Hey Georgians,

 

22 hours ago, [GSF] Georgians said:

is in mission server restart configuration?  (after 3-4-5 hours?

didn't want to restart the server manually

 

Currently no, server restart is done via a separate script usually. At least it's done on our test server. do you know how to do it with scripting?

Hey, I wanted to try out this mission, but have a serious problem. The match ends shortly after start, after one minute to be precise. It doesn't matter on which side I play or if I'm the Commander or not, after one minute the match ends always with the East side winning.

 

I'm running the mission on a dedicated server, no headless clients. Has someone experienced similar problems and was able to fix it?

I would've asked the Devs for help, but sadly their Discord Server isn't available at the moment.

@hottehotte   I just downloaded this today to try it out and had the same issue, it appears to be an error with the starting location, if you change the mission parameter "BASE:Starting Locations" to anything but Random then it should start up for you.

Maybe you have an outdated version, had same issues in one of the RCs but Spayker fixed it before he dissappeared.

@hottehotte and @rorydev

 

Try to grab here:  https://github.com/Spayker?tab=overview&from=2021-04-01&to=2021-04-30 

https://github.com/Spayker?tab=repositories

 

...there are the latest changes included. You need all 4 WASP repos to make your own test setup. Once you manage to run the mission with excellent serve+HC FPS you are at least able to replicate and run the successful WASP server.

Okay, I set the starting positions to anything but Random, but it didn't help. Neither choosing to start in the North or in the South prevents the mission to end after one minute,

 

About getting the latest updates directly from Github: Maybe I overlooked something, but from what I saw you can only download the files in their raw format, not as finished PBO's. As I don't know how to generate a PBO out of the master files, I'm stuck.

A few of the files were updated just a few days ago according to the changelog, so it seems the project isn't dead completely.

well, I am not a coder, to mee it seems he is removing lots of player stats stuff which is stored in an DB.

The player related templates as well. It is basically gear loadout which can be also used as template for AI soldiers (like at ARMA.RU).

At ARMA.RU they have the same functionality of generating High Command Groups available to the commander, but no AI commander on top taking over when no human is assigned to that role.

I'm up to hosting the mission if I manage to remove the third (resistance) side from the game. It would be a nice feature otherwise, but it breaks the game balance quite badly. 

 

Any help would be appreciated! I'm currently investigating the mission structure and code.

 

I'm available here or on Discord: Ezcoo#6415

I'm getting stuck at initialization screen, anyone know how to fix this? Nothing special in server RPT here.

Edit: fixed it (the server startup batch files were outdated, mod folder names had changed)

Thanks to @Leopard20, the possible issue explaining the HQs not getting initialized at game start was found. See details here: https://github.com/Spayker/a3wasp-server/issues/4

 

I tried fixing it but something's wrong when I pack the mod back into PBO, as the server doesn't work with the PBO compiled by me. I'll keep investigating the issue and/or wait for Spayker to fix it.

No signs of Spayker, maybe life caught him or he was pissed by community or BIS, dunno.

Sad.

@SpaykerMan or @Spayker : if it is cash, just get in contact to finance server for hosting WASP.

 

Hey, I got the mission working and I'm up to hosting the server if I get financial assistance (as I'm extremely low on cash atm). Send me a private message here, on Discord or Steam if you're interested!

Please check the server IP and port on Discord if these don't work!

In https://github.com/Spayker/a3wasp-core, Spayker write "

Assembling

To run missions on your server you must prepare 3 main components:

missions themselves

server mod

headless client mod

Missions must be assembled from Core, Config and Mission modules.

"
The config files are located here: https://github.com/Spayker/a3wasp-config but there are no info about where to put them. I have a dedicated server with a HC up and running, but i suspect upcoming LAN party will be without WASP warfare. I believe there has been used a massive amount of resources to make this missions, so it's a pity my knowledge isn't high enough to assemble the missions in a working order.

I managed to run this mission (on malden) but the players spawn without mobile HQ wnich makes game end after one minute.


Plus, someone could explain to me the HC client? What is it? Do I need to have it to run this mission ?
