Well I have a basic respawn where if I get killed it sends me back to my FOB. (Respawn = BASE, marker is respawn_west).

So do I need to set up my respawns differently so that when I load my missions back up I'm still standing in same place? If so..how should I do that?

Thanks Highhead. Sounds like it could be a bug then as I never use the Respawn on start variable and I make all of the missions for our group. I always use the Player Options module and have yes selected for everything on there.

I'll load up a mission tonight and post the RPT for yall.

Try putting
respawnOnStart = 0:
in the description.ect and see if it changes anything

Edit: read that ligthert's comment below
apparently the wiki is no longer accurate lol, respawnOnStart = 0; equates to respawning on start being enabled..

respawnOnStart = 1; //Respawn on start. Run respawn script on start.
respawnOnStart = 0; //Dont respawn on start. Run respawn script on start.
respawnOnStart = -1; //Dont respawn on start. Don't run respawn script on start.

@Tupolov Did that work for you @AUTigerGrad ?

About to test right now.

Yup, that did the trick! Thanks guys. I'll just need to remember to add the respawnOnStart = -1 on all of my missions now. Thanks again!

You will only fail the mission if you don't have respawn enabled at all. You need to use, respawn = "BASE" or another respawn form as well as respawnOnStart.

I can also confirm with Royal Marines Kunduz that although my mission is persisting, player location (I haven't made the edit Flopchop made, which is why his player location now saves), vehicle location, teammate location and gear all default back to base.

If a contributor or Dev could clarify how to edit these things that would be appreciated.

Could anyone give Flopchop a hand on this when they have a moment?

One of the devs tested things this morning with a new mission - all is working OK with regards to persistence and vanilla factions. So for that mission the possibilities are:

• outdated ALiVE modules - you must open the mission in the editor, note module settings and delete/replace them, re-save mission
• you are not using the latest plugin for ALiVE - log into your War Room account and download the plugin from there or from the link on this forum
• possible mod conflict although if it's worked in the past that is unlikely

Are any of the missions on the site set up with all of the persistence settings in place? I'd like to see this for myself so I know what I should be expecting upon server restart.

If not, could someone do a quick edit to one of the existing ones for me?

Also, I don't think Flopchop, through my conversations with him, is asking whether or not these things are capable of persisting. He's asking how to make these things persist in a mission that isn't currently saving vehicle location/player location/loadout/teammate location.

We're both, as you know, extremely new to ALiVE.

Sorry my mis-understanding... in order to make things persistent you need to:

• change each ALiVE module setting to turn persistence on (if the option exists in the module.. if not don't worry about it)
• add the ALiVE Data module and adjust settings

That's it.. assuming of course you have a functional War Room account and you are running @aliveserver mod on the server itself.

Excellent. Thank you. As we discussed I guess it's time for me to learn how to un-PBO and use the editor. :)

Last question for now (not sure if you missed it above). Are any of the missions on the site currently set up this way? And if not, is there one coming?

Will find out and post back.

Excellent walk-thru on pbo files and editing missions by Gunter.
