EnvakeoLugaria 4 Posted March 16, 2017 Got a question I can't seem to find much on, however I've seen missions that do this... I've been trying to run a server for me and my friends to play when we hop on ArmA, right now I'm using RHS and ALiVE to do some guerrilla style missions, I've been using TADST's "local dedicated" server tool, I've enabled the autoInit "persistence" between player joins, but this obviously has it's downsides. - I'm running on my desktop, if I want to restart my PC, I have to close the server (duh) - I can't do an actual dedicated server, I don't want to pay for one or build a server box, so ALiVE's persistence is out of the question, I tried it's "single player save" but it is too much and crashes So this might be a dumb question, but is there a way I can run this server, and have the server save when I exit, then start back up when I re-join with my friends? Basically the same as ALiVE, but save the data local to my PC. Thanks, Envak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midnighters 152 Posted March 16, 2017 You mean saving mission progress? Or having the server run when your pc is off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnvakeoLugaria 4 Posted March 20, 2017 Saving mission progress. I would love to use ALiVE persistence, but I don't have a fixed IP address... I've used TADST to run a server for a week, and that worked ok, but I had to make sure I didnt restart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted March 20, 2017 If your IP isn't static, that's still ok for ALiVE database persistence. You'll just need to get the external IP from a site like whatsmyip.org between restarts. I use TADST and ALiVE persistence just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the guides I looked at said I needed a static ip.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted March 21, 2017 Here's the ALiVE wiki entry on how to setup persistent data with TADST. Bare in mind if you're using 64-bit you'll need to use the 64-bit armaserver.exe in TADST. http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/ALiVE_Data Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted March 21, 2017 I just tried launching a TADST server with 64-bit and ALiVE and it seems to work fine, just change the exe on the first tab to the 64-bit server exe and it will work (by default it will select the 32-bit server exe).

Midnighters 152 Posted March 21, 2017 Well you could always save player progress in profileNamespace. I believe you can do the same for the server. ALiVE war room is always nice though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnvakeoLugaria 4 Posted March 25, 2017 Bumping this for some help, I know this might not fall under mission and editing, but I just re-installed TADST. when I run the server, it opens up, then says "PxFoundation wasnt created", then the server crashes. I re-installed TADST, verified steam game cache, double checked the launcher. I REALLY do not want to re-install ArmA 3..... Thanks for any help guys!
