Grenades suck really, tough i had a double kill with them. Great to read this really i really dislike these guys.

@jade u funny. Depends on your scripts.txt If you have set it up correctly or have part of the code he used to spawn it listed as 1 in scripts.txt meaning the server logs it. the server would have written it to > scripts.log The thing is if he was not kicked from your server he probably used a script that is not being detected by BE and also not by your server security measures.

Good to know found these in our logs to looked so fishy.

Nice find, But a server name can be changed easily you should add the ip of the server here.

I understand what you are saying. Resources are slim, and you often find yourself alone trying to piece bits together. We need a administrator corner where we can discuss and help each other.

We have had a couple of times that after a restart saved vehicles and tents do not appear. The only thing we had to do is to restart the server one or two additional times to make it load properly.

So me and my friends decided to host and administrate a server. We want to do a good job and understand enough to do that job. But sadly I have to say the resources you can find on this topic is quite hard to come by. Now a player has been banned from our server, and he is claiming to have done nothing wrong. we have checked the logs and found that he supposedly tampered with this file and the sig was off "Wrong signature for file f:\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\addons\rocks2.pbo" Somebody who would do this (on purpose) would probably not join our TS an ask for a unban, so we are trying to unban him. we have all the information you would normally need to unban that player. (GUID,name,ip and id) but we fail to find any trace of him in our supposed ban list. (ban.txt located in battleye folder) Any help on this subject would be appreciated. another question are invalid sigs common enough to merit only a kick and not ban ? Can anybody give me some resources i can study to further my understanding of administrating a server, and the inner workings of it. At the moment it is quite frustrating and we need to make educated guesses how it all hangs together. I hear whispers of a Google group full of secrets. Can and should I join it ? Thanks in advance, DarkEnergy

Thanks for the reply. Yea i talked to all our admins and we set it to ban. we have changed it to kick now. Ill look into the BErcon see what i can dig up.

Wow, I am surprised nobody has posted a response yet.

Am i correct to think that the 25 dollar base price does not change ? So lets say 5 months from now i will still pay 25 dollars for and not 35 or whatever it was before ?

I just want to jump into this tread with a statement and some observations. Firstly, I am involved with the raiding party but i did not participate in this raid. The post i am making now is based on the information posted in this thread. At the moment I have no additional knowledge of this incident. Now I want to say something about the players characters and say they are no cheaters. Making such a claim without tangible evidence is very insulting. As far as i understand the situation lets lay it out. One of our group sees an opportunity to steal your stuff, and gets the rest of the team on the bandwagon. They search the map and used any information they could find to narrow the search grid. By chance or bad ass detective work they find your camp and start raiding it. One of your guys spots this and in the resulting firefight people die but the raid is still ongoing, or there has been loss of in game items. Being unable to stop the raid with conventional means and/or with the belief that the raiding group is cheating, you shutdown the server and ban the players that where on the scene. This is quite a pickle isn't it ? What we can confirm at this point is the following. You used administrative powers to resolve a in game situation in your favor. There is no actual proof only a belief that the other party involved was cheating. If this situation would be applied to a group witch has no administrative powers over the server, and the raided group would present their case to the administrator. There would be insufficient evidence to act on. Conclusion The only reason you made those administrative choices was to revert or minimize the damage for yourself and your group. Bottom line is. You used your position as administrator to protect your in game property. This incident should be looked into by a dev.

thanks for the quick reply and saving me from a ban. though there should really be a easy to find chart of ingame weapons on forums/website. Cheers

Hiyo ppl, So Dalas 24 just got ravaged by a hacker killing people and flying around in a attack helo. some guy with a russian language name was on there. Could a admin or sombody restart that server. nobody can play on it atm. Cheers

So this looks like a fine server to switch to. Just it seems like ny7 & 8 are having some trouble atm. It seems all servers are having trouble/dysinc because of the centralized system. I would love to join your server with my party. Quick couple of questions tough. Do you have vehicles, if so do you hog them all ? One of the reasons we are leaving NY25. When will you be upgrading to 1.7 ? Hope to be playing on your server soon. Cheers

soo yea max desync all time our group spend 2 hours ingame chilling. we would get dropped if we tried to play in this current state. the current state of the game is unplayable. It is alpha i guess, and experimenting is fine. But if it blows up in your face please assure the players you are working on it. Maybe a expected fix date ?

happend to us to lost truck and a bike no fun
