So with 15 seperate reports of cheaters on the server all day since this morning, day changing to night and back randomly (didn't think this was possible) teleporting, every single camp on the map being destroyed and all vehicles destroyed, even the few regular clans who escaped their bases destructions being magically found no matter where they went... Server will be down until I can fix an Exploit I've been informed off that lets people get admin access and bypass BE and Antiscripting. (our regular admin has found himself banned) I need to go through the scripts log to ban the offending players, until then the server will remain down. Sorry :(

OK the scripts.logs is empty of anything usefull, looks like they had bypass working. We'll have the exploit fixed though and updated all the ban/script lists =p Sadly the usualy bypass and map hacks will still be active so there is no point us telling you all to move your camps, we'll just have to put up with it for now sadly. We found 3 Tanks at the airfield and are trying to figure out how the hell we can get rid of these.....no helicopter though =p I guess we'll keep our ears open for the update around sep for when they start giving us news on the stand alone that should be more secure and admin friendly. It's only a few months I recon until a "hive reset" anyway with a new stand alone release so we aren't getting too attached to kit and vehicles but we still want to try and keep our server reasonably stable for the regulars! Good luck vehicle hunting. Server is back up for now, still vunlerable as all servers are but it's a secure as it can be at least and we'll continue to act on reports of cheats asap.

We don't ban anyone for having a non legit item only if we catch you spawning them =p The red car is legit, we have one, it's slow but a 4 seater =p The Offroad is awsome but only seats 2 :( Nothing we can do about the vehicles sadly as they are all hive synced. If cheaters locate them/move them there is nothing we can do about it :( That said we experimented with the CLI RESTART command to start the map afresh (all tents and vehicles despawn) and we did see new vehicles spawning. We then did a proper reboot of the server and the old vehicles/tents came back as did the extra vehicle we found but the next day the extra vehicle appeared to despawn so....not sure =p

I'm learning, slowly and painfully =p This is my first scripts.txt trawl and my lord there is a lot to trawl..... Got a few standard scripts I can remove but 800MB takes a long time to cleanse, really need to do this daily to keep it down >_<

We did have a bug with vehciles not spawning on our server but they did start about a week ago. We had 6 of them ourselves and know another regular clan had 4 ;) I suspect sadly these will all be trolled and taken or teleported out but they should be back in 7 days or so as they respawn after no usage. Again sorry about that :(

So with 15 reports of cheaters on the server all day since this morning, day changing to night and back randomly (didn't think this was possible) teleporting, every single camp on the map being destroyed and all vehicles destroyed, even the few regular clans who escaped their bases destructions being magically found no matter where they went...

Sorry :(

Opps embarrasing I thought our scripts.log etc was all missing but I was just in the wrong folder *face palm* Thanks for the support ;) Yeah we are working hard to make this server a fun place for regulars (painted a target on myself there huh...) and seeing all our regulars griefed in one day is pathetic. Ok Hopefully be back in an hour or two! Loosing the vehicles will suck but the stuff can easily be replaced =p

*envy* Actually nice to see a non pilot POV for a chopper vid :) Man those artifacts need fixing fast :( Is this your own server or one you play on and What do you use to record?

Hey, I posted a thread for DE 188 on the server forum here but churn sent it off the register fast. I also have my own forum advertised on our server and here but again little traffic. Would love to see a dedicated section for individual servers but until then sure i'll sign up to your site if it helps. It won't let me register though oddly, says I'm a spammer which I find offensive! no idea why as I've certainly never been on those forums or spammed anywhere =/

Hi All, Despite some heavy farming we are still unable to get our grubby mitts on the SVD Camo If you have one for trade let us know what you want in return :) We have the usual NVG / Ghille / Satchel / 50 CAL / And selection of weapons and ammo for trade. We also have a complete tool set spare (GPS / Tool box etc), medical supplies, vehicle parts etc.

We have 2 L85 yes, finding it more of a novelty than a useful gun TBH and only one of our guys likes to use it so will trade the spare for the SVD Camo :) I'll be online about 7-8PM GMT onwards tonight. What comms package do you use, I can give you my Skype Deets if you have that.

Happy to give you one in exchange for your good will and a heads up if you find an SVD Camo or Rocket launcher later down the line ^_^. If you swing by DE 188 and give us a shout we'll hook you up =p. (We are GMT so usually online about 7PM onwards GMT which is EST -8)

If it's already been lit and extinguished it will not relight (go make a new fire) or it was raining (rain actually puts out fires if you aren't under cover of some form)

Ya which said that about 10-11PM there would be a 15 minute outage :) I guess it was a bit more serious than they thought =p

Same though I think Mikey182 you're being a bit harsh =/ A few hours with no CP access with a service more than half the cost of the next competitor is hardly end of the earth stuff..

Correct, Tanks, sand bags, Vehicles, Tents, all sync up with the hive yet have a local server "Save" component that seems to break them currently. After server reset all the above will come back at their last "saved" position / state regardless of what happened to them prior to the reset and after the save

So we have a few abandoned tent cities and Troll tastic deserts of wirefences that come back every server restart even after they are removed. I have FTP access to the server, is there anyway I can use this to premenantly remove this, This data must be stored on the server somewhere as it's clearly not Hive or it would stay gone so logically it would suggest I can clean this up. It's not so bad I want to wipe the server and start over yet (but is this an option also?) Even a way to "Remove" the offending items in game the normal way then "Save" the server so this is the new base point would be perfect and probably less open to abuse I'd love a way to schedule regular "saves" of the server the same way I have regular reboots to update tents and the such like (may even solve the duping issue?)

Nice but sadly changing server name is a strict no no with our hosting company. If I CAN do it via the mission file (I assume that's the dozen or so dayz_Chernarus_xxxx.pbo Files in MP_Missions DIR?) that would be great, but I've not seen anything about it and don't want to get our server blacklisted over something stupid like cleaning up tents =/

Damn :( was hoping it was a simple map file or database entry I could edit. My only concern then is does it fall into the territory of "Editing the mission file" which is frowned upon even though it's simply manually fixing a bug =/

So my friends have been looking at ideas for some Games to play within with "volunteers" in DayZ to pass the time and amuse themselves when Survival gets too easy =p Here are a few ideas we've had so far, comments and suggestions welcome. Lets see how imaginative / sadistic you can be ^_^ Russian Roulette DayZ Style 6 admins place 6 Satchel Charges dressed in identical Ghilles who then shuffle. 2 Survivors choose a satchel charge to stand on (suitably spaced) then take it in turns to designate an admin to detonate their satchel charge. First one to get 'sploded looses :) Bear trap speed run, 2 Competitors have to navigate a bear trap maze to get to the prize tent. Last one to the tent gets shot in the head by our resident sniper =p (Assuming they didn't mess up and hit a trap in which case they will be left to bleed out) Alternate version has both survivors wearing NVG (winner keeps them) through a darkened maze. Admins will throw flares and shine lights to try and disorientate the players. Lucky Dip Similar to the Hatchet Arena but there will be a few tents, some MAY contain firearms, some MAY contain ammo, some may contain both, some may have empty tin cans. There WILL be a single hatchet and crowbar in the centre, take your chances. Zombie Coral We have a concept that will allow us to heard multiple zombies using flares from nearby deer huts which we will coral into fenced off areas. If this works we'll have one man vs a horde with a random weapon decided by means yet to be decided.

So having been inspired by Mad Max and a few You Tube videos we have decided to start running Thunderdome style Tournaments and other competitions. Some may be a little more friendly like banger racing or treasure hunts but expect mostly violent and bloody competitions against psychos willing to smash your brains out for a can of beans. Welcome to the Apoc Olympics ^_^ These will be (mostly) Voluntary entry with grand prizes up for grabs. We expect this to be up and running in the next week or so but wanted to get the heads up out early. Pictures, details and prize lists will be drawn up and posted soon but any input and suggestions from you, our adoring victims Galdiators will be welcome :) Let the games BEGIN>

If this works we'll have one man vs a horde with a random weapon decided by means yet to be decided. Then like I say we plan on doing some other bits for those less willing to die like treasure hunts (we'll stick a tent with loot somewhere with some clues) or car races round a preset track, vehicles supplied.

No not at all, we are going to be far more imaginative than that and already have some great ideas in mind =p We will be posting some videos/pictures as soon as we have the proof of concept working =p

2 Weeks in I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to Host Altitude for DE 188. All questions and queries dealt with rapidly and with infinite paitience and all setup and working as promised ^_^. Keep up the good work. Signed A very happy Admin+Clan

I'm up for that. If you need a server I'm happy to host this on DE 188, we have regular reboots to keep things running smooth and as long as we have a few hours notice I can update the MOTD and Schedule to a set time, that should let a good size group on. Yeah I expect any forum organised group to end up with trolls in the group but I'm more than up for trying, should be a laugh.
