The issue with which bit?? Dayz mod vanilla public hive servers are running fine and still available through Dayz Commander. Quite a few private hive servers running various mods wont run in Commander and quite a few are refusing to start full stop. Seems the transfer from Gamespy to Steam was a bit of a mess with unseen troubles. Still it is a big undertaking I guess.

Ooh I can see the ban hammer coming out in here :) The steam\gamespy debacle has caused a lot of issues. Me I'm still trying to get Chernarus running in OA.............

You reap what you sow...............

YAY!!! I'm back lets see how long it is before the over zealous mods on here dish out more warnings... Right let's put all this nonsense to bed once and for all. A brief history. The JohnnyClan has been playing together since Quake LAN partys. It took off in a big way in 2003 with Call of Duty. We also play the Battlefield,Arma and Far Cry series of games and over those years with over 260 members all over 25 years in age not one member has ever been caught using hacks or cheats by any of the anticheat programs Vac,Battleye,Punkbuster etc. So for you to state in an open forum that Johnnys were cheating without any hard evidence is both slanderous and a down right lie. Johnnys never have and never will cheat We came on to your server tore it up, slaughtered a shed load of players and you got your arse in your hands about it. Nothing more nothing less. Other servers (UK410) we play on using the same style welcome it as a challenge and take great joy at claiming a Johnny scalp. Facoptere. You accuse Johnnys of using ESP .....You allow on your server the use of 3rd person view. Anyone who has played Arma will tell you by looking in 3rd person and using the free view camera you can "look" over and around solid objects. Your accusations of using "esp" hacks is shot down at this point. Solution disable 3rd person. Facoptere. You accuse Johnnys of being where they shouldn't be......... Your servers are part of what was the "official" hive. This allows players to come and go with their kit onto different servers. You accuse us of being in places we could only get to using a helicopter and yes we do get to places that are difficult to reach BUT "server hopping" has been a part of Dayz as long as the hive has been alive. It is not illegal in the game sense however, it might be questionable as a style of play. Who hasn't been shot by snipers "hopping" from server to server in the Cherno towers this has been a part of the mod for as long as it's been around. Solution use a private hive. Facoptere. You try and pass yourself of as a respectable admin who abides by the rules but this is not the case. I posted the rules here in an earlier post to which you failed to reply. Now no one really takes any notice of those rules now that Rocket has sold his soul to Bohemia (and who can blame him) and everyone is concentrating on the Standalone version. I personally do not care that I have been banned from your server but the reason "Get of those roofs" is hardly a bannable offence according to the rules. Then you add quite pedantically to your post "... and ofc JohnnyLube and Johnnyfaulty aka roscoo" as if it is some sort of moral victory. Very mature So, if you as an admin refuse to abide by the rules why should your players? We got banned because we do not fit into your idea of how the game should be played and yes you can argue "I pay for them I will run them as I like" which is fair enough BUT at least have the balls to stand up and say that. Just admit it, you threw your toys out of your pram and dropped the ban hammer. You have no proof of cheating even when using your "gcam" thing you're the same as every other lame arse player who, if they cannot explain what happened immediately calls cheat\hack. You would get more respect for being honest and saying "Look lads that's not the way I want it on my server" . But then of course that would be seen as being honest...... Oh, and talking of honesty the admins on this forum.. Kichilron you are quick enough to suspend people for personal insults you should at least apply a similar approach to posts of a slanderous nature. You warn people for accusing server admins of abuse without any supporting evidence but allow people to openly throw around cheat\hack allegations again without any supporting evidence. You really need to look at the moderation of this forum. Enough said.

Just a point of order....... Could I possibly point out number 10 on the list. If you are found breaking the following rules, your server will more than likely be suspended at most server providers and if it's not suspended it will result in the entire ip range being BLACKLISTED by DayZ support staff. 1. Your server must follow the DayZ name convention. DayZ - Location ID (version/beta buildnr) [difficulty][timezone] dayzmod.com - hosted by Customtext. 2. Your server slots must be 40 slots minimum. Please also note no server provider is allowed to provide servers below 40 slots. However there is an exception for developing countries or countries where bandwidth is expensive, for those countries minimum slot count is now 30. 3. Your server must not be password protected or locked. BEC connection flood #lock is allowed but must be set to no more then five minutes. Servers may also be locked briefly before scheduled restarts, again, this may not exceed five minutes. 4. Your server must have BattlEye = 1; set within the server.cfg. (as of 1.7.2.4 the hive will not allow you to play if this is set to 0). 5. Your server must have reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com"; set within your server.cfg. 6. Your server must have requiredBuild = replace with newest beta build; set within your config file. 7. Your server must have verifySignature = 2; set within your config file. 8. Your server must have kickDuplicate = 1; set within your config file. 9. All server problems must be reported to http://support.dayzmod.com. 10. As a server admin you must not: You are not permitted to ban players for killing yourself or clan members. You are not permitted to shutdown your server when your killed. You are not permitted to shutdown your server when you lose a vehicle. You are not permitted to kick or ban for smacktalk. You are not permitted to ban for suspected cheats or exploits, you need solid evidence, IE logs. 11. You are permitted to kick or ban for hate speech, including racism and homophobia. 12. You are permitted to kick or ban for cheating/hacking/exploiting that is affecting players in a server-disruptive way, providing you have solid evidence. 13. You are permitted to kick for illegitimate weapons/items not intended to be in the game, however please remember, many players do not and should not be expected to know every item that is legitimate and as such we would prefer you do not ban for this. 14. PVP is enabled at all times no matter the rpg element the admin tries to set. 15. Do NOT request un-necessary instance IDs, location IDs, or whitelisting from us. If you abuse the system all of your servers may be blacklisted. 16. Private Hives are allowed however we may not be able to help with problems relating to them, any issues you have with these servers should be reported to the server owner. NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS OR WHAT SERVICE PROVIDER YOUR WITH THESE ARE THE RULES PLEASE ABIDE BY THEM. :) :)

Hi guys Look it's Matt from Vilayer!! ^^ After all the Vilayer bashing in the early posts of this thread I can only say that Vilayer provide service second to none in the Dayz hosting game. Who else would put up with a series of random noob questions and cock ups and THEN when asked If Dayz+ can be put on a server manually set up the Dayz+ DB for me? Matt even popped on to my server to make sure it was all running correctly. Top blokes and so far a top service a couple of issues with the ACP dying every now and again and this is being worked on. Support tickets answered quite promptly.. I judge people and companies on how they treat me and have nothing but praise for this lot. Cheers Vilayer keep it up.

But youre a civ........ You dont see Rick or that other bloke with the crossbow running around in camo or ghillies :P

How about naked with just a gas mask?

Am I the only one who thinks the Standalone will not be the panacea to cure all Dayz woes??

Admin abuse is not as common as you lot think. The public hive would require you to run some sort of script to "spawn stuff in" Yes we have all been on the officail hive and found the " bottomless boxes of goodies". I run a server on the Vilayer public hive which although is not official is a happy medium, between public and private. The control panel allows me to alter the starting load out for players and at this moment on the server you start with a revolver, some grub and a map then you have to get on and survive. Yes I know its not true vanilla but it makes the first 15 minutes easier :) As an admin I could quite easily read the logs but its an arse ache FFS. Have you ever sat down and read the game logs?? Boring as fuck I can assure you. The answer of course is ..If you think there is abuse move on, there are lots of servers out there. To date the only people I have banned have attempted to hack and one player who attempted to exploit the hotel roof glitch. If the general consensus of players at any one time indicates a cheater or hacker he gets banned end of.. no discussion no arguments no appeals Harsh I know but I like our Little home in Chernarus to be seen as fair and well run Just a random load of waffle from an admin who gets fed up with everyone crying admin abuse when they cant explain how they died..........
