Dedicated Server "Shuffle" Mode in WebGUI


Recommended Posts

I have recently modified my VM running a dedicated server with two instances to: 

1. Restart the server every 8 hours, utilizing windows task scheduler to kill DCS and a restart batch file to turn the server back on

2. Added server restart warnings in the missions themselves

This is all working fine, however, when the server restarts, the same mission from the mission list loads every time. I know you can manually run a different mission or allow folks to change missions via slmod, but this then negates the 30 min, 15 min, 5 min warnings in the missions themselves. 

Does anyone know how to get DCS to load a mission at random, out of the mission list, when the server boots up?

I did a completely different approach:
I include a trigger inside every mission: once mission time in seconds is greater than 28800 (8 hours) -> event: end the mission + message to all.
Tada, you have a regular mission end and your dedicated server will shuffle to another mission of the list as intended.
Edit:
to have the shuffel work already on dedicated startup would be neat, tho.
