Well, that's odd because I assumed my server was on the wrong version because I get the "Something went wrong" error when trying to connect to my server. That error is usually associated with the wrong server version and I was waiting for them to get back to me (9 hours now) regarding this. In it's current state, I can't even play on my server.

I just got set up and I am not a very happy camper. I've been waiting for hours for a reply to a ticket. They failed to create an account for the ACP, where I'm apparently supposed to update my server to the latest version. Plus the fact that they don't have their own forums where customers can at least help each other, I like being able to use the control center, but I've got a bad first impression. This is after using dayz.st and being happy, but wanting more control over things.

I finally figured out where to put the new files: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\DayZ\@dayzcc_config\1\BattlEye The only problem I'm having now is when I get to the whole "character creation" part of the loading, it sits for a while then says something went wrong and I have to disconnect, but I'm not being kicked for BE restriction anymore.

I have remote desktop access to the server. I don't have a cfgdayz/battleye folder. I do have a \DayZ\Expansion\BattlEye folder and that has scripts.txt and bans.txt along a couple of exe files and a config file so I don't know where to put the other txt files.

Does anyone here have an account on the Planet DayZ forum? I tried registering there, but I got an error "Image verification unsuccessful due to incorrect reCAPTCHA™ private key. Contact the admin." If this can be passed onto an admin there, it would be appreciated.

Is there an official forum or website for Lingor Island? I would like to see where they are in development of the official version of the map.

Is there an official website to keep track of the progress of this version of Lingor? I understand this is the version being used by Dayz.st, which is where I have my server hosted.

Ok, thanks.

That version isn't available on Dayz.st That's confusing because that site says Lingor version 1.4 and is dated May 2012. The version I'm running at Dayz.st is 1.3 and was just recently released, based on 1.7.5.

I'm sure there's something I can change in the database to do this. I just don't know what it is. Hopefully the superior minds here will know! :)

I followed the instructions here: http://sponsored.dayz.st/wiki/index.php?title=Custom_Load_Screen I am running Lingor 1.3. I created a custom loading screen in .jpg format. I downloaded the default .pbo file from the control panel. I extracted it and added this line to the description.ext: loadScreen = "serverloading.jpg"; I also noted that this line was present so I commented it out: loadScreen = "\z\addons\dayz_code\gui\dayz_logo_ca.paa"; When I connect to my server, I am still getting the default lingor loading screen. When I get to the part where you download the mission file, it's definately downloading my serverloading.jpg because the mission file is over 700kb (My .jpg is 685kb by itself). When I get to the spawn part, I see a different place on the map than I am currently at, and the screen is just frozen, unable to see a player model or do anything. If I revert to the default pbo, all is fine. Is there something about Lingor 1.3 that prevents custom loading screens?

Turns out if I read further down in the wiki, for some reason the format for the line with the image name was changed: loadScreen = "pictures\loadscreen.jpg"; is the proper format now.

I downloaded rMod and I'm trying to join some rMod servers but I can't connect. The message flashes too fast for me to fully read it, but there's some sort of message about not being able to run or modify and it's dependent on downloadable content?... not sure if the error is logged someplace. Does anyone have an idea of why this might not work?

I added the server to my favorites, but when I "mouse over" the server version in DayZ Commander, there's no version number. Every other server shows a version when I mouse over, even if it's a different version from what I have installed.

Is there a way for me to reset my map so only the default vehicles are on it, without starting a new database?

I guess I missed something.. what removal of food?

Adding the need to poop would be epic. If you ignore it and don't find an outhouse/bathroom, you crap your pants and attract the zedz with your smell!

What are people bitching about? I think the devs are lucky they haven't been given a cease and desist order for using real name brands. OMG. What would people do then? 100% fake names for the food/drinks? Holy crap. What a fucking disaster that would be. It would completely ruin the realism... in a game with "zombies"... in a game where you can magically fix a broken truck with a tool kit and some scrap metal without so much as a lift or a garage... in a game where you can run 10000 km without stopping... in a game where a can of beans fills your belly... in a game where a shot of morphine heals a broken leg... in a game where pain pills work instantly... in a game... well, you get the idea. :)

Assuming the server admin hasn't altered the chance of it spawning, it doesn't always spawn. I edited my database so all vehicles have a 100% chance of spawning on my server.

Wait.. what's this about?

That whole alpha/beta/release reply is rather misleading. I think of Alpha as very basic with lots of missing features and place holders. This is akin to a release as far as I'm concerned, but yes, by definition, it is technically an Alpha. Does the branding of "Alpha" really matter? Does anyone enjoy it less? Nope. I don't think so.

Personally, I like it. The previous way made having a real weapon pointless. Remember folks, it's a work in progress with frequent updates. I'm sure the devs are tweaking things all the time, trying to make it better.

Excellent. I hope to see you on the server and in my forums. I am thinking of adding a Chernarus server too, but I'm not entirely sure I want to manage two servers.

I have a private hive server so I'd love to be able to have some sort of web based player stats system that pulls the info from my database. I've seen some communities with these sort of websites but they don't seem to want to share. Does anyone know if there's one available that can do this?

After Googling that, it seems Bliss Admin is an admin tool, not quite what I'm looking for. I didn't really explain myself correctly. I want to be able to display stats on a webpage, like number of players, headshots, zedz killed, etc.
