Been a bandit for quite some time now, I play solo a lot but also with two other dudes who are also full on bandit, we'd be more than happy to murderise people on your server ;)

First of all I apologies for any snide remarks I made, I'm just getting frustrated at the seemingly impossible (yet apparently so simple) task of adding a whitelist to my server, but you were talking about player locations, spawn points, banned weapons, what weapons are in players inventories, additional server scripts etc etc, I'm sorry but that doesn't help me install a whitelist, which is what this topic is asking, HOW to install a whitelist, nothing else. and I have read the instructions 20 times over, and there are some steps I have issues with: 1. Create a new database on your MySQL server called whitelist - Cant do this as I get an error message as stated above, contacted support, nothing yet, google yields no results. 4. Save the file and run the SQL against your database - run the file AGAINST my database? what does that even mean? again, google yields no results. Also where do I put the files? how do I get them on the database? nothing seems to be answering my questions. Bare in mind the above problems are for one whitelist tutorial, I have tried many others with no success. And my server is a private hive, not a public hive which I am fully aware you can't whitelist or password protect.

I'm not even going to attempt adding any vehicles or modifying spawn tables yet, all I want is a whitelist on my server to allow trusted players on without adding a password, not sure how reading code and instructions (where ever they are) will help me install a whitelist seeing as the actual whitelist instructions don't actually explain HOW to install it.

HOW do I add a whitelist to my server? don't bother posting links to tutorials because ALL of them seem to be aimed at people who already know how to use MySQL, I have ZERO knowledge on MySQL and all I'm trying to do is add a whitelist to my server, I must of tried about 12 different tutorials all of which have failed because either the instructions leave me scratching my head because they seem to be written in a different language, or because I get bombarded with error messages! I contacted dayz.st and they responded with a link on a tutorial: http://sponsored.day...le=Whitelisting Now correct me if I'm wrong (PLEASE SOMEONE CORRECT ME!) but the very first step says create a new database called whitelist, so that is exactly what I attempt to do with no success, I click on the 'Databases' tab and there is a little box called 'create database' so logically I assume this is where I have to create the database, but when I try to create a new database called whitelist I receive an error message: #1044 - Access denied for user 'bliss_696'@'%' to database 'whitelist' Can someone PLEASE help me with this issue, every tutorial (and there isn't many) on the net just give very vague and short instructions. Create a new database, HOW do I create a new database? Run the file against your database, HOW do I run the file against my database? Install the .exe on your database and run it, HOW do I install in on my database? Like I said none of these tutorials are any good to me as I have never used MySQL once in my life, call me a noob, because that is exactly what I am, I'm just a noob that wants a whitelist on my server. Somebody PLEASE help me! The only way I can currently whitelist my server is by running Gotcha 24/7 which is NOT an option.

Bump

Been with dayz.st just over a month now, never had any issues like this before, apart from crazy amounts of hackers in the last few days.

The host is DayZ.st, and I don't have access to the desktop of the server, only to the database. This is what I mean, I have no idea where to put those files in the database, or how to, doesn't give any explanation to that part.

-on nix install php5 with sockets and mb_string extantions I literally have no idea what that means, when I said complete noob I meant it haha. and where on the server do I install those files, and how? and it doesn't appear to be server side if I have to run the .bat on my machine...

Quick google search is not what I'm after, that link explains nothing to me, I need a tutorial, or someone to explain it.

I've been running my server for about a month now and it was all going fine until the hackers started to join and destroy everything on a daily basis. I want to add a white list to the server but the only way I can do it is with Gotcha, and that needs to be running 24/7 for it to work which is simply not an option for me as I can't keep my computer on all day every day (damn these high energy bills!). I've read in a few places you can have a white list running on the actual server, something to do with the SQL database, but as I'm a complete noob with that sort of thing, and there is not a single tutorial on how to set up a white list on the entire internet for some bizarre reason, despite the rage against hackers. Can someone give me a few tips or instructions on how to set one up? someone on these forums must know! Any help will be greatly appreciated! thanks.

Glass DOES reflect light but not as much as a mirror, you can see your reflections in glass, but it doesn't reflect all the light, only some passes through.

If I do that I can play it for one more day, and a day earlier, therefore I am only eager to play the update, and not a freak as you somehow believe.

Where's my phone, I need to call in sick for work.

True, but it is a tad concerning when military grade weaponry is more common than beans.
