This is great news. I'll let my colleagues know and ask them to wait it out...

What location are you using ? If you've had no issues I might move my server there, and I totally agree with your statement about the DDOS.

I changed because they were supposed to be better, and I thought for more money they would be. I'm glad you have a flawless service with them, but there are those of us who don't. Does that mean because you're having a good time , that the rest of us who aren't should shut up? Interesting concept, but yes we are looking for a new provider and so are the two other clients I got using them. We are all having issues on a daily basis, so I guess its just us then.. You've got something on your nose there, need a tissue? FYI: This happened a couple of days ago, people were without service for almost several hours. Their IRC channel was clogged with complaints that day. It also happened last week, and every other couple of days since I can remember. I'm not going to be bullied into not giving my honest feedback, if it works for you then say it works for you and try to accept that maybe it doesn't for others.

Just read a tweet from them saying they've been DDOS'd , again! I honestly don't know that much about this type of thing, but my hosting provider have consistently prevented DDOS attacks on several of my clients websites. So if anybody knows how this stuff works, maybe they can help Dayz.st to limit or prevent future attacks.. I'm saying out of genuine support, not criticisim.

This happens frequently , at least once every couple of days with me. My friends who host with Dayz.st also report the same issues.

When are you guys going to fix your set up? I've had more down time and lagg with you than I ever had with HFBservers and I'm paying you twice as much. I've been really patient for the past 3 days, letting it slide thinking you'll fix the issues without me having to throw my toys out of the pram just to get your attention.. Well, I'm throwing my toys and I want this thing fixed, it's been down nor for over an hour and there's NO way to contact you.. Your website is offline, your servers are offline.. For $30 a month, I expect more.

Due to the lack of player interest, the existing player bitching about not enough pvp and the fact I just can't be bothered anymore. The Red Zone has been increased to accommodate more PVP. Effectively the Green Zone is now nothing more than a breathing space for players to gather supplies before they brave the North. I would appreciate feedback, suggestions and input via this forum thread.. Cheers :)

I put together a tips and advice section on my server page here: http://dayzmod.com/f...r/#entry1144907 Doesn't cover bandit strategy because there really isn't one, other than "Trust nobody" , "watch your back" and "If it isn't with you when you log off, it probably wont be there when you log back on" ... ;)

It's Kill the Admins weekend... (cancelled due to no takers! lol)

Announcement: Sidechat has been turned off. This decision has been made to help keep with the realism of the game and prevent unnecessary chat pollution people can still try to contact an admin using Direct, Group or Vehicle chat , as admins can see all text conversations in RCon. Sidechat is back due to issues with broadcast messages not being seen. Oh hum! lol In other news: The admins will broadcast the location of random vehicles throughout the day, this might be once every hour or once a day, depending on whether we have the time. Locations for vehicles will be announced using GPS coordinates and there will be no further announcements on the success or failure of players getting the vehicle. The type of vehicle will be up to you to find out! Cpt Hayward, out!

No matter what setting I put my server on (full day or normal cycles), one half of the group will always complain more than the other. So now I just leave it on normal day/night cycles, but have put the timezone back 8 hours to give everyone a chance to experience daylight before the night kicks in. Personally, I prefer the night time, especially with sidechat turned off.. Crawling around Cherno for an hour and suddenly bumping into a random player can really get the heart pumping lol..

Need to get some feedback on server performance. Since dayz.st went down the other day for over 3 hours, my server hasn't felt the same since it came back online. Haven't seen the usual half a dozen regulars on either.. Anyone care to let me know how the server is performing for them :) thanks!

I've got a couple of admins who routinely hunt people down in the Red Zone purely for the sport of it, and being a non-pvp pacifist I thought it was time I gave them a taste of their own medicine. So for the whole of this coming weekend, starting Friday 8pm (GMT0) I've kitted out my admins with some sweet gear, and if you can kill them in the Red Zone, then you get to keep the gear you loot from their bodies. You'll know they are admins because they all wear the soldier skin. On this occasion I'll also be taking part, so good luck (not that you'll need it, because I'm rubbish at being a bandit). More details on our server here: http://dayzmod.com/f...friendly-server The rules for this weekend are simple: 1. No cheating/hacking. Anyone caught cheating or hacking will be banned without appeal. 2. Absolutely NO killing or harming another player in the Green Zone. This is the area where people can gear up for the Red Zone without fear of being killed for the shear hell of it. Save the killing for the Red Zone, or you'll be kicked and possibly banned. 3. It's only a game, so please don't rage or grieve because you're not able to kill an admin for their gear. Trust me, I'm totally rubbish at PVP so you have a really good chance if you can find me :) 4. Have fun and please tell your friends about the event. Peace out.. Added: We will also be arranging for regular heli pickups from Cherno and Elektro , dropping you off over the NW Airfield. So gear up in the green zone, shout out for a heli lift and if anyone's available, you've got a ride! NB: Available as and when someone in my team can fly the heli for me!

Dood, I'm so sorry.. I know you're like me when it comes to PVP, but you don't mind taking a bullet for the team this weekend, right? :P lol

Just updated the top post with details on our gear upgrades , along with some tips and advice for new players. If you have any questions don't hesitate to drop me a message here on via pm :)

My server currently has a safe zone and a PVP zone. I don't care what happens in the PVP zone and don't need to know who killed who with what etc. But in the safe zone I'd like to do one or more of the following: 1. Display a death message naming the victim and the killer (on screen and or possibly to the rpt file). 2. Deal the killer the same amount of damage they dealt the victim (idealy I'd like to kick the killer with a warning as well) 3. Put the killer in time out when they rejoin , a blank screen with a timer and the reason they are being punished. Even just the first option would be a start, but I've tried a few scripts and they all kick off Battle Eye , I have removed the specific lines, added my script to the line i.e !"myscript.sqf" and so on, but i'm not getting anywhere. Does anybody know of a simple script that can be run directly in the zone trigger "added through the map editor" or trigger a script when the player enters that trigger, if you do I'd be most grateful . thank you in advance.

Funny thing you mention purists, because I've been playing Dayz since the beginning and I remember it being about survival and cooperation. It really only started to turn into COD and LOL-Kill heaven when it became more popular, as the trolls and grievers took over. I consider myself a purist, and I believe in safe zones because back then Friendly meant "friendly" and the majority of the players weren't total douche bags . We killed out of necessity only, and the rest was survival against the zeds. A lot of the original players, the true purists don't even play it anymore because it has lost that apocalypse style survival against the zeds feeling, now it's just COD with ZEDS! Maybe the standalone will fix that!

Thanks for the comments Thorsblood and cheers for the links Smasht_AU .

No they don't.. At most you get a "Player X died" .. Show me where the current dayzcode stores the killer information ?

I've emailed this developer, even commented on their facebook page and they aren't keeping to their promise of giving the premium version. I was hoping to make a donation soon, but at this rate they can forget it. I doubt even that would get them to answer my emails. Use DART instead, at least that developer gets back to and keeps to their word...

I've downloaded this program 4 times now.. Each time waiting for the next release and the ban list never works. I don't see any players listed in the ban list, even though i've got plenty. BattleWarden seems to handle the list ok, but this program doesn't want to play ball. I've asked in another forum about this and got fobbed off with "it works for me" .. Just wondering as I'm not the only one with this issue, whether it could be a bug ?

MAP may change if enough players vote.. Changed due to popular demand: NAMALSK, NON PVP! (50 user private server) Your priority is to find food and survive! If the cold doesn't kill you, the zombies just might! Donations to help with server running costs are welcome, via paypal: urbanskaters@gmail.com . Please note that it costs us $30 a month, so even if you give just $1 that would be more than enough :) If you're lucky enough to find an admin in-game while roaming the landscape they are obliged to help you with food, water, medicine and heat packs. No need to ask, they will let you know who they are and offer the support without being prompted. So no need to ask "you an admin" everytime you bump into a player! NOTE: We aren't looking for admins, so please don't ask. White listing starts this Friday at 5pm GMT. PM me for more details...

Please visit this post for our official server thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/120312-chernarus-red-and-green-zones-pvp-and-non-pvp-friendly-server/#entry1144907 I will not be checking this post anymore..

We've just updated to patch 1.7.5.1 . The refuel script still works but the debug monitor will need testing properly first for errors. When there are no admins present or the server is extremely busy there will be a white listing policy enabled, so please post your GUID along with your in-game username in this thread. It may take up to 24 hours to get added , but we do try to get you listed within an hour. Added zone triggers. The user will now get notified when they enter either the Red, Green or Buffer zones. The red and green overlays have been replaced with Red and Green borders instead, as we had complaints that users couldnt read the map properly. Added a community base Far west of zelonogorsk, if you can find it, you can join us. Please do not touch any vehicles , as these all belong to people who have found them and brought them to the base for safe keeping. Feel free to park yours in the hanger or in the general area. We are not safe from zombies here, there are several dear stands that spawn zombies (and loot) , so be on your guard at all times :) For the time being custom loadouts aren't working , this is due to the latest patch and something to do with Bliss (that I honestly don't understand so I'm leaving it for now). All users will therefore be given a decent loadout at start including NVGs , Rangefinders and a silenced weapon. Hope that's ok! Please see the top post for updates on the new patch and additional information.

Did you ever complete it? I can tell you now that there's nothing working on the web at the moment, all those other projects have either died a terrible death or aren't available for private hosting. I'd love to see how far you got with yours :)
