New to alive so forgive my ignorance.

1) I'm running a dedicated server & wish to host some simple, short MP @alive missions. I do NOT require the persistence/war room features . What do I need to run a regular server - can I just run @alive as a regular mod on the dedi ? Is the @aliveserver file required if I don't need warroom/data access?

2) I've created a custom faction using the ORBAT file - can I drop this into the @alive mod main folder (I'm assuming that the @modtest (pbo'd) needs to be distributed to every client?).

Any & all help appreciated.
