'CA' folder in mission??

[Darth_Rogue]

What's it for?  Is it needed?  The referenced init file buried within the folder is not loaded or called from anywhere that I can see.  I looked at the change log for the past couple versions and didn't see anything that explained about what it is or does, and a forum search yielded no relevant results either.

From what i can tell it is called from with in the server_functions.sqf file

BIS_MPF_remoteExecutionServer = {
	if ((_this select 1) select 2 == "JIPrequest") then {
		[nil,(_this select 1) select 0,"loc",rJIPEXEC,[any,any,"per","execVM","ca\Modules\Functions\init.sqf"]] call RE;
	};
};

Don't think that's the one. That's being called from a folder in the server pbo. The one I'm talking about is in the mission pbo which calls to a file inside dayz_code.pbo.

[Achmed]

to be called from the server pbo would it not be

\z\addons\dayz_server\ca\Modules\Functions\init.sqf

[Darth_Rogue]

Possibly.  I was thinking that since the path was not specific that it would be calling the file from within its own PBO instead of referencing the mission file.  But then again, since the mission file does not have a prefix in the Epoch mod by default then that would make sense.

 

In any case, I'd still like to know what it does and why it was recently moved to the mission file within the last couple versions, just because I'm a curious geek like that.  ;)

From what i can tell it's something that makes the arma 2 free version handle things like the full arma 2 does.

[Darth_Rogue]

I see. Didn't know there was a free version out there. That makes sense as to why it's in the mission file then. Thanks!

[Achmed]

I knew there was one but disnt know it would work with dayz.

So, we are having errors up the wazzoo related to this folder and Panthera.. and most of the "fixes" has been "delete the ca folder from your mission file". In fact, that has been the "fix" suggested in this thread of my own as well as others: 

 

So..... should I not have deleted it?

We have it running on all 4 of our servers with no issues.

Care to give us a hint on how?

When I say running, I mean the folder is in the mission file and the server is "running"

I gotcha, now.
