The_Weasel

Hey Guys As any admin should I keep an eye on my server logs: The times seem well out but the server is UK based, so UTC+1 but I think the log files are -7 hours for some reason (Its 7am here and the log file shows midnight for its latest entry) I think the log entries speak for themselves: _id = player spawn spawn 30.07.2012 16:28:36: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 #line 1 "Aimjunkies\addweapon.sqf" createDialog "RscDisplayGame"; 30.07.2012 16:29:06: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 #line 1 "Aimjunkies\addweapon.sqf" _ok = createDialog "RscDisplayGame"; ?!(_ok) : hint "Dialog could 30.07.2012 16:29:15: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 #line 1 "Aimjunkies\addweapon.sqf" _ok = createDialog "RscDisplayGame"; ?!(_ok) : hint "Dialog could 30.07.2012 16:29:30: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 #line 1 "Aimjunkies\addweapon.sqf" _ok = createDialog "RscDisplayGame"; ?(_ok) : hint "Dialog couldn 30.07.2012 16:29:57: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 #line 1 "Aimjunkies\addweapon.sqf" _ok = createDialog "RscDisplayGame"; if(_ok) then { hint "Dialog 30.07.2012 16:30:14: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 #line 1 "Aimjunkies\addweapon.sqf" _ok = createDialog "RscDisplayGame"; if(_ok) then { hint "Dialog 30.07.2012 16:30:28: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 mjunkies\addweapon.sqf" hint 'dadsf'; _ok = createDialog "RscDisplayGame"; if(_ok) then { hint "Dial 30.07.2012 16:30:41: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 mjunkies\addweapon.sqf" hint 'dadsf'; _ok = createDialog "RscDisplayGame"; if(!_ok) then { hint "Dia 30.07.2012 16:31:21: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 mjunkies\addweapon.sqf" hint 'dadsf'; _ok = createDialog "RscBackground"; if(!_ok) then { hint "Dial 30.07.2012 16:31:57: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #12 mjunkies\addweapon.sqf" hint 'dadsf'; _ok = createDialog "RscDisplayMultiplayerSetup"; if(!_ok) then 30.07.2012 16:34:02: Ricardo (217.120.221.72:2324) d9a2a8e036ac999ee18f09fcace569f0 - #54 openDSInterface; I have added his IP and GUID to my ban list, I'd suggest you all do the same.

Sorry everyone, but fed up. Playing DayZ is pointless. Yeah, yeah, I know its alpha. But neglecting your community drives people away. So UK207 is now a regular Arma2 server, we will be installing the Rubber mod for warfare on it in the next few days. We'd like to see our regular players give Warfare a try, its great fun. DayZ was fun while it was playable, but so many ignored bugs and so many hackers. Sorry rocket, you let us down for far to long. Way to alienate your community buddy, I hope you learn from this.

EVEN FUNNIER Look in the mirror buddy... Who is taking what seriously????? ROFL ROFL ROFL

I though you said you didn't read it? I am well aware of how to use an apostrophe in the possessive/non-possessive. I DID IT ON PURPOSE TO TROLL THE SHIT OUT OF YOU BOY

Ha ha ha, this is just funny now, your quite obviously batshit insane Jim. My post must have really gotten to you, the only response you have is grammar and spelling. I am BEAMING with pride that I have upset you so much. I hope I have cut a few months of your life, pushing you further to that heart attack that your destined to have. There is nothing funnier then outwitting a troll and your response shows that I have done just that. You brought a smile to my face today, thanks!

Actually to draw a more apt comparison. Your like climate change deniers. You full well know what the problem is, but because you can't deal with any criticism you resort to personal attacks and censorship. FOR SHAME!

Ever heard of free speech? Your on the internet pal, get used to it. So what should I have done? Shut it down silently and ignore posts saying "Hey where has my favorite server gone?" Its a service to the community to communicate with them and let them know changes like that. Its a real shame this place is full of people like Venthos and Jim, who are the equivalent of religious zealots with the ideology of "How dare you say a bad word about my favorite toy" And begging for censorship is far worse. It just shows how out of touch with history and reality you are, that you would beg for this.

Oh whoops, I did the too/to mistake again. I won't edit the post as that looks suspect.

Huh, I put a post up to let the community know the server is no longer available and to express disappointment in how broken the system is. You start by insulting me, then hijack the thread for your own agenda. I'm not angry at anyone, I loved DayZ for a long time. I am disappointed it was left broken for so long (it still is by the way, very broken) and expressed that disappointment. However, I'd like to point out how full of rage your post is. You sound like a very angry young man and working your way to an early death. Have fun raging at strangers on the internet. I am sure your words really get to anyone under the age of 18. However, I am far to old and wise to take your words to heart, I could not care less about you or your opinion. Oh, by the way. Saying things like "I assume" and "isn't ringing you every night" shows how you are interpreting peoples statements to fit your own mindset and what you believe they are saying. You lose the debate then, because you are behaving like a child, you can't be taken seriously. Your like any "believer" in something, you can't stand the idea that anyone can have an opinion other than your own. Thats fine, have fun. But don't expect to convince anyone with your arguments as you can't keep assumptions and personal insults out of it. Its amusing to compare you to current political situations like the teaparty, you make assumptions about your opponent and use that as an attacking position. Please have more consideration about what you are saying and put together well constructed arguments, otherwise I just can't take you seriously. If I were a bitch I'd have constructed this post in order to troll you, make you angrier and push you further to that early death, but honestly I just feel sorry for you, deeply sorry. I hope time and experience grants you wisdom and you do better in life in future, but I don't have much hope for you right now and that makes me sad.

Wow. Ever heard of a typo? What a nice guy you are. I'm sure your correction of every tiny mistake gets you all the girls. Or perhaps it doesn't which is why you spend your time correcting spelling mistakes on forums. I bet it makes you lots of friends.

Hey Everyone I have no idea whats going on, but it seems no new players can join my server, only people who have logged in previously can. I understand that some hive upgrade is happening right now? That could explain it. But the problem started yesterday. We are running 1.7.2.4 (As 1.7.2.5 is borked) and since around 11 am yesterday we have had the issue. If a player who has never joined our server before tries to join, he gets spawned in the debug hills and their screen sticks on the final "loading" screen, the one without the progress bar. This should occur right before "Setup complete". Of course, they get fed up with waiting and disconnect. For players who have connected before, it seems to work OK, but they might have to try 3-4 times before they can get in. So is there a problem with my server or is there a hive upgrade going on as the rumour mil suggests?

Updateing to 1.7.2.5 fixed this... But now vehicles/tents bugs <sigh>

If you need a regular server to play on, you would be welcome on UK207. I am an active admin and like to look after and help out players on my server. Our team is pretty full, so were not recruiting, but happy to come save you in desperate situations. Broken legs and no morphine? Give us a shout.

Any news on the tents/vehicles issues with this patch? Really surprised to see it went official, we rolled back less than 6 hours of trying it. We won't apply it again until the vehicle saving is fixed. We don't particularly want to be playing a game where all progress is rolled back every server reset. If I have missed a thread addressing this, then apologies, but is this been looked into? I have not seen a response from the dev team in any of the relevant threads. Rocket can you give us some info on this please?

We rolled back to 1.7.2.4 as a result of this, vehicles are fine. I'd rather avoid Starey Sober (Graphics glitch) then lose all my progress each server reset!

Hey everyone One of the teams on UK207 requested a thread to report cheaters/hackers, so here it is. As the admin I will monitor this thread, so please post if you have any concerns about our server and players on it. Please post screen shots if you can, logs roll over pretty fast so I may not be able to check them.

Yeah, we have found quite a few now, the AS50 with the thermal scope is everywhere, must have found about 20 of them by now, I guess people are duping. When we find them, we have been saving the tents empty, dumping the weapons on the floor and resetting the server to clear them out. We tried to find your ATV, but it was nicked. Eventually found it in Solchiny, flipped on the bridge outside of town. Give me a shout when your back on and we will return it to you, with as many goodies stuffed in it as we can fit.

We have moved back to 1.7.2.4 because of these issues, its a waste of time trying to do anything. Won't be upgrading until things are fixed.

Of course, you are missing the other side of it. I am not a killer, I have some empathy I guess. The thing is, you don't see when another player sees you and just waits for you to leave or backs away. There must be hundreds of sightings where I could have killed someone, but didn't. You didn't see me, so I let you be. This happens more than you might think. A lot more. And there are plenty of co-op players. I was sniped and respawned in electro, some poor new spawn was trying to get to the firestation. I sneaked up on him and shouted out "BOO" in direct chat about 2 feet behind him. After he had changed his trousers, my team came down in the bus, we took him to starey and armed him to the teeth. So, now and then, someone will come along and make your day... If you get through the sniper fire. Plus, get off the coast ASAP, hit some deer stands on the way to Starey Sober and hope like hell you get in and out without being seen, at that point you should be good to survive.

Seen this guy on my server with hacked weapons. He also seems to run map hacks, as he knows where players bases are (we have had reports from all the teams on our server about him)

Happened to two ghillie suit wearers on our sever after the patch. Identical to the OP's description.

Same for us on UK207, vehicles dissapear, swap (blue van becomes hilux, red lada becomes bike) Its rather frustrating, nothing will save. Saving makes no difference. When we got those 2 back to base, the ATV had vanished. OK someone may have taken it but several teams on the server have complained that their vehicles vanished too, after we installed the patch yesterday.

Same for us after 1.7.2.5 Tents won't save. So new items in them dissapear. Vehicles are insane. After server restarts they swap position and swap what they are: A blue van became a hilux, the red lada became a bike. As far as I can tell, when the server resets, everything goes back to how it was before the patch. This is really messed up.

OK mate, don't get in the vehicle, it will probably explode if it has been hacked in. Yeah, sounds like its not part of dayz from the vehicles list. Everyone gets a second chance :-) But I take your point, some don't deserve it. Ill send them some warning messages next time they log in and monitor their behaviour, I can watch for multiple disconnects in the server logs. Warnings do seem to work though, mod1sh and alex were carrying hacked in weapons. Not seen Alex but Mod1sh started playing fair after I sent him a warning. Keep an eye on the tryhard guys (alpaca and sheep) they quit on me the other day, but have not been back yet, they are not banned but I am keeping an eye on them. Thanks for the report, they will be warned and monitored.

If your camps/vehicles vanish, reset the server, they should come back. Happened to us after a scheduled restart the other night, worked fine when I restarted the server again WHAT21A is that in your scripts.log file? The "hint" messages are built into the script, they show on screen in the chat/message area. So, yes as the hint says teleport, hacker for sure. setdamage 0 seems suspicous too. The only setdamage lines you should see should be like this: _id = player spawn spawn 28.07.2012 10:06:23: Player (xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - #27 awn player_alertZombies; sleep 0.5; player setDamage 1; 0.1 fadeSound 0; So, seems obvious what setDamage 0 does, if its a boolean field.
