Yeah I figured that the hacker wouldn't teleport himself into the mass chaos, just everyone else. That server.log has absolutely every single person that was currently on the server being teleported to one location, aside from the one person I posted details about. He was unaffected.

I disagree with giving admin the ability to track players. That's an unfair advantage and will be easily abused. Unfortunately though, I have heard that the next patch (tomorrow) will reduce the amount of data stored in RPT. I believe they'll be getting rid of coordinates and such anyhow.

Yeah, bail on that server. Take a step back and think about the situation... It's the logical move.

Just because a group of clan members are in the server, doesn't mean they actually own/administrate it...

I believe this topic needs to be locked, clearly nothing productive is coming from it. There could be two reasons why you're banned. You may still be utilizing the original CD-KEY from your previous installation. I'm not exactly sure how to alter it, I presume it's somewhere in your registry. It could also be Battleye banning your IP address as well, though this I can't verify. Good luck! Hacker scum.

That's more of a DayZ problem then a server issue. I'm hoping that things have been a lot smoother since the recent update. Also note: If you put down a tent, try and wait for a server reboot before placing any items in them.

Hey, thanks for the post and I appreciate the review. If there's anything wrong with the server, or if anyone has an issue, please feel free to contact me via TeamSpeak 3, I'm typically always there. If I'm AFK, just leave me a message in the chat.

The only issue I have with this is the fact that hackers may find/gain the ability to add passwords or lock servers without actually knowing the RCon password. It's a great idea, but it's also an awful one until something's done about the hackers.

I'm fairly sure they plan on branching off and starting a standalone engine for DayZ.

I mean, there's so many ways to dupe things. I had to figure out how to do it just so I could stop doing it because it was happening at random so often. I agree, it's making the game a bit dull, my solution would be to avoid hanging out with your friends (kill them if you have to), play on your own in a different server. It's a bit of a generalization to think everyone's doing it, I'm not (purposely) and neither are all my friends.

That's about right...

If Battleye has not detected the hacker initially, allowing him to roam around the server for a few hours isn't going to help in any way. It's not like Battleye is actively collecting this guy's data, it doesn't even know he's doing something wrong to begin with. Like I've said, I've only banned hackers who blatantly spawn shit in front of me. I can't even get the guy who teleports everyone to a single location because it's pure chaos in those situations. Also, another reason why it's become difficult to catch the teleporting hackers is because now they teleport you into a confined area with a ton of zombies, they don't do any of the killing, the zombies do.

I woke up this morning to find that my server's side chat had been enabled and that it was switched to veteran difficulty. I'm the only one with the 10 character and complicated RCon password. Grrrr!

Right click the Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead game in Steam and goto properties. Select "Local Files" tab and finally click on verify integrity of game cahce. Also, try running steam as administrator.

I went to join my server (Query for US 382) and a second server popped up. Is this a thing? I figured all the US / CA / ETC codes were unique. I mean, don't get me wrong I love me some Team Liquid, but they totally jacked my US code xD

Positive. But it seems they've just now changed their US code to something different. So all is well again!

Is the RCon portion of this program working yet? What features do connecting via FTP have, if any? Update: nevermind, I see a previous post that had already answered my quest. It's not functional yet. I'm glad someone's taking the time to develop this kind of tool though, thanks again!

DAMN those people. I do understand where you're coming from. Give us admin an inch and some douche will take a mile. Not all admin are awful, I've personally lost all my crap on multiple occasions, including vehicles I've repaired. I've never once Alt+F4'd or aborted. I take my death, learn from my mistake and continue on. Note, I do quit and come back every time a military base appears due to that graphic issue being fixed in the next patch, god I hate that thing. But some of these players are taking advantage of the strict ban/kick system and openly exploiting the way DayZ is envisioned. I mean they're literally taking a dump on said vision, it's ridiculous how blatant some people are while cheating/exploiting.

Yeah! These are some solid rules and I agree with all of them. I think people are just suggesting adding one or two more reasons for banning people, like when someone's ghosting around the map every time they see a player or are shot at. Oh, and possibly to do something to defend all those players from being teleported to one spot and being mowed down by a weapon that they spawned in. It's not an awful thing to ask for. Well ok, maybe it is when it's asked for about 1000 times but who's fault is that really?

Check your scripts.log via ftp (Mine's located in /cfgdayz/BattlEye/scripts.log) or wherever. Open it with Notepad++ (or whichever text editor you use) and look for the name posted above. Post his GUID/IP/ETC

I just ban any hackers that are blatantly doing so (spawning items/vehicles right in front of me) from my server *shrug* if they have the balls to come back to these forums and complain then so be it. I could just start a website that allows members to submit proof + guid/name/ip and start a database of all the known hackers out there and have all the server owners ban them manually via their bans.txt in dayzcfg. Sure we would lose our gear multiple times in this process, but eventually all their credentials will be had and banned. If the devs of this mod have an issue with that? Then obviously this isn't a game worth putting much time/money into.

I'd say that it's not ok, I'd drop it where no one will find it to get rid of it. (or destroy said tent).

I believe you didn't 'order' anything, you submitted an application to run a server. Whether or not you'll actually be accepted is up to the DayZ team. It was also the weekend, which is when people with jobs typically take some time for themselves. Wait for a bit longer, I'm sure you'll hear back from them soon enough.

This guide is wonderful. I'll be testing it under a full server later tonight. I can say that right now (with about ten people) the server loads about 10 times faster. Thanks!

I've decided to start banning players that do this (ghosting) trick. As an owner of a server I feel this exploitation is ban worthy. I have zero tolerance for this nonsense. Perma ban from my server to anyone who gets caught doing it. If you don't want to perma-die and lose your gear, feel free to find yourself another game. Don't be a pansy, take your death with honor and dignity.
