HOWTO: Use publicvariableval.txt to auto-kick players with hacked weapons
PappaFae replied to venthos's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Beans for you. :) -
It's going to take a whole LOT of "blood jobs" to make people like you again....just sayin. <_<

Sounds like it's time to move on to a new host. While not perfect, the server host I use actually suggested we let them change our instance ID when a hacker completely screwed up the server. I said yes and it was done within 10 minutes. So I'm thinking the DayZ dev's are the truthful ones here y'all. =b

[Video] Kamenka Loot Route Tutorial - Before you jump off that lighthouse, consider watching my route from Kamenka to Zelenogorsk.
PappaFae replied to livbythegun's topic in New Player Discussion
Lot's of good stuff in this video. Not only the rout, but some good zombie ditching as well. Good job man. ;) -
LOL that's more than I do. If they come crying on the forums I just ignore them as they aren't worth my time. B) I have noticed that cheaters can be very creative liars though. :rolleyes:

Server Ban for AS50 TWS: Debate
PappaFae replied to melted349's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Just goes to show...there's no debating with supidity. You can't counter my argument so you resort to hate. It's like you have the self esteem of a 13 year old fat girl. Anyway...I've spoken my piece and I'm going to continue protecting my players how I see fit. You have fun kiddo. PappaFae loves you!! -
Server Ban for AS50 TWS: Debate
PappaFae replied to melted349's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
And I'm not...I'm banning for the behavior that possessing it brings to my server. The ability to see someone's thermal signature at over 1500 meters and one shot them is disruptive. Even if the cheater shoots only one person, that's one person's game that was influanced in a disruptive and unfair manner. Here's an example. Last night, some players on my server were flying around in a newly repaired helocopter. I see someone logging in so I check the logs and see that he has a stinger surface to air missile. This is obviously a hacked in weapon. Do I know he hacked it in...no. But I do know if he stays on my server, it will give him an unfair advantage over others and be very disruptive to the people flying around in that chopper. So I instantly ban him with my trusty RCon tool. (this happened twice last night by the way hehe). My job as a server admin is to make sure the people who choose to spend thier time on my server have an enjoyable experience so they continue to support this excellent game. Not to sit there with my thumb up my ass while someone disrupts everyone's fun. I also ban people I see running scripts in the logs even if I don't have video proof. Why? Because I know they are cheating and disrupting my server. And that's all that counts. If you want to let people cheat on your server that's totally your choice. I have no problem with that. Hell, it gives the over 8000 people on my ban list somewhere to play. hahaha -
Server Ban for AS50 TWS: Debate
PappaFae replied to melted349's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
We, as server admins, ARE aloud to ban people for "disruptive behavior". The dev's are very vague on what disruptive behavior is. So for MY server i've decided that having a hacked in weapon is an unfair advantage and hence disruptive. And don't give me YOUR BS interpretation of what disruptive is as it is your opinion and you don't matter (this is the royal you by the way not someone specific). As I'm shelling out the $40/month to run the server, MY opinion does count (on my server). Soooo....people on my server that have been banned with a hacked in weapon were not banned because of the weapon itself, but because that weapon is a disruptive influance. Have a nice day y'all!! -
Server Ban for AS50 TWS: Debate
PappaFae replied to melted349's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
HAHAHAHAHA I love how you scewed the wording of the poll to what you believe and it's still voting against you. My server's MOTD says we will ban you for cheating and we will ban you if we think you might be cheating. I decide what is destuptive to my server and having a AS50 with a thermal scope is very disruptive IMO. I've been doing it this way for a couple months now and guess what....the server is running great and isn't black listed. Just added over 1500 GUID's to my ban list provided by other servers last night and I'll keep doing so until the stand alone comes out. The only thing black listing the server would do is provide one less server for legit players to hang out on and give me an extra $40 / month to play around with. -
If it's like my server, vehicles are not saving. So it's probably back in it's starting spawn point.

Ok...Kiotie...PMed ya. I'd really like to pay you guys...you know?!?
-
Alas, they decided to do this crazyness on the day they were supposed to bill my paypal site. So I get an email saying my server is shut down due to non payment and I can't even get ahold of their customer service to fix it. Pure genius....

We can read just fine. We just don't give a shit. B)

Um...no I didn't...I spelled TOOL not fool. =b

Dev or Rocket, can you confirm
PappaFae replied to Bushman (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Be that as it may. I'll still ban anyone I find with a hacked in weapon from my server. I don't really care what anyone else thinks about it...the regulars on my server don't mind. And don't give me the BS that most people don't know what weapons are legal or not...ignorance is no excuse for the law. Everyone who play's this game has access to the internet. -
I love it when I see people holding one of these when I review my logs. They recieve and instant server ban. If you wanna use this weapon, take it to a server that's run by a tool. :P

Graphics bug persists on my server. I'm running Arma II Beta 95883 Dayz 1.7.2.5 and the 10 friends I've had on (all of whom are running the 95883 beta patch) have seen the graphics bug. I'm also getting quite a few reports of people getting stuck at loading, restarting and finding themselves on the beach in full gear. Plus, none of the vehicles or tents are saving their inventories and the vehicles are not saving their locations after a server reset. (been alot of running around today) =b Hope this helps. PappaFae

1.7.2.5 Tents and Vehicle Inventories not saving.
PappaFae replied to NocturnalS1n's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
This is happening on my server now as well. Vehicles and tents haven't been saving since I updated the server to 1.7.2.5 and beta 95883. Every time I reset the server it brings everything back to what it was a yesterday morning. Host is FHB, but I don't think it's host specific...it seems something is broken between the server and the hive. Thanks PappaFae -
Is this someone attempting to do something naughty on my server?

Thanks Targett. I edited it and will keep that in mind in the future. Here's some beans for the good advice!

How do you fight against an L85 thermal?
PappaFae replied to hassman's topic in New Player Discussion
Bumb rush them on a bike, jump off and hack them to pieces with an axe...that's how I became the guy with an L85. :D In all seriousness, the L85 is highly inaccurate, hits about as hard as a Mackarov and almost useless up close. I only use it for spotting with a partner or at the NW airfield. -
"The game will be released in an Alpha build for a low price point"
PappaFae replied to despair (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It's an early buy in genius. You don't have to, but if you want to help test it he is giving you the option of buying the game early at a discount. I love it when people think they are entitled to play on an alpha or beta test.
