Ok, so as a dad to a 9 month old my ability to go for deep long multiplayer sessions is just straight up none. I do however get play time, as I live in Socialist Sweden and I'm at home with my little girl for the next ten months.

I have a pretty nice mission going that I've been more or less playing since Alive was released (entire Altis type deal, random starting position and auto-generated tasks). Thing is, every session is a start from the beginning and every once in a while I look at how ALiVE is supposed to be played, and I think it's not for me, since I only play with I mean by myself, and not on a server.

But is that the best I can do?

Don't get me wrong, it's been what... Years now, and it hassent gotten me bored yet. But blowing up insurgent training facilities, and clearing IEDs only to have it all reset the next restart is making me feel like it's all for... well, i won't say nothing. But you know...

Anyway, what I want to know is if this is the best way to go about it, or have I just not looked at every option?

Cheers!

Oh, really?

This looks cool and intimidating. If I were to try this and fail, would you take me under your wing and guide me to glory?

You could also try the solution S.Crowe cooked up. Found here -> . It should work well for SP games.
NOTE: Untested by me, I let him handle that during our games.

So, I got to where I found the server in the list and can try to join it, there's no info about the server, and on the server window it keeps spamming "22:30:33 Mission Operation Landlord | ALiVE read from bank."

Edit: Solved it! I hadn't enabled addons.

So, now I'm stuck on trying to save to see if the whole War Room thing works. In the wiki it says "open chat and type login yourpassword defined in TADST", but I don't understand where that is defined.

Thanks! Now I've logged in and server save and exit looks like it's saving and exiting, and it says data saved, but nothing shows up in the war room. How does my local stuff know what to communicate to ALiVE?

I feel like I've missed something.

Also, in my profile it says "You're profile is not linked to your Game Data", does that have anything to do with it? When I click connect, the site says "Sorry."

Edit: I hadn't downloaded the alive.cfg. Trying that now!

Edit2: I feel like I get stuck on every step. Sorry for taking your time.

Hi @Easy, have you got it working alright now?

I just tried saving again, and it did look a little different with all the data flashing by, and it shows the mission name in most recent operations, so I guess it works?! :D

It still says NaN hours played, but I was only in game for a couple of minutes, so maybe I have to be in it for longer and actually do something other than fire one shot and get in a helicopter?

Also, this was on Op Landlord, the demo mission. Just to check communication. When I run my own mission and want to go back and continue the fight, how do I load the stuff up again?

Roger, thanks.

I think I have at least some parts set up correctly, becaus I can get into and play the mission fine.

I think I effed something up with persistance though, because it saves mission time, but player location (and T.R.A.C.E colors) seem to reset every start.

I placed the Player Data module and made sure everything is on "yes". Is there something obvious I've missed again?

That gave me an error message.

Should player persistance (position) work on Spyders Insurgency (Altis) mission? Because I can't get it to fly, so I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong on some other end.
