    The AS50 TWS is certainly not in dayz as a loot drop.

    Depends what u call loot.

    For me a loot is anything I can take off a dead body, out of a tent or a vehicle, pick up from the ground etc. Then AS50 TWS is legit loot.

    Sure it doesn't SPAWN any more, but it's a legit loot.

    But this is IRRELEVANT! If you applied to host a server in a DayZ Hive, you MUST obey it's rules. Otherwise NOBODY will do. By banning a people for carrying a weapon spawned by someone else - you just promote illegal behaviour.

    For all we know you might actually be hurting upcoming DayZ standalone - if you successfully fight hackers on most of the community servers by custom means (third party anti-cheat software, custom scripts, manual log-analysis etc) developers might get wrong picture on overall hacking issue severity and choose wrong means to fight and prevent them in the future.

    Are you sure there will be community-hosted standalone DayZ servers?

    Can you promise to support all community standalone DayZ servers?

    Are you sure you will actually have means to do so? Are you sure there will be human-readable log files or third-party tools to do this?

    No? Then stop doing so now! DayZ is in alpha, and more realistic picture developers get - the better it is for all of us in the long term.

    LOL.

    I like your way of dealing with people. But you are wrong.

    I like drag-racing, But I know this is wrong (not allowed). And when cop pulls me over and gives me a huge ticket for doing this - I don't complain :) So shouldn't you, when your server will serve you alone. :D

    No

    This rumour has no basis to it whatsoever.

    Using a hacked vehicle/weapon will identify you during database analysis, and your character may receive special logging attention in the database, but you will not receive a ban without creating them yourself.

    http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46844-hackers/

    As soon as any admin like you will ban me for something he wrongly assumes a "good reason" his server will be reported. :D

    And Wiki. Read notes.

    There exist some lingering TWS (Thermal Weapons Sight) versions of this rifle in DayZ. They were previously removed from spawns in the 1.5.x update but sometimes do re-appear, most likely from a veteran losing it or a hacker spawning it into the game.

    First of all, AS50 TWS is LEGAL. Read wiki.

    Second of all, you host servers for COMMUNITY. Don't like it? Don't do it!

    I'm sick and tired of admins who host server, ignore official rules, and whine over other people actually following them.

    You are not allowed to kick/ban (even local) anyone for using an scripted weapon, vehicle etc. And BE will do it job banning actual hackers.

    GET YOUR OWN HIVE AND MAKE YOUR OWN RULES IN THAT HIVE!

    Good luck to find any players on it.

    If I find an AS50 TWS on your server - I'll use it. If I find an Black Hawk on your server - I'll decide if I fly it or blow it up, and will do it on my own. Don't like it? Cancel server subscription or leave the Hive.

    I agree that original owner should not have a chance to re-equip AS50+L85+NVG+RF+Ghillie+CoyoteBP+GPS+antibiotics in 10 minutes after his death. Solution - tent should relocate to random position on the map in 5 minutes after owner dies. Loot is loot, there should be a chance for anyone to find it, no mater if owner is dead or alive.

    Sure,you can buy an extra character and make him to place tents. But you can buy an extra character and use his inventory and backpack to store your loot as well, so it's something that can't really be avoided.

    To run a beta-patch setup, open a downloaded archive (ARMA2_OA_Build_XXXXX.zip, where "XXXXX" is a version number), and run a ARMA2_OA_Build_XXXXX.exe file from it.

    If you downgrade - u may lose your character at older version server-group. It looks like at some point of 1.7.2.X patching new characters were created in the Hive for those who were still on 1.7.1.X servers, but the rest were moved to new "sub-section". Actually all characters might have been recreated, but I have no time or wish to bother everyone asking to remember if they were respawned on the beach at some point for no reason... Either way, I'd say there is a chance that your character with all items will be stored in that older part of the Hive, and will never be able to move to newer server.

    Have seen some posts from DayZ staff that servers will be excluded from the Hive if not up-to-date. So thee won't be any possibility to play your character at all.

    All this is not confirmed, just my observations and troubleshooting.

    If you upgrading or reinstalling current Beta-patch version - just run a setup file from beta-patch archive.

    If you are downgrading (I personaly would never suggest doing that!) - uninstall BattleEye from "arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion" first, connect to a valid DayZ server, (you will see black "Loading" screen with no further progress), close ArmA, delete folder "beta" from "arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion", reinstall required Beta-patch version with BattleEye (battleeye setup will start automatically after Beta-patch installation)

    Is there a way to remove a server from being shown to players? Can you maybe explain what a server request is?

    It's called a whitelist (for servers to be added to the Hive - main DayZ database with any character info (like items in inventory, health status, location etc.)) and blacklist -the ones that are not in whitelist. To add your server to the Hive (to whitelist it) administrator of a potential server files a server request on a DayZ website.

    Everybody share the same "map" on the server?

    All map markers are shared within a server. Map markers are cleared on a restart.

    Please note: this post is meant for the 5% of server owners who are being dicks, not the 95% who are awesome.

    ...

    Server owners need to start wising up. We are only processing about 20 to 30% of server requests for hosting due to the massive volume of offers. The clan servers need to realize they cannot just do whatever they feel like because their actions affect the rest of the game and the servers.

    ...

    In short, their are only two reasons why you, as a server owner, should ban a player on your server. Those two reasons are: Malicious talk, and racism. You may not ban a user for stealing your loot, killing you, spying on you, etc.

    DayZ staff should process server requests much more carefully, as many of current server admins are total *censored*holes.

    Then try this:

    Move addons folder to ramdrive.

    create a symlink to it from original location (don't forget to run commandline as an administrator).


    mklink /D linkName target
    /D – Creates a directory symbolic link. Default is a file symbolic link.
    	 linkName – Specifies the new symbolic link name.
    target – Specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link refers to.

    Play DayZ.

    p.s. And OF COURSE don't forget to make a backup of addons folder.
