Good Luck, Wizzy!
