ALiVE Systems

Place this module and ALiVE automatically records game statistics as they happen to the ALiVEmod.com website. Player stats and mission events are also recorded to help groups and players track their performance. Parameters in this module can be set to disable statistics and/or performance data. You will need to register on ALiVEmod.com for this feature to work.

Usage: Place the Database module and statistics will be automatically enabled. To disable statistics change the parameter on the Database module or place the Disable Stats module in the editor. Alternatively you can use the ALiVE Admin Command menu in game.

Database module ensures mission data and player stats are reported to the external Arma 3 War Room at www.alivemod.com. ALiVE will automatically send data to the database as events occur in game. This includes player kills, deaths, use of vehicles, injuries, contacts with enemy units, heals, completion of objectives and much more.

Editor Notes

The functionality only works on Dedicated Server MP games with 2 or more players.

You need to register on alivemod.com, then register a group and server in order to download the server addin and to get an alive.cfg file to post stats to the web service. Instructions are on the server registration page.

Download and unzip the Server addins into your @ALIVE folder on your dedicated server.

Download and copy the ALiVE.cfg file to: [SYSTEMROOT]:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\ALiVE

It is recommended that you prefix all your mission names with a unique identifier so they’re easy to spot in the stats list!
