Well that's stupid that they have those things commented out. Don't know why they need to do that. Uncommenting the heading of the config sections is just stupid haha. They should put something about that in the documentation. Thanks a lot!

My bec.exe is in arma 2 operation arrowhead/bec and this is the config. The config files are in arma 2 oa/bec/Config. I'm 99% sure everything is fine. Something has to be wrong with the program. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Example Config file for Bec. # Everything is disabled by default # Enable/disable a parameter by Comment/Uncomment it with a # # You can also delete all parameters that are not in use. # If you are unsure how to configure this file read the online docs. # http://ibattle.org/install-and-configure/ ##################################################### #[bec] Ip = ***.**.**.*** Port = 2302 BePath = C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\cfgdayz\BattlEye LogDir = C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\BEC\Log Admins = Admins_Example.xml Commands = Commands_Example.xml ##################################################### ## Optional settings for misc functions #[Misc] #AsciiNickOnly = True #AsciiChatOnly = True #IgnoreChatChars = £æøå ServerExeName = arma2oaserver.exe #NickFilterFile = BadNames.txt #WordFilterFile = BadWords.txt Warnings = 3 Color = 0c Timeout = 40 KickLobbyIdlers = 300 #Scheduler = Scheduler.xml #MaxPlayerNameLength = 18 #DisallowPlayerNameChars = [](){}<>/\^¨|§!"'#¤%&@£$€ #ChatChannelFiles = true ################### #FloodControl1 = 5 # Or #FloodControl2 = 5 #FloodSampleTime = 5 #FloodLockTime = 10 ################### ##################################################### ## Optional settings related to Chat restriction #[ChatRestriction] #Global = 3 #Side = -1 #Group = -1 #Vehicle = -1 #Command = -1 #Commander = -1 #Direct = -1 ##################################################### ## Optional settings related to Reporting function #[Reporter] #User = Donald Duck #Password = 313 ##################################################### # Optional settings related to Heartbeat #[Heartbeat] #BanFile0 = C:\SERVER2\BattlEye\bans.txt #BanFile1 = C:\SERVER3\BattlEye\bans.txt

I have the rcon password set in the battleye config and server config but when i join the server and go to server control and type in the rcon pass and hit enter or click on the button nothing changes. I dont get the *admin thing next to my name, no new options pop up. Am I missing something?

I have the rcon and admin pass set to the same thing. How do I invoke battleye rcon anyways?

Do I just download an older beta patch and run the installer to revert back? My server has been up for an hour and it crashed already.

Should be good with the non razor bat file. My friend says he can see it and theres something like 20/40 people on it.

I tried starting it using the regular bat file instead of Razor's script and I see players connected but I still dont see it listed here http://arma2.swec.se/server/list Maybe it just takes a little while for it to update. I wish I could get this working :\ The UDP ports I get with netstat -a: UDP 0.0.0.0:500 *:* UDP 0.0.0.0:4500 *:* UDP 0.0.0.0:5355 *:* UDP 0.0.0.0:61859 *:* UDP 208.64.37.245:137 *:* UDP 208.64.37.245:138 *:* UDP 208.64.37.245:2302 *:* UDP 208.64.37.245:2304 *:* UDP [::]:500 *:* UDP [::]:4500 *:* I wonder why I have 2304. It should be 2302, 2303, and 2305. Now that I launched it with the regular bat file I'm getting 126k DL and 50k U so people must be connected and playing. I saw a few connects in the console window. So thats good. I just have to figure out how to get razor's script working.

I get: 9:01:13 Dedicated host created. 9:01:14 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.151) 9:01:14 Host identity created. I started it back up after putting the files from the hive .rar into the arma II oa folder. I also redownloaded the mission file and keys. Hopefully that helped :\

Hmm maybe I'll run through the welcome e-mail steps again. The arma console looks fine. Running netstat -a shows port 2302 open. I saw a few people connect a while ago but they disconnected right away. EDIT: Ah as I'm running through the steps I see I put the hive files in the @dayz folder when the welcome e-mail says to put it in arma II oa folder.

Here it says just UDP. But i'll try opening the ports manually instead of just allowing the program. That was what I was going to try next. http://support.dayzm...ayarticle&id=11 EDIT: Ok I opened 2302, 2303, 2305 UDP inbound. I'm at work ATM so can someone check to see if US 1567 shows up now? Thanks :)

I will try the in-game browser when I get home. At work ATM. I set Windows Firewall to allow traffic to the arma2oaserver.exe program. EDIT: And I manually added a rule for the GameSpy server reporting port

I'm setting up a DayZ server. It's approved and everything but I wanted to try to get it running before I ship the box off to the datacenter. I set the IP in the config to the LAN IP. I copied over the Addons and Dta folders from Arma2. Set everything up according the instructions but when I try to join I just get the black screen that says "Waiting For Host" and the console window spams Mission Dayz read from bank. Is this because it's not running under the whitelisted IP address? Or did I do something wrong? Also, in the bat file it has -name=LocationID. Am I supposed to leave that like that? I didn't see anything in the instructions about changing that. Thanks!

Ok I think I got it to work. Somehow I managed the glance over the part where I download the actual DayZ mod files :huh: Now I can connect and it loads and then it freezes on the Loading screen with the bar. I'm guessing that's because it's trying to contact the hive. Now I wish I could get the r4z0r49 restart script to work. It crashes right away saying 100000 was unexcepted at this time. I'm guessing that number is from the maxbytesize=100000 for the size of scripts.log before rotation. Does anyone have any idea why it would be throwing that?

How do you direct connect to a server rather than using the six launcher?

I was thinking of writing a little web application for my friends and I to keep each other updated on where we are in the world and if we found any ammo for the other players weapons etc. for when we are not playing together. It would be cool to query the database to get our player stats, and use that to maybe build a replication of what our inventory looks like as well as reporting on blood levels etc. Does anyone know how to query the hive? What does Dayz use to authenticate the player with the hive? Does it send the ArmaII cd key to the database? TLDR: Dayz should have some sort of API to query for your players stats.

The first time this happened to me I tried logging into two different servers to make sure it wasn't an issue with the server I joined. After I realized I was indeed going to be stuck spawning at the coast I hit respawn to try to get a better spawn, and holy crap when I respawned it put me back where I was with all of my inventory. The second time I went to play for the day, and the game spawned me at the coast I still had all my inventory this time, so I wan't going to try hitting respawn to see if it would respawn me back at my proper location. Luckely I haven't lost any inventory items to this glitch yet but me and another friend have been spawned in at the coast. My friend spawned at the coast with all of his inventory too.

Try joining a more highly populated server. A lot of the low population servers don't really have anyone in there because the server admins dun broke something and no one can connect. I get the same thing when I try to join low population servers. If i want to get in a server with 0-5 people I have to try about 15 different servers.

I seems that, unless you want to join a server with a bunch of people in it, most of the lower population servers don't work worth sh*t. You get stuck at "Waiting for host", or "Creating Character" or any of the other loading screens. I'm assuming the servers that have a bunch of people in them work because obviously a lot of people were able to join. Does anyone know why the servers that don't work, don't work? Is it a network issue, configuration issue, or dayz server bug? The servers I try to join are using the most recent version, and my computer specs are definitly capable of playing the game. Just wondering why a lot of the lower pop servers wont let me join.

that was kind of what i was thinking...

All the servers I try to join say playing
