[Problem] Persistent Server and Position Saving

[Scotty_Games]

I'm renting an Arma 2 CO server here on NFO and I wanted to know about two things;

1: Is there a way to make a server persistent (continue playing even with no players)?

2: How do I make it so player positions are saved, like in Dayz, so when players log back in they are where they were when they logged out?


Any help on these would be great. Thank you in advance.

1) In your server.cfg, set persistent = 1 to make the server persistent, even when all players disconnected.

2) The mission would need to support this, ArmA2Net is an add on for this. IniDB can also be used.

Do you know how to install mods to a server?

Well... Just were do I put the mods? I need a file path.

The mods are best placed into the server root folder and then loaded with the -mod= start-up parameter. Please remember to put the bikey files also into the key folder, if the mods come with key files.
