4. Your server must have BattlEye = 1; set within the server.cfg. (as of 1.7.2.4 the hive will not allow you to play if this is set to 0).Taken from the Server Rules post, if Battleye isn't enabled then it will be a Private hive server, nothing they do there will affect anything except that server...umm...yeah

Hey all, A hacker has spawned buildings all over my server, as in every 100-200 metres...cities, forrest areas, lakes...everywhere. How do I go about getting the map reset? I mean I can throw $5 at it and get a new instance ID that's no trouble but I thought what the hell, might as well ask the question. Rolling back to a previous version of the Hive and then back again? Rolling back DayZ versions and back again? Something like that? Thanks guys n gals

I ban idiots from my server all the time for talking about hacks in chat, no trial, no judge, no jury, straight to the bans.txt list

Lol, he's running a hack that makes everyone on the server dance...it may seem harmless but it makes you stand up and dance, which in certain situations will get you killed Add his GUID to bans.txt

If you admin your server as well as you forum post then I'm in! /sacrasm

OP has 1 post, I sense trolling...nevertheless the answer is simple, all the problems you are probably experiencing will be more easily solved in the standalone game where the DayZ team doesn't have to rely on the ARMA II engine underneath it...they've got their own version/code that they can do whatever they like with.

Hello there fellow DayZ mod'ers, For those of you who regularly played on US 2979 I'd like to announce that the technical difficulties on our server have now been solved...those technical difficulties being that there was a 'International Hotel' building every 100-200 metres...cities, forrest areas...even in the middle of lakes...ALL over the map from top to bottom, left to right...kinda made playing a little difficult. But thanks to facoptere for his fix for the problem the hacked in buildings have now been removed from the map. Other things that have been resolved include vehicles that were possibly hacked/teleported in to the ocean or to unaccessible areas have been returned to their spawn points and any spawned vehicles that should not be on the map have been removed. Tents haven't been touched, checked my tents and they were still where I put them with all the items I've stashed in them in tact. So, if you've been avoiding US2979 because of the hacked in buildings then feel free to come back cause they are gone!

Thanks for all the replies! Unfortunately shutting down the server, leaving it off for an hour or so and starting it back up hasn't fixed the problem. Maybe the hack gives the buildings the same value as a tent or car and so they are now considered permanant items...who know's. Anyways, as it's a public hive server I dare say a ticket to the DayZ dev's would go unanswered and hell...I wouldn't want them to answer it! The more time they can dedicate to standalone the better. Chances were my clan were going to either convert the DayZ mod server to DayZ standalone or if that wasn't an option drop the DayZ mod server and get a DayZ standalone one...I guess this just brings the schedule up a bit and we'll just drop this one and wait and grab a DayZ standalone server once it's out in the next month or so...I don't think we can be bothered to get another instance ID with DayZ standalone just around the corner. Ah well, was an interresting expereince while it lasted, the server admin business...so many people hacking it's crazy. No matter, according to DayZ commander theres 5013 other servers we can play on, so I think we'll be ok ;) Will post a message in the server MOTD and on the forums letting people know we're letting the hosting lapse and the server will go offline on X day, give people a chance to move their stuff to another server. Thanks again guys!

whoa whoa whoa...steady on there tiger, no need to get defensive...he's saying he's having the time of his life, read the second last sentence again.

haha exactly as it should be, you wash up on the coast with a few supplies, a backpack...and no fricken clue what the hell is going on!

Hacking at the moment is crazy bad, between Battleye, DayZ Anti Hax and checking logs daily myself an average of 3 people a day or 20 or so players a week are being banned from the server I'm an admin on...and no I'm not exagerating. I'm starting to actually worry that our server will be empty apart from my clan soon cause we've banned everyone else for hacking. Bring on Standalone!

Lol, 'Pipebomb' aka 'satchel charge' is one of the rarest items in the game...and yet from the above logs you found 6 within a few minutes? Don't think so there buddy. The co-ordinates of where you got the first 4 satchel charges is 103 130 or the middle of Electro...seeing as satchel charges only spawn at downed heli's and downed heli's don't spawn in the middle of Electro that'd be another strike. Pretty sure DayZ Anti Hax banned you from my server the other day when you did something similar on it, I remember seeing your name in the logs. Will send a report through to the Comminity Ban List which will get your GUID banned from all DayZ Anti Hax enabled servers as well, the number of which is growing rapidly.

Custom built script detection system that you know how to circumvent? Nice! Where do I sign up!

He sure is, I banned his GUID from US2979 a few days ago...will submit a report to the DayZ Anti-hax Comminuty Banlist. If you are running DayZ Anti-hax on your server, or even if you aren't and want to help, please go to: http://code.google.c...ist/issues/list and start a new issue and 'Submit a Ban' with the log of Jimmy Rustler's activity on your server, the more reports the quicker this guy gets added to the comminity ban list which will then ban him across all DayZ Anti-hax enabled servers

Pro tip mate...never claim that your server is hacker free, you're just asking for trouble...I woulnd't play on UK227 for the next week now based on what you just said

Download DayZ Commander (google is your friend) Tick the 'Hide unnoficial' option and in the drop down box select the 'DayZ only' map option Find a server or two that regularly has lots of people on it at your play times and favorite them in DayZ Commander, done and done.

The problem is the ARMA II engine, it's very trusting when it comes to scripting...indeed there are multiple webistes out there where people have scripted battles/scenario's for ARMA II that are available to be downloaded and played. The problem isn't DayZ, it's the ARMA II engine...once the standalone comes along a lot of the problems with hacking will be solved. Lol to the vilayer advertisements too...how much do you get per mention of their website there mate? Cause at vilayer if you hire a server from them they hold a gun to your head and make you check the logs every day...lolz...i'm sure some of the vilayer hosted servers have lazy admins too my friend...and their own Anti-hacking program? If you're talking about DayZ Anti-hax then it's definately not written by vilayer, DayZ anti-hax was independantly written and free to use by all. My SurvivalServers hosted DayZ server has made DayZ anti-hax available to be installed to all (which it is and it regularly catches and bans people) Standalone should be in the next few months, expect a lot of the hacking problems to be fixed once it hits.

Had a bit of a laugh when I read the logs.

Dogs are going to be able to attack the infected I'm pretty sure...not sure about other players tho...won't last very long in that case anyways.

As Groover said people are playing other maps...with the number of 'Lingor Island', 'Takistan' and now 'Fallujah' map threads going up lately I'd say the number of players playing a 'Dayz related mod' in a 24 hr period is still up over the 100k mark

G for gear, Open Bag, right click on consumable in inventory to bring up action menu (eg 'eat food', 'drink soda'), DON'T click action...move item to bag first (action menu stays up), THEN click action item...you eat/drink the item but the game thinks you put it in your bag...so you can just move it back in to your inventory...unlimited food/drink! Doesn't work anymore though, shame I found out about the glitch after they patched it too.

ALT-TAB out of that ARMA2 session (not ALT-F4), connect to another server (one you know you can always conenct to) while leaving the first ARMA2 session running...if you spawn in to the second ok then manually end the first ARMA2 session...problem of spawning on the coast solved!

zackthazman kinda yold you but seeing as I'm guessing neither of us speak jibberish I'll translate it in to english: An example - Ghosting is where you know where someone is, perhaps a sniper in Electro/Cherno, and trying to close enuff to that person to kill them with say your assault rifle (you don't have a sniper rifle) will most likely result in your death you switch servers to a server with low/no people, move to where the sniper is (behind them) or to a nearby vantage point that overlooks the snipers position where you can shoot at him/her from...and then switch back to the server with the sniper, appearing right behind them or overlooking their position where you have a good chance of getting the jump on them and killing them

I'm sorry, I'm sorry you are so uninformed/clueless as to why the hacking is so bad in the DayZ mod...and yet you still feel justified in posting something like this. 'It is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt' A few points: 1. Rocket has stated many times that the reason hacking is so rampant is because of the ARMA II engine, it is too trusting when it comes to players being able to script things in to the game. This will be fixed in the Standalone which will be locked down so that scripting things in to the game is disallowed. 2. I don't know how many DayZ servers are out there but typically when I do a server refresh in DayZ Commander I get anywhere from 4.8k to 5k servers. Now i'm sure Rocket is a resourceful guy but: a ) I don't think he could police that many servers without never being able to sleep again and b ) He doesn't own those servers, it's not his job to police them, it's the server owners job to police their own server. 3. The hacking reporting forum is for server admins to come and see evidence of hacking on their servers, a nice feature if you ask me and one they certianly didn't have to add to the forums 4. If the server admins on the servers you frequent aren't actively trying to stop hackers then...find some new server(s) 5. Players are banned by GUID - they can change whatever other details they dam please (Name, IP address) they will still be banned on that GUID This FREE mod is what it is, if you don't like it in it's current state then don't play it...no one's forcing you. Also try to do a little more research before you decide to start another thread, it might make you look less the fool.
