Goal of this Mod is to offer different save methods, yes u can use Vanilla saving and just Binar. Its for a better overview and having the option to still save it as smoll json to read the saves if needed.

so the setup is simple but first a little template of the config file to see where to add the persistence part:
`
{
    "region": "EU",
    "bindAddress": "127.0.0.1",
    "bindPort": 4444,
    "publicAddress": "127.0.0.1",
    "publicPort": 4444,
    "game": {
        "name": "ServerName",
        "password": "",
        "passwordAdmin": "example",
        "admins": [],
        "scenarioId": "{C68BD3FF887CAA28}/example",
        "visible": true,
        "maxPlayers": 50,
        "crossPlatform": true,
        "gameProperties": {
            "missionHeader": {
                "aiPlayerCount": 100,
                "aiDifficulty": "noob",
                "restartDelay": 20,
                "m_sName": "ScenarioName",
                "m_sDetails": "BSP"
            },
                        "persistence": {
                "autoSaveInterval": 1,
                "hiveId": 1001,
                "databases": {
                    "main": {
                        "preset": "{68E1601E02CFCF00}Configs/Systems/Persistence/Database/JsonSaveGamePretty.conf"
                    }
                },
                "storages": {
                    "session": {
                        "database": "main"
                    }
                }
            },
            "serverMaxViewDistance": 1500,
            "networkViewDistance": 500,
            "disableThirdPerson": false,
            "fastValidation": true,
            "battlEye": false
        },
        "mods": []
    },
    "operating": {
        "lobbyPlayerSynchronise": true,
        "joinQueue": {
            "maxSize": 12
        },
        "aiLimit": 2000
    }
}`

Now to the 3 types of saving
1 PersistenceJsonSaveGame:
simple save as json oneliner(saves some space but can still be viewed and read)
2 JsonSaveGamePretty:
Default Save, Human readable but storage intense(If u get near 16MB u shouldnt use it since arma wont save if the save file goes over 16MB)
3 PersistenceBinSaveGame:
If u want Fast and small, this is the guy u want the one and only SaveAsBinary only negativ part is u cant read the save file if u even care for that:

To the Saving:
AutoSaveIntervall is time in min it saves(you can only have 999 Saves and Max 16MB Cause arma cant count past 999 or something idk)(If u have long Session use 60min, If u want many saves to not lose stuff with crashes use 10min(thats around 7days to reach 999 saves)

For Pretty Json u need:
            "persistence": {
                "autoSaveInterval": 1,
                "hiveId": 1005,
                "databases": {
                    "main": {
                        "preset": "{68E1601E02CFCF00}Configs/Systems/Persistence/Database/JsonSaveGamePretty.conf"
                    }
                },
                "storages": {
                    "session": {
                        "database": "main"
                    }
                }
            },

For oneliner Json u need:
"persistence": {
                "autoSaveInterval": 1,
                "hiveId": 1001,
                "databases": {
                    "main": {
                        "preset": "{68E1601E02CFCF00}Configs/Systems/Persistence/Database/PersistenceJsonSaveGame.conf"
                    }
                },
                "storages": {
                    "session": {
                        "database": "main"
                    }
                }
            },

For Recomended Binary u need:
            "persistence": {
                "autoSaveInterval": 1,
                "hiveId": 1001,
                "databases": {
                    "main": {
                        "preset": "{68E1601E02CFCF00}Configs/Systems/Persistence/Database/PersistenceBinSaveGame.conf"
                    }
                },
                "storages": {
                    "session": {
                        "database": "main"
                    }
                }
            },

or u take just from Basegame the save and dont download my mod:
"persistence": {
                "autoSaveInterval": 45,
                "hiveId": 1001,
                "databases": {
                    "main": {
                        "preset": "{A79D2893C8F8F4A9}Configs/Systems/Persistence/Database/BinSaveGame.conf"
                    }
                },
                "storages": {
                    "session": {
                        "database": "main"
                    }
                }
            },
