@DMstratz - I'd like to agree with you, but we've been joining US servers and it's night time all day (since around noon pacific time).I found one day time server, but that was it.

Question to the group, the server is up and running, rMod is installed, but I'm trying to figure out how to edit the actual map. We are trying to build a "Central Outpost" of sorts, for players to be able to access. We're going for the docks in Cherno. Having that said, sandbags just doesn't do it for us. I'd like to build ACTUAL fortifications, similar to what they show in the video for rMod. Walls like those used in the "Thunderdome" we've all been forced into so many times, only not boxes high. Just 1 box high. I've already unpacked the pbo file, snagged the mission file out of it and opened it in the 2d mission editor, but I'm not sure how to actually place things. Anyone got any ideas? If this just WILL NOT work, I guess we can go with just sandbags and tank traps and such, but I'd like so much to be able to actually build a new interesting place on the map to really make it a different experience. Yes, I'm aware this is not normal DayZ. I'm aware that the DayZ guys will likely not like this. I'm not asking them for help. Thanks in advance.

Server Info 199.241.184.194:2332 DayZ Panthera - Hell In North Carolina (v1.7.3/build 98220) [VETERAN|3DP:OFF|CH:OFF][GMT-6] - hosted by AetherGames.us TeamSpeak Info address: ts3.aethergames.us:10437 password: Welcome123 (only passworded to prevent the public list trolls from joining) Server Time Zone US Central Time Server Restart Schedule Every 6 hours starting at midnight Rules Side Chat currently enabled (this may change at some point but not now). No voice in side chat (you will be kicked). No griefing the server. In general, don't be a douche. Don't come in screaming racist remarks into side chat, or typing them for that matter. This isn't COD. Go back there if you want to act that way. Additional Details This server is entirely about you, the player. We want to have fun, and we want our players to have fun. We've had admins in the past who played the "it's my house my rules" game before, and I let it slide for a while, but I pay for the server, so now it's my rules. My rules state, players can play when they want and how they want. The only exceptions to that are the rules listed above, and that's to keep a level of respect in the server. No randome restarts, if you kill an admin, they won't be rebooting the server to try and get their stuff back, or their helicopter/uaz/bus/INSERTVEHICLEHERE back. That doesn't fly. In game, admins are no different than you. Players of the server. Come join us. Feel at home, and register on our site. That let's me poll the users at random to talk about changes, updates, etc... Website: www.aethergames.us See you out there. :)

Just add the IP and Port to your favorites list in DayZ Commander.

Update: Changed map to Panthera.

Morning bump to the top.

Like I said, I let em go because they were paying for the server, but I'm done with that. Done with the bullshit and the arguments. Come, play, and enjoy.

Why is the server awesome? Constant admin presence, latest anti-cheat software, private hive (no ghosting). We've setup a trade center and safe zone, medical services, mechanic services, merc services, and pretty much we are willing to help with whatever you need help with...as long as you're willing to provide the coin. 50 player max Battleye enabled - BEC enabled Teamspeak available for those who wish to join Side Chat enabled VON enabled - but you will be kicked if you spam side chat Kill messages are enabled (makes catching hackers easier). Come join, call us home and hang out! Careful though...if you think you feel someone watching you...I can't guarantee the crosshairs aren't on the back of your neck. We are not whitelisting at this moment, but will be in the future. To ensure you are on the whitelist, let us know at www.aethergames.us Thanks guys!

Hey guys! So a few of us want to start up a community. We all have fun playing together, and we're always on the lookout to find more players to play with. As of right now, we have a teamspeak server and a website hosted by enjin, and that's about it lol. Anyway, having this said, we're all adults - 18 - 38. You can play whatever games you want, none of this YOU WILL PLAY BF3/COD/ARMA2/LFD bs. Come hang out. Play what you want. If we like it, we'll play it with you. The majority of us play BF3 and ArmA 2/DayZ together already. We play Trine, Total War, LFD, Borderlands, and some of us will be starting a Guild Wars 2 clan up at launch. I am hoping to start a DayZ server if we get enough donating members as I'm not willing to throw $75/mo towards a server out of my own pocket. I want to run a kind of RPG style DayZ server. More details can be given out in TS as it gets kinda long, but it seems like it would be fun. We are willing to start BF3 servers if they become warranted. Again, this isn't some "clan". This is a community. We want a group of guys who enjoy gaming as much as we do and who are willing to maybe branch out and try new games, instead of lone-wolfing it up 100% of the time. Here are our rules: No drama. Keep your baggage at the door. Seriously. No kids. Sorry guys, but we're grown ups and play like them. That's pretty much it. Just come, play, hang out and join us and have fun guys. PM for TS info, or see our webpage at http://aetherservices.enjin.com

So, we started kick/banning people after we got griefed. Long story short, we were trying to setup a bit of an RP system on the server, and got griefed by hackers. We asked players to leave while we fixed the server, no one did. So we kicked. People rejoined. Kicked again, they rejoined again...that time we banned. A lot of people ended up getting banned all over. Currently we are setting a new private server on a dedicated box, no ViLayer hives, completely controlled by us. We are using rMod, and will be whitelisting players. Originally I Wanted to charge players $5 a month to play on the server, to ensure that hackers just fucked right off. Reasoning? Hackers aren't going to fuck up a server they help pay for. But, Im open to ideas. Please be assured, there was nothing personal meant by any kick/bans on the takistan server. Feel free to join us in Teamspeak. ts3.aethergames.us. Password is Welcome123 (only on there to keep the trolls from joining from the public ts3 lists).

So, I decided to put the issue to bed for the night last night after running into a few issues, and coming back to it today with a fresh start. I have the new map saved. I have the mission PBO from my server unpacked. I open the server map in the map editor, merge it with the new map with changes and save as a user mission. This does not produce a new PBO as so many guides say so, but that's fine. I use BinPBO to repack all files (.sqm, init, and one other file) back into a PBO. I upload that new pbo back to the server (same name as origin file) and launch DayZ. Lo-and-behold...no changes made. WHAT WRONG LION-O?! SNARF

I'm having an issue saving the map. I click on map from 3d mode, then I click center, then I click group, then I click unit, but it still tells me I need 1 playable unit before saving the map....any ideas? EDIT: Nevermind...placed the unit.

So here's what I'm currently doing. -Exported DayZ mission file from server to my home pc. -Extracted the pbo to a folder -Placed folder into the mpmissions folder in my ArmA 2 documents directory -Open ArmA 2 running both DayZ and rMod mods -Create local server -Load Chernarus Map -Select the DayZ mission -Open the mission in the editor --at this point I run into the roadblock, I can't seem to place anything or edit anything, although I can look at it all day long. Also, opening the mission in the 3d editor doesn't work at all...it just doesn't appear. Do I have to place it in a different location for the 3d editor to work?

As the titles states, Aether Games is looking to start a private server. This server will run off of a white list of players. Likely 40 players or less, running rMod to enable all the fun features therein, running on a dedicated machine. We have admins online at most hours of the day (~20 hours). We're missing 2 things. Players and donations. We're hoping to setup safe zones, medivac services, field hospitals, trading posts, as well as merc work and game days (Hunger Games, Hunting Humans, etc). We're looking to have fun, and we want to have fun with people who don't whine, complain, bitch and moan and generally think that everyone's hacking just because they were killed. We're all adults, and we want to play with players who act like it. We have a teamspeak, a website, and active admins who actively control the servers. We are a fix the problem and find out the details later group. So, having that said, a dedicated server with RDP access is around $140 USD/mo. At 30 active donators, this works out to be just under a $5 donation per month. To be whitelisted, you are required to make a $5 donation per month. This isn't much, and ensures that those who are playing have a monetary investment in the game. You don't have to play any specific way, hell if you wanna lone wolf it the entire time, that's your deal. If you want to be a bandit/murdering psychopath, all the better, it adds color to an otherwise pretty version of minecraft.. Put pay us a visit. We are really looking forward to seeing our player base build. Visit our webpage, get the Teamspeak info, join in, and get to know us. Our website is www.aethergames.us. Also, bring beer.

Hey bobo, we have moved everything to a dedicated server. The TS info I sent you is no longer valid. Sent you a new PM.

I completely agree. Let me know if you're every interested. I'll pm you the Teamspeak info.

We actually just got the machine built today. I'm literally sitting on the phone with Amazon right now trying to figure out why the won't let me purchase another copy of ArmA 2 CO so that we can get it up and running. Swing on by Teamspeak sometime tonight and we'll chat and let you know what's up. I'll throw you the teamspeak info in a pm.

thanks man, wasn't sure where to post it. It's technically a recruitment posting, but it's also strictly about a new private hive server. Thanks for putting this in the right place Fraggle.

Basically, rMod is a completely different game/mod from DayZ. It uses DayZ as a base, but allows admins to reimagine the world how they see fit. Having that said, the stuff above is how we imagine it. Think of something more along the lines of 28 Weeks Later. Less of a completely alone scenario and more of a attempting to rebuild the world scenario. No scripting will be allowed in as Battleye will be turned on. The only reason we're charging $5 isn't to really help pay for the server, but more to ensure that the hackers and griefers don't even join, as it would require SOME kind of investment from them. They aren't in it to pay for something to fuck up, they are just around to screw up everybody's day and laugh about it. I've seen some video's where they got rMod up and running. You can edit the mission files to include new spawn points, items, frequency, etc... and I believe you can even build buildings and fortress's with the mode - prior to ever turning the server on for public consumption. Again, I WANT people to come play, but the $5 is to ensure that A. you care about the server and your gaming experience, and B. puts money in the bank of the community to pay for new fun toys when they come out. I'm not out to make money, and looking into the private hive experience more, looks like we're going to be setting the max players to 30 as the private hives tend to bog down after that. You're welcome to hop on our TS and discuss it with us, or even just hang out and play games with us.

You apparently have no idea what hacking is.

No problem man! Just letting everybody know. It's obviously not required. Thanks for the post though. Each post keeps this up at the top of the forum :)

lol. You guys are really bored huh?

Vote: Yes. Explanation: Barbed wire is at best an annoyance that is easily avoided/removed. At worst, it makes graphical errors and issues that make the game completely unplayable, for some players while not causing an issue for others. There is no single fix that can be rolled out to users on a standardized basis. This breaks the game. I as a player, who does not encounter the graphical glitch am now able to freely kill any player that happens to wonder into an area with barbed wire and vise versa.
