Arma 3 Altis COOP dedicated server keeps starting at midnight (00:00:00)

Recommended Posts

I followed an Arma 3 server thread on how to create a dedicated server: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147537-Tutorial-How-to-run-ArmA3-on-a-dedicated-server

It worked fine, but my multiplayer mission starts at midnight 00:00:00 no matter what I do.

Here is where I'm at:

  1. I extracted my target mission PBO from one of Arma 3's "addons" directory, and found this: MP_COOP_m03.Altis
  2. I placed this in my MPMissions directory.
  3. I viewed the description.ext, which contains this by default...
    class Params 
    {
       class startTime
       {
    	title = $STR_a3_cfgvehicles_modulestrategicmapmoduleopen_f_arguments_daytime_0;
    	values[] = {6, 12, 19, 0};
    	texts[] = {$STR_A3_MP_COOP_m03_morning, $STR_A3_MP_COOP_m03_noon, $STR_A3_MP_COOP_m03_evening, $STR_A3_cfgvehicles_modulestrategicmapmoduleopen_f_arguments_daytime_values_night_0};
    	default = 6;
       };
    
       class noOfRespawns
       {
    	title = $STR_A3_rscdisplaydebriefing_loadstext_mp;
    	values[] = {0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, 10000};
    	texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, "1", "3", "5", "10", "20", "50", $STR_num_players_any};
    	default = 10000;
       };
    };


  4. I renamed it MP_COOP_m03_custom.Altis and called it from my config.cfg like this:
    class Missions
    {
             class Mission1
            {
                 template="MP_COOP_m03_custom.Altis";
                 difficulty="Regular";
             };
    };


  5. I PBO'ed it up and started the server.
  6. I connect with my Arma 3 client, select my position, load the mission, and the server starts the mission at midnight.
  7. I edited the init.sqf and tried initializing the Params Array many, many, many different ways (via a lot of articles and forum posts), always while recompiling my PBO and relaunching my server, but none of them set the startTime to anything other than 00:00:00 midnight...

Rather than explain all of the unsuccessful ways I have tried to initialize my mission's params array, can someone who knows how to run an Arma 3 dedicated server with setting the startTime to something other than midnight point me in the correct direction?

Thank you,

Aaron

Try the Intel section of the mission.sqm

Thank you! The Intel section! duh! Worked perfectly.
