This is correct. Thank you Wüstenfuchs for adding this. I forgot. Regards, Dizzymagoo

Once again that isn't the dev's fault. He could have had a lee enfield in his backpack. I often carry around a rifle for longer range situations when I have an automatic weapon. I think you are jumping to conclusions here. If you have disconnect messages disabled in the server they still appear in the logs. Note the time he disconnect and review the logs later. If Soppa doesn't provide you with the logs then that isn't DayZ fault. You are looking for someone to blame. The person to blame is yourself. Soppa could very easily make it so you can view your logs online. If you aren't satisfied with his services then switch(No offense to you Soppa, you're a great guy). There are ways around the problems you are complaining about. None of this falls on DayZ/Devs. Your hands aren't tied. Regards, Dizzymagoo

I don't think it should tell you how much longer you're passed out for... I mean... come on... you're passed out! You have no sense of time!

Browse to arma 2 operation arrowhead\cfgdayz\Users\cfgdayz Your cfgdayz folder might be named something different if you did that. Edit cfgdayz.ArmA2OAProfile You can change all the settings in there. Make sure you change it for the difficulty of your server! Regards, Dizzymagoo

Once again you are foolish. The M249 is in the mod. Thats why the ammunition and the gun spawns. I personally have found one before. Its also in the loot table... M249_DZ weapon 2.17% You really need to improve your knowledge over this game before bitching up a storm. And I still have failed to see how your hands are tied. YOU disable the cursor - thats your fault. YOU don't pay attention to the disconnect messages - thats your fault. YOU saw him spawn on the beach, shoot him, you had the drop on him, but you didn't - thats your fault. If you don't know how to utilize your logs - thats your fault. How is this DayZ fault? Sounds like a poor server admin to me. Your logs are located in your config file directory. Use them. Love them. Cherish them. Also have other people in your server help you. Im very friendly and friends with the regulars in my server. If they report a cheater or hacker, most people will go out of their way to take the SOB down. And then from there I will review the logs and issue the proper bans.

@Babylon - You're an idiot. @The Other Two - Do you know how to check your RPT file? It should be located in the config folder for the server. Look for lines such as 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76438UAZ_CDF" 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76437Volha_2_TK_CIV_EP1" 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76435hilux1_civil_3_open" 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76434hilux1_civil_3_open" 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76433BAF_Offroad_W" 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76432S1203_TK_CIV_EP1" 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76431Smallboat_1" 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76430Smallboat_2" 13:34:29 "OBJ: 76429Smallboat_1" This will atleast let you know if vehicles are spawning or not. In some cases if they don't spawn. Reboot the server again and allow the mission to load before letting people in. You might also try rebooting the mission(This worked for me once). Hope this was helpful. Regards, Dizzymagoo

Find a PBX. It does about 70 while using shift.

You also need to ban my cell phone. Most the people in my group I know personally.

Hmmmm maybe with the bandages you might have to change them out? If it was a gun shot wound you may have to swap out the bandages. The bleeding might slowly come back?

I do like the idea of having generators and such. Maybe add heaters for at night? Maybe add things like deployable military tents as shelter? Flood lights would be fun for bases. When you think you have an intrusion. BAM! EVERYTHING IS BRIGHT!

Yeah zombie hordes would be amazing. Make them random. Maybe some towns are just impossible to loot and you have to move on. Otherwise your f*cked. Unless you have a MK48...

I stopped reading this thread around page 5 because I had to change my jeans 7 times from pissing myself laughing. Then I made some Ramen. It was good. Back on topic here... Rocket, just out of curiosity - How does the BattlEye banning process work? If you have any insight on how these bans are issued it would be cool to know the "Behind the Scenes" information on it. NOTE: I didn't receive a global ban from "You" ;) Or one from BE for that matter.

Yay! Another worthless thread!

He was asking what you need to do to setup the server to restart at a certain time. Not how to set the ingame time.

I am just failing to see how your hands are tied? Ban him... He is cheating. That is against the rules. It is a simple as that. If you can't get his name. Figure out a way to get it. And if he "spawned" with an M249, maybe his location just got reset and he was spawning on the shore? I once saw a guy standing on the beach with a Coyote Backpack, M4 CCO, M9 SD. He was just... standing there. I kindly took all his gear from his pack and ran away like a mad man. Spawns on the shore happen. Especially when there are issues in the database.

Yes. If we don't try it, how will know if its good or not?

First of all, vehicles are all server side. They don't transfer from server to server. Second of all, I have never seen or heard of an Armored SUV before. Third of all, vehicles are much more common now to find.

I am sure I am not the only one who has done this. You go to click options and accidentally click respawn. Bam! You're dead. Its not a huge issue, me and my buddies usually get a laugh out of it when someone does it(Like me last night). But didn't think it was a bad idea to just put a small dialog box or something.

Hey all! I run the Denver 1 US Server and I have a couple different methods here you can use to auto restart your server! Method 1 - Using Batch Script You can use the following batch file to just restart the server when it crashes/exits. @echo off cls echo Protecting ArmA II from crashes... title ArmA II Server Watcher :arma echo (%time%)ArmA II started. start /wait arma2oaserver.exe -mod=EXPANSION;ca;@dayz;@CBA;@JayArma2Lib -name=cfgdayz -config=cfgdayz\server.cfg -cfg=cfgdayz\arma2.cfg -profiles=cfgdayz -world=Chernarus -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 echo (%time%) ATTENTION: ArmA closed or crashed, restarting. goto arma Method 2 - In Development Application I made this small application for watching my server and restarting it when/if it crashes! I also added a feature to restart the hive every x minutes. Keep in mind its still in the works!! [Version 1.0] -Released [Version 2.0] -Fixed issues with my bad math skills -Fixed issues where it might launch the server over and over -Added a scary skin -Added ability to restart server every x hours -Added ability to use launch parameters -Added ability to save settings -Added logging to text file -Changed hive auto restart to hrs instead of minutes [Version 3.2] -Started over on the entire application. Made it much more universal -Changed Everything [Version 3.3] -Did a lot of code cleaning. Things run much smoother now. -Some UI tweaks. No need for colors, just useless code. -It now checks to see if the server is responding. If not, kills it. -It logs EVERYTHING now. -Now added check for BEC. [Quick Fix 3.3.1] -Fixed issues where the config file might save a number for the counters that was invalid. It also now displays the correct values in the settings menu instead of milliseconds. Notes: Your settings config and log file will be saved to the directory that you run the application from. You can run multiple instances of the application but you might have issues saving different settings for different servers. The parameters are the ones of your usual start up batch file! Example of Parameters: -mod=EXPANSION;ca;@dayz;@CBA;@JayArma2Lib -name=cfgdayz -config=cfgdayz\server.cfg -cfg=cfgdayz\arma2.cfg -profiles=cfgdayz -world=Chernarus -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 Tested Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows 7 http://www.theprogamers.com/stuff/ServerMonitor.exe Regards, Dizzymagoo

Do we have an ETA on the patch to solve these issues?

I never received any sort of notice that there was a new hive, until after I updated to the new patch, rebooted the servers, noticed it, took them down, updated, rebooted the servers again, pissing everyone off. I checked the announcement forum... nothing. I check the servers general forum... nothing. We need notice of this kind of stuff! Unless there is something I am missing, the current solution simply isn't working. Regards, Dizzymagoo

Alfie, I stalk these forums 24/7(Except for the couple hours of sleep I get a day). That's why I was upset about no hive update post! I was on top of the mission file update and the other hive update. But as there was no thread of this one, I got boned... Hard. Ended up with about 12 hours of downtime on my server due to multiple issues. Regards, Dizzymagoo

It should be this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\

Ohhh I didn't know that there was arguments needed for BEC as well. I personally haven't used it so i'm not too familiar about how it works.

What OS are you running? Can you PM me your config file too?
