So it seems that everyone persists except me after server save and exit. Is this supposed to happen or is there a fix?

Hi thanks for the reply!

The log is 3 hours long so is too big for pastebin, however here is one for a vanilla mission done by Spyder.

Start
aliverserver plugin

RPT

Restart of server

Situation is that everyone player exits as they should then I as admin do a server save and exit. When I start the server with the same mission loaded I log in first and my position isnt the same as when I left and I have all of the gear i had at the beginning of the mission last time. However everyone else has gone to their correct positions with the loadouts persisting as well.

@SavageCDN definitely weird it worked once, I read a post and Heroes said about putting respawnonstart=-1 which I added in and nearly cried with happiness!

I then updated alive and aliveserver mods from github not the server itself and it stopped working, and i actually did cry a little bit.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah it seems everyone else loads in ok. There are no scripts on and I have respawnonstart=-1

We are saving in the cloud and I'll just do one for our stratis op right now which I built last week.

The only difference it seems between me and them is that im server save and exiting and they are not

Oh and I have my variable name as z1 and have a zeus gamemaster assigned to me

@HeroesandvillainsOS and @SavageCDN ok so a new mission works, could it be that I haven't updated all of the modules in the operation I wasnt persisting on? The one I've just built works perfectly

Weird that it worked on that one and not on Tanoa, here is the RPT for the mission which wont persist me. Completely remade from scratch, nothing has been brought over at all

first one

Restart

exactly the same, I'll give it a go, did i read somewhere that Vcom is conflicting with it?

I'll give it a go on our op this evening, I've even copied across the data module and others across from the working mission as well as description and init... heres hoping!

@SavageCDN your prayers worked... weirdly... It apparently is now persisting my position and gear... the Gods of Arma have spoken! Thanks for your help.

I have another question which is slightly off this topic but I hope you can answer it. Without Connecting the friendly opcom to the enemy Mil placement modules is there a way to have friendly opcom hold an objective after we have captured it?

For example, our operation next time will be to secure a village, its not been detected by opcom as its not connected however the enemy opcom knows about it and has it held, how do i go about securing the objective and holding it against counter attack once we have moved on?

Hope that makes sense and let me know if it would be better to start a new thread.

Cheers

nice one thanks will give it a go!

That doesn't seem to work however I have found a good workaround. If you connect the opcom module for your friendly side to the enemy placement modules then it finds all of the objectives. If you dont place friendly placement modules, then friendlies won't be placed and won't therefore move to attack positions however OPCOM will still target them, you can then secure areas, they then go blue in C2Istar and are secured. Then bring in your Merlin with Squaddies and they will hold the area.
