EU5 is your new home, if you can get on :D. Only have HUD and 3P enabled. Admins watching RCON, and a server upgrade coming by Thursday :D

Ander, DHW, Dwarden, SilentSpy and Vipeax

DjKhaled, is it the one the Dev's are working on? If so, Jump on IRC and try to get hold of one of the Devs. They "should" be able to sort you out. It is good to have, is it makes sure everything is running and keeps the files up to date.

There are no admin tools to kill in this mod, and if any servers have added one (or any other mods), they may lose their connection to the database and not be able to host DayZ.

Quote from Rocket: "The main server isn't even breaking a sweat, fuckers. It's the local servers getting fucked because you guys keep DDoS'ing them. ArmA2 wasn't designed to have thousands of people trying to connect to one server by spamming the enter key."

Franklin, while I do agree that we as hosts should be able to kick/ban people, I dont think we should have the final say. As I said in my previous reply, we donated these servers to the DayZ devs and the community. The Devs should have the final say. If someone is causing issues on the server you are hosting, then I agree, Kick them. It'll be a while before they can rejoin anyway. Bans should be passed through the Dev's first. You will always get someone that cries wolf about a server. It happens, but if you feel the need to ban someone, before you do so, take details of their GUID, and evidence to substantiate the ban, and I'm sure they will do all they can to help.

I respect Rockets decision, although I never kicked for members/donators anyway. When you guys donated your servers, you basically gave the Dev team free reign to do as they wish, which includes imposing their own rules. You don't donate to a charity and tell them where they can spend the money, do you. I know myself and Scottd564 donated this server for the use of the whole DayZ community. The Dev's can do what they want with it. If the server is full, we wait for a slot. If a slot doesn't appear, we play elsewhere. The whole point of a donation is that it is not to be limited in use, no matter if it is for DayZ, or to charity. It just doesn't work like that. If you guys that are complaining don't like it, then revoke your donation and move on. If you want to continue to host a DayZ server, then follow the few simple rules that are in place.

EU5 meets your requirements

DJ Khaled. Next time you get chance, Close down the server exe, hive and hive auth. Restart them in this order: 1: HiveAuth, then wait for it to connect. 2: Hive, then wait for it to connect. 3: Then start the server exe, and wait for it to create your server. You should then see HiveAuth say something like Try...Put...Get..OK a few times, then stop. Hive will then say something like Ping...Pong. Then when your server starts the game properly (allowing people to load in), Hive and HiveAuth will continue with normal connections. Give it a go and let me know.

Entrox, They're putting something called "Monitor" on the servers. It keeps everything running and up to date, such as DayZ files, Ban lists etc. Give that a go :)

Rocket (whose baby this mod is) already works for BIS.

You dont need CBA_Main client side to run DayZ. But you still get that anyway. No need to worry about that.

Guys, I need some advice. Since this new "Monitor thing was put on my server, my bandwidth usage has almost trebled. The only things running are Monitor, Hive, HiveAuth, arma2oaserver.exe, and a Ts3 server that rarely gets used. This link is to the hourly report before Monitor was put on my server http://gyazo.com/bd122b27ebeea497cb4c0f03ab381230 And this one is the hourly report from AFTER monitor was put on the server http://gyazo.com/b4bb8cb86a9fec878ae9402f250057d0 The top line on the second image, is only 30 minutes usage, as a full hour had not passed.The only thing that has changed on the server is that the Dev's put Monitor on. If this happens, it really needs looking at. I could really do with some help on this one.

Ignore this. Issue has been resolved.

Fenrix, if you use Hive and your instance ID for abusing the system this way, you will lose access the the database. Dev's are aware of this, so if you are doing it, I suggest you stop. BlackHoleSlam (an Abyss fan I see :P). It is not possible to host a server on a lan at all.

I restart my server regularly (6-8 hours) to make sure everything is running smoothly. Having a few issues due to the "Monitor" Software the dev's have put on there at the moment though, but once thats fixed, normal service will resume. 2 weeks without issue then this happens lol.

Waypoints are disabled here :)

Oh dear god. I appreciate your effort dude, but those lines are way too thick. I have this map: http://h11.abload.de/img/armaii_mapgwjzc.jpg

Locking and passwording are 2 different things. Locking prevents people joining until the server becomes unlocked. Passwording prevents joining until the server is restarted and the config file edited. Some servers locked temporarily to reduce the strain on Hive, although there are some that lock their server to get the best loot (which will result in loss of DB access). There are different icons for servers that are locked, and servers that are passworded. Locked servers will have a padlock icon while the passworded servers will have a different icon.

You'd need proof that he was hacking. It could just be that there was desync, which even after the 1.60 patch, can still be an issue.

Some server owners like that setting. Others don't. Some have custom settings. That is upto the server host. I saw a video last night where a guy was playing Day Z, and the server he was on was showing his position, the people he had seen around him's position, and position of spotted zombies on the map he found. They had their server on the "recruit" setting (which I personally think is just ridiculous), but that is the choice of the server host. My server has name tags, death messages and crosshairs all off at the moment, but we're still playing around with settings. Those that are off, will not be making a comeback.

No, leave that as it is, or your server won't show in the server list

Just matches needed for a fire :)

Restart both hive and hiveauth. Should fix it. Always works for me. If that fails, you'll have to contact the dev's
