drakenof 9 Posted May 18, 2012 Well i'm having some issues.Every 4-5 hours or so, i need to restart the server because of zombies count / loot bug / server extremely slow. It's not that bad and doesn't bother me much but sometimes after a restart tents / vehicles do not appear. I think you said somewhere it's because of a " bad server restart " or something like that, well, why not, but what's a " proper " server restart then ? I'm using the " shutdown " function of ArmA 2 RCon, if it's not " proper " enough, what should i do ? I'm fucking sick of loosing vehicles because of this shit.

howichrgelazer 69 Posted May 18, 2012 If a user comes across a vehicle and saves its state it should be there, even after server shutdowns and restarts.The monitor process they are rolling out has built in restarts every 6 hours by default (If I'm reading the value right). But yes #shutdown is probably the cleanest way of stopping the server, but I don't think it should affect vehicle saves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drakenof 9 Posted May 18, 2012 If a user comes across a vehicle and saves its state it should be there, even after server shutdowns and restarts.It should indeed.Sadly a restart i've done last night proved me the opposite. So yeah, if the vehicle was lost because of a bad restart, i wonder what is a good restart.>sick of losing vehicleshttp://lmgtfy.com/?q=alphaseriously mateGet out. Thanks.

colonel_black 0 Posted May 18, 2012 >sick of losing vehicleshttp://lmgtfy.com/?q=alphaseriously mateBe quiet and try and help the guy.It's a legit question as a server host. Alpha or not. Pre-Alpha or not. Beta or not. Gold or not. It's a question and it may have a answer that may resolve the issue and let the players of the server enjoy it more.There's nothing wrong with that is there?Alpha means jack all when it's a question. He wasn't slating the mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-NEW-Nemes1s 0 Posted May 18, 2012 If too many players try to connect to the server after a restart the tent/vehicle spawn script might timeout so that they don't spawn properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ordeal 8 Posted May 18, 2012 Ok Gabriel this is a proper restart on the ANZ1-3 servers to get vehicles working 80% of the time after that keep trying till it works :/Stop server, hive and hive auth.Start hive auth then hive then serverJoin the server first or at least before most people, login and LOCK the server.Some people will have joined before you had a chance to login but as long as its only a few thats fine otherwise kick them. Now start the server all the way till your in-game and wait another 30sec till unlocking it.Works 80% time every time!p.s. Took a shit load of testing to get this right.

drakenof 9 Posted May 18, 2012 Can't do that. I've no access to the hive auth. I'm using the Olut host services, it's not truely MY server.Meaning i have very little access... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
