Did you get a password for the server login in the game< so not your server login admin menu thingy, i mean a password to login as an ADMIN inside the game on your server ?

if in days the setup of variables is done by only scripts, you probably have to alter some settings in some config file on your server

"normally" on a Arma dedicated server the admin logs in and can control the server straight true the game, he has a lot of options to set mission variables and such, i have seen servers with all vchat enabled, so it must be possible. I'm not a dayz server admin, but i do have experiance with Arma dedi servers, it should not be that different.

Do you have some gui to control the server ? When you go onto your server, do you know how to make yourself admin on that server, and then control the server true the game ? When ingame warn everybody you are going to restart the server, then type #missions What happens then ?

Didnt you get some sort of manual with the dayz server? What kind of control do you have over the phisical server ? Did you installed the files for the server yourself ?

When you as an admin restart the mission, when back in the mission lobby there is probably a button somewhere saying something like "mission parameters". There should be some way for an admin to set the mission variables.

non hive is no persistance character on the server, so when you logout of the server and come back in all your stuff will be gone and you start on the coast again.

Well the number 200 is interesting

The genie is out of the bottle :) Google and search....help yourself

It would be nice if an official could tell us, but i can tell you that "normally" you will not get banned or get you cd key revoked. I myself am a Arma player and the dayz mod is just a mod for arma. Arma would normally encourage moding and editing. If you have the correct instructions, it is even posible to have your own hive database server, this way your server will be persistant :) I myslef encourage other "new" arma players who got here because of Dayz to try and experiment. This is why there will be a stand alone version, the new setup will probably be a free game with a monthly payed membership to a public Dayz server. (i'm wildly guessing) Arma is something completely different then any other FPS or alike "game", Arma is a militairy simulator, its an open game engine, its open to give people the chance of contributing to the "game". With Arma you are able to create ANY "game" you like. I have seen alien shooters, playmobile warz, second world war games, its really unlimited opportunities with this "open source simulator" I think there will be 2 "games" coming up in the future, one will be a big Dayz standalone community, and the other will be 1001 variations on the Dayz mod in Arma III :) Experimenting with Lingor is one way of introducing "new Arma Dayz players" to the world of Arma, a world that made the creation of Dayz possible. It's not fair to have everybody go stand alone in the future while not been able to see what "engine" made this all possible, and maybe get interested in this open editable world super BIS simulator called "operation Flashpoint/Arma" I hope you have fun and will be able to make an well thought out decision on how to play these "games". It will also make you better understand thatthere is a price to pay for such an extencive open world simulator....... hackers. Which in my experiance, Battle Eye has always been able to keep them to a minimum, you know , once a couple of months you might have some as**** fuc*** up your game. Good luck and lots of fun.

What kind of help do you need, i understand that there are still bugs after server restart.

I love these adventures of people helping out eachother, bummer it turned out badly for you, still keep up the friendly spirit :)

The one sim that has build in voip is not modern enough ? I started playing multiplyer game because of OFP/Arma's ingame voice option. What is this sick need for shitloads of icons on your desktop, why all these 3rd party applications ? All you need is Notepad. Stop messing up your nice clean computer with all kinds of .net shit applications. You probably also have all kind of internet searchbars and all kinds of "boost" software on your pc.

See if your brother is downloading porn true your connection :)

Don't worry, i have been playing for months too, and i never ever find good loot, like NVG's cool scoped guns, and i also have looted shitloads of barracs deerstands and crashed helicopters. I just think i'm unlucky, the whole community walks around with big backpacks, the whole toolbelt full, 2 main scoped weapons and a tent camp the Roma's would be jelous to. I can't pitch a tent gave up on it weeks ago, i can't find no vehicles, even with running a maraton each night. But still i'm not complaining, i manage to survive and have some fun.

I'm actually a NL server go-er, so i hope you get it done, the NL server are so good to me, without hackers and such :)

Do you have file access on your server ? Is it a windows server ? If so you should have a similar installation directory as your own home Arma directory on the server, it might be as easy as overriding the BattleEye DLL's in the server's arma directory.

What are you doing ? You are trying to install SixUpdater ? The error means you are missing some microsoft installer thingy. .Net might be to find completely to download : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718 This is NOT the webinstaller, maybe this will install. Is your windows installation up to date ?

I think you better buy a standard FPS game, with a nice small playfield you know in 5 minutes. Make sure the game has limited controls so you can not complain about difficulty. THIS IS NOT A VIDEO GAME, THIS IS A MOD FOR A SIMULATOR !

But indeed find some Domination mission, good mission to learn the tricks. Stay away from addons and mods for now, they can be a pain to install or to make sure all players have the same version of the addons. ACE does rock tho, alot of domination servers will host a domination version for ACE, but like i said start out without any extra mods or addons.

here is a nice website for missions, addons and other interesting stuff for the arma series: http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&game=1

You should go to the BattleEye website :http://www.battleye.com/download.html Download the top 2 dll's, one for client and one for server, then replace the ones already in your arma directory, read the text on the battle eye site, it will tell you the location to put thses files. This should fix your problem. Good luck

Do you start the Mod ? This needs to be added to the startup parameter : -mod=@dayz

Hi all, I am surprised i am not seeing anybody taking resident in one of the towns. I like to hang around in one town, i was even thinking of making the town mine :) After a couple of weeks playing this mostlely solo, it is getting somewhat boring. Why are we not trying on holding towns ? Its a kind of weird people start building there bases outside of the map while it in my opinion is more likely in real life people start barricading houses and other well defendable places. I understand that we are not able to play 24 hours a day, so i understand that you think it is useless to try and barricade a city and after a couple of hours you will disconnect and you don't know what is happening in your defende town. Thats one of the reasons i ask battle eye to up the ping on which you are kicked. From my OFP and Arma days i know that i liked to play on US servers, sure it had a bit higher ping then servewrs close to me, but i have never had any lag on a US server while having a ping of 150. I'm telling this because it is needed to be able to play on a higher ping server, this way it is up to your clan to find people from all over the world to populate your defended town. So when Europe starts going to bed, the americas take over, and as soon as the americas go to sleap, the asians take over. So when it is alowed to play on a server with higher ping, we should be able to organize a group of people who will defend your town 24 hours a day. The high ping (max 200) does not mean you have a laggy server at all, like i said my best play i had on US servers while beeing in Europe. BlaBlaBla Greetings, Alphons

Yes, did he update the Games themselfs, ArmaII and ArmaOA ?
