http://code.google.com/p/dayz-community-banlist/ BEC has this feature too.

It is not an item! It is just a character animation.

ban his IP address. If he has dynamic IP, ban all range using a whois request.

it is an animation of a character. it means "prone with rifle" More info in Arma2 wiki: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Moves

Answer in french in PM.

You installed BE DLL on the server and on your PC ? Or only on your PC ? If the version is the same at both ends, it should work. Other idea is network problems between your gameserver and BE servers. BE DLL (on your gameserver) connects to BE servers, if it fails the gameserver may have wrong behaviour. If you did some change in your network config recently, this can be an explanation.

Try to find the server you want on Gametracker. There are some statistics for number of players (so for server uptime) for current month. http://www.gametracker.com/search/arma2/?query=DayZ+-&sort=rank_world&order=ASC

AFAIK the hive is a mysql server. In front of it, there is a firewall that deals with the whitelisting. The gameserver talks to the hive in mysql over tcp/ip. For now the netcode is not optimized since the gameserver makes thousand connexions per hour, one for each player/object update.

A player sends 8 kilobytes of payload and server sends 4 kilobytes of payload per second. This is in average. it depends on server and client configurations. A player can send up to 30 kilobytes per second. For your server you will need 8 Mbps bandwidth both direction. First graph : network traffic shape with MaxSizeGuaranteed=1348 and MaxSizeNonguaranteed=1348 (both at the maximum to avoid fragmentation), for 12 players. Note that bytes/sec is payload above UDP. You need to add 58 bytes of header per packet to get Layer 2 (Ethernet) payload. Second graph (from my provider) : network bandwidth for the 2 servers altogether (25 players in average in global). Meanwhile I reduced MaxSizeGuaranteed to 200:

characters are reset every time you die. What does not change over parties are your humanity and your UID.

I am the only admin and I am too noob (for now) to hold a sniper rifle. And I will never use my admin power against players. While playing you can be kicked if: - BE has detected something illegal (the server is configured with latest Dwarden files). But you should have seen the rule# in the kick message. - there are some cheaters on the server: they can do everything. If it happens to you again, please give me following information: - your player name - date & time (Please, for Paris France) - message in the "kick" pop-up - possible location of the suspected cheaters who kicked you. I will have a closer look of players involved. I like hunting cheaters by looking the logs files.

There is no technical limitations, it is working well with WINE (for example) You can PM me your e-mail and I will give you the Howto.

what is mysql for? It is unrelated to BattlEye and arma2oa server. You should manually download and install BE DLL. Then you should check that BE is started in the RPT and server.log files. Rcon server is handled by BE, if BE can't start then you won't get any rcon console. At startup, BE connects to BE servers and try to update itself, maybe you should check for network problems.

Why cfgdayzDEFAULT.zip is not updated with latest files? Yes versioning could be done as a comment on the second line of the file.

yes there are 2 new functionalities on BattlEye.

Manual BE update?

I have an rcon written on Perl. It work for admin tasks on Linux. Should work for Mac, but you have to install 2 perl packages: Term::ReadPassword (to read the password from a terminal) and install String::CRC32 (to compute checksums of BattlEye datagrams). You will need to install the 'developer' package which can be found on your OSX install DVD (you only need the 'unix tools') in order to make CPAN lib manager works.

This is not screen of you playing the game, but the screenshot of the tool. This tool has flaws: it mixes things up. For it all "characters" (as you can see in RPT logs files) are players. But sometimes it can be some items such spawned vehicles, stash, etc. I am interested in your RPT log file, can you send it to me via PM?

- check RPT log file about some syntax errors or things not found. - do a ping to the hive - the devteam mail contains some typos!! It is Chernarus and not Chernaus (missing the second R) - please give us the command line you use to launch the server and the full location of server.cfg, xxxx.ArmA2OAProfile and ArmA2OA.cfg

this thread is a bit old, anyway I found that BattlEye did some outgoing network connections (to BE servers). If it fails, then "say" commands are not sent to game clients. To verify it, do not test with "say -1 this is a test" but with "say (player slot number) this is a test": BE will reply "player is unable to receive the message" For those who control outgoing connection with a firewall, at least accept the establishment of outgoing connections used by BattlEye: TCP or UDP to ports 2324. Anyway double check your firewall logs, could be a network problem.

Yesterday evening the server was under attack by theses cheaters. Banned: GmrGizmo OPSEC Deagle Xertran N0f3NSTU I had to act quickly as they were killing players as they were coming.

Rasmus has been banned.

GmrGizmo teleported in front of me, didn't try to shoot, then died. He came a lot and died a lot in the server (34 times according to the logs) I don't know if it is a cheater or a victim of a cheater. Cheater are playing with players as if we were some ragdolls.

Currently I am doing the setup of FR 129. It will be yours if you want. Of course if has not 50 players yet, but it could if it follows the step of its brother FR 34 :)

As admin of this server, it's difficult to help you for this specific situation. I planned some server restarts every 6 hours, hoping this will help.
