Pre-load Missions

[Mainfrezzer 10]

Hello Guys ive a simple question.

If its possible to preload a mission? im running 2 Arma3 Beta Wasteland Server and sometimes they crash or daily restart will happen. The problem is if theyre restarting, theres no mission loaded, so that nobody with filtersettings "wasteland" will find them unless im joining them manually. Is there a way to bypass the "creating" status?

This tool's mission tab allows persistent mission select http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?104991-Tophe-s-Arma-Dedicated-Server-Tool-(TADST)

.... or you could set persistent=1 in your server.cfg

Add this to your server.cfg

And define the 'Wasteland' mission name in the highlighted red:-

// MISSIONS CYCLE (see below)
class Missions
{
         class Mission1
        {
             template="[color="#FF0000"]co_xx_mymission.stratis[/color]";
             difficulty="Regular";
         };

Neither of your solutions actually fix the issue of the server not loading the mission until someone joins after a restart.

Can you post up your server.cfg?

You are adding the ; at the end, right?

persistent = 1;

Moderator finally added my post, yes i have the ;.

use dedicated client, on server, to start the mission ...

example:

arma3beta.exe -client -localhost=127.0.0.1 -port=2302 -name=TestSubject -maxmem=250 -nosound

That is really not going to work as i am running 6 servers on a dedicated box in a datacenter.

Lol after several years will still discussing this... nor that you need to be a scientist to add an autostart! If you browser the server list 80% of the servers have no mission loaded and a wrong user-limit (server defined but different than the ones defined in the mission) ...and that's because there's not an easy solution to this problem.

If there's any dev reading this.. stop whatever you're doing, and look if may loose 10 minutes of your precious time to find a solution... and nope, we don't want it today, after all we're waiting by 5 YEARS !

hows that not going to work ? ... all you need is kill the dedicated client after (insert 60 - 600 seconds) and join next server ... write batch for it

and after 5 years of explaing you still not realized the server needs the client to join to properly activate the missions logic ? flawless trolling par excellance ...

I understand it perfectly, this is exactly why i'm asking you to change this "logic" = fix the problem. Instead of recognizing the issue and try to find a solution to something that we're asking by years, you call me a troll?
