[SOLVED] Persistence trouble - New user

  1. 8 years ago

    Hey guys.
    I try to make a persistence campaign on our server. It seems to be working with the spawning and stuff...but the persistence is not there. I'm not what I did wrong.

    We are using GamingDeluxe server with as provider btw. It register player death, enter and exit of vehicles, but nothing else it seems.
    Also when admin press "Server save and exit" it stuck at "ALiVE Persistence - Saving Data - Please Wait".

    When I set up the server, I was also unsure of the "hostname" (The provider said just put in http//server.gamingdeluxe.com or just use same name as the server name, tried both). Another thing that I was unsure of was the location to put the alive.cfg in. In our control panel, the server.cfg is locate in arma3/instance but not at the root folder of Arma3 itself.

    Here is the aliveplugin report. https://www.dropbox.com/s/prnyh7y01sg18pg/aliveplugin_2015-11-03_20-21.txt?dl=0

    Im at the end of my limited knowledge here. Any suggestion?

  2. Saving can take a while depending on the mission - how long have you waited after clicking Save and Exit?

    alive.cfg should go into the root A3 folder

    Also I would double check you've followed all the server setup instructions found in your War Room profile, and that you are using the latest @aliveserver files and plugin, as well as the most recent version of CBA

    One of the devs will look at the plugin report and let you know if anything is amiss.

    Did your session go into the next day? The log stops at 11:58pm and I don't see any evidence of a save.

    Can you also provide your server RPT?

    Thanks!

    Here you go. Had a couple of logs in there. The server stop at around 00:29 after we press Server Save and Exit. I had to do hard restart so that's may be why we lost some of the log. Is this the one you want?

    We've been playing for few hours before call it a night. Would it actually help to auto save more often? every few minutes maybe?

    I also use the latest @ALiVEserver, I believe, but to be sure I'll redownload it again if you guys have recently updated.

    Thanks!

    No don't autosave, actually need to remove that.

    Make sure you download from the Server Settings War Room page and not our public download.

    Looks like there may have been a crash at 00:20

    Do you have the Server RPT too?

  6. The Arma3server_"date".RPT are already in the dropbox. I'm adding the server console in now.

    Is this the one you are looking for? If not, the rest is in the same dropbox folder.

    Sorry it was late! Checking now...

    Hmm, strange, looks like a save was attempted

    0:20:02 --------------------------------------------------------------
     0:20:02 ALiVE Exit - mode: REMSAVE
     0:20:02 --------------------------------------------------------------

    But it does not complete.

    This could be a number of reasons:

    1. Not all players (including HC but excluding admin) were disconnected
    2. Plugin crashed.

    It doesn't look like a plugin crash to be honest.

    Did everyone disconnect? Were you using HC?

  8. Do you need everyone to be disconnected before Server Save and Exit?

    There were couple of AFK players in when we tried it and it just stuck at Saving data - Please wait. And we dont use headless client.

    It should kick everyone bar the admin then save.

  10. We have tried it again today.
    "ALiVE Profile System - Saving Data" is showing up, give me a desync (im admin) and connection lost.
    Here is the log file:

    Thanks, looks like plugin stops working possibly due to number of profiles.

    To rule out a mod/mission issue, can you confirm that persistence works with cba/alive and a stock mission please.

  12. Your plugin version is wrong.
    The first line in the log will indicate version and you want it to be 'v2.0a-9a98f0e'.

    Download the latest one here: http://alivemod.com/downloads/@aliveserver.zip

  13. Changed the plugin version from the following link. It seems to be working now. Downloaded @aliveserver from the instruction site before.
    I'll do a proper test later this week. Thank you for the help. I'll keep you update on the result.
