I come home from the beach. It's been a long hot day, but I had a lot of fun! I log into the server via BERcon. I'm talking to a few people in game to check the status of the server when I notice something... odd going on in direct chat. Two people having cyber sex. Sadly it did not say where they were, just what they were entering in text. I would post screenshots, but no. Just no. I did tell them to stop that shit. I know they were able to read it since they, well, stopped. One of them disconnected. The other is still in-game just sitting in the lobby. Oh god.

TX20 Server Admin here, we have side chat enabled with the help of the devs. It's really a request thing, it's not special treatment or anything. Some servers have it enabled, others dont. Rocket would prefer it to be disabled, but doesn't care if it's enabled since it does help new players out tremendously. Is it something that would get a server blacklisted? No. No it's not. Because the mission file was edited by a member of DayZ staff. We don't touch anything besides basic server configs and occasional edits to the dayzcfg file (handles difficulty such as enabling/disabling of third person). All of which is allowed. Until Rocket emails me saying "Hey, we're doing something now that requires side chat to be disabled permanently" we will will continue having the mission file updated to have it enabled. Again, we get this done by a DayZ staff member. We don't touch it because 1) we don't want to break it, 2) don't want to change something that would result blacklisting and 3) could care less about anything else. We don't mind side chat. We do have VOIN (in-game voice) disabled. Because that gets annoying VERY quickly and everyone uses TeamSpeak, Mumble or something similar anyways. It also causes performance problems on some servers. EDIT: The reason we bite heads off is because we do get a lot of players who think they know it all when they don't. We know what we're doing and we will not do anything that will result in the server being blacklisted. Trust us. Some server admins, regrettably, do shit that should get them blacklisted. We're not one of those admins.

We just had a hacker come into our server. Server was shut down briefly to prevent other players from being killed by whoever was hacking on the server. I do apologize if you lost everything because of this, but it's a safety precaution we had to take.

Instead of removing the channel entirely, just disable VOIP on side chat and other channels besides Direct Communication. It makes more logical sense to do that than simply removing the entire channel. Side chat is what everyone uses just to piss around in an "off topic" forum and obviously newbies saying "ANYONE IN CHERNO!?"

Since when was there a 7.1.1? ;)

We told you when you asked and all you did was try to act like you knew everything. Despite us telling you why it was on you kept saying "nope, no. they don't do that. you're wrong."if the devs want to remove it then more power to them. i don't use sidechat and i don't care about it. but quit trying to act like it's a huge conspiracy. if they want it removed we can remove it. Not just that but when you join the server it states in the MOTD that [sD] Hype, [sD] Shaddos, [sD] Brooklyn and KidDeath are the server admins. So like Hype and I both said, we kept telling you and you weren't listening. I'm really not trying to sound like a prick, but I am really getting tired of people not listening to us when we tell them why something is the way it is. Then they come to the forums all like BLACKLIST THIS SERVER or THEY'RE GETTING SPECIAL DEV TREATMENT!!!11!! when we're not. We're following every rule Rocket has in place and we asked to have side chat enabled. It really is a per server basis. If the server admins want it on, they can have it on. Jesus christ. You players act like you know everything when you don't. It's getting really irritating. Just play the game and enjoy it for what it is. EDIT: ALSO. Just an FYI. We used to own Chicago 28. Side Chat was enabled. When we bought the server for TX20, side chat was enabled. It has been enabled this entire time and you want to say something about it now? We've had side chat and everything else since the start of the server and you're now saying something about it. Stop with your trolling and get a life.

Are you seriously going on about this STILL? We asked to have it enabled. It was enabled. ANY SERVER ADMIN CAN DO THIS. THIS IS NOT SPECIAL TREATMENT. Get it through your thick skull. We use 93701 because 93825 kicks people for Script Restriction 16 for some reason (even when it's installed on the server). I told you before and I will tell you again, we are not receiving special treatment. Why do people come straight to the forums to get told the same thing by everyone else. You're seriously starting to piss me off sir.

I need the 1.7.1.1 files. I still haven't gotten access to the downloads page for server admin stuff either. I've tried emailing but haven't received a response. If anyone is allowed to send me the files, I run TX20 so yeah. Let me know! Thanks :)

I don't have access to either of those. My host never provided the information. We're hosted through Host Altitude.

I've tried IRC. No response :( Also there is no dayz_server file on the mirrors page on DayZ.com

Rocket, I really need someone to get ahold of me so I can update TX20 to 1.7.1...

Awesome! Now get someone to contact me because I need that! :| I run the TX20 server and want to update to this immediately.

I still don't have access to half this stuff. Ander or Rocket, can you please reach out to me here on the forums? I'll provide all the information you need. Thanks!

Yeah, but I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to implement. Side chat is useful for people wanting to talk globally, direct communication should be used for people talking locally. In a group or something. EDIT: I had over 100 posts.. since the hacker attack and the roll back.. I have 50 now. SO SAD. ;-;

Zeds and I are talking on TeamSpeak right now. Things are smoothed over and the offending admin was removed from the list.

Here is the run down as to what happened: Cruising with two of the other admins, and two of our friends. We were in the military truck. We were passing through Berezino, didn't hit a damn thing then suddenly the truck stopped, exploded and then the server crashed. I don't know what caused it, but when I remoted in I saw the error and copy pasted it from the logs to here.

I *just* responded to your other post.. I will find out who did it and they will not be an admin anymore. I own and operate the server, I have 3 people who are admins and operate under me. I am one of two people who have remote desktop access, and one of three people who have RCON access. I will find out who did it and will revoke their access completely.

I'm checking the server logs and finding out who did it. I saw your post about the server restarting, that was because of a fault in the application. I don't know who kicked you for suspected of cheating, but I will personally make sure that it doesn't happen again. I didn't care if you were enforcing Rocket's rules, because I follow those too. I was just telling you to calm down because I was online and I was going to take care of it. I saw the same thing happen. I just wanted people to know you're not an admin, y'know?

When did this happen? Because I know that not too long ago the server crashed. The application had an error for some dumb reason. Faulting application name: arma2oaserver.exe, version: 1.60.93.588, time stamp: 0x4fd0c199 Faulting module name: MSVCR90.dll, version: 9.0.21022.8, time stamp: 0x47313dce Exception code: 0xc0000417 Fault offset: 0x0006c955 Faulting process id: 0xb70 Faulting application start time: 0x01cd468022ab7417 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_bcb86ed6ac711f91\MSVCR90.dll Report Id: 0de22a9d-b2c7-11e1-bd59-00155d738b02

Care to keep me posted via PM? If you need any help, I have experience and will be willing to help any way I can.

I love you Drifter, cheer up buddy <3

Texas 1 server admins. Your server keeps restarting or you keep restarting the server. The server was working fine and then boop, restarted. Got back in, 15 minutes later and it restarted again. Stop that. Please.

Yep, I'm responding in the other thread. I'll let you know on Twitter about TX1.

Yep, I just tweeted to you Jonnerz.
