I would like to help. Can you pastebin your RPT and database logs? AFTER removing your passwords for the server side stuff? I have a working mission file, but would like to know whats going on before so it does not happen after. Josh

We had soooooo many more than we should have but here is ones that maybe affected it. I also realize some of these should not work together. We hacked up lots of stuff to get it all working and were always shocked when it did. Here goes. **EDIT** we were running Infistar yes. Zupa's capture points - but VERY heavy customized VEMF with headless client (HC2) A3Xai With Headless (HC1) (40 ish AI ramping to around 70 at capacity (50 players) DMS / Occupation but only for the taxis and air transport The A3Xai was the missions that would literally rip a hole through you or miss and it was like THUD 4...3...2....1 SNAP SNAP. They were a ways away. Missed very rarely. If I can expand on anything let me know. Im trying to live a Tl Dr; life.

Hmm - Then I think I am out of thoughts. I know one thing is for sure... I had an Australia server where AI would shoot you dead from one edge of the salt flats to almost the middle. We had a player with a base in the middle. Im going to guesstimate it was 1100m. He complained and we had to move the mission. He was losing lots of vehicles and could not face west and build twice a server cycle LOL ….

Hey Heywood, Please post your list of the "scripts that limit this" in case another time someone is searching and comes across this thread. Forums work best this way. Josh

I feel this is part of the skill level of the AI themselves. The better they are at "spotting" the farter out they will snatch a fool by the neck. Looking in VEMF (I realize you don't utilize this as you said) I see these lines : class Hardcore { accuracy = 0.4; aimingShake = 0.20; aimingSpeed = 0.3; endurance = 0.25; spotDistance = 0.5; spotTime = 0.85; courage = 1; reloadSpeed = 0.3; commanding = 1; general = 0.7; }; Maybe check out how he's configured this?

Are you using a custom spawner?

I may be able to drum up some old.... oh wait there they are...… The Intro song which I made from the all famous song is "HERE" which is almost perfectly timed for respawns. Kangaroo mission is / was fun. I have more missions somewhere too for DMS called Brindi's house, Steve's been captured, Terri needs vaccine and a few others. Custom kill feed said "Some bloke was killed by a Native. " and then we had the "Weapon" show as this: good times lol. I'm downloading Arma 3

Ill build you a working one with a coupe of traders in major cities to get you started with the format of the traders and unlocked prisons if you guys want. You can do the redux (very cool map) and when I am done you can see if it's what you wanted. Only thing, is that my real life work requires a high level of focus, so I cant respond to messages or the such during the day, but I can work on it for you guys and get you something in a week or so ish if it's worth it.

@kuplion will have to confirm since it's been a VERY long time since I saw a trader. Did the trader format change to something different than this, or did it change TO this format? If the traders are not showing up in the server is there a server RPT log error ? Can you pastebin the RPT for me ? (remove personal info if any from RPT).

Far from dumb i'm sure. Glad you figured it out. Josh

I was tired of people asking me one by one how to install infistar. I felt there was a better way to explain this so that anyone could not only DO the task but also understand WHAT they were doing. The instructions are a challenge and the reference to the @Folder in your start.bat is totally unneeded and very confusing to people. Rather than pasting calls and do this do that - I show people what "this and that" means. Here is my install video showing the easy way - Updated for the new additions in the Description.ext. (Version 90)

In my experience, few players went to the big cities. The lag is only client side, and the map is amazing for large scale fun.

Hey Red, Let me know if you need ANY help on this. I used to have this for my community, and it was the favorite map for every player. I agree with the previous posts, that the cities are very laggy. I even had a bridge from the mainland to the island to the south that has like an entire area no one used. Wood was a challenge to farm until you update the class names, prisons were locked until you add a very short line in the init.sqf you will create. I had 6 traders for the map size and they were all custom with custom animations. I used your trader mod for this and every other map I have made, so any help I can give would reward me greatly.

Hey Exiles, I have a real need for a custom map designer or team, to work together building the newest and in my view the best map for survival since Cherno. The Valley is where I live in real life. It's in way Northern Utah USA. See pics (and very soon will add video link of the actual ground) below. I have tried on several occasions to watch tutorials and such to create the map. I have never even had a visually correct model in the designing tools. If anyone has real experience or at the least a true understanding of how the maps are created, please connect with me and let's turn this place into the best map that Arma 3 exile has ever seen. PICTURE:

I could be wrong, but it sounds like your mission config may have way too many spawned cars or objects. I used this map for literally years with 30 - 40 players regular and have recently considered putting up another one. Is it all stock ?

I did some research and came up with this after aligning 3 map parts from my area. In L3DT I have a terrain as I see everyday. It's just green I will keep trying till something happens.

[SOLVED] There was far far more at play here than a simple mission error. The wrong files were used (broken ones) to try and fix. We started from scratch (Started over from the working PBO) and within 5 minutes the server was running as expected. This started from wanting to add 6 map markers. It snowballed from there. LESSON LEARNED: When in doubt, start fresh until you can learn to do things in a structured way. This is NOT an insult, this is the truth. We all started somewhere. We have ALL been in this exact situation. As long as you learn from the errors that is what is important. Josh

Adding 6 markers is very easy. I see where you destroyed everything. Please paste your original working mission.sqm

ok - need the original mission please as well. That I can help with

https://discord.gg/ct6QMY ill be in this discord for the next 10 minutes. @Lincoln.

Not really. Here is the real answer on this one... Use 3den editor Start from scratch This file is so messed up brother. Its got so many added items and classes. Starting over will teach you how, and at the same time provide you FASTER resolution. trust me. This is a mess.

This is too far gone for me. There is so many errors. what map is this for? What program did you use to do this ? @Lincoln.

yes. Please post the file to Pastebin.com and provide link. Thanks, Josh

That makes a lot more sense, I completely understand sorry Bud. I wish I could help more the only thing I would say is to replace it with the stock one if it's possible, as a test if nothing else.
