Our apologies, our server is down at this time. Once the server is back online I will post an update. Currently we are waiting on ViLayer support. Thank you

I have watched videos of hackers getting items into the game and other players are able to pick them up. There is a video of hacked mags that do not run out of ammo, as well as hacked backpacks. Would these items fall under a separate category? Additionally, there are plenty of hacks available out there that allow people to aimbot, ESP, etc. So your telling me that with all the hacks available that this is impossible and that my friend is lying to me...

Well if I would have been able to access his inventory myself I would have grabbed a screen shot through FRAPS but for some reason I could not even see anything, on the body or in proximity. My friend did not think about the pic. Regardless, I did not see it myself but he is not a liar so I do believe. Besides I was asking if anyone else had seen this or not. So how about the trolls stop flaming my post ;-)

No screenshots this time... Unfortunately, his friend came up behind us while we were checking it out and shot us both in the back. I did not see any inventory at all but my friend did. He was not able to take any of it either as far as I know. It was also 5 mins before server reboot so we were trying to hurry.

Private hive... ? is this SA? How do you setup private hive servers? **** nevermind, i did not see what area i was in.

Some friends and I are thinking about renting a official DayZ server from ViLayer. Has anyone had any dealings with this company? I chose this company because they have hosting options for Phoenix AZ and they seem to offer a nice set of features and protection for a decent price.

Do you guys pay for your server as clans? I am wondering how that works, if I can just take donations from friends and other players to fund the server? Or am I the only poor guy with a server :-)

Good afternoon, I am looking for some answers to a few questions. I have looked at some other post but none of them seemed to really answer the questions I have. Currently we are renting a ViLayer DayZ SA server. Of course, it appears that there is limited management but I have found a few post with BEC or RCon commands. Thank you in advance if you are able to help. My first question is, do the ViLayer DayZ SA servers already have a built in reboot configured? I attempted to setup a two hour reboot schedule with warnings but it seems like the server reboots more often and I do not see my BEC warnings. I have opened a support ticket with ViLayer but thought I would ask in case anyone else has run into this. Additionally, we are doing our best to keep a clean server, no hacking, no exploits and active admins. There is a userslist command that runs but it only gives me three users and id's... I have notice some post about not asking the community about baning and adminstration but like I said we are trying to run a clean server and we have run into some blatant hacking. My questions are; Is there a way to pipe > the userlist to a text file on my local HD? Does the ban.txt work and if so what is the syntax if you want to ban a player? Additionally, there is a web based RCon client command line on the ACPlayer, can this be used to run commands? Thanks again -ShallowTech

Okay i found a post searching that answers some of my questions. Is there a way to execute an RCon command from the ACPlayer that will send a global chat message?

My BEC message configurations, I think they are correct and I see some of the message display but not the server warnings, unless I am just not catching them. <Scheduler> <!-- show text ingame every 60 min --> <job id="0"> <time>006000</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 This server restarts every 3 hours</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <!-- show text ingame 30 min before reboot--> <job id="1"> <time>023000</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>0</loop> <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 30min</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <!-- show text ingame 15 min before reboot--> <job id="2"> <time>024500</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>0</loop> <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 30min</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job>

We just rented a server today and set it up. In the (BattleEyE) BEC configuration editor, there are options to filter for bad names and bad words... not sure how these function because I have not researched it. Additionally, there does not seem to be any things specific in the rules about impersonating but this would probably fall under harassment if they are being fools. The "Do Not Do's" apply to abusive admins, so just be sure to have screenshots or some video and you will be fine. Oh and I thought you could click P and get a player list. Sorry I am just starting to play again and not familiar with everything. However, we have run into a good amount of players using glitches, exploits, ghosting, etc. and that is why we got our own server :-). Now we can deal with it ourselves.

Oh yeah, we got a server :-) West coast. We want to run a clean server, low pings and keep out those using hacks and exploits. Any assistance is appreciated.

Okay good to know, well this is actually the first game server I have rented and honestly I have never setup any game servers in the past. However, I do work in IT setting up and configuring Windows servers, applications and some SQL DB administration. Anyway, I am not familary with the functionality and what I can actually do. I have done some searching on the forums and did not find much. Can someone direct me to some post or videos that can help me get started... For instance, is there a way for me to see how is in the game or setup a few private slots and other management features. Not that I would want to but is there a way to ban or kick players that are cheating or using exploits? The reason I ask is because I did see some guys clipping through some walls to shoot my friends and I, part of the reason we decided to purchase a server. Thank you for the assistance.

Anyone know what is going on?

That would be cool...

Agreed! This was ridiculous!

Additionally, I was trying to get a full copy of the rules and the link in the rules thread for downloading the .pdf is broken. Posted 25 February 2014 - 08:19 AM An updated PDF with server hosting rules is available: http://dayzgame.com/...ules_Public.pdf If someone can post a new link or a link to current rules I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you,

Roaming hordes... probably already a suggestion but hear me out :-) One thing that I have not seen in these survival horror games are zombie hordes J It would be very interesting to maybe have low zombie spawns in certain towns and roaming zombie hoards. How amazing would it be if you were moving through a town looting, and all of a sudden you see a group of twenty or so zombies coming out of the trees to move through the town? Maybe they could have heightened awareness due to the fact that they are moving or have not eaten any brains in awhile… or even zombies hoards surrounding buildings when they her shots fired in towns. These would bring the AI and game to life!

I played this game for the first time last weekend because a friend of mine purchased ArmaII for me. He bought the game because I had been playing WarZ and he told me the DayZ was a much better game, even though it is currently only a MOD. Holy crap he was right! Regardless of some of the problems this game has, in its current state I find myself becoming very addicted to this game. I cannot wait for the standalone version! Most of all it seems like the developers of this game are striving to make a ground breaking improvement to this genre and MMO’s in general. Okay I am done, first post and I thought I would show my enthusiasm! I played this game for the first time last weekend because a friend of mine purchased ArmaII for me.

Thanks Relapse! Thanks for the game man, now I have to upgrade my PC! ;)

Thank you, it is a warm welcome from what seems like a good community. Even though I have only been playing for a few days, it seems like I am playing with some real gamers again, not a bunch of little troll hackers! ;-) I say this because I have played on a server with my friend and the first group of guys I ran into were cool, they helped me, let me join them, and did not kill me when I turned around. They even shared items with me if I needed them. This was an awesome experience, of course I am sure not all players are this friendly and some probably pretty paranoid but it was cool. This is something that I noticed was very rare in the WarZ environment and that really comes down to the community. Anyway, thanks to everyone and I hope I enjoy my time on this game.
