Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - kutya - 04-06-2013 I'm playing around with a rather CPU heavy single-player dynamic mission (HAC 1.43) and I get much better performance playing it running via a dedicated server on the same machine (using 4 cores instead of 2). I use TA2DST v1.4 and my only grief is that I can't save the mission, which can be rather long. Is this possible at all? I've found some threads on BI, but none have an obvious answer. I know I can run it in a non-dedi environment, but I get much worse performance. BTW the mission can be MP too, but I just play it alone, at least for now. Re: Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - Outlawz7 - 04-06-2013 Press Esc and see if there's a Save option. Re: Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - kutya - 04-06-2013 It's grayed out. Re: Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - Alwarren - 04-06-2013 Add a radio trigger and enter "saveGame" in the OnActivation field. Re: Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - kutya - 04-07-2013 Phew. That easy? Nice, thanks, I'll try it out. Re: Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - kutya - 04-07-2013 Dang, it doesn't work. I think it works in MP, but not in dedicated server mode. SaveGame does nothing in dedi. I also put in a load trigger, and it reloads the mission in non-dedi mode and there it saves. But that doesn't help me. I think it isn't really possible, but hope dies last.

I know you can save a local MP game for sure, but guess not a dedi one. Re: Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - Rund - 04-07-2013 I think it's impossible to save games on a dedicated server. I've never seen a savegame in a server profile folder The only way would be using an external database, and scripting the saving of all object positions etc.... Re: Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - kutya - 04-07-2013 Yeah, I feared that is the only solution. Someone on BIS was mentioning MySQL and some pbo. But that would be too much for me. I'm more like a casual mission maker. Re: Is saving a dedi-MP mission possible? - kutya - 04-07-2013 Actually I recall I did such a thing for OFP, using SoW (Sinews of War) save. |
