Thanks to Nomad who commented on the workshop page, I realised I introduced a pretty much fatal bug to the mod all the way back at the end of 2019. Any new save campaign that was initialised after December 2019 would be unable to load the save file after the mission was restarted. If anyone tried this mod and gave up because it didn't work, that would have been the reason. Sorry about that, but it was just reported to me after more than 2 years :) The issue has been fixed now.

@slayer_mop sorry I've been incredibly busy lately... I'm surprised about the problem with the turrets. I'll take a look and see if I spot anything that can cause that, but I might need to ask you for more info about the configs of the vehicles that display this problem. The problem with units not loading in properly is also something I haven't come across but at first glance it sounds like an initialisation conflict. You should try to increase the wait time before loading the player's state on joining (there's a parameter for that in the module) or better use the manual load "switch". Yeah that is the function you would call to do a save. It needs to be called by the server though! I was also thinking about including such functionality in the mod, but I don't have time for that now.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't work on a hosted server. But you're probably going to encounter a bit of an annoyance with the way the module saves. Your game will likely tab out and back in again for a brief second, or you'll at least notice your screen go dark for a second and back on again, when the module conducts a save. This is because it launches a separate console window while it saves and then closes it, and Windows will want to switch to that window when it launches. This has to do with how the extension is designed and at this point I have no intention of writing a new one from scratch (the current one is written by KillzoneKid, not me, so I can't change it). You can always run a dedicated server off your own computer instead of hosting (though you'll have to run it from a separate Windows user then so you don't encounter the same issue while playing) 😉

Actually it's normal that you get that message when you don't have a save file in there from before. That message indicates that the module looked for a save file in case you have it, so it can load from it and continue from there. If you're running your mission (or the example mission, in this case) for the first time, you obviously don't have any previous save files, so the module just alerts you that there is no save file to load from and so it will just start off "fresh" with settings drawn out of your first time launch function. It doesn't mean that the module doesn't work! You have to wait until the time you specified and see if the module creates a new save file as described in the manual. If it does that, you got it working 🙂 Unfortunately there is no way to suppress that message, so when you run your mission for the first time you will get that message. It will only be on the server's side though, so players won't notice anything.

Hey mate, I looked into the issue you reported. If you were loading the mod on the server not from the Steam workshop folder and in some other way, like loading it as a "local mod" or using it in your own mod pack, the module would fail to save because it wouldn't be able to find the .dll extension that it needs. I just released an update that prevents that from becoming a problem and from now on you should be able to load the mod from wherever you want. Though I recommend sticking to a Steam Workshop setup to keep up to date with latest changes and fixes! Let me know if it's working for you now. Also I'd have no problem with any of you making a tutorial video when you get it to work. I have no time to do that myself though :)

Very happy to see this release. Congratulations guys! I do have a question though. Actually surprised no one asked this yet, but are you guys going to also release the Security Forces assets as part of this? I was actually looking forward to using the all-new USAF mod with SF units patrolling the airbase for ambience, and ended up surprised when I didn't find them in here :)

Yep just tested now and it's actually fixed on the RC branch. Kinda weird but anything affects everything doesn't it? 🙃

I haven't changed anything on our server and yet I'm trying to use Spectator mode by logging in as admin for the first time since the 1.96 update and it's being weird. Trying to view units in 3rd person view or with free cam places the camera at [0,0,0] instead of on the unit. I always use spectator mode and never came across this until now. I didn't see anything in the changelog regarding spectating. Did anyone else come across this problem?

ok 😄 Did you configure your "first time launch function" correctly? As mentioned in the manual, unless that's done, persistency won't work at all. That's your likely problem :)

Are you testing in single player, a hosted server or a dedicated server? Did you read the manual about setting things up for the first time in a mission?

Hello community! I've had this released on the Steam Workshop after a long development period, and it's about time I introduce it here. I hope communities will enjoy using this! Hunter'z Persistency Module What is it? It's an "offline" (meaning, an SQL server or similar is NOT required) persistency framework for complex dynamic missions. It's meant as an alternative to existing solutions that use SQL servers. Instead of using a server/database approach, Hunter'z Persistency Module is fully SQF-based and outputs save data to text files in SQF-format. With this module you can avoid having complex infrastructure such as SQL servers and set up a persistent server with ease. What can it do? As a framework, it's got all the functionality you need to save any object, ammo crate, or vehicle and it's designed to be very easily customised so that you can save custom information such as object or mission variables. The module is focused mostly on realism/logistics scenarios, which means whatever you want to be persistent, you can set it up with ease and it will save every detail without compromise or room for exploits. For example, if you want to set a vehicle to be persistent, all you have to do is call one line of code and its state will be saved with all details down to the number of rounds it has in its guns. Player units are also persistent by default, which means not only does it save your position or your gear upon logging out, but also how many bullets you have in the magazines inside your backpack, the damage on all your body parts including your full medical state if you use ACE, any map markers you have placed and whatever else comes to your mind. The customisation of the framework is done by using API functions that you call either through scripts in your mission or live through the in-game admin console. These are all described together with setup instructions and further information in the manual that comes with the module. How does it work? It uses Killzonekid's debug console dll extension (with his permission of course) to write to a save file on the server machine. Although the save file comes out as pure SQF, due to the limitations of extensions in Arma, large data arrays are split up into smaller ones and parsed back to normal by the module during saving and loading. This means that you might see a lot of text in your save files, but since it's all SQF, you actually have the option of editing the data manually by hand in case of any problems you have in your mission or things you want to change. Saving to file is done automatically, through an auto-save system, for which you can set the save interval. The module is very performance friendly as it only uses resources when conducting a save, which usually takes less than a second. Player persistency is managed through connect/disconnect event handlers by the server, and other than these situations the module will not be using any CPU power! Future work / TODO? I plan on adding more features to the mod. One thing I will investigate soon is persistency of damage to map objects, such as buildings that are part of the map. No promises though!

I get this Skipping mods and signatures due to overflow flag being set in my client RPT when trying to join our v2 enabled server before I get session lost. I don't think I've ever seen that message before and I've got no idea what it means... EDIT: I redownloaded all bisigns in my installation and my session lost problem seems to be fixed. The signature files got corrupted somehow during the update process. If you're having this issue, follow these steps to see if it fixes it for you: 1) Go into your Arma 3 folder and type "*.bisign" (without quotes) into the search bar. 2) Once the search is finished, select all files found and delete them. 3) Verify game files using Steam. It will redownload the deleted files. EDIT2: Forgot to mention I also deleted the cache.ch file. You might have to do that too.

Would be nice to get an official word from the devs about this actually...

Hi pook, love the content and ideas behind this pack, as with all your other work :) I'm surprised it's never been mentioned here all this time, and I want to assure myself you're aware of the config problem related to truck hitpoints this mod is causing. I checked Steam a while ago and saw someone mention it in the comments, but not sure if you ever saw that. Got no other mods loaded and get this when I put down a HEMTT. No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitFuel.name'. Looking at the .rpt reveals that the problem is bigger than that and is coming from Truck_F, so it's not just Truck_01 types being affected, but pretty much all trucks and vans, and it's many other hitpoints (maybe even all of them), not just HitFuel. I guess by now you might be aware of the problem, but just wanted be sure. Here's the .rpt from putting down a HEMTT: 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitFuel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitEngine.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitBody.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitLFWheel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitLBWheel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitLMWheel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitLF2Wheel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitRFWheel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitRBWheel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitRMWheel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitRF2Wheel.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitGlass1.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitGlass2.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitGlass3.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_01_base_F/HitPoints/HitGlass4.name'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_F/AnimationSources/HitLFWheel.source'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_F/AnimationSources/HitLFWheel.source'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Truck_F/AnimationSources/HitLFWheel.source'. 18:54:30 Warning Message: '/' is not a value 18:54:30 B_Truck_01_mover_F: wheel_1_1_destruct -

This actually indirectly helped me. I realised how important the "doFollow" command could be. I didn't change the lead vehicle when a vehicle got stuck, but I did have the script re-issue a "doFollow" the leader to any trailers not moving as a first attempt to unstuck them. This actually helped immensely as it managed to solve problem #1. I just want to summarise the problems that currently persist in my tests. Some of them have been reported already and BIS should really attempt solve these critical issues: @klamacz 1) Some of the trailing vehicles randomly stop, while the rest of the convoy in front keeps moving. I noticed this happens more often when the convoy slows down to take sharp turns or avoid obstacles. It might have something to do with the trailers not wanting to fall below the convoy separation distance and stopping, but never starting up again... Workaround: The stuck vehicles need to be given a doFollow command on the leader to keep following the convoy. 2) It seems that the effect of the limitSpeed command gets reset every time the convoy makes one of those weird few second stops (I guess it stops for path planning?). Whenever this happens and the convoy is ready to move again, the lead vehicle (often being a faster vehicle in my case) revs up and leaves the rest of the convoy in the dust. Workaround: Manually re-issuing the limitSpeed command manages to bring it down to convoy speed again. 3) It really would be good if the lead vehicle were smart enough to adjust its speed according to the situation of trailing vehicles. Either I'm doing something wrong, or the lead doesn't care about how far he's left behind the rest of the convoy. Is my memory mistaking me or was the AI capable of doing this back in Arma 2 and waiting for any slow trailers? This is especially a problem when you have an agile vehicle leading the convoy, and the rest take turns much more slowly and maybe have a smaller turn radius too, so they have to make maneuvers in dense areas. In this case, even limitSpeed won't help to keep the convoy moving at the same pace, unless used dynamically inside a control loop and have the lead go slower than the trailers (which really should be done by the engine...) EDIT: Issuing limitSpeed regularly to solve #2 seems to somehow remind the lead vehicle to wait. If he wanders too far, he actually does seem to stop and wait for the rest using this method... Or at least at each "path planning point", the renewed speed limit causes it to not get moving until all are waiting behind him. 4) If the convoy does get separated one way or another and vehicles are far apart from each other, any vehicles other than the leader's will have extreme trouble following any move orders. Path planning seems to get borked for the group when this happens. They will just stand in place and not attempt to reach the leader, and most likely they will not respond to anything other than short doMove's (in many cases a long-range doMove will also fail). There should at least be some way for the vehicles to attempt regroup with the lead vehicle. This problem would be less prominent if #3 were fixed/implemented. I won't get into the problems with bridges again as it's well known and I don't have a workaround for it that's not extremely nasty. Although building sandbags around the bridge will at least keep the AI safer from doing the most stupid things...
