It actually is working, we just did not get the Exile alert message saying we could cut away from our chute with shift+alt+v but pressing that key combo does in fact cut away your chute! Thank you for porting this to standalone @kuplion

I can't think of anything else that could be conflicting. We don't have anything custom that touches player spawning. We can cut away from and re-deploy chutes all day if we bail out of an air vehicle, just not when we spawn in.

@kuplion All files are identical to your latest repo. Possible bug or something conflicting with our server? Anything else I can provide you with to troubleshoot?

I installed this yesterday. I will reinstall in case I missed something.

Hey @kuplion Should we be able to cut away from our chute when parachuting in after a respawn? We used to be able to cut away from chutes after spawning with the ExAd version but seem to be unable to with your standalone. Everything else works flawlessly.

Are we supposed to do anything with the included mission.sqm file?

I couldn't get the built in auto restart to work nor any of the other user provided scripts so I pieced together one that works for me. It may or may not work for you but I figured I would share since this is a modding community. You can probably clean up the code since I am far from a programmer. With this batch file you can - Set the restart time down to the second It tells you when your server started and when it is going to restart automatically It tells you if/when your server crashed and restarts it for you Time stamps everything so you know when everything happened No need for BEC or anything else third party, just PowerShell and my server came with it Checks on your server every 3 seconds and restarts when needed Timer restarts if your server crashes This screenshot shows it running at 1 minute intervals to test and display the status messages. I killed the process manually to test the process checker and restart. Then I let it run for the 1 minute and you can see it notifies you that it is time for a restart and does so without user interaction. Usage - Set your restart timer (below is for 4 hour restarts) set hours="4" set minutes="0" set seconds="0" Set your launch parameters and folder paths REM // Launch parameters start "Exile" /high "arma3server.exe" -port=2302 "-config=@ExileServer\config.cfg" "-cfg=@ExileServer\basic.cfg" "-profiles=config_exile" -name=Exile "-servermod=@ExileServer;" "-mod=@Exile;" -malloc=tbbmalloc -autoinit -enableHT Run the batch file. Place the batch file in the same folder as arma3server.exe The Batch File (save as auto_restart.bat or anothername.bat) @echo off cls set gameserver=Arma Exile title %gameserver% Auto Restart / Process Checker :start REM How long until auto restart? set hours="4" set minutes="0" set seconds="0" REM // Launch parameters start "Exile" /high "arma3server.exe" -port=2302 "-config=@ExileServer\config.cfg" "-cfg=@ExileServer\basic.cfg" "-profiles=config_exile" -name=Exile "-servermod=@ExileServer;" "-mod=@Exile;" -malloc=tbbmalloc -autoinit -enableHT REM //////// You do not need to update anything else below this line //////// REM Pull, display and create some time functions for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('powershell "(get-date %time%).AddHours(%hours%).AddMinutes(%minutes%).AddSeconds(%seconds%).ToString('yyyyMMddHHmmss')"') do set endtime=%%G for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('powershell "(get-date %time%).ToString('HH:mm:ss')"') do set nowtimeclean=%%G for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('powershell "(get-date %time%).AddHours(%hours%).AddMinutes(%minutes%).AddSeconds(%seconds%).ToString('HH:mm:ss')"') do set endtimeclean=%%G echo %time% - %gameserver% Server started at %nowtimeclean% and will restart at %endtimeclean% :checkarma for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('powershell "(get-date %time%).ToString('yyyyMMddHHmmss')"') do set nowtime=%%G REM ////////// TIMER CHECK /////////// if "%nowtime%" gtr "%endtime%" ( echo %time% - It is time to restart %gameserver%! echo. echo. goto restartarma ) REM ////////// END TIMER CHECK /////////// REM ////////// PROCESS CHECK /////////// tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq arma3server.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "arma3server.exe">NUL if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" ( echo %time% - The process is not running, restart %gameserver%! echo. echo. goto restartarma ) REM ////////// END PROCESS CHECK /////////// REM restart not needed.

From what I can tell, BE port is now +4 from the game port if you are running multiple servers or running on a non-default port. Example: game port = 2322 / BE port = 2326

So is the new BE port +4 from the game port? game port = 2324 / BE port = 2326?

Can you explain how you got this to work? We are doing something similar and are having the same problems you were.

Is this something we should take a stab at or would we possibly see "command AI" functionality in a later update?

@aussie battler Yep, that's the one Having them board your vehicle would be great to transport them with you from mission to mission or to your base where you can have them disembark and then follow you to a location where you can have them stay put and guard your base.

I haven't tried this yet but it looks great. I will throw it on our dev server. A great feature, if it's not already in, is to scroll action on the AI and tell them to get into a vehicle. Fums had a mission that had you tell hostages to get into your vehicle. You could also tell them to follow you or stay put. Those would also make this great.

Having a write-up on how to get it to work with ExAD would be great especially since the required xm8apps script by shix doesn't even exist anymore. Edit: never mind, I see the git for the xm8 security isn't even online anymore. Disregard.

Can someone tell me how to add permanent non-Exile map markers to the map so everyone can see them and not remove them? We have custom structures and locations that need to have a marker so players know they exist.

Maybe a toast message saying their items were canceled due to non-payment. Is there any way to make subtraction of poptabs happen the moment they place the order? Then there won't be any confusion as to why an airdrop blew up. Also, some players may want a more difficult server where there is a risk of drops being shot down along the way and losing their pop tabs. Also, how would we add an announcement to broadcast to all "A player has requested a supply drop to their location" in a toast message / system chat?

Dear Eichi, Would it be possible to increase our monthly sending limit on our 3 Exile servers? But first, we need to see if you can help us update the IP address of said 3 servers, in the admin console, since we had a catastrophic hardware failure at our data center and had to be moved to a new machine which means new IPs. If we could get this squared away, we'd be so happy Thanks, Damien

We had a hardware failure and had to move our 3 servers to a new machine which means a new IP address. Has anyone successfully updated their XM8 admin console to work with IP changes? We have many users linked and do not want to force everyone to reconfigure their XM8 app. Please advise.

@BetterDeadThanZed Have you had any luck with this or has the idea been abandoned?

Gotcha, sound simple enough. Thanks for the help!

When I create them in the editor, Exile 3den plugin and then export, it ignores anything that is not Exile related. How would I export the markers so I can place them in my mission.sqm? I will go have another stab at it. A walkthrough would be ideal if there isn't a way to export it from the editor.

This stopped working for us as well

I got it sorted out with an override. ExileServer_object_construction_database_load.sqf FIND else { _constructionObject enableSimulationGlobal false; }; ADD AFTER if (typeOf _constructionObject in ["Land_HBarrierTower_F", "Land_CarService_F", "Land_FuelStation_Build_F", "Land_GH_House_2_F", "Land_Kiosk_gyros_F", "Land_Kiosk_redburger_F", "Land_i_Shop_01_V1_F", "Land_City_Gate_F", "Land_Cargo_House_V3_F", "Land_Cargo_Tower_V1_No1_F", "Land_Cargo_Tower_V1_No2_F", "Land_Cargo_Tower_V1_No3_F", "Land_i_Barracks_V1_F", "Land_Cargo_House_V1_F", "Land_Dome_Small_F", "Land_Medevac_house_V1_F", "Land_Cargo_HQ_V1_F", "Land_i_Shed_Ind_F", "Land_City_Gate_F", "Land_BarGate_F", "Land_BagBunker_Tower_F", "Land_Cargo_Tower_V2_F", "Land_Cargo_House_V2_F", "Land_CncShelter_F", "Land_i_Garage_V2_F", "Land_GH_Platform_F", "Land_Dome_Big_F", "Land_spp_Tower_F", "Land_Airport_Tower_F", "Land_i_Barracks_V1_F", "Land_TTowerSmall_1_F", "Land_nav_pier_m_F", "Land_i_House_Small_03_V1_F", "Land_i_House_Big_01_V2_F", "Land_Research_HQ_F", "Land_Research_house_V1_F"]) then { _constructionObject enableSimulationGlobal true; _constructionObject call ExileServer_system_simulationMonitor_addVehicle; };

Where is this located or where should we add this?

@ILLUXNNN After doing a lot of research, we couldn't find a way to send chat data from Exile (or Arma) directly to MySQL in game. We ended up using BEC and parsing the log files. Iterate each line, insert into the database and then remove the line.
