You have a script restriction in your scripts.txt that kicks you for opening the server control. 3 things you can do: 1) Use an external tool from outside of the game 2) Open cfgdayz/BattlEye/scripts.txt and go to the line that is in the error message. For example: restriction #54 Go to line 54 in the file and delete it. 3) Delete your cfgdayz/BattlEye/scripts.txt file (not recommended) You won't be kicked after doing that

Yes, there is the official battleye config. Use this paths: http://cdn.armafiles.info/.dayzhosters/battleyeconfig/ban.txt http://cdn.armafiles.info/.dayzhosters/battleyeconfig/bans.txt http://cdn.armafiles.info/.dayzhosters/battleyeconfig/scripts.txt The username and password is in the mail you got from the devs. You need to modify the wget in the batch file in order to set the username and password. Just do a replace in editor: Search for: wget.exe Replace by: wget.exe --user=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD Works fine here. Also I just edited this in order to start BEC, but I think it should work: echo (%date%) (%time%) Waiting for Dayz to start. TIMEOUT /T 60 echo (%date%) (%time%) Starting BEC. cmd /k "bec.lnk" Didn't test this yet though.

I included it now, thanks for the script. The scripts.txt path is wrong but I changed it. Also starting bec.exe.

I mean the batch file that SubEclipse linked. edit: Well, batch file seems to be pretty neat. Where do I need to add BEC? Can't find anything that starts the server.

What else does this script do? It seems like it downloads something too? Is the scheduler correct like this? <?xml version="1.0"?> <Scheduler> <job id="0"> <time>5:30</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>0</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 30 minutes!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="1"> <time>5:45</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 15 minutes!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="2"> <time>5:55</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 5 minutes!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="3"> <time>055900</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 1 minute!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="4"> <time>055954</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 5 seconds!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="5"> <time>055955</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 4 seconds!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="6"> <time>055956</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 3 seconds!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="7"> <time>055957</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 2 seconds!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="8"> <time>055958</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 1 second!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="9"> <time>055959</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 Server is restarting!</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="10"> <time>060000</time> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>#shutdown</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> </Scheduler>

Doesn't killing the task prevent the server from properly closing (causing problems like vehicle reset)?

Could you maybe show me how you made the batch file? Do you just start BEC and the server as service?

I think you guys are searching for this? checkFiles[] = { "AddOns\plants2_Bush.pbo"; "AddOns\plants2_Clutter.pbo"; "AddOns\plants2_misc.pbo"; "AddOns\plants2_Plant.pbo"; "Expansion\AddOns\plants_e.pbo" };

Is there a proper way to restart the server by the way? Do I have to use #restart or #shutdown? From what I have seen #restart only reloads the mission, but I would like to shutdown the server and start it again. I configured BEC to use #shutdown for now but I were not able to test if it restarts it after shutting it down yet. Is it possible like this or do I have to use a batch file for this?

I'm making one too. Mainly because all the others out there just crash all the time and/or don't have the features I want.

Yes, I am shutting the server down properly. It seems like some servers got these problems and some don't.

You can't get banned for picking those weapons up. You only get banned for scripting them in.

No, to have another character you need another copy of Arma. The profiles will only change your name. If you delete the profile and create a new one it will only apply the new name to your character.

Admins can't just spawn stuff in. He was a hacker, maybe an admin too. No, you won't get in trouble.

Only 1 heli spawns per server for now. More will come once everything is working. I can confirm that vehicles don't save (position & inventory) and tents don't save. It happens on both of our servers, so it can't be a server problem. We have the newest beta patch, Hive hotfix and DayZ update. Still, after every single restart everything is back to old state. Vehicles are where they were when the server started. The heli we recovered 5 times now is back at spawn. The tents are as they were when the server started. The only thing that currently really saves for me is my character. We can blow all our vehicles up, restart the server and they are there again. We can take all the stuff from the vehicles, restart the server and it's there again. edit: Before someone suggest it: Yes, we did save. We even left them for hours at the same position, they still got reset.

Good post, have some beans.

Not just your server. Every single server has hackers on it.

Found our helicopter there too.

Hello, we are planning to switch our current server to a new machine with a new IP. Is it possible to take over the instance ID from the old server? Are we even able to get the new server whitelisted with an existing ID? If not, can we request a new instance ID with the new IP and use the old instance ID?

We are hosting on our own with dedicated servers so I guess we need to contact the DayZ support then.

Perfect.

Do helicopters spawn on the server as the server starts with the new patch? Or does the Hive first need to spawn them?

View distance is locked at 1600, not 1000. Maybe everyone with fps issue should post their system to define "Killer PC" my PC runs it just fine. ArmA 2 runs better than DayZ but it is still very well over 40 fps.

Server admins can't despawn anything. The Hive does. Maybe it just got stolen?

So there is no way to kick with a reason? Hmm...I guess I need to ban with 1 minute then. edit: I just checked the packages of other tools and the command is "kick <Player ID> <reason>" It seems like this won't work with the name for some reason. You can get the player ID from the player list.
