So been having a little look through the logs to find a guy I caught teleporting looks like he had a nice chat with people saying he cheats :). His GUID - 9f4149999b936edd052adf9e072c1ce0

Right so our server has been suddenly plagued by god mode hacks which has made my current player base pretty pissed off as you can imagine. So I decided to try think of how I can ban the assholes excuse my language, so we have scripts.txt and scripts.log but that is useless if they are using a battle eye bypass but then again is it I came to the conclusion of that if they are using a bypass they should never show up in the scripts.log meaning they are bypassing battle eye and obviously have something to hide so I ban them on suspicion of scripting/hacking and if they want the ban to be lifted they have to contact me, but nine times out of 10 they will move on and just annoy another server rather than dealing with the hassle of the ban. So do you think this is a fair way to ban someone, also I did ban a group of four and it was the group of four god mode fucks in a spawned helicopter so this method does work. Constructive Criticism needed.

Yeah there is now a WCM panel that people can use to do tickets, maybe people want the general community to talk about this matter, all we are really asking is for a way to talk to people to make sure the server is ok or it anything is wrong. I really couldn't care less that side chats gone as I sit in mumble but there should also be away for people to talk which will be eventually the radios but they are not in yet so they should keep side chat until rocket has actually adding something in to replace it. As I have said before if we edited our mission file they wouldn't even know unless someone reported it so they really need to find a better way to handle this. Currently myself I host a 50 slot TS server to go along side my DayZ server but nobody bloody uses it because they don't want people hearing there voice that is why people want side chat. But meh this community can never make decisions nor does the community input even get considered so what does it matter :).

Indeed like that Dante-shawn but it could do with a bit more content hmm maybe make something where people can post questions so that you can update it more and more then eventually a lot of things will be easy to find. I do like the fact you guys finally got a WHM going as it should help you guys out a lot and it's not that expensive.

I just feel the priority's change per staff member rather than having one path so we don't get such a set of conflict on who to believe, One person says this the other person says that my god how hard is it to come up with one answer then delegate it down to everybody else rather than waiting for someone to ask a question then replying with one thing and then with the next. in the end you could also clear all this up with a decent FAQ that everyone has access to.

Yeah /Wisper sort of command would be nice towards admins, but how do we help new players and what is your reason to disable Sidechat ?

I understand rocket has said he does not want to have Side - Chat, but again I don't think you have thought this process through. Pro's and Con's Pro's Admins can talk to the player base and make sure everything is ok and when some people may need some extra time before a restart they can say so in game. New players can ask questions and be helped by some people. Players can actually talk to each other with out having to give out skype or other private details that they may not want to. People can have some nice banter with eachother for fun allowing a bit of interaction in the game. It allows people to see how active the server is. Con's Abuse - meh can be handled Spam - can be handled I see no other reason to remove this from mission files. So please people respond with a +1 or -1 and a reason if you wish.

Hi guys, As admin of EU #404, today I have had someone on the server with a V6 nuking electro. Problem is I have no way of finding out who it is and do not want to ban the wrong person, is there anyway in my logs I can check for these sorts of things. Trying to administrate a server for DayZ is horrible you have no way to check on people to make sure they are not up to something they shouldn't and it's ruining normal peoples game time.

As there is no information anywhere on what to be looking for within the console to see if anyone is spawning items on your server we need a collaboration of information from other server admins to start getting the information needed to start making listed of suspected hackers. At the moment I don't really know much but I will add what I can and if we get enough parses of information I will make a little programme that will look for them so we don't have to go through the whole log. Thanks all. Deadbeat - Owner of EU #404

Ok I have managed to get the server up and running but now it is saying "This server is running an incorrect version of the server side application" booo so close to having the server running. Also the @Hive is fully updated unless you need to get one from somewhere else now - I am using 0.4.1

Hmm still no joy..... Here is my config "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\expansion;ca;@dayz;@hive -name=cfgdayz -config=cfgdayz\server_{Code in here}.cfg -cfg=cfgdayz\arma2.cfg -profiles=cfgdayz -ip={hidden IP} -port=2302 -world=Chernarus -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=1 Server.cfg: is named but I hid it for this post. Ip: is there just hid it for this post. The error we are getting: no entry '.profilepathdefault'

@LVG No I don't mean like that, I mean in the google doc guide it says to download ARMA2 and ARMA2 OA, so we installed steam on the server downloaded the files but as we can't actually launch the game to get some of the other files so i am wondering where people get the files from when they dont have a graphics card in there server/3d acceleration. As i never had to delete these directories because they don't even exist ~\CBA ~\JayArma2Lib ~\CBA_A2 ~\CBA_OA ~\dsound.dll ~\Expansions\beta\dsound.dll

Have followed the guide but seems very outdated or missing things. We used steam to download ARMA 2 and ARMA OA but as we can't actually run the game we don't get any of the files which get created on startup. Just wondering where everyone get's there fresh copy of the game ? Thanks

Thank you for the reply and clarification Matt. It's good to see a reply from the staff and I understand mistakes can be made when the system is overflowing like that and I'm looking forward to see your new and improved method which seems like it should solve the issue and make things a lot easier for you guys. Again thank you for the reply it is much appreciated.

@Dizzymagoo Yeah I know what you mean but I prefer to be honest with them the things that irritates me is that in a forum post only a couple down from this one someone is selling servers at the same specification as mine but with a little less ram. So the system for getting a server seems very disorganised I understand they are busy though and I am more than happy to wait my turn for a reply just wish they would put a little more thought into the process considering all i really want to do is help the community by putting another well preformed and up to date server up.
