I can't wait to see this. The other thing I would like, if it isn't too late, is an easy way to ban hackers when I find them in the log. The rcon tool I use now, I can't even do that. I can only ban active players. I have to go in and manually add the ban. Also, I do a lot of software testing at my work. If you need some testers, I can help. And I'll do more than, 'this is great!' or 'this suck!', promise. Looking forward to it. Thanks!!

I had a hacker last night blowing stuff up everywhere with pipe bombs. Just found the log files. But when I look through the server_console log, it doesn't show him logging in. Which means, I'm guessing, he bypassed battleye. So my question is, if I ban him, will it even keep him off the server? After all, he doesn't log in through battleye, correct? Which means battleye never checks his guid against my ban library. Am I thinking right?

Link? Please?

Awesome. Thanks, guys!

Just purchased an HFB server, and I'm trying to update it. I've gone through the list and updated things line by line, but as soon as I update the next in line, the previous acts as if it hasn't been updated. It goes through the motions as if it is updating, but my server is sitting at 1.7.2.3 instead of the 1.7.2.6 I'm trying to get it to. I'm pretty sure I'm doing things correctly as when I update the arma 2 version, it does show as changed on dayz commander. Just not the dayz version...any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing?

We just set up our server yesterday, and I'm trying to figure all of this out. Our main purpose of getting our own server is to be able to deal with hackers better. I know this takes a lot of monitoring, but where do I look? I've got the scripts, I've got the createvehicles.log, where else do I need to look? I've been reading through those today in hopes of trying to see what is normal and what isn't, but is there some place where I can see what scripts are normal and what aren't? Also, here are a few scripts that I found questionable....am I right in suspecting hacking?

And they did, and they fixed it. Thank you, Kiotie!

noiradle, i'm having some issues, too, and added you to my steam, hoping you could help. hope that wasn't presumptuous!

This may be better suited for an Arma 2 board, but I thought I'd see if any of you had ideas. I have a clan member who runs Windows xp. I don't know all of his system specs, unfortunately, but his sound is onboard sound, I know that, and it's an out-of-box computer, not a built one. He had no issues with the game until a few days ago, when he updated an arma patch. Now he has no sound in the game or in Arma 2 or Arma 2 OA. I did some troubleshooting with him, it's not his sound in game or his system sound. Looking up fixes for it, they say that sometimes it can kick your sound for the game down, and you can adjust it by going to your individual sound settings. But XP doesn't have that ability....any ideas? He has uninstalled and reinstalled the game, same issue. This is the only game he's having sound issues.

I've come across them more then once, with tons of copies of weapons in them. Is there anyway to destroy the ammo boxes, the way you destroy a tent?

The last four times I've been hit by hackers, the server has restarted running back to my body. Is it the extra scripts or whatever causing the restarts? Do the hackers do something? Or is it just really bad luck? P.S. Stay away from DE 1717. Trust me.

Remove it until it can be fixed. Keep it once it is.

Has she died and done the same thing? Aren't lingor island maps separate from the main hive? Could she have accidently selected a male character? I have no problem with my female character on lingor island. However, I have at two different times not had a chance to select my character and spawned as a male. When I died, I could rechoose, though. If she hasn't died on lingor island yet, I would guess that she will be able to select next time she dies.

Not a rant, just a general question. My clan and I are trying to settle on a few servers. We've had tons of glitches, but only a few hackers. We've been playing on two successfully without much incidence for the past couple of weeks. However, tonight, we got hit by two different hackers within a three hour span of time, both on the same server. I know that hacking is fairly prevalent, but do you find that the hacking is completely random, or do you find that some servers get hit more often than others? We were going to make this server our main server, but now we're not so sure....

Which is funny that you all say that, because it was a European server with 11 people in (6 my clan) and we got hit by artillery strikes and then by someone who could see exactly where we were (we came back and killed him and he had a car and a crate with 40 copies of every gun, so we know he was a hacker). But thanks for the input, everyone.

And knowing my luck, I would spawn on the coast of Elektra my one life and BAM! Hit by snipers.

Hasn't happened to me, but has happened to several in my clan. It's different than the spawn on the coast glitch after you have to close the game with the task manager. It's just random, everything was closed correctly. No bandaid, nothing. Usually, they log in and spawn in the middle of the desert. Then they log out and back in, and they're on the coast, but have nothing.

Did NOT work for myself or the three in my clan who tried it. We all had nvidia.

My boyfriend is a paramedic who works seven days on and seven days off. He has a computer at the station and one at home. But when he logs in at the opposite place, it always kills his character and he starts fresh. Is there a way he can make it so that his character stays no matter where he is?

Okay. He's having several issues with the game, and I'm wondering if we can just fix his account correct, that it will work properly. Thanks for your help.

We've placed several tents on our server of choice, but after each upgrade, they seem to disappear. Is this a glitch? Do to the upgrade? Or are we just placing tents in horrible spots?

We all died, every one of us on the server but one, and we weren't by each other. Then we were heading to our bodies to reloot, ran from elektro to cherno, and then we got the script message. And now we can't join any servers. Were the deaths from this update, too? Because losing our crap that way really sucks.

I'm having the same problem. Three of us tried to find a server as our main one had extremely low fps for all of us. And we couldn't get any of them to load. They just sit there. At the loading we screen. We tried probably 15. And some were ones we'd been in before. And we use DayZCommander. We had to update dayz commander today, and now the latest patch is installing. Hoping this fixes the loading screen.

Date/Time 8/11/12, around 6:00 MST What happened: Was in the medic tents in Cherno, leaned over to pick up loot, fell over unconscious with broken bones, massive blood loss, bled out before I woke up. Where you were: The small medic tent just to the north of the medic tents What you were doing: See above Current installed version: 1.7.2.4 for dayz, 95417 on Arma Server I was on: 216.244.87.170:2342 If you really need my system specs for this, I'll give them. Went back to my body, it was a blank body. No way it could have been a player as the enterance was right next to a building wall. And I don't think it was an explosive because I had been in that same tent to kill a zombie, just forgotten to loot it, so I went back.

My friend I was playing with has this issue. We were all killed by a hacker last night (5 of us) but he respawned a fresh character just fine, found some stuff, and made it to starry, where he logged out in pretty much full health. Missing some blood, but still above 10000. Today, he logs in, and he is immediately unconcious for about 5 minutes. He's had to log out several times for the graphics glitch, and every time, it's a five minute knock out. We can't epi pen him or get anything from his body when he's unconcious. We play on FR111. We'll try the broken leg thing mentioned in another thread tomorrow, but if it isn't fixed, he's just going to give us all of his stuff and commit suicide.
