wow! SOOO helpfull. I'd agree with you, Except for the fact that it's not just some "group" It's 90% of the population.

Search the forums mate. Theres like 1000 threads on this already. Also read patch release nots. You'll see whats being done about it But i agree. These people are cowards

Your my newest forum hero <3

I love all these "Oh i spent a whole $30 on Arma II and CO so I should get a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME for free" posts!

Oh yes it can happen. I've come helped one guy on the forums who asked for epipen food bandages and blood. I helped another in cherno shop who was axing zombies and got a broke leg. But every other player encounter has ended in me being shot at.

I recently ran into a warehouse in electro with a zombie tail, I was looking for engine parts. I ran in (Fully kitted:M4 acog/coyote backpack/nvgoggles/gps yanno doing well) Anyway i charged in, And there was a guy in there, Had a makarov in his hand, He seen me first and screams" FRIENDLY FRIENDLY DON'T SHOOT" I replied "Me to man, Just looking for engine parts sorry to drag a zombie train at you, I'll drag as many as i can away" No response from him, I pull my train away from him so he doesn't have to deal with them, I'm 10 m away leading the train... Look behind... He'd switch to his remington and just pumps me full of lead. Morale of the story? The only people I no longer shoot are ones with NOTHING in there hands. Even if you have a flashlight, For all i know your just lighting targets for a sniper on a hill. People are dirty in this game. Trust no one.

Press esc, go to options, then controls.

Id get super keen for a bigger map. I mean the current one is big. But imagine bigger! Hidden villages in valleys! Underground bunkers in an old wore torn battlefield! God I'm keen!

Willing to trade such things, But you cannot find engine parts? I normally like to believe trade posts but seems a bit suss...

I play with my old man, Tho im 24 and we share an extremely similar style of play so it works well

Had a good Clan vs Clan war there a week ago or so. Also encountered countless alt+f4 server hoppers and bandits (Well they fired first and missed so to me they're bandits)

10 Meats he won't. Asshole population is high in DayZ, But there are good people out there. Take the medics of the wasteland for example.

SVD Camo can spawn in barracks is only place i've found them. L8A5's are awesome, Tho every time i have one i die from an enemy i can never see :(

Yes, i did forget to mention kudos to non alt+f4 girls.

I run two screens and have not encountered this. But i have in others games... And as LVG said, If your in any game menu that displays your mouse, it can carry over to the second screen. As long as your moving your gun around (So technically in game) your mouse cannot carry over.

Your asking people to reply so you can have your ego stroked?

Welcome to the most hacked game in the world :D I haven't had a legitement death in weeks :)

And joining and claiming to be a server admin to get the scripts.txt is no different to posting it on a forums? If i knew to join i'd have gladly done so. The fact is theres no where on these forums that help Admins who are not familiar with Arma to learn what they need to do. A thread needs to be made to help with this. Or an Admin section of the forums where staff can help direct those of us new to arma as to what we need. Atm the forums are a total mess due to the massive member base. Every bit of googling i try, or even search on these forums always returns 4000 threads in relation TO hackers/scripts not hot to set up anything to help detect them. I made a thread about this and no a soul replied (http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/57758-server-logs/)so i'm guessing I'm the only server admin here new to Arma it self and wants to work with the DayZ team and other admins in any way possible.

Legend. Ty sir.

It has //new in it so that will have to do i dont think i have the ability to add a file. But its empty? Where can i find this fabled scripts file everyone talks about?

I've been wondering this my self, Made a post an no one bother to reply. I don't have a "scripts.txt" file in that directory only a "scripts_old.txt" Any idea why?

Ok, So. I've had a server for about 3 weeks now. I've been reading and searching these forums in an attempt to find how to better prevent hacks, Or at least track them. I've seen multiple posts about being able to view the logs and see who has spawned items. Being new to Arma it self I have no idea which logs are meant to have this information or how to even tell which event is an illegal spawn. Also, I keep hearing over and over about this "Scripts.txt" file to add to our servers: 1. Where does one find said file with all the events to check for 2. Where does it go? I find a "scripts_old.txt" file in my server files but that's it (In the battleye directory) Is there no thread dedicated to helping admins learn how to do any of this? If so perhaps one could be started? I'm aware the scipts file only helps LOG the activities of these children and their toys, but still being able to find out WHO has done it, And then have them banned prevents them from returning. If someone could help me understand what it is i'm meant to be looking for would be awesome. I hate being able to see the direct chat in BERcon and see someone type "Can you spawn a helicopter" And have no way to find out if it was done or who did it. Perhaps also there could be a Server Owner section in the forums? Somewhere we can collaborate and help one another? Just an idea.

Exactly! Coz you know I rent a server simply so I can grief on people. What a retarded thing to think.

You can be as good as you want hiding your vehicles and tents. Doesn't change the fact that there are still people that spend their time hunting for them. But it does suck to loose all that. Recently lost an entire camp/ural/motorbike/ute/bicyclesx2 after having them for about 10 days also.

And exactly how do we do this? Please explain. As I rent a server, And I see nothing more then any other player EVEN when logged in as Admin via Rcon.
