Install Server

ADD "a3_n8m4re_persistence.bpo" TO "@epochhive/addons"

Install Client Mission

ADD "N8M4RE_Persistence_Client.sqf" TO "mpmissions/epoch.mapname", if you have there a *.pbo instead of a folder, please google for "how to extract .pbo", pbo is an archive like "zip" you need a tool for that.

open the "init.sqf" inside of the "mpmissions/epoch.mapname" folder, if not exist then create an new file with an editor like "notepad++" and name it to "init.sqf"

example for the "init.sqf"

// stop server loading the client script
// tutorial: http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-basic-multiplayer-coding-summary/  
if (isDedicated) exitWith {}; 

// compile the script on mission load
// https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/compileFinal
N8M4RE_Persistence_Client=compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "N8M4RE_Persistence_Client.sqf";

// wait client is ready 
// https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/waitUntil
// https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/isPlayer
// https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/alive
waitUntil{(isPlayer player) && (alive player) && !isNil "EPOCH_loadingScreenDone"};

// Starts running the script
// https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/spawn
[] spawn N8M4RE_Persistence_Client;

PersistenceHolder = true; 				// enable/disable storing of groundholder items
PersistenceHolderCanExpire = true; 		// enable/disable expiring of holders
PersistenceHolderExpires = "172800"; 	// 1day=86400, 2days=172800, 4days=345600, 8days=691200 
PersistenceHolderLimit = 1500; 			// max groundholder can stored (a groundholder can hold more than one item)

PersistenceDayTime = true;				// enable/disable storing of server daytime (StaticDateTime only)

• This addon contains some bit of code lines from the Epoch server.pbo. (like the magazine/ammo count )
• So also Credits to the Epochmod-Team.
