Greetings, I'm seeing a few BE kicks for Script Restriction #67 and I'm trying to figure out if this is a false positive? My scripts.log file shows the following corresponding entry: 17.03.2013 15:42:51: PlayerNameRemoved (IP Removed) GuidRemoved - #67 "openDSInterface;" I am running the latest DWarden BE filters. Any guidance would be appreciated. Splinter

Thanks for the reply and information. You make a good point about the chat being spammed. I had not considered that. Regards, Splinter

Greetings, The new Anti Teleport script seems to be logging to my RTP log file. For example: 11:43:57 "TELEPORT REVERT: PlayerNameRemoved (IDRemoved) from [9046.53,1969.15,0.00096184] to [8.02051e-006,6.52649e-006,0.00146103] now at [9046.53,1969.15,0.00096184]" I have a quite a few of these entries from about 6-7 different players. Does anyone know how to interpret this log entry. What concerns me is that the player seems to have made a round trip in one second, if I'm reading this right. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Splinter

Wow . . . I sure hope that's not the case. Can someone confirm?

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks to both of you for your replies. Regards, Splinter

Greetings, I seem to be having a problem with Ban entries disappearing from my Bans.txt file. The strange part is that it only seems to be the entries that I manually put into the file. GUID bans that I put in using RCON, seem to stay just fine. IP Bans that I put into the file manually, keep disappearing after server restarts. Any help would be appreciated. My server is a standard package public server, hosted by HFB. Thanks, Splinter

I tested adding a few IP addresses when the server was down during a routine restart. They seemed to have stayed in place, so I have a feeling that I was running into a file in use problem. Thanks for the reply, Splinter

Thanks to both of you. I will take a look. Regards, Splinter

Greetings, Just a quick question regarding this same topic. I have a pubic hive server, how can I tell if my vehicles are spawning as they should be? Thanks in advance, Splinter

SxyClutch, Take a look at this video. This person is also using Dayz.st and takes you through the whole process. Maybe you will be able to see what's going wrong for you. Regards, Splinter

SxyClutch, I'm not familiar with custom servers, but I am familiar with SQL. Basically, whatever database file is being uploaded to, has a primary key defined for the field "uq1_building". Any data stored in a primary key field must be unique, so you cannot have duplicates. It would seem that the table your data is being inserted into, already has an entry for 'Land_Mil_Barracks_i_EP1' Do you see any entries in your BEIDI file for that? If so, can you remove it? Regards, Splinter

Greetings V2_Danny, thanks for your reply. Originally, I was using the server control panel to edit the Bans.txt file. Thinking that maybe the save function was failing, I tried using my FTP client (Filezilla) to download the file and edit it locally. Then, I push the file back up to the server and I overwrite the file on the server. Now as I'm typing this, I'm wondering if the server file is in use when I try to overwrite it? I do find the GUID banning effective, but lately I have had several examples of players getting kicked for Global Bans and reconnecting minutes later with a different GUID, but the same IP Address. That is why I've chosen to include IP level Bans as a part of my strategy in addition to GUID banning. Regards, Splinter

Greetings, I am seeing a flood of the following messages in my arma2oaserver.rpt file: 12:43:15 Error in expression <(time - _timeNow) >= _idletime;> 12:43:15 Error position: <- _timeNow) >= _idletime;> 12:43:15 Error -: Type String, expected Number,Array 12:43:15 Error in expression <(time - _timeNow) >= _idletime;> 12:43:15 Error position: <- _timeNow) >= _idletime;> 12:43:15 Error -: Type String, expected Number,Array 12:43:15 Error in expression <(time - _timeNow) >= _idletime;> 12:43:15 Error position: <- _timeNow) >= _idletime;> 12:43:15 Error -: Type String, expected Number,Array 12:43:15 Error in expression <(time - _timeNow) >= _idletime;> 12:43:15 Error position: <- _timeNow) >= _idletime;> The file size was over 1.9GB and was full of these entries. Is anyone else seeing these or do you know anything about these entries? Thanks in advance, Splinter

Thank you much for this. I will add those entries. Regards, Splinter

Horde, I am not running any other mods. This is a vanilla public server. I do run the dwarden BE filters as noted above. Thanks for your reply, Splinter

Greetings Facoptere, Yes I am running the dwarden filters and I check for updates every day. You are correct, someone did spawn a Dog Agent on my server. In fact, I was in-game playing when it happened and the dog was next to me. So these entries in the RPT file should alert me to that? Thanks, Splinter

Greetings, I was looking at my Hive log and noticed a few entries with negative values in the position fields. Should I expect to see negative entries? 2013-03-12 18:20:38 HiveExt: [information] Method: 201 Params: CharacterID:[343,[-18677.4,0.002]]: . . . . Thank you in advance for your help. Splinter

Thank you Ameo. I will ignore those. Regards, Splinter

RCon command to Ban a player currently on your server: Ban PlayerNumber BanTime Reason Example: Ban 1 0 Hacking Note: The ban time is in minutes. A value of 0 means permanent. RCon command to Ban a player currently NOT on your server: addBan PlayerGUID BanTime Reason Example: addBan 123456789101112... 0 Hacking RCon command to Kick a player currently on your server: Kick PlayerNumber Reason Example: Kick 1 Illegal Weapon Hope this helps. Regards, Splinter

Agreed. My thought was to look for multiple entries from the same player within a short time period. For example, the following block of entries are from the same player: 6:07:14 "TELEPORT REVERT: PlayerNameRemoved (ID) from [-1.94505e-008,6.85843e-009,51.7151] to [11402.9,3308.22,0.00163603] now at

Greetings, I host a server from HFB and I have the standard package. I upgraded the server to 1.7.5.1 and when I restarted the server all of the deployed tents and vehicles are gone. Needless to say, I have a bunch of unhappy players. I opened a support ticket with HFB, but they indicated that with the standard package, they have no control over the hive. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you, Keith

Greetings, I'm seeing quite a few users getting kicked by BattlEye for script restriction #229 the last few days. Here is an example from the scripts.log file: Line 4560770: 22.02.2013 12:15:40: PlayerNameRemoved (24.70.39.172:2324) PlayerGuidRemoved - #229 "rivate ["_dummy"]; _dummy = [_this,"players"] execVM "\ca\ui\scripts\dedicatedServerInterface.sqf";" Any thoughts on whether or not this is a hack or a false positive? Thanks, Splinter

DJ Teschmi, I just tested this ingame and you were right on the mark. I actually pressed the "M" key and scrolled down to Server Control. I was immediately kicked for script restriction #229. I will ignore these. Thanks for your help on this. Splinter

Will do. Thank you!
