Description

I have tried implementing a custom messages.xml config (provided in Additional information). When I have implemented this config, it results in an infinite reboot loop.

Also, are the logs (dayzps/config/DayZServer_PS4_x64.ADM) persistent, or is it a rolling log that gets reset during every restart? Is there a way to access a log store on the server? I ask because if I have the server set to automatically restart, then I currently can't access logs from before the restart in case I have to resolve an issue that occurred in-game that we would use the logs to verify.

I was able to get the following to work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<messages>

    <message>
        <deadline>360</deadline>
        <shutdown>1</shutdown>
        <text>This server (#name) will shutdown in #tmin minutes.</text>
    </message>
 

    
    <message>
        <delay>2</delay>
        <onconnect>1</onconnect>
        <text>This server (#name) will shutdown in #tmin minutes.</text>
    </message>

</messages>

However, it is not reading the #tmin variable. So it will show: "This server (!NewGroundZ RP!) will shutdown in minutes."

First, is it possible to get the message to only show 2 minutes after onconnect (as is currently the case) as well as 15 minutes before restart without the countdown?

Would this additional message tag accomplish displaying the message 15 minutes before restart if the server is set to restart after 360 minutes?

		<!-- 345 minute delay delay -->
		<delay>345</delay>
		<!-- message itself with placeholders -->
		<text>NewGroundZ will restart in #tmin minutes.</text>

</message>

And second, why is the #tmin variable not being displayed? The #name variable seems to work fine.

Here is my most recent messages.xml:
