FAMDB: A mission database and management system

Recommended Posts

FAMDB (Folk Arps Mission Database) is an external application that hopes to simplify the lives of admins and mission makers by organizing information about missions and automating the handling of mission pbos.

 

Users can add a mission, giving various pieces of information about it

Once a mission entry has been created, the mission maker can upload pbos to the mission making server.

The mission maker can also schedule pbos to be archived or deleted next time the server is offline.

Mission pbos can also be downloaded directly from FAMDB.

Admins can then move the mission from the mission making server to the main server.

There are a number of filters to allow admins to find missions to run during their Arma sessions.

Session themselves can also be managed. By adding a mission to a session its play count and last played date are updated.

Soon I hope to have integration with the R3 replay system, to automatically find which missions were played and link to their replays from the session interface.

 

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Very interesting tool !!

Do you continue to update it ?

How do you manage multiple version of the same mission ? Do you erase automatically the previous version of the mission on the server ?

 

Thx !

Thanks for your interest! I am not currently updating it simply because I can't think of anything to add. Once R3 finishes its big update I'll get around to adding its integration.

I've considered adding some sort of feedback from players to mission makers, but we just use our forums for that and we can't really get those two to communicate.

 

Each mission can have many versions at the same time. They can individually be downloaded, moved from mission making to main, marked for deletion, and marked for archival.

Mission deletion has to be done when the Arma server is off, or else bad things can happen. Because of this missions are only marked for deletion until an admin turns off the arma server, and then pushes the cleanup button.
