Hi mate, here's the server name. Hopefully we can get it working for the start of our campaign tonight ;) 40 Commando | Operation KRATOS | www.40cdo.org

Still having issues with persistence on our Sahrani Campaign. It connects to the ALiVE Database and any kills we get show up on the War Room working perfectly. However when we used the ALiVE Save & Exit, followed by restarting the server and using the same mission, everything had reset, including kills on the scoreboard and player/vehicle/object location back to the mission default. Here's the Server RPT, sorry I couldn't get it on pastebin, it's too large. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2YvcsQ9lxhsckoyNUpLT0Rid2c/view?usp=sharing

Is this an alright server name? 40 Commando | Operation KRATOS | www.40cdo.org If so, where do I find my Alive.log and AliveServer.log? Appdata > Local and then ALiVE? If so they are not there.

Hi Mate, Here's the RPT for the server with debug enabled on the Data Module. http://pastebin.com/19hST4Ed

This is looking amazing and really detailed! Can't wait for the release of this. :D

You're a star mate. Still having problems with the ALiVE Server Save and Exit as it just hangs on the saving to database, but I'm sure that's a problem on my side of things. Will try again tonight.

Nightmare, is persistence working though?

Having trouble getting Sahrani A3 to work with the ALiVE War Room.. might just be me failing to follow the instructions and I accidentally missed something out but does anyone know if Sahrani A3 is definetly working with the War Room?

If only I could sneakily install ArmA at work! Darn

Does anyone know if the latest update to Sahrani A3 has affected the indexing of it? Oh and cheers for the quick fix :)

Came on here to ask when Sahrani A3 would be indexed as my group just started a campaign on it and I forgot to check if it was indexed beforehand but low and behold my prayers have been answered!

Streaming me and my group having some fun using this mod if anyone wants to watch, and by the way I've been testing this mod all day and it's absolutely incredible :D http://www.twitch.tv/eaglestrike999

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but will the OST you guys have made for the mod be available from release, would be awesome to be able to use it for mission making :D

The amount of updates you guys bring out each day is amazing. I check this thread every day at work and there is always something being worked on. Oh and the SMG looks amazing so far ;)

You're idea is really good and as you pointed out, the flaw is that people can make logging/detection very hard. Would it not be possible to simply detect if an A3 Server was running ANY additional content except for Vanilla. For example Battleye checks each client out, could it not check, upon launch, each server (maybe not specifically battleye but you get the idea). Servers that went through the application process and in a sense, get themselves whitelisted for additional content and wouldn't arise any sort of query whereas ones that are not whitelisted and have additional content being run aside from vanilla A3 could be flagged for BI to look into. I'm no coder or server wiz but I'm pretty sure something like that is entirely possible. Whether there is ways to get around it I have no idea.

To reveal/look for it, sorry I should have made that clear. Edited original posts to clear that up.

Ok then I change my recipe for a Crusty Crabs burger :rolleyes: The point still stands though, they shouldn't be allowed to use other people's content (without permission) on a monetized server, whether it is the defining reason they are making money or not. Asking the community to police this has so many serious flaws (look out for, not take action against), for example the Private Server scenario I brought up in my last post.

Brings back memories of BF2PR, absolutely amazing, can't wait for their release ;)

Ok so sorry if I'm wrong, someone tried to explain this to me and I didn't quite understand it so I decided to read the whole thread and throw my piece in. I know you said content aside, but the same issue keeps arising from what I've read. Whether "Server 2" is more organised and better run than "Server 1", it is still making money off content they don't own, i.e the Patrol Ops mission. Yes let's do this. If I go to Crusty Crabs under the deep blue sea, steal their Crusty Crabs recipe and simply serve it at a high class diner that maybe, is less rowdy than Crusty Crabs, does that give me the right to earn money off it? Sure I'm going to the effort of providing great service, but it's still using content I don't own. I'm fairly sure this hasn't been brought up before but also think about this. If private servers are allowed to monetize themselves, how are content creators realistically supposed to monitor those servers if they decide not to gain permission from the content creator and hide that content on the server. Players paying for the server wouldn't notice, and if it was hidden ON the server, how are content creators supposed to police that? (Just to clarify I mean look for/find them, not take action against. Also bare in mind it is a private server.)

Ok I'm now getting an error when anyone tries to join the server...? "Server error: Player without identity ****" I have tried restarting the box, restarting the server multiple times and re-making the CONFIG, none of those have worked. Edit: Fixed it.. For some reason it was reading from the wrong directory and was reading the old config which was causing random errors.. Why is it whenever I finally decide I've spent long enough trying to fix a problem to post it on the forums that, I find a solution in under 24 hours after that -_-

Yes.. Just yes :eek:

Thanks for this guys. Our group currently owns two of the same boxes from the same company, NFO. The one I am trying to set up and our old one which runs TADST. Our old one can run two servers no problem as we often leave our Training Server up. I am not opposed to buying more RAM if it means we can run two servers smoothly but it just strikes me as odd that this setup won't actually let me even start the second server whereas our old one using TADST does it with no hesitation or problems. Also here's an image of my C: Drive. It's not even a quarter of the way full. SOLVED Double checked that ArmA3Server was running as an administrator by default and it wasn't, changed that and now it works like a charm.

Hi Terox, First off thanks for the great guide, I started with almost no experience in doing this and have ended up with a seriously organised and NEARLY functional server :) The only issue I am having is with running multiple servers at the same time. I have opened up all the ports needed and am trying to run one server on port 2302 and the other on 2382 as well as a few others on different ports, however I am sure if I can find the fix to running these two at the same time I can sort the others out. Both servers launch individually perfectly fine on their corresponding ports, however when I launch both together I get the following error: ArmA3 Out of memory. Your swap file is too small. only 5MB of free space left. Increase your swap file size or delete some files from your hard disk. I have no idea what is causing this as I have followed the guide word for word (hopefully!) I am using Firedaemon and am running no mods until I can get all the servers fully working.
