syrasia 17 Posted March 11, 2019 Hey there, I am looking into ways to save persisten mission data (as in antistasi for example). Is profileNamespace good for this? Or can I use missionNamespace even with disabled mission saving? Cheers, syrasia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1289 Posted March 11, 2019 Yes, profileNamespace can do that. These will get you started. Search around a bit more too. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/profileNamespace https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/saveProfileNamespace 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Search around a bit more too. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/profileNamespace https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/saveProfileNamespace Than I am relaxed. I found those threads too. It's not about how to save data (I allready tested how to do so), but if it is a okay practice to do so. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1289 Posted March 11, 2019 Then your thread title is misleading. Besides, I answered your question anyway. Quote profileNamespace good for saving persistent mission data? Quote Yes, profileNamespace can do that. Good? Depends on how you use it, I guess. If used correctly, you can make some great stuff with it. But this is all pretty obvious so not sure what you was asking? Anything specific? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for the misleading. 😓 I am asking, because it would be a bit of data (like what is where (unitscounts, vehicles), occupied by whom, relations and other stuff) and I think it could be a bad thing to bload that file excessively. I don't think, that a external DB is really necessary, so I was looking for the best way to save persistent data in arma 3. Hope that makes it more clear.

Dedmen 2728 Posted March 12, 2019 If you don't want a DB. Then there isn't really any other way to store persistent data. Afaik antistasi also uses profileNamespace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syrasia 17 Posted March 12, 2019 Well thanks guys. That what I basically wanted to know. For the moment this is a valid solution and if there is a reason to swap to a real DB, then I will do so. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
