So... what is the deal with these (1 in particular I should say) cFix guys being allowed to hack in the name of "protecting the garage"? Scripting/duping in countless sandbags, barbed wire, and LMG's to "protect" with? Teleporting around to kill someone if they attack someone near the "garage"? Seriously, wtf? I got banned for a Mt. Dew while these guys get to do whatever they please, legitimately or not, in the name of controlling who is allowed to get a vehicle on the server?

cash4gold here. After going through some poor gaming experiences today on the Lingor hive's (lack of admins, witnessing admin's on power trips like on the SLAP server, and in one instance a total server nuke while hackers screamed obscenities and racial profanities in voice chat), I decided it was time I dedicate some time and money to contribute back to the community and try to help prevent other players from having to go through that. Started a fresh Lingor server on the Vilayer hive. Configured for the maximum amount of vehicle spawns. Restarts 3 times a day, every 8 hours. Located in Dallas, USA. VOIP disabled. Side chat enabled. Freedom of speech. No racism though please. Mature and active administrators. Friendlies and teamwork encouraged. Please have at it folks. Make my server your server. I work 12 hour nights shifts, and will be able to frequently monitor the server and provide administration if I am currently not in the game. Also my friend and clan mate will also be around frequently to make sure things are running smoothly. Feel free to contact me on steam if needed.

Roger that Drakken. Thank you much. Those two I killed had an AS50 (not thermal) and a SAW, both of which can spawn legit... but they also had all kinds of other rare things like Coyote packs, radios, NVG's, etc. After I killed them, I left Cherno and later someone else accused them both of hacking and they got banned, so I think they were spawning stuff in. Drrriz (I think that is his name) and Wynter were both in at the time, and can verify.

I was banned for possessing a can of Mt. Dew, which I looted from two dead bandits that I skillfully took down with a Lee Enfield while they were getting into a chopper on a roof in Cherno. which then nose dived into the field. If the server hasn't yet been rebooted, the evidence should still be there. I explained in more detail on your forums. Please unban me, I am a legit player. Thank you.

I actually caught his actions in the logs and banned him before seeing this post, but sadly, he had already messed up a lot of peoples games and left the server. His IP and GUID has been added to the ban list.

Server has been patched to latest Vilayer code. *HOPEFULLY* it will resolve the issue people have been experiencing where they spawn with nothing on coast that seems to be happening very commonly on all Vilayer servers for the past few weeks.

Tanks and jets... Why wouldn't you just go play BF3 or something at that point?

Hey guys, Cash here. Admin of Treasure Island on Vilayer Hive. Was anyway. For the last week, the server has been plagued by issues concerning the Vilayer Hive. Vehicles stopped spawning. People kept logging in only to find themselves with absolutely nothing... no assault pack, not even a bandage, having lost all of their gear for some reason due to the Hive not saving. Vilayer told me that my Vilayer code was out of date... even though I definitely installed it. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt and installed the latest again. It changed nothing. Same issues. Players were losing their gear for the last two nights, and hit me this morning after spending HOURS getting geared up, I log back in after work and have NOTHING. On top of it all. today my publicvariable.log started going crazy. I have been using this log to track hack attempts, like it is supposed to be used for. But suddenly out of nowhere, the log is overflowing with "null object data". It jumped from a couple 100k to 3MB in 12 hours. I tried rebooting twice, but it made no difference. So I open a ticket with Vilayer, and they tell me: "publicvariable.log is a new feature from battleye which tracks certain settings, you need to look at the scripts.log rather than publicvariable.log. Best Regards, Casey Baer (Support Technician) Vilayer LTD | www.vilayer.com" Really? It worked fine for weeks now until today... but now, instead of me using the log that is supposed to filter things out and only show hack attempts, they want me to just ignore that log and use scripts.log instead... which is completely unfiltered and filled with unnecessary data when trying to admin a server and ban hackers. What a joke. Vilayer Hive is broken. If players can not retain their gear on the Hive, then it is UNPLAYABLE and is UNACCEPTABLE. Not being able to use the BE logs as they are supposed to be used means the game will be UNPLAYABLE and is UNACCEPTABLE. Treasure Island will no longer be hosted on Vilayer, and I will be shopping for a new dedicated host.

Yeah, we had two admins on at the time, myself included. Guy was teleporting himself around to where people had vehicles and camps, ours included. He was also invincible. Not cool. The usual log checks were not helping this time. Nothing hinting at hacks in any of the logs except public variable... which is usually clean but for suddenly filled up to 1.8MB of garbage out of nowehere, making it impossible to differentiate legit data from hacks. Might even be the same guy, just server hopping on VIlayer Hive.

Server currently down due to a hack attack. Staying offline until I sort this out probably until tomorrow. Logs flooded with garbage.

I disagree... hence the use of Vilayer Hive. I like the concept of the Hive for multiple reasons, first and foremost, players being able to save and carry over their stuff from server to server. Treasure Island has been online for about a week or so, and already we've had over 400 players join in. Quite often it hits the max capacity of 40 players at a time. I like that players, when the server is full, still has the option to hop in another server and play until a spot opens up on Treasure Island for them. As far as vehicles go, I think having it maxed out at 30 is plenty for Lingor Island. The other day, my crew was rolling with a couple vehicles and ran into another crew that had a UAZ, a Bus, a Tractor, and a very large truck. While chasing each others convoys, a Heli flew over head and blew up our car. It was quite intense, and demonstrated that there are plenty of vehicles to go around.

This. 1911 is my second favorite side arm, only trumped by the PDW due to it's high round mag's, accuracy, and ability to use any other 9mm mag.

M14 is a double edged sword. While it features an optical scope and is accurate and powerful with large magazine, it is brightly colored and easy to spot, nullifying the purpose of Ghillie, only semi auto, and LOUD as balls. Zombies chase after you from yards away after firing it. I always prefer M14 to FAL if I had to choose between the two, or any other semi auto rifle. But over a good full auto assault rifle with optics like M4A3? Not likely. Going to roll with the harder to see and less noisy gun with full auto over it for sure. Is the M4A3 less powerful? Absolutely. But that's when spray n pray comes into the strategy. Most commonly spawn at Heli's but I've found them in barracks twice so far... very possible someone swapped it there for something else, but I think it was spawned there.

Really? Because I was in there for almost 24 hours and only saw him get warned right before he was kicked. Then he came back in and his mic came on but he didn't say anything and was banned. And I still don't see any justification for me getting the boot. Keep back pedaling all you want now that you got called out publicly, it doesn't change the fact that your server is adminsitrated by people with the mentality of a grieving nerd raging 12 year olds who like to abuse the powers of admin when it suits their fancy.

Because we are part of a whitelisted Vilayer Hive, not a hacked stand alone renegade box, and abide by the rules. Max limit set to 30. Most defaults to 15, which is half that.

Devils Castle isn't no Green Mountain, but it probably gets its scary reputation from the facts that: A. It is very very north, meaning that the players you encounter that far up will be very experienced, and most likely very well geared, and not a place to mess around at. B. It is an optimal location for crews to establish a base camp at if they want to do raids and hunts near Starry and the NWAF. C. It is high walled and very well fortified, making it a good spot for snipers to setup outposts at. D. It is the only place to go up there in that large stretch wilderness, so you are likely to run into other players that are in the area. Also It is a good spot for residential loot and basic survival supplies. I've found Ghillie there before.

When you have extra ammo to burn, I love killing Z's for the shear pleasure of doing it. I wish more players would take out their boredom and aggression on Z's instead of other players, and just blast them for the hell of it once and a while. I do wish it was more rewarding sometimes though... I think a cool looking Zombie Slyaer skin would be awesome, just like we get when we reach Hero or Bandit status.

I'm 31. Glad to see other old heads enjoying DayZ. In all honesty, I always felt like DayZ was a very mature and challenging game compared to arcade style shooters out there like COD, and figured it would mostly appeal to the more seasoned gamer and crowd. I am pretty surprised at the apparent growing audience of young folk playing DayZ, and impressed that they are able to get into a game with such a steep learning curve and serious tone. There is hope for our future after all!

I have the ping capped at 200 through BE because any higher than that causes unfair problems with lag for other players during gun fights. Heck, I've even seen pings near 200 be a problem in DayZ... and honeslty, I really doubt you would want to play on a server with your ping higher than 200. You would be warping all over, having synch issues, falling through textures, have your shots not register, etc. It's in the best interest of everyone to keep a tight restriction on pings man, sorry. Glad your enjoying yourself man. Also I'd like to point out that as of today, I have single handedly banned over 100 hackers from the server, mostly within the first few minutes of them entering, and we have reached rank #131 on Gametracker!

Its been mentioned a few times on these forums now. Bad admins are bad. SLAP says you aren't allowed to use voice, but instead of being competent enough to just disable voice, they ban people for it. Well some bandit killed me and looted my body. I was pretty well geared. he got excited and bragged in voice... and consequently got banned for it. I then typed "Aww that sucks. Was hoping to find him and get my gear back". 5 seconds later, I get banned from the server too, for no reason at all. Seriously, what the fuck is that? They were the straw that broke the camels back for me when it comes to servers with crap adminsitration. After dealing with bad experiences for a couple nights in a row with bad adminsitration, or total lack of adminsitration, I started my own server and it is doing pretty well. My server is also Lingor on Vilayer Hive, so your gear and place will be saved if you want to look elsewhere to play. I assure you I am not 12 or get butt hurt when legitimately killed and start swinging the ban hammer. Unless someone is hacking, I issue warnings if there is something that needs to be addressed. Itchy trigger fingers on the ban button is not my style. Unlike SLAP, I want people to feel welcome in my server and have fun.

Bullshit. My server is almost always at full capacity and my vehicles still got teleported by a hacker. Luckily, we were able to find some them on top of a mountain and the friendlies set work on repairing them while the bandits came and kept trying to snipe everyone. As for the rest of them, we can't locate them and assume they are out in the ocean, where they will remain for the next 7 days, screwing all of my players out of being able to use them in the meantime. We also have a boat on the airfield.... I *thought* when I uninstalled and reinstalled Lingor on the server last night after updating the Vilayer Hive hotfix, that it would wipe and reset all that bullshit too... but nope. Boat still on the airfield. Very tempted to ask a scripter to just teleport them all back for me, or just script in some new ones FFS. Unbelievable we don't have the ability to repair the damage done by hacking idiots.

Scanning the logs and came across an entry I've never seen before. Can any other admins confirm if this is legit, or signifying shenanigans? No speculation Please. Just looking for a hard answer so I know if I need to break out the ban hammer or not. Thanks. 11.09.2012 05:59:34: [NAME REDACTED] [iP REDACTED] 5c56abcb4b8f6c278cf48889136dab77 - #0 "AmmoBoxBig" 341:26 [LOCATION REDACTED] 11.09.2012 05:59:34: [NAME REDACTED] [iP REDACTED] 5c56abcb4b8f6c278cf48889136dab77 - #2 "AmmoBoxBig" 341:26 [LOCATION REDACTED] 11.09.2012 05:59:34: [NAME REDACTED] [iP REDACTED] 5c56abcb4b8f6c278cf48889136dab77 - #0 "USBasicWeaponsBox" 341:27 [LOCATION REDACTED] 11.09.2012 05:59:34: [NAME REDACTED] [iP REDACTED] 5c56abcb4b8f6c278cf48889136dab77 - #2 "USBasicWeaponsBox" 341:27 [LOCATION REDACTED]

Tonight I refreshed the logs and actually caught some hackers in the middle of something... I banned them for it, but I have little understanding of what they were actually doing. I've seen what the scripts look like when Heli's get spawned in, but this looks very different. Can anyone give me a break down of what type of shenanigans was transpiring when I let the ban hammer fall? 11.09.2012 21:00:31: Sgt.

The problem with this is, there is no functioning Heli in my server at the moment. Another player crashed it into the sea hours before. I do not have an account for the site. Mind giving me the breakdown of what you are linking to? I really don't need to hear people guess at what this means. I know what it "looks like"... I can read. I am asking for anyone who knows what it really is and should it deem a ban.
