Hmz something seems messed up with that download. I'll upload it again tomorrow.

Basicly that file keeps coming back in the root of your server? If so I'd take it up with your hoster mate.. That isnt normal. The dayzmod shouldnt write data in the root. Plus if it reads that banfile it should be mentioned (probably) in a server.cfg filesomewhere.

This might help youas well.. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/120666-dayz-server-administration-guide/

That does suck tbh. Understanable when its ran by volunteers. Just makes me wonder what the point is in renting a public DayZ server atm. We're (UK498) still having issues as well.. Basicly from the point we started renting our server untill now. I've send an email to Matt Lightfoot regarding our issues, but Im not keeping my hopes up. Hope the (serverside) support is alot better for the standalone.. :-(

I've just tried this, unfortunately on our server this doesnt seem to do the trick. :( Thanks for sharing though! Might work for other servers with the same issue.

You can't do that on a public server, only on a private hive. We don't have a private hive, but I think you need to tinker with the mission files or something...

Used the same silentspy link to generate a new mision file. This gave us 2 vehicles, but the rest is still gone... Havent been able to try reloading heli guns yet :) :)

Small update on our situation (UK498). All the tents are still there and apparently the newly added Humvee and the new H6J helicopter spawned, but all the other 'old' vehicles are still missing. We checked the logs and we checked ingame and verified the 2 new vehicles are there and they are... Any ideas why the old vehicles disappeared and arent spawning anymore?

I've always used PC's (and the like -> ZX spectrum/msx/commodore)... Gamer from day 1... Though I have to admit, some games are somewhat better suited for a console.. I prefer playing Gran Turismo and Pro EVO soccer on the playstation, but mostly cause I can sit my ass down on a comfy chair in front of the tv... Consoles are imo better suited to play games with more then yourself.. Shooters on consoles (CoD and the likes) are a pile of shite... Nothing beats a keyboard/mouse combo in a fps game!

Our server has had issues with vehicle spawning from the hive since we started using it... at some point we had vehicles (not completely sure what changed hive side), but each restart most (not all) vehicles just disappeared from their last position and respawned somewhere else on the map. After the 1.7.5.1 patch there aren't any vehicles at all.. Been checking the hive.rpt file (and hivext.log) every day since we've installed this new patch. Is this an issue with the main hive or are we missing something?! We update through a 1.7.5.1 complete .rar file (included all the folders @hive, etc.). Are we missing something? Ps. no issues with tents disappearing or not saving whatsoever..

As far as I know (and analysed) the hacker executing the script pops up in the logs, not the player it is executed on (as the player doesnt execute anything him/herself)

Np ;) any remarks on this guide are appriciated ;)

Can we send this somewhere if necessary? Or just upload it somewhere with a direct link...?

Havent had any issues after updating our server yesterday (with the installation itself or connecting to the server). We're just missing our vehicles atm (again) and 1 or 2 of our members had the #44 error. Not sure how they fixed it, but I think they went on a different server and connected back to ours...

Ive posted the link to this page in the Server administration sticky as well here --> http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/55657-start-here-a-beginners-guide-to-dayz-servers-and-administration/page__st__80

Ow I forgot to mention the damage hackers can do (and are doing) by ddos-ing servers from rental companies. Agreed they arent personal pc's from 'real' people, but they still have downtime thus still lose money/customers. If some1 stole my car and I was 100% sure (to keep your own example) I'd go to their houses and rebuilt their face. I'd love to do the same with hackers, but quite frankly I don't have the time to do so.... maybe when I win the lottery some day... and no I don't need therapy... just can't stand hackers... :)

Should be able to see any zombie teleporting in the logs...

If you cant find your name on the cbl how do you know you're on it in the first place?

Ours is UK based... UK498... I won't say it's hacker free cause that would make me a liar... I can only guarantee they're banned very quick :)

Hackers cant ban you unless they have rcon access. Something automated sounds more likely.. Whats the full ban message you get?

Hehe running client scripts on somebodies server isnt exactly legal either mate ;) That's what some hackers do ;)

In reply to the first post of OP .... Anyone in the need of a guide on how to find hackers and stuff (general log analyses), visit this topic --> http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/120666-dayz-server-administration-guide/

Although I do agree on abusing the hackers, you can never be sure who more you disadvantage by putting their IP public. I think all of us admins are eagerly awaiting the SA... yes, there will still be hackers, but Im pretty sure there will be 99% less of them :)
