Is it possible to run server outside of steam? I am wanting to run a server on a separate machine to the one I will be using to play on. Obviously when I try to start the game on my desktop, my other PC is forced to log out and closing the server ? Is there a way around this? (without using a new steam account)

Thread for posting some helpful advice and guidance for people just getting started with the DayZ servers! Very exciting times ahead. (REPLY WITH WHAT YOU KNOW TO HELP OTHERS!) How do you edit spawn points? How do you increase loot? How do you increase the amount of infected? How do you let players start with a few items? You get the idea. Any questions you have, post here and hopefully people will share what they have learned!

Previously, I had it setp to spawn in with bag, leather jacket etc etc but since the most recent update.. the same code isn't working? Has the format changed in the Init.c file ? It doesnt appear to have..

not working, keeps saying unknown code.. that format isn't the same as the code I was using prior to beta launch.. or it doesnt appear to be. Other things I have tried also not working, I can get items to spawn within the default clothing no problem but cannot change the clothes or add a backpack

Anybody know of any admin commands for in-game? Things like object spawning, teleporting etc etc ...

I've seen a couple out there and tried to implement into my server but neither working atm..

tried this quickly and getting error message saying 'Startingequipsetup' is marked as override but there is no function with this name in the base class

Hmmm.. still no luck with mine :(

Still not working.. :/

I've set myself as an admin and all that.. but none of the commands are working? Sorry to keep bothering just i'm at a loss with this one.. names, guid etc all corrent. Path files all correct..

much appreciated! :)

OKAY i have added this following the tutorial yet i am getting an error saying ' instanceId parameter is mandatory and must be valid 32-bit integer ' ?

Cheers, will this be working after todays update? That version hasn't changed since yesterday

Has anyone managed to get the vehicles working yet? I know they are going to be very buggy and in some cases server doesn't even start (alas mine) Anyone had any success?

Okay so after difficulty getting the server to appear on the browser (now solved, turns out my ISP was blocking me from opening any ports) I am now unable to connect... here's what happens My server is running fine on one PC. On my main gaming rig I browse for the server, find it and try to connect. The re spawn timer begins and counts down from 5. It then goes on the black loading screen and stays there. Whilst there my pc RAM maxes out to 16GB and the entire system freezes... This ONLY happens whilst trying to connect to my server.. it's fine with all the others.. Suggestions to solve? (PLEASE NOTE I'VE TRIED A FRESH INSTALL OF SERVER FILES SO THERE ISN'T ANY INCREASES ZOMBIE AI OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT)

Yes, on closer inspected there is something in the console saying 'no memory level found for' then loads of different assets. Reinstalled the files from steam etc and still the same..

Haven't noticed it saying anything different then previously..

still not showing for me either.. genuinely at a loss now.. all ports opened as suggested.. attempted without firewall etc all the go to suggestions and still nothing.. ?? HELP! lol

All the ports etc are opened as other posts have stated but my server is still not showing in browser. Been running for several hours and only way to find it is with ip.. what am I missing? At a loss here..

All of the correct ports open, checked on dayzspy and server isn't on there.. someone else outside of my internet has also checked and doesnt see it

Yes, that is open

Yeah, don't worry just solved it! Cheers for you replies and help :)

I've done this and getting an error Windows cannot find Bec.exe... not had this before?

Many thanks, do you know of any guides? Never used Steam CMD before but fairly familiar with CMD prompt in general.

Still no luck :/
