Saving progress on dedicated server - help with iniDBI2 or MCC

Recommended Posts

Hi. 
I'm kind of new to mission editing and mission creating. 
I took the liberty to edit a mission called "Becti - ZERTY - OFPS", just so I and some friends could LAN it.  
It had to launch through a dedicated server (or I would just get an error message, saying the server need to approve my connection) so through lots of trying and failing, I've finally managed to set up a LAN-server with this mission.

Now my problem is, how can we save our progress on dedicated, like we can on other missions launched through the Arma-client?

We won't manage to take Altis in 2-3hrs, and we want to have the ability to continue later on. I can't let the computer run forever; when we log off, the AIs in the mission would just continue fighting. So when we log off, I want to have the ability to save our progress, shut down the server and load our progress some other time.

Now, I have found this "IniDBI2" - but I don't know how to integrate it to the mission? How do I use it?

I managed to add the MCC to the server (or, as a mod to my Steam account, I can use it on dedicated, but I'm not sure if it's integrated on the server, just my client) - and this MCC has a possibility to save/load - but I'm not sure how this works either.. It wont load my progress.

Could someone help a newbie out?

Okay, so i managed to get the IniDBI2 to my server, but whenever I start it, it gives me "Script \inidbi2\init.sqf not found" in the chat. ??

This is an interesting thread and something I'd like to eventually know as well.

One of the reasons I play ALiVE (I use TADST as a dedicated server) is because they make saving your progress pretty easy with War Room. But I really wish I knew how to save other non-ALiVE MP missions when the day comes that I'd like to try something new.

Now, I can't be of any help, but recently, this mission was brought to my attention: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=394108665&searchtext=wasteland

I don't know how he does it, but even without INIDBI, he has it set up so you can save/resume your mission using LAN. I was astonished when I saw it in action. Though keep in mind, even though I was using MP LAN, I was playing alone.

Perhaps you could ask him how he accomplished that? He's a cool dude. We chatted last night via Steam PM.

If you find an answer somewhere, could you post it here?
