Hi, welcome to Bis forums!

In the Description.ext of the mission, look for the following code:

 

respawn = 1;

might also read ---> respawn = Bird;

this code means your respawning as a bird, the other options is to change it to other types which are below:

Respawn types.

• 0 or "NONE" - No respawn
• 1 or "BIRD" - Respawn as a seagull
• 2 or "INSTANT" - Respawn just where you died.
• 3 or "BASE" - Respawn in base.
  • Requires a marker named:
    • respawn_west
    • respawn_east
    • respawn_guerrila
    • respawn_civilian

Hello ! I am a friend of Alan Juarez and good since he can not answer, I answer .. The respawn we have in the base and the AI we have disabled in the mission, to enter separately does not create the user in the database nor Neither does it let you choose to select the area to spawn

Try to add -autoInit to the server's init command line and add persistent=1; to the server.cfg.

 

Some reason that fixes the issue in my insurgency mission, despite all the correct settings being in place in description.ext.

Cant really help you with this, but try what Phronk suggested.

So if this is database specific like in order for you to spawn the database has to do it, then seems that your missing some coding, or for respawn.

Whats the database for btw, as I really have not seen any mission use a database, or im out of the loop as i havent really messed with missions in a long time for mp.

But if you use a basic base respawn which you basically put a marker down and name it respawn_west if your bluefor,

 

code in the description would be like this:

respawn = base;

respawndelay = 20;

 

then the marker at your base is where you spawn.

A tutorial for a basic base respawn if it helps---> https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/111769-respawn-for-editor-missions-played-in-multiplayer/#comment-1852481

Maybe im misunderstanding you on what your issue is.

The database is the extDB2 @Gunter Severloh

Best ask the author of this and see what he thinks the issue is, as it seems like its a database issue coupled with something else,

cant help you aside that, so hope you guys figure it out.
