Yes. Make sure you follow the setup instructions on War Room (you need to create a group and register your server).

Either you are using Bis dynamic groups or a bis repsawn template that is s overriding th player persistence. On start =0 for template.

Why would you have a player select a respawn point on connection? Sounds like you need to remove that bit of functionality (see Friz's post below :) ).

Yah, just testing now, looks like something BIS_fnc_DynamicGroups(?) has broken ALiVE :( Not sure why, it looks like this function uses the addStackedEventHandler, which should be fine. Can you guys confirm you are using this? Things like player stats, player persistence, war room profile loading when you connect (plus more) will be broken. WORKAROUND: Do not call BIS_fnc_DynamicGroups when using ALiVE. REAPER - You need data module setup and Player Options module (set to player persistence). If in doubt place them again in your mission to make sure you have up to date settings etc. We have a fix coming in 0.9.9

What do you mean by you have to respawn everytime you join? Shouldn't be any respawn on joining, unless you are dying at start?

To quote our dev wiki "Why a cloud DB? MSO featured a local SQL database. This proved difficult to support and maintain. Much of our time was spent helping groups set up and maintain a DB. In addition a new SQL schema was needed on subsequent releases and updates. Many hosters do not allow external SQL connections or the possibility of installing MySQL on a game server. Finally, with ALiVE, the team were keen to push the boundaries around web integration and a companion web app. The decision was made to move to a model that did not rely on a locally installed database. This would remove the need for database support or installation by groups. By using a cloud based DB with an HTTP API (Apache CloudDB), we can guarantee wider support for game servers and groups. We could centrally manage the DB and provide greater web integration by storing data on a single community DB. CouchDB was chosen due to its HTTP API and ability to scale. The drawback to this approach is that ALiVE would require its own server infrastructure and therefore cost. The team agreed to move forward and fund the server, but with a view to use donations and ads to cover costs. In addition, the team agreed that they would look at local storage storage where it made sense (i,e. either local file or local couchdb/sqlite)." We are fully aware of the local DB options, but at this time we are focused on War Room integration. If anyone wishes to join the development team to help us implement either local file based storage or a Linux based plugin for our current web approach, please let us know!

You need to post the issue to our bug tracker along with your mission and logs. Please ensure this is reproducible with just CBA and ALiVE.

alivemod.com The next generation dynamic persistent mission addon for ArmA3 Release 0.9.8 [table=width: 100%] [tr] [td]Optimisation The main focus of this release is performance, optimisation and bug fixing as well as compatibility for CBA_A3 RC6 and Kunduz map! We have been polishing up some of the older modules and exercising the new commands introduced by ArmA3 1.44 and the latest CBA. Also in this release is the second iteration of Asymmetric Warfare Environment, which includes a lot of bug fixes and tweaks - many thanks to everyone for providing feedback and please keep it coming! There's been a bit of a hiatus with map indexing because we've been working on a new process that should hopefully simplify and reduce the effort required. Our newest team member, Cry3rn, has been hard at work reviewing the scripts and while there is no standalone tool for indexing, if all goes well with the current work it is something we hope to be able to provide in the future. Release Highlights Optimization enhancements to module loading and AI spawning Improvements and fixes to Asymmetric Warfare Environment Added support for Kunduz and Gorgona Several small enhancements to improve the user experience Dead people no longer answer back Compatibility with CBA_A3 RC6 and introducing key binding for ALiVE [/td] [td][table=width: 100%][tr][td][/td][/tr][tr][td] Kunduz map now officially supported [/td][/tr][/table][/td] [/tr] [/table] Please note that as with all updates, if you have an issue loading a mission made with a previous version of ALiVE, delete and replace the modules in that mission.

 alivemod.com The next generation dynamic persistent mission addon for ArmA3 Release 0.9.7 Asymmetric Warfare Environment The headline for this release is the addition of a new type of Military AI Commander. Asymmetric Commanders have different objectives, tactics and techniques to a regular combatant. His goal is to disrupt the enemy, destabilise the security situation and generally create havoc without becoming decisively engaged with security forces. Insurgency forces will employ tactics such as sabotage, hit and run attacks, roadblocks and IEDs. They will attempt to blend in with the civilian population in order to move weapons, explosives and suicide bombers to strategic locations whilst establishing secret weapons caches, IED factories and recruitment centres to spread the insurgency amongst the disillusioned civilian population. Security Forces will need to conduct rigorous patrolling and develop strong intelligence through searching and monitoring of civilian activity in order to reduce the insurgent threat. A full description of ALiVE Asymmetric Warfare including a setup guide and hints for Security Forces is available on the ALiVE Wiki Here Please note that as with all updates, if you have an issue loading a mission made with a previous version of ALiVE, delete and replace the modules in that mission. Download Grab the latest version from ALiVEmod.com Also available from PlayWithSix and ArmAholic. Note that this build requires the new @ALiVEServer package. War Room The Server Performance suite built into the War Room has had a makeover with a lot of detail added to explain what each metric means. This is a very powerful analytical tool for server admins and we strongly encourage people to try it, even if only standalone without any other aspects of ALiVE. This will help us to record server stats so we can build a benchmark and provide everyone and BIS with invaluable performance data. Join Up Now! Manual Please refer to the ALiVE Wiki.

2-3 people I believe. Nou, Jaynus and maybe ViperMaul? I'm sure the announcement will attract more!

Follow the instructions on the War Room Server settings page - follow the "validating your setup" steps. Specifically, you want to check what aliveserver.log and alive.log are recording. Cheers

but we got achievements in Steam and no content.

Appreciate the sentiment! We added a donate button to our download page :) Please help keep this mod ALiVE! http://www.alivemod.com/#Download

There just wasn't a good category for AGM/CSE/ALiVE, they are gameplay enhancers/mechanics that improve the overall gameplay experience but are not total conversions. RHS isn't really a TC either... so modders clearly needed to choose a category to participate in. Maybe they should have just had 2 categories - Missions and Mods and split the winnings across the top 5 entries for each. As Ryd said, there are few surprises on the results. Congrats to the winners and commiserations to the "runners up"!

Correct. We need an experienced C++ person to help us migrate our C# plugin :( so we can support Linux based persistent missions.

This isn't about BIS functions. The Arma 3 weather engine is broken and won't sync on MP - even with trying to force it using scripts. It can't work in MP. You might think you are syncing weather, but weather gets out of sync over time and is impacted by JIP events. There is no workaround, its an engine issue. You can't script MP weather sync in Arma 3. Like I said, you may think you are, but over (a short amount of time) weather gets desync'd.

ooops Ok can you give us specific maps? We reported an issue to BIS about hangars being back to front on Stratis and Altis.

Can you guys post a ticket on our tracker? http://dev.withsix.com/projects/alive/issues Thanks!

Not to "rain" on this parade, but how does this even work considering MP weather sync is completely broken? http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=18237

Thanks for the report. Will get round to taking a look. Couple of things, best thing for crashes is to report them to BIS, Linux server is a little unstable and generally we don't expect any kind of performance with 500+ units spawned (assuming that's what you meant). Finally, any crashes should be reproduced with just CBA and ALiVE to rule out any other mods. Cheers Tup

Here's your issue: 19:46:51 ALiVE SYS_DATA_COUCHDB - READ DATA RESPONSE: UNAUTHORISED! 19:46:51 ALiVE SYS_DATA_COUCHDB - READ DATA RESULT: UNAUTHORISED! 19:46:51 ALiVE SYS_DATA - CONFIG: UNAUTHORISED! 19:46:51 ALiVE-0 CANNOT CONNECT TO DATABASE, DISABLING DATA MODULE Ensure you have registered your server to War Room and followed the steps to validate your setup. Check what Alive.log and aliveserver.log are reporting.

You just need ALiVE Required, ALiVE Data module (with perf mon enabled). Ensure your server name on War Room doesn't have any special chars in the name. Also check your RPT for perfmon messages to ensure the module is actually working. EDIT: OK I can see we have data for you, there's a bug with the chart for some reason for your server. Will take a look and fix. Thanks for the report EDIT: FIXED!

Turn on debug in the Data module and post your RPT to pastebin
