Weird, when I looked at the arma 2 online server list I only saw one. http://arma2.swec.se/server/list. Search for US 865 in states waiting, playing, and down. All the 865 entries are the same server, just launched on a different port. My guess as to why there are multiple entries is that the server started over itself and the ports weren't free, so it launched on another port. And unfortunately I don't believe there is a way to "retrace your steps." :(

The naming scheme requires them to do so. Not everyone follows it though (they really should). The tags are explained here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15359-server-tags-demystified-how-to-find-the-right-server/

As far as I see there has only ever been one US 865. Tents survive restarts as long as you save them in the scroll wheel options. If you do not save them on a regular basis, they will vanish. Tents that are unused for x amount of time are also automatically removed from the database.

AFAIK, Dwarden mentioned that VON is actually P2P. So having it on or off won't really affect lag either way :) Good luck with your server!

Did you guys save the bus and tent in the scroll wheel options for those objects?

Usually with managed servers you are unable to do so. Do you have FTP access to both your server.cfg and expansions folder?

I'm not sure what time zone you are in, but it looks as if a couple of them run on GMT+2. http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/eu/cest.html So that may be part of the reason. It also looks like some of the ANZ servers are owned by different people. So at least one of them might be on their own time zone.

As Legacy said, not an admin ability. Make sure to provide as much information for the admin of US 88 as possible. (which it sounds like he's already on top of it). Time stamps, descriptions of who died are all helpful. I wish you luck in getting them branden.

I suppose if you have control you could stop the server at nights, but the whole point of running a DayZ server is to get that whole night/day cycle experience. You'd probably not have many people wanting to come back if they didn't have access to their stuff at nights. A dedicated server is meant to run 24/7. If you don't have the monthly bandwidth, perhaps hosting a server isn't the most ideal situation. :(

It's a silly debug message, from what I understand it was supposed to be changed, but it didn't happen in this release. I can't remember what it actually means, they talked about it in IRC before, but I'm on a mobile device and don't have access to chat logs. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

Sounds like we'll lock it to the same difficulty as US 10 and keep the time difference. Thanks for the input everyone. You're helping shape the future of DayZ for this community. :thumbsup:

I think the desired effect you want is FriendlyTag=0; in your difficulty file. This won't draw the hand thing anymore, but it'll still show the name of the item you cursor over. I could be mistaken though. It doesn't seem like there are flags for people name tags and item name tags. I think it all groups under FriendlyTag (because survivors are all on the same team). Also apparently disabling crosshairs disables FriendlyTag according to the wiki? FriendlyTag=1; // Displays information on friendly units. ONLY WORKS WITH 'Weaponcursor=0', eg crosshair on. Orcworm is pretty much correct from what I understand. The exact definition of armor in the comments is as follows: // Gives you improved body armor, tank armor etc

Thank you all for your input so far. Very helpful. B)

So I'm debating what I should do with US 870 ruleset wise. We already shifted it 12 hours so you can play during the day when it's night in Chicago, but I'm not sure if there should be any additional changes to it compared to US 10. We were discussing the possibility of enabling 3rd person, but it seems like many people are against that. Thoughts? Should even the time be different from US 10?

If there isn't that many slots taken, then yes should be easy to reconnect. BEC will kick lobby idlers regardless of the amount of people in the server. It's not the admin abusing powers, it's just the admin software running it's routine. If you want to suggest it as a feature though, I recommend talking to the guy here: http://forums.bistud...quot-Admin-Tool

Whoa, talk about an old thread getting necro'd. :P It depends on the script being run to be honest (and what it contains). You'll even have cases where it won't show up because people have been using bypassers. So further digging is required.

The newest beta also has BE packaged with it (as did 95054), so that will probably solve your headaches too. I'd recommend installing 95099 once BE supports it. BE status for the new beta patch posted here: http://forums.bistud...(1-61-MP-build)

We reboot servers 5-6 hours a day and as sticky said we give warnings 10, 5, 2, and 1 minute(s) in advance. :) Ander does a pretty good job at wiping old tents and items like barbed wire and sand bags. But yeah, a complete reset would be nice at some point down the road. Have you tried manually updating battleye with the client .dll? http://www.battleye.com/download.html - Get the client one for 94945+ and put it in Expansion\Battleye (backup the old BEClient.dll before overwriting it). We'll also be updating the server to the 95099 beta soon (once it's supported by BE).

Updated the OP and added info on both of our servers.

You will get blacklisted if you try to do this. Servers already have for it.

Server was down for about 15 minutes while I attempted to update to the new beta, my power went out in mid operation so I had to get on my phone and roll back the changes until I have more time to see went wrong. Sorry about the downtime.

Ban Update: I have banned a hacker for running player killing scripts about an hour ago. I was notified of the situation by a regular on the server and I responded quickly. I figured you guys should know about it to prevent any possible cheating reports that may pop up. B)

Server is updated to 1.7.2.3, new beta will come once BE supports it. EDIT: We're also testing the performance of 60 slots.

Hey everyone, I figured we should have a central place to post suspect script logs. I can even update the OP to keep track of confirmed exploiters (once Tonic chimes in on the final word or whoever is responsible for anti-cheats on the team). That way we have a central list of people we found running bad scripts so they can be added to the official ban list. Also working on a google doc here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgcDCzWfiNxrdDRPTXVDVG1CM0V6Z2l2TEJ0ZzRPTGc (Google doc discontinued because Tonic has a phobia of spreadsheets :P)

This is my answer: (spoiler alert: JSON)
