EPOCH ARMA 3 SERVERS MOD
Now your mod is up-to-date on the client side.
EPOCH ARMA 3 SERVERS UPDATE
Otherwise, you will need to update manually. If you are using a program like A3Launcher or Arma3Sync, the update should be applied through these. In the event that the client also received an update, you will need to update your game locally as well. The server should then start with all previous progress retained. Delete the "dump.rdb" file that is here, and then upload the database we saved back in step one to the server. To do this, make sure the server is stopped, then access your server via FTP, and open the "arma/DB" directory. Now that the server is updated, we can import the old database. Now that all of the data has been updated, all previous data, addons, missions, and scripts can be reuploaded to the server. It is also worth taking a look at the "Announcements" section of the Official ArmA 3 Epoch forum. The important files that should definitely stay on the server are: The latest server files can be found on the official website here. In most circumstances, an update is only a couple files.
EPOCH ARMA 3 SERVERS INSTALL
This will install ArmA 3 again, and include the most recent version of Epoch. This can be done on the web interface of your game server under " Switch Game", and choose " Reinstall". Now that all of your data is backed up, a new installation can be initiated. Be aware that this will not be included in the daily backups our system makes. This ensures that the folder, which contains the old ArmA 3 Epoch installation, is preserved through a new installation. This can be done via FTP, but can also be done through the File browser on the web interface (under Tools). The easiest way would be to just rename the main installation folder. It should be noted that the update you apply could break the database, and you would need to start your progress over, even if you have it backed up.Īfter you have saved your database, you should now backup your installed add-ons, scripts, and other file-based changes. Now you have backed up your database (we can upload it later if we need to). The database is in the form of dump.rdb, and should be downloaded. To do this, an FTP connection to your server is required. To ensure none of this is lost in the update, it should be backed up as the first step. The database system, Redis, used by Epoch contains the progress of players, positions of AI on the map, logs, and much more.
