If persistent set to 0, map change when no player is connected

[Evaexe117]

Hello. I followed you'r adive. Set persistent = 0 to server cgf

But when all player leaved the server ( for the night for example ), and in the morning a new player join the server, the served has changed map.

there is any solution to keep the map "alive" when no player is connected ? the problem with persistent = 1 its avoid the server to change map when the map is finished.

hi,

I understand, I run linux servers from A2 ages, I'm glad to help you on your setup when persistent is set to 0, the server should go in 'wait' state, until a player connect. even when server restart if the map change on restart, it may come from your server cfg "class Missions"

as an example here one of mine: `// MISSIONS CYCLE class Missions { class Mission1 { template="liberation_RX.Altis"; difficulty="Regular"; // "Recruit", "Regular", "Veteran", "Mercenary"

    class Params
        {
              Unitcap = 1;                      // Maximum amount AI units - [default 1] - values = [0.5,0.75,1,1.25,1.5,2] - Text {50%,%75,%100,%125,%150,%200}
              Difficulty = 1.25;                // Difficulty - [default 1] - values = [0.5,0.75,1,1.25,1.5,2,4,10] - Text {Tourist,Easy,Normal,Moderate,Hard,Extreme,Ludicrous,Oh god oh god we are all going to die}
              Aggressivity = 2;                 // CSAT aggression - [default 1] - values = [0.25,0.5,1,2,4] - Text {Anemic,Weak,Normal,Strong,Extreme}
              MaximumFobs = 5;                  // Maximum number of FOBs allowed - [default 26] - values = [3,5,7,10,15,20,26] - Text {3,5,7,10,15,20,26}
              Whitelist = 1;                    // Use the commander whilelist - [default 0] - values = [1,0] - Text {Enabled,Disabled} 
              TK_mode = 1;
          TK_count = 4; 
    };
};

}; `

feel free to come on our Teamspeak server (ts3.liberation-rx.fr), we can speak about this

Thank you very much for help ! And invitation in teamspeak.

Can you share you'r all server.cgf and launher.sh ? I think that will be help me :)

thanks !

Thanks for all you'r informations.

I used persistent = 0; but that bug EXTDB3...

I'll code in python a script that will detect the end of the game by parsing the rpt. and that will close the server, delet the save file, and relaunch the server...
