Server restart the mission by API function


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

 

Given a mission loaded on a server, let's say "testmission.miz", I need to get this after "n" hour of execution:

 

  • Step 1 - a custom mod edit "testmission.miz", change things and save as "testmission_edited.miz"
  • Step 2 - server stops by custom hooks code;
  • Step 3 - custom hooks code delete testmission.miz and rename testmission_edited.miz in testmission.miz
  • Step 4 - custom hooks code load again "testmission.miz" (which has been edited)

 

Well, DAWS provide step 1, other step are ok if:

1) I don't stop the server

2) I don't try to delete/overwrite/rename "testmission.miz" (cause it's used by DCS).

 

If I stop the server, any reload thing makes DCS crash

 

 

Do you know a way to perform those steps without external program, using DCS SSE & API lua code?

 

thanks, it's important for future persistent server mod developement.

The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
