Hello all, we have created an online map for taviana similar to the maps dayzdb.com offers. It does not include loot spawn locations yet - but that might change during the next days. URL: http://maps.mydayz.de/taviana.html Please let us know if you encounter any problems or have constructive criticism to share! Preview of the three available Layers

Thanks for all the positive feedback we have received! This is on our list for upcoming features :)

As much as I love your work dotjosh I do not think that this is a wise decision. This will cause a LOT of confusion and it will split the remaining DayZ players (which are already decreasing overall atm) leading to less full servers etc. This mistake was already made once with Panthera and even if you make it _very_ clear in the GUI it will still cause a lot of confusion and discourage especially new players to try out this map. We will see where that takes us..

The server files were released publicly without any restrictions - so as much as I respect the work you have/are going to put into this I think it would be a better solution to form a team with the people which are already working on it. There is no point in having two different versions of a map if both are public, where each of them has some bugfixes and advantages but also its disadvantages. This will split the community and will not be of use for anyone I believe. So I'd suggest that you/your team get in touch with Alex, he will appreciate any help he gets with taviana. /edit: On top of that, if you are introducing a good platform for reports/suggestions I could imagine that Alex would be willing to join in. On the other hand it might make sense to shift that to http://opendayz.net/index.php which is already a platform for several private hives and custom map development.

We have added two additional layers in addition ingame map layer Relief (new default): This is basically the ingame map with added shading to illustrate the height Topology: This equals to a basic topographic map without any texture details for better orientation Screenshot in the first post was updated.

Good work - looking forward to this! We have translated the changelogs to german here: http://mydayz.de/171...3-release-heute Feel free to include them in your first post rocket

Please by all means keep NAT support out of standalone if there is the slightest chance that it causes problems, will delay the development of other features or will limit other features. I guess that a good 95% of players use dedicated servers which offer a public ip, if no more. And these are the servers which drive dayz forward and are important for the community! NAT is being used for people who host small servers (maybe only a 6 player server which is password protected) from their home dial up connections and are not able to configure port forwarding properly. A good amount of players which play on this servers might even used cracked versions of the game. Even if you want to host a game on a dial up connection you are sill able to do so by simply configure port forwarding on your router which will only take a few minutes! So I guess the reason for your questions is whether you kick out game spy and use an own, more flexible alternative which however would lack the possibility to perform STUN. If this is the case: kick it out for the above reasons. Again I can only emphasize that all professional hosts of dedicated servers use public IPs or are at least able to configure port forwarding so that STUN negotiation is not necessary. So if leaving it out would mean being able to integrate new features, eg in the server browser it really should be left out.

As a founder of myDayZ.de I just want to point out that we are in no way related to zombietampons and/or this program.

I think Bliss is the way to go (https://github.com/ayan4m1/DayZ-Private). It has a solid and well thought DB structure (much better than the one guru an/or antirocket are using) and the devs are extremly active. We run some of the most frequented private hives with Bliss structure so it scales/performs pretty well.

Nice work rocket! If anyone is searching for a direct download of 1.7.2.6 you can find one in our forums (a registration is necessary to access this download): http://forum.mydayz.de/dayz-download-mirrors/1553-dayz-build-1-7-2-6-download-mirror/

From what I can see your whitelisting system is based on the player ID. Are you aware of the fact that the player ID can be spoofed easily compared to the GUID?

Just had the time to test this out a bit. Seems to work pretty good, however I noticed it is relatively slow. I'm not sure what you are using to search but I think there might be faster alternatives. I work with cygwin a lot and the awk/sed/grep utilities there can process 20-40mb text files per second and core - maybe this is something you can look into as the scans of 40MB take like 2-3 minutes right now ;)

Hey Sawyer, thanks for the library. However I am currently looking at your example and I'm currently stuck at capturing the output. After connecting sucessfully i am calling the Players Method: b.SendCommandPacket(EBattlEyeCommand.Players); Via Wireshark I can see that the server actually sends back the player data but I did not yet manage to write this to a variable.. How exactly do I capture output? Would be really great if somebody could give me a hint. /edit; Nevermind - figured it out only minutes after creating this post - you have to add a sleep so the server can actually respond and the Message Handler can trigger! Thanks!

Thanks for your work on this tool. I've sent you some sample logs from my servers!

yes - wait. It mitght take up to 5-10 minutes in this state if the hive is overloaded /edit: too slow :(

You don't - these things are saved hive-side. If there is anything fundamentally wrong with your vehicles (e.g. none present for some reason) you can contact the devteam to reset the positions - but this will not work in case you only want to have a fresh start to be able to grab vehicles :)

Hi Kent, this is correct, you were banned because you've had a latency of 1500ms and above constantly for several days. This was causing issues for other players. I am happy to review the ban, please PM me with the complete outputs of the following commands in a windows command line: ping -n 20 176.9.73.250 tracert 176.9.73.250 Also you have posted the exact same post to 8 Threads. I'd kindly ask to remove all posts in the unrelated threads - one post is really enough ;) Thanks!

Hello Forum, many of you have without doubt noticed that during the last week hacking was dramatically on the raise. Lots of players are frustrated by getting teleported to death/thunderdome'd or having their inventories replaced - some even decieded to take a break from DayZ as it is not as fun as it used to be if you have to fear hackers on top of regular players and zeds. We know that cheat protection is a time consuming issue and that it is nothing that can be improved/perfected within a few days. But we really think it is necessary to get the attention of the dev team/BI and BE to show them how serious this has become - and we try to achive this with an online petition. It is extremly important to us that we are not misunderstood: We love DayZ and we appreciate all the time that everyone helping the project is investing. We do not want to have a perfect cheat protection tomorrow, as we know this is not possible. But we feel the need to make the people in charge aware of the fact that due to the current extent of cheating and exploiting many are not having fun anymore in DayZ. Only by getting this message out to the desicion makers we can ensure that something will be done about this in mid-/long-term. We think these areas are the ones which need improvement the most: Robust anti Cheat Engine which does not allow easy bypass Better anti-cheat techniques hive-side (e.g. don't save illegitimate equipment) Better protection of the server against execution of illegitimate scripts Tools for server admins to be actually able to verify cheat reports (without parsing through logs for hours) If you feel the same way and want to add your voice please support us by signing the partition we've created: Online petition Please use the online petition - we are not looking for a thread full of "/signed" here ;) Also please spread the word to your fellow friends and players which are affected by the current issues. Thanks! /edit: made the link more visible

I am sure they are aware of hacking - not sure if they are aware of the scale. I am not saying that the devs did a bad job or anything - they did what was possible with the engine they chose. But as you should know in software development it is not up to the single dev whether he works on e.g. a new project or lets say anti-cheat - this is up to the decision makers up in the hierarchy. These are the ones which need to be reached to actually change something. And these persons will not have a look in the "cheat reporting" forum - but you will get their attention if you have a significant number of people supporting a petition. I disagree. You can imaginge how the ArmA 2 sales skyrocketed after DayZ was released. DayZ is serious business for BI and whether it will gain or lose popularity - it will have financial influence on BI.

Is this really necessary? According to the wiki (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg)this was replaced by verifySignatures

Unfortunately at this point - no. I could see who teleported but that would be anyone who was ported by the hacker itself. I could see who used cheated weapons but this would apply to everyone who got hacked weapons spawned to their inventory...

Hey, thanks for the feedback and glad you like the server. We are working hard to keep the server stable and as cheat free as possible. If any issues occur remember that it is easy to contact us either in this thread, via PM or in IRC Quakenet in #mydayz (webchat available from our homepage).

Thanks for the report. Were you by any chance able to get a name of a person that could be responsible?
