Admins are supposed to run servers for a community of players not themselves and thier buddies. Need an official dayz admin code of conduct and agreement imo if you want to make sure all admins with admin access on any server know thier rights. when I grant rights I always give my admins a list of rules on what they can and cannot do and then give them a trial run for about a week where I watch them stealthily before I allow them to admin when Im not looking. thats what server owners need to do. you cannot trust your regular community members not to be retards. admins really need to be over 18 imo. I mean its silly but once your over 18 you generally have a little more up top when it comes to being sensible. on top of that any server owner needs to maintain a point of contact with the community on a games official forums to address issues that crop up there rather than just ignoring them or hanging on your own forums. if you rely on your admins word of mouth for info and one of them is getting complaints. chances are you will never hear about it.

actually i saw a mod lock and apparently send the message to the devs but he seemed to be inferring they won't even look at it. soo... methinks devs need to have a crackdown soon.

I wish the dayz staff would quit trying to push six on people. its so broken, ive solved more friends installation problems than i can easily count on two hands thanks to that damn thing.

you realise as soon as you said that rinaun you got this thing labled for moderation and swift deletion. just saying.

unlinked hive servers are fantastic imo. far superior in speed and stability than the central database ones. yeah theres a greater chance of admins doing stupid stuff or people taking advantage of privelaged status. but. if there were lots of them like there are for other games people would just do the old. move to a different server method of playing the game. you know.. like we all used to do... back in the old days? and... theres also a crapload of them masquerading as regular dayz servers right now in case you guys had not noticed. if you join a server and suddenly find you have started from scratch... theres a high possibility your on one XD you also might have noticed it took you about 10 seconds to get in as opposed to several minutes. but yes i agree multiple official hives with one or two per country are the way to go. otherwise your just going to get the crap ddos attacks constantly and repeatedly. a central database is the WEAKEST method of running a database from a stability, security and database saftey standpoint. Im also sure rocket could easily get the major server providers like vilayer, hfb ect. to host up some servers just to run hive on.

theres a youtube vid by the guy who released the hacks everyone uses. it has all the scripts they use in a link. cannot remember the link. but you would find all of the relevant stuff there methinks. amusingly. Im actually using parts of some of those hacking scripts in an admin mod I am making XD so they can see where people are, teleport ect. none of that silly stuff though.

ive seen people do it 30+ times its rediculous.

damn rule monkeys all up in these forums. go do something constructive instead of nit picking.

I think the standard EVE online response works for this thread. HTFU CUPCAKE.

actually bottle rocket if you bothered to read the changelog of 1.7.2 you would see they are patching out bones being brittle as they are too brittle.

1.7.1.5 is fairly solid although I went through about a day of play where every 5 minutes I was breaking bones from zombie hits. luckily I had friends nearby with morphine XD broke my bones about 5 times. known bug, being fixed next update.

mmm totally legit, I agree. *nothing to see here. move along gentlemen*

man If only the database had item tracking. then this kind of stuff just wouldnt happen :< plus you could totally track a gun across multiple users to see how long items stayed in game :D or more importantly. who first owned hacked weapons :P

game can lock up on session lost while unconsious. this is due to the disable user input that is being run while unconsious I think. needs to enable user input on session lost or something otherwise you have to alt F4

heh not allowed. who is going to stop them? the internet police? wake up mate.

good luck catching up on that. looks like you should hire a support company to deal with your admin stuff.

pretty sure server runs off the servers clock. not sure you need permission to change that as it is not part of day z but your computers settings :)

its the same list... also. six launcher LOL god that thing is broken as hell

ignore the elitist retards that post like they know anything round here man. most of them have no idea what they are talking about. gluck with setting up a server.

as I said, find a reliable host. these guys sound like amateurs. oh lol its run by dayz devs. just like most of the other server "hosts" that advertise on these forums. that would be right.

by wanting to help get servers up and running they mean pay ausarma to help pay for new boxes :P

you won't find anything :) well. if you see CLEANING UP CHEATER VEHICLE or something similar you know cheaters are attempting to spawn vehicles/use them ect. but chances are you won't see thier names anywhere. this game is pretty crap in terms of administration/cheat logging or any of the modern conveniences of most servers with detailed verbose logs. (not just talking about dayz here. arma is just not admin friendly as it is built as a SIM not an arcade/fps) someone needs to come up with a logging option so the server logs things better :< and stuff to allow admins in the lobby to go deal with a cheater if someone witnesses something, rather than attempting to travel across the 255x255km map on foot.

Id start looking for a new host. any host that does that is on its way down.

you cannot fit primary guns into your starting backpack they just dissapear, thats the actual bug. me and my friends found heaps of bugs: items consumed in vehicles do not get used up properly combining ammunition re-sets its count so you can have infinite clips ect ect ect. tis alpha. this kind of thing goes in the bug report section anyhow.

heh allowed.
