Hi everybody! After several evenings of customizing and testing, I'm very happy to announce the HoodratGaming DayZ server is now online! We have created several new zombie spawn locations with increased numbers. We are not running any client side mods, allowing everybody to join without installing anything extra. With our increased zombie spawn locations, you very possibly will turn a corner to find yourself facing a large pack of angry zombies while exploring a city. Some of our customization include: Increased zombies in all cities, military areas and villages Added random roaming zombies in the woods and along the roads All zombie spawn locations are randomized. This allows for unique experiences with multiple visits to the same location. Sometimes a location will be full of zombies, at other times it may have very few. A random chance for some very basic starting gear added to your character when you respawn (a can of pipsi, maybe some matches, nothing OP) Random clothing (all civilian clothes) Short nights! The time will change just after sunset, resetting to sunrise. This allows for a great transition from day to night, without becoming "dayz dark". Regular (automated) backups to restore persistence if the need ever arises (our persistence data has not been lost due to crashes yet, but we're prepared if it does) Decreased spawn radius to increase server performance. I feel like we have a very nice blend of zombies and spawning distance, which keeps server fps up with lots of zombies (more players needed for further testing!) Server Information: Server location: Florida Server IP: 76.109.88.7:2302 Search for "Hoodrat" in the server browser I would like to invite everybody to stop by and check out the server. All feedback is appreciated. Any updates to the server will be posted here, and be sure to watch for BEC messages in game for restart announcements.

Thanks Vex, I appreciate the clarification.

This is a response I received from ViLayer's customer support: So the devs have hard coded server restarts that can not be disabled? Can anybody confirm this to be true? I'm specifically curious if this is happening on servers hosted elsewhere.

When using an auto injector, it would be very handy if the action menu specified the target you will be using the item on. For example, it should say 'Use morphine auto injector on self'. After seeing somebody run for hours to find and return morphine to save someone, they were then confused and applied the morphine on themselves. Instructions were unclear. Screams were heard, tears were shed.

Hey everybody! I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that the timezone has finally been properly reset to UTC-9 and it seems to be staying that way. I know I'm enjoying the night raids :D Also be sure to note our new TS3 server address: 50.58.238.197 Feel free to drop in and say hi! Send me a PM to make your private channel permanent

Is it possible to transfer your instance ID to another host?

You're welcome! haha That was really close actually, I can't believe I didn't kill you when you were running up the hill at me! You got lucky. And nope, I didn't find an atv, neither did anyone else I was playing with. Sounds like there was some else close to us that night As far as helis... yeah, they've been removed. A couple nights ago we had a hacker teleport everyone, I have a feeling it's happened again

Confirmed. Everyone who was logged in at the time was teleported

Ahmed - BANNED for disconnecting during PvP.

This is confirmed now by a total of three groups on US53 that vehicles and tents disappeared! I've restarted the server, and now everything is back. How very strange... but I guess we all got lucky.

Automatic restarts are common, but there isn't a rule that says you need to do this. Generally speaking, automatic restarts are a welcomed feature compared to seemingly random restarts initiated at will by the admin. What's important is letting the players know when the automatic restarts will happen by adding an MOTD. To say something to all players, change to the Global Channel and then say something. The global channel is only available to you after you've entered the admin password in the Sever Control menu. As far as the patches, if you don't update then people who are running different versions may not be able to join. And for the random lag spikes... who is your provider? There's not a lot you can do other than bring it to their attention. Hopefully someone else will have some more helpful information about this.

I was emailed the following from the hosting company early this morning: We have been forced to update ARMA2OA to the 95054 patch however, the client side Battleye has had issues with the latest version and six updater. Six Updater does not include the latest update (v1.61.94945+) as of yet, so all players using SIX updater will not be able to connect to the latest updated servers. The will be kicked by Battleye if they try to join. DayZ and Sixupdater have both been informed of this issue and is currently working on releasing the update via six updater. If you are having issues on your client side, you will need to update your battleye client for your game manually by doing the following (This is only until six updater releases the update): Here is the file you need to update: http://www.battleye....61/BEClient.dll If you want to download it directly from Battleyes website here is the link : http://www.battleye.com/download.html Please make sure you update VERSION v1.61.94945+ You will need to overwrite the BEClient.dll in all instances of your installation. Once you have done so start your game and enjoy.

This sounds really strange to me... Whos the hosting provider you used?

Hey Denver Admins can't spawn anything. Hackers can, and with some screen shots they can be banned. When you say you found 3-4 vehicles randomly abandoned, it's possible that you just found them at their spawns before anyone else. As far as your Ural, I think you got robbed. As hidden as you may think it is, someone probably spotted it by pure luck. The only thing you can do now is hunt them down and take it back :D

The TS server is up and running now!
