Greetings all, How are we today?

So I am having a few issues with my Alive server, the persistence and server saving isn't working quite right, by that I mean it's not working at all. Now, I have been doing some hunting around on the forums, server RPT's and mission settings to see if I can come up with some fixes for the issue and what is causing it.

At this time, I believe that it is an issue to do with the server not loading the alive.cfg due to some strange file pathing. According to the plugin log, it is trying to load my server.cfg file instead. As I said above, I have tried a few potential fixes in order to sort this issue but I won't be able to try them all at this time (I don't have direct access to the server box via RDP) I need to wait for the server administrator.

Just in case, I have uploaded my alive plugin log and server rpt they are in a handy .zip folder here

The main error, however, is this:

[2017-09-18 00:24:21] [info]     Config file: C:\TCAFiles\Users\160th\9\C:\TCAFiles\Users\160th\9\TADST\AliveServer\TADST_config.cfg 
[2017-09-18 00:24:21] [error] ###### ServerName ######
[2017-09-18 00:24:21] [error]     Error: Unable to open config file
[2017-09-18 00:24:21] [error]     RAW:   ServerName
[2017-09-18 00:24:21] [debug]     Return value [['ServerName','ERROR','Unable to open config file']]
[2017-09-18 00:24:21] [debug] |/-\ Elapsed time: 1.002ms

As you can see, it is trying to load the server config and not the alive one.

Another issue I am having is when I press server save and exit or player exit, it is not saving correctly and it doesn't seem to work correctly. The RPT file reads that the button has been pressed but nothing more happens, I get no message on screen to say things are saving no matter how long I wait. When I reconnect to the server, my position etc hasn't been saved. This is all documented in the provided files.

Some of the steps I have taken so far to fix/troubleshoot the issues are:

• Renamed the mission
• Deleted and replaced the Data module, tested it with Local and cloud settings
• Redownloaded the alive.cfg and alive server mod files (I did this via FTP after checking that they weren't blocked on my machine)
• set persistance=1; in the server config
• set Respawnonreload=-1; in the description.ext

Some of the things I am going to get the Admin to do are:

• Double check that the alive.cfg and alive server mod aren't being blocked
• Change the start parameters so the mod line loads before the config line
• Move the alive server mod to the start and end of the mod list to see if that makes a difference

Just some general points as well, I used to run the server using TADST but now use a different server box, using a .bat file and TCAdmin to launch the game. It is a dedicated server, I believe running windows. The server is sending data to the War room as I can see it updating our combat logs etc It's just that the saving feature isn't working.

I haven't tried this with just Alive and CBA yet, as the issue I am having is the wrong config file being loaded. We are using a number of mods, though that should all work. We aren't using the latest CBA yet, we are using the last build.

If anyone can give me some pointers and a definite fix then I'd be grateful, also if you see any other fixable errors in the RPT please let me know what they are and how to fix them, as we all hate errors :D

Thanks
Elliot
