Petunia-Server

Ahhh no - didn't notice that :P When the servcers are back up, I will check :D Hopefully that wont be tooo long!

I realise you will be crazy-busy, so just a quick, single question... Your offsite backups, how recent are they? Thanks :)

Hi, quick question... I don't see the player trails on the Chernarus map... Should they be there, or? Thanks in advance :D

Hi Ersan, Quick question... In the database I see something that's a bit new to me? v_deployable v_player v_vehicle Any ideas on what these are for? - I am wondering how it effects changing stuff on the server etc :)

Petunia is all well and working - Ersan - thanks for all your hard work, and congrats on getting it sorted :) You have my beans!

Agree with that statement MTUCKER0, Ersan gives a great service... altho as it's been 2hrs since going offline, maybe it would be best to roll-back the update on all but a couple of test servers - at least until the issues are fixed? Dunno, just a thought, but maybe with the bliss hive update as well, that would be more complicated than it sounds?

Nope... I have Cernarus, and am still stuck on loading :( Did you test connect to any of the servers before saying they should all be running now? Is it just on some of the servers? Ersan, I hope you guys have plenty of coffee - sounds pretty stressful for you at the moment :P Good luck sorting it all! Thanks :)

Ersan? the update happened then there have been 50mins of 'server down' messages without a reply :P That's not like you guys! Could you at least post to say you are aware of the issue and are working on it? - Come on, reply and say your working on it ... we all know you guys are great :) Hoping all is okay :)

It appears so :P Doh! I was in the middle of a great game too with a couple of friends!

Ours just keeps getting stuck on loading :( ... I must say, I am seriously NOT a fan of forced updates to the latest dayz version so soon after it releases. No offence to anyone, but the latest update on alpha is prob the least stable, (as to be expected) lol That said, Ersan gives excellent support, so I'm sure he will get it all sorted :)

Now updated client to 1.7.4.4 (full) and stuck on loading :( Anyone know what the 1.7.4.4 (patch) is all about?

Mine is stuck on loading for everyone... but I have a feeling I may have rebooting during the update :( Not sure if that's even possibly though, surely not!

Hi Ersan, Now sure if something went wrong, bu tthe server went down for update, seemed to lock up, so I rebooted, now everyone appears to be getting stuck at loading screen :P ANy ideas?

Hi Ersan :) Erm, do you mean 1.7.4.3? Is there a 1.7.4.4? I'm a bit concerned that I might not have the right version :P Thanks!

The server had an hour or so downtime as there was an issue at the datacentre (Sorry, datacenter if you are in the US, I guess!)... now back online! Sorry about that folks! All is well again now though, so welcome back guys n gals!

JUST saw your Tweet :D Thanks for the update - and well done for jumping on the issue so quick! :D

Looks like our server has been effected... JUST spent ages sorting the database, adding vehicles, bases & buildings, advertised the server on here for the first time... 2hrs later, it's down :( Any ideas when it will be back up? please tell me we won't be rolled back to a previous database :P... Please! (I know, I should take backups via phpmyadmin too! I understand it's likely beyond your control, but any eta on an update? Thanks! EDIT: Ersan, It seems I can access phpmyadmin, as well as your map tool... not sure if that info helps! Cheers, Mike.

Perfect! Exactly what I needed to know :P Thanks for your help, and have some beans! #

Hey Ersan, another quick question for you :) Re: the custom loadout, I notice that I can't change the starting backpack, no problems, but do you know where I can edit that in the database? I am not sure what table to edit :P Thanks in advance!

Ersan - as ever, you have been a great help! Thanks for the schema [rotation, [x, y, z]] - That is all I need as I can now just tweak the variables and figure it all out :D THANKS!!!

Not sure if you can help with this, but I made walls using the 3d editor, and then swapped the coordinates around, like: [2529.8201, 13045.514], [], 0, to dayz format, like: [0,[2529.8201,13045.514,0]] Which works for buildings, etc... However; When placing walls I hit a problem :( When I convert them like: [2544.9448, 13043.856, 3.0517578e-005], [], 0,] to [0, [2544.9448, 13043.856, 3.0517578e-005,0]] and the walls don't appear :( So, I removed the , 3.0517578e-005 bit as it seemed 'extra', leaving '[0, [2544.9448, 13043.856,0]]' and they DO then appear, but all pointing in one direction (like north to south, or east to west, or whatever), instead of as I placed them (joined up, obviously!) :P Urgh, I made that sound more complicated than I had to, but basically I suspect that the above code breaks down to: [0, [x-coord, y-coord, Something-else-like-orientation,0]] Unfortunately if I don't include 'Something-else', then they walls are all aligned wrong, whereas if I do, then the walls just are NOT there! Could the 'Something else' (, 3.0517578e-0 in this instance) go elsewhere in the brackets? Like, say in place of the 0 at the start or end? Thanks in advance! Ps. If this is all a little too much, feel free to ignore my PM!!!

Ah! That explains why my database is gone :PO I just panicked and restored a backup. No worries, you have my patience, hope it is sorted soon :) Good luck!

I kinda figured out how to get my big static gun working, but still, the guide would be AMAZING :)

That would be VERY much appreciated! you can have my canobeans when its done! Please PM me the link if its not too much bother, and I will think/like/give beans or whatever to your thread :) Especially of interest to me, is what I add as a building, what as a vehicle etc... BECAUSE... I can add the static gun I mentioned above, but it kills me whenever I try to 'giot in' it :( Doh! I can use it on the 3d map, but when I add as a vehicle via phpmyadmin - as soon as I try to use it (options on scroll are get in as driver - ride at back, which is ODD!) - Well, I die straight away :( Grrrr

Does anyone know what static weapons like the ZU23_CDF (http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class151656165165341654165165165165f/A2/Weapons/static/#document) should be added as? Vehicle & instnce vehicle, OR deployable & instance deployable? I am just confused at to what to use vehicle for, and what to use deployable for :P Thanks!
