respawn = "BASE"; // Marker needed with name respawn_west
respawnDelay = 1; // restart delay in seconds

2. depending on your server, upload it with a FTP client to your mpmissions folder

3. go to your Arma folder and create a file named server.cfg

   // MISSIONS CYCLE
   class Missions {
       class name of the first mission{
   	template = mission;
   	difficulty = difficulty
       };
       class name of second mission{
   	template = mission;
   	difficulty = "difficulty"
       };
   };
   

   1. for each additional mission put square brackets again
