Gogster (DayZ)

I use the term specifically to denote those people who camp the shoreline killing unarmed players. Is this frowned upon or also an accepted part of PvP?

Get well soon chief.

Thanks, you're fucking fantastic too.

Wah wah wah - fuck off.

Whatever. I did the right thing and got rid. Precisely so I don't have to deal with hackers, they're one thing, but they don't come here and bleat about the servers and the bleat about the way they are run. That's an extra £80 in my pocket to keep DRINKING!

In case anyone is looking for them.

Hi Everyone, Firstly let me give you a bit of background. I'm not a member of the dev team, moderators or part of BattlEye. I am merely a server admin for a few UK servers, which is soon to grow significantly. I do, however, have a background in anti-cheat. I used to be a moderator and MD5 creator over at PunksBusted. This was before BF decided to move to their own anti-cheat system and the site got perpetually attacked via DDOS. I carried out this work for the best part of 14 months, so have some good insight into anti-cheat and cheat detection. I have, in the past, tried to contact BattlEye about their product to see how admins could extend its functionality, but have not received a response. This is a shame. Like most anti-cheat sites they are predictably taciturn when asked for information, but with the lack of response I feel it is time for server admins to group together and try and combat the cheats by sharing information. I propose the setting up of a DayZ Supplementary Ban List. This list would be contributed by (confirmed) server admins from the community, who will be able to download it and use it on all their servers to keep the cheats off. There's no money available for this at the moment. I could put some in, but I have done some testing with free services out there and we successfully trialled using Google Drive, Wordpress, & MailChimp. The system would work like so: Access to the 'system' would be via application form which would run through a series of checks to confirm server administration etc... Once approved the admin would be mailed links to the cheat addition form and a link to download the data. Cheats would be submitted by the authorised server admin and verified by the server log-entry. We do not have a remote repository so a lot of this information would be taken on trust. This is not our fault, this is just the way BattlEye works. Admins would receive an email when the data has been updated, usually every 24 hours - to go and download a new version of the data. They would upload this to their server, we would provide instructions on how to add it to the ban list for those admins who do not know how to do so. We would expect admins to only get the data from the link so it is up to date as possible with added and removed bans. We would need admins not to share the data with other admins, although using the same list across servers would be ok. Could I get your opinions, enthusiastic or not, and your level interest or not. We would need: Server admins who are interested in joining Names of anyone who would like to get involved If there are any people on these forums who have been members of the PunksBusted or PBBans team to any level above just being a streaming server admin, that would be really useful. It seems strange at this early stage to talk about security as this project/idea may not even get off the ground, but I think we need to ensure that people are aware of who we are dealing with. That is why I have stated my case above, there's a lot of personal information on my profile on these forums - so you can be sure who I am. As such we would need to ensure that people who come on board with this project are trustworthy, as such, if it seems a bit heavy handed, bureaucratic in it's processes then I apologise, but we need to unsure that the system is trustworthy, run by trustworthy people.

Oh, another one of these topics, how ordinary.

What you say is true, but then by implication you are saying an admin took the time to 'frame' you. I'm sorry I just don't buy it.

Perhaps he saw the post you would make and it pleased him.

Started normal. Wavered in the middle. Went bat-shit crazy at the end.

Really? Know all the other hosts and their level of access do you? I don't really care what you put up or in your signature but that sort of statement is fairly contentious.

lol - I think a declaration of interests is required here...

A 404? Yes.

The filter files catch the execution of the hack AFTER THE EVENT only BE can prevent and ban cheats as they happen. It takes time to write detection code for hacks, so get checking those log files.

The stupidity is TOO DAMN HIGH >:(

Vehicles do spawn, there is an expectation from some admins that they should reset on upgrade/re-starting, which is wrong.

That won't wipe the files, do as Paddy suggests.

I think their lives are made easier by not putting that information on display :D But you're right, it should be good practise to let people know how to contact an admin for a server.

I think that's a lesson in being succinct. If you need any other help let us know.

Good grief :rolleyes:

I do hope everyone posts a countdown as we pass every decreasing 1k mark.

This should be in DayZ stories.

Submit their details to the CBL. http://code.google.com/p/dayz-community-banlist/

No.
