Torndeco (DayZ)

Have a read @ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/87809-confused-about-servers/ If u are still wondering, answered a similar question there

Updated & using a slightly modifed version of dwarven scripts.txt etc... Need a volunteer to try out the miltary flashlights and see if u get kicked or not from trying to mount them on your shoulder & removing it afterwards thx...

Just getting my private vilayer hive setup this weekend myself. So i havent run into any issues yet... Just remember the dayz community scripts dwarven makes are for offical hive & not for the private hives. So it is very possible they will kick u falsely.... i.e shoulder mounted flashlights (not in offical servers) I am currently gonna to search about updating the scripts.txt or i prob end up altering dwarven scripts to work etc... Anyway u really need to supply people with enough info to help u out. i.e where are u getting the updated scripts from & what script restrictions are people getting kicked for ?

Hacker overwrites normal heli explosions <inserts his hack> Hacker trigggers his new heli explosions <logs just show a standard heli explosion script> Admin looks at logs <nothing shows up in logs, expect a standard heli explosion> Heli explosions are nice for hackers to abuse since them appearing in remoteexec.log & other clients is normal behaviour. This is basicly what the recent fcking battleye update is for, to prevent hackers from doing that. edit:- So if u dont have a publicvariable.txt setup properly, u wont get any usefull log info if hacker using an overwritting PV method to hack your server.

Yes i know sigh... U were worried about it relating to cheaters overwriting public variables. i.e the quote/comment u mentioned in your first post. I pointed u to the new filter file that addresses this new technique of scripters / hackers to bypass detection. This was added so admins can log / kick / ban players for altering publicvariables. edit:- Anyway u really should be kicking for BIS Effects, so worrying over if its some hacking is a non-issue. They get kicked before anything happens & if they try something else later u ban them for it

Cheaters overwritting PublicVariable is what the latest battleye change was for... i.e the new filter file publicvariable.txt http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?138736-Introducing-Server-side-Event-Logging-Blocking&p=2207051&viewfull=1#post2207051

DayZ Servers = Server u are playing on in the normal sense Hive = Where your character location / stats / inventory is saved to. player -> server -> hive This way when u play on a server one day, u can log off. Play again later & continue from where u left off at, regardless of what server u are on. ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Private hives are basicly using a different hive/server to save character info at. So yes they are kinda like having another profile in away. I would compare it to playing a mmo that is sharded. Also the servers using private hives, arent tied to the same dayz server rules. So the admins can kick / ban whoever they want & have global chat on etc... Some servers will have there own individual private hives & some will share the same private hive For example servers starting with DayZLingor & DayZChernarus use vilayer's own private hive, ---------------------- ---------------------- Also if u want to just play on offical servers & save yourself some confusion. Select "Hide Unoffical Servers" in Dayz-Commander u will only see servers using the offical hive.

Btw u are able to raise the battleye ping limits yourself. note:- U should manually delete your BEServer.cfg file once your server is reset & running. U do this to prevent hackers from uploading the file to get your rcon password. ---------------- ---------------- As for server locations i fell for that one myself, but thats what i get for not paying attention and rushing to order a server. If u look @ their site, u can look-up their data-center locations @ http://www.vilayer.c...atacenters.html When u order it specfies Location Routing , routing is the key word there... U got your server @ france & they have adjusted the ip / routing to benefit uk players. Arma2 is heavy client side, so ping times is not an major issue compared to other FPS, i.e i live in ireland and rented 2 server's in USA & play with 100+ ping no problems.

Just remove the damn thing already :) It is just used mainly to grief fresh spawned players trying to get into buildings... That and most servers restart ever 6 hours means it just comes back again to annoy people.

Last i checked they are mainly based @ UK, so update was released at like 5-6pm. Then u factor in time before someone notices the dayz update... It was a surprise release i believe, didnt know it was coming out... That only gives them afew hours to notice the update, package it up & test it out on some servers, & then upload the packaged update to there various datacenters. So give them some time to get it done

Read that thread aswell myself, as i am currently having an issue / problem with my hfb server... Not exactly inspiring confidence if someone went and deleted the thread outright

Small question, due to rise of private servers... Will DayZ CBL be taking in bans / log extracts from private servers i.e lingor Or is it just gonna be offical dayz servers Thx

Dayz-Commander will remove them from the server list after they are inactive for abit.... Try do a server search after u refresh all servers... Your favorite list is stored locally & nothing gets deleted from favourites till u remove it. Just incase your server comes back & that way no worrying about dayz-commander messing up your fav list...

http://arma2.swec.se/server/data/282565 Its been down 4 days & theres are 4 other servers running atm from the same ip. So chances are the admin was paying for a managed server & cancelled it. Looks like u will just have to go look for a new home i am afraid....

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?138736-Introducing-Server-side-Event-Logging-Blocking&p=2207051&viewfull=1#post2207051 40:328 etc are the network id [0,0,0] = spawn position

All 3 go into your battleye folder i.e \cfgdayz\BattlEye\

Basicly if u use the filters @ http://code.google.com/p/dayz-community-banlist/source/browse/#git%2Ffilters Then its alot easier just to look at the text file for cheaters. Recommend also u should sign up @ http://dayz.io/adminZ// One of the main advantages of the forum is asking fellow admins about logs entries.

What i find weird is how it takes a couple of days to sort out what should be simple ftp / file permission access rights. Or manually alter it for those effected Basicly if u are effected u cant update your bans / scripts etc Which basicly screws up admins main ability to maintain their ban list and try to stop hackers over this. Unless they are willing to use rcon add/remove bans individual, pray it saves to the file, and no using an update version of CBL banlist either Anyway i will be closing my hfb server over this one, last straw and all that. ------------------- ------------------- Small note for hfb since someone from hfb responded. U make a copy & randomize server.cfg name to prevent hackers download the file = good U leave the original server.cfg file behind with no way to delete it = completely negates above U dont give option to turn of log rotation = why not ? U rotate scripts.log at server reboots = nice feature U dont rotate createvehicle.logs remoteexec.logs = why noone bother to add this yet, take a whole 2 mins, its a pain in the arse, especially if u want server to reboot ever 6 hours

Due to current offical dayz bugs & recent new provider issues. US 819 will be shutting down around the 12th September... Thx to the regulars & even the annoying person that threw the barbed wire @ cherno firestation. Took me awhile to figure out how to remove that one Am considering a dedicated server in the future, but that wont be up in time

Anyone able to check if they still got ftp access to view files in thier Battleye folder ? i.e with an external ftp client... (not via the webpage) Kinda wondering if its just my server thats screwed up again, or if its a new change from hfb.

After u updated the files did u either log into server via rcon afterwards and issue the console commands loadscripts loadevents Or did u restart the server ? Reupload the files again, restart the server & u should be good. There is no need to edit the files anymore, they will work off the bat edit:- If that doesnt work update battleye manually, if u dont have access either file a support ticket with your host provider. or if u are able to reinstall dayz on the server i.e on hfb/vilayer downgrade to 1.2.7.4 & then upgrade back to 1.2.7.5 & upload the files again & battleye should update itself again by itself

@LiveBUNKERKING its barely been a day since u put up the issue. have some patience, sure someone will prob look at it over the weekend for u.

Err pretty sure u cant pick & choose at will.... i.e i dont have choice on a vilayer server to change to the private one... If u send in a support ticket i am sure they might switch u between the package deals if u ask But its not like they will let u switch at free will between the different hives, as that risks getting blacklisted. i.e u arent meant to shutdown servers when an admins log off for the night, sure that applys to switching hives. ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Anyway if u look @ their site its 2 completely different package deals, 1 ) offical dayz server package 2 ) private server package with option of changing maps from chernarus to lingor and apparently dayz-commander, will have abilty to install dayz lingor soon which will be nice addition The thing i am curious about is the private hive shared between all vilayer private dayz servers or is it seperate one for each server Note:- I dont work for vilayer, just rent a managed server from them & read the emails from them

Honestly i think the hive should filter out items that arent in offical dayz, that would solve most of the hacked in weapons problems. Would stop them from getting into player circulation as easy & then admins could just focus on banning people for spawning. Also after a server restart all the hacked in weapons dissappear then = problem solved... Atm i am very tempted to hunt through my logs (keep backups) and find the person that setup a tent outside electro on sniper hill with just an as50 tws & saved it. Now there is a hacked in gun that keeps reappearing after server restarts == very annoying & nothing i can do about it. I am actually happy when vechiles & tents etc dont spawn after a server restart :P

If u got your GUID, u should raise an issue @ http://code.google.com/p/dayz-community-banlist/issues/entry Change the title so it says something like "ban appeal" so better chance of a faster reply & dont forget to add your GUID
