*Not sure if this is the right thread but here goes* I saw an earlier thread with advice on how to adjust the server difficulty settings but it looks like it's a dead thread. I looked in the server profile and the setting aren't there. I saw a bit of scripting to add in somewhere creating a custom difficulty setting but I don't know where to put that. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey everybody. I installed EBM and I'm having some issues. I went through the installation on the readme and it's ALMOST working. It starts up with the server fine. I can see the items in the infistar spawn list, they show up in the trader with pricing info. I can spawn them on myself, I can put the kit down on the ground and it appears. But when I try to actually construct anything, it doesn't work. The construction menu appears on the right side of the screen (like raise, lower, rotate, that info), but no green/yellow colored indication of it is visible. Hitting space wont do anything. I'm tried moving it around (pageup/pgdwn) thinking maybe it was under the ground at first or something. Nothing. Did I miss a step? Do I have to do something else with infistar? Any help would be great

This cant go wrong...

Hey everyone. I have infistar running on my server and I'm using the auto restart. The problem is It keeps locking the server and won't unlock it. I went into the config file and made sure the "lock on restart" option was set to "false". So I don't understand why it's still locking. Did I miss something maybe? A setting somewhere else I don't know about?

It was a constant thing. I know there's a setting to temporary lock the server on restart but that setting was turned off and it would stay locked for hours. Its not an issue now though

Hello, I just found out that running a LINUX server apparently requires some slightly different installations for mods (It's a rented server, not one I started from scratch). I'm trying to get a status bar and CUP weapons/vehicles working but I don't want to break the server with a bad mod install / implementation. If there's anyone with experience who wouldn't mind helping a server / LINUX noob out I would greatly appreciate it! I've already gone in and tweaked the a3_DMS, exileZ and map pbo files so I have a basic grasp of how things work, but I'm by no means comfortable adding more stuff to it.

I'll double check tonight but I don't think changing the square radar fixed it for me

I did that with no effect. Is there an official patch in the works?

any ETA on that GPS UI patch? Cause the side panels not showing up is a real SOB.

Where is that thread? I can't seem to find it *NEVERMIND* Found it...

Hey, For some reason the side panels on my server aren't working anymore (like the GPS screen and whatnot). Any ideas on what might have caused this? They were working last time I was on. I even tried resetting keybindings to default and it didn't fix it.

A sacrifice must be made

Ok, so I did a bunch of reading and I think I may be a victim of old info. I downloaded advanced towing and in the install directions it said I could just drop the advancedtowing.pbo directly into my @exileserver/addons folder. I did that, and added the keys info into my keys folder. tried to start my server and I got this Cannot open file '/home/gsp_37/158.69.251.197-2302/@ExileServer\addons\sa_advancedtowing' Any ideas what might cause this?

I just use advanced towing and regular chopper loading on my server and it will still occasionally acts funky when you're going over 100km. I've done some testing and it seems to be a lag issue. Like the heli and vehicle get out of sync like you dragged it into a tower and "snapped" the lines. It happens most when I zoom in with RMB. I've zoomed in and then back out real quick and watched the vehicle rubber band back a little bit and then snap back under the heli. I've also seen it happen on other servers with no towing/sling loading mods when you went into a new area (while the place name and time show up in the top left of the screen). So my best guess is you're experiencing a heli/vehicle sync issue caused by connection lag. I'd suggest finding a server with a better connection. That's the best fix I've found aside from just slowing down.

I always just use the arma dashboard to set up mods and join servers. I only use A3launcher to update exile. The arma dashboard will let you select servers, tell you what mods you need and set up/install them for you.

not sure if this would be what you wanted but couldn't you add something like empty water bottles and tin cans to every building type in the loot settings (I don't think every building can spawn those. not sure) and just increase it's percentage of drop really high so it lowers the overall chance of anything else spawning? you'd have to tweak the other loot spawn percentages to be lower (so a lot of tedious effort). That would even play into the apocalyptic feel of the game. Trash left behind by previous survivors.

I like he ambiance they provide. Trash left behind by previous survivors and whatnot. Though I did tweak the loot chances in my server so they're available but far less likely to spawn. Also tweaked the 4 toilet paper = 1 bandage to 2 toilet paper = 1 bandage. It made more sense since you can wrap a good surface area with one roll of TP.

...nailed it

That was actually my dead body after pushing it out of a vehicle lol.

Nice, thanks. I'm hoping to be able to make impromptu missions while in game. Does the debug console also allow you to place buildings?

Hey, I bought and installed infistar last night. Need to test it further but that's not the main issue. When I logged in after restarting hte server my status bar no longer works. It gives me a "cannot start statusbar" message. Any ideas?

Hey everyone. I've got someone on my server that's having issues building on their territory. at first they put their flag on the very top of a military tower (the big ones) and they got the "cannot build on enemy territory" error. So I removed the flag and they put it on the ground (on a dock technically). they placed a work bench, everything looked good. But as soon as they built a wall it went back to "cannot build on enemy territory" again. Any ideas? I saw an earlier topic about it but there was no answers on it.

I downloaded and installed it as instructed and I can't place any of the items. There's not even a colored place holder for it in the construction view. Any help would be great

*UPDATE* They moved their base to being on land and everything started working.

is there a way to drop/spawn new ai units with infistar?
