Multi-Session Operations v4.4 released

[MavericK96]

Okay, I'm trying to set up the Persistent DB thing on my dedicated server, having NO knowledge of MySQL at all, following the instructions found here:

https://dev-heaven.net/projects/mso/wiki/Wiki

I got to here:

9. Import MSO db using MySQL Workbench (get MSO[date].sql from mission folder or GIT)

However, I can't find this file anywhere. Help? :x

Okay, figured that out. Now I am stuck here:

Copy Databases.txt (from Arma2netMysql folder) to ARMA2 folder, open the file, delete the #, change username to arma and change password (last two entries on line)

Can't find a Databases.txt file anywhere.

Can't wait to test this

UnitedOperations ran 38 player MSO for 3hrs this morning, with the server still running at around 18 FPS at the end of it all.

This is a landmark acheivement for the MSO team and we are very grateful to Singleton and UO for supporting us to make it happen.

In addition to the 10 day run of beta v4.4 MSO a couple of weeks back (http://arma2.swec.se/game/data/5064087), this is looking like a stable release.

Okay, I *think* I got PersistentDB set up. Couple of questions:

1) How do you know it's working? I tried using it and after a server restart it asked me if I wanted to teleport back to my previous location, and it put me back where I was with roughly the same gear. So I guess it's working...? However, tasks were not saved, so I ended up out in the middle of nowhere with no vehicle and no enemy camp to attack, lol.

2) Which leads me to my next question: How do you reset the DB? Like if you want to start fresh.

And we ran one for 3 days at a avarage of 20fps (http://arma2.swec.se/game/data/5141088) and taking over 50% of taki before the server was reset due to idiots destroying vehicles and CBA needing updating.

That's awesome news! I'll drop in on TS at some point and see if you guys are having a game.

If you saw the Persistance DB logo image and got the restore last location, that appears to be working... I dont think the tasks are yet logged in the DB though...

My experience is to either go into the database and delete the entries stored for the particular map (MID) in each table or just delete the schema and re-import the blank one that was originally started with. There are obviously many ways to do things but these would probably be the quickest. Glad to hear you got it running...

Hope this helped.

Easiest way is to rename the .pbo so it is registered as a new mission in the database.
So if you have a mission.takistan.pbo - rename it to mission1.takistan.pbo, the name in mission.sqm doesnt needs to be changed.

Enjoy

PS: yeah, the rmm_enemypop locations ar not yet stored to DB (CQB_Pop locations are already in), will be in next releash

Is there a (public) "test" server with PDB active? Cheers!

We run PDB MSO missions on our server atm. Feel free to drop in and try it out.

I am trying to figure this out as well but I (unlike Maverick96) have not figured it out:

1. I don't see a sql file in the mission folder to import?
2. Where is this Databases.txt file? Is it created somehow?
3. By using the MySQL Database what impact does that have on the performance of the mission?

Thanks
