Epoch 1.0.3.1 released - update via the panel. Paid mod install customers please submit a support ticket to get updated!

@Cenobite: We only use live chat here and there,. it is not a guarantee. You can submit a support ticket @ http://SurvivalServers.com For those that were emailing about more stock in Germany, just got new servers up in Germany.

Due to popular demand, we've enabled full read/edit access to FTP, this includes logs / configuration files (server.cfg, hiveext.ini), BattlEye, and arma2oaprofile. Make sure server is stopped before editting. In your FTP software, make sure you right-click -> Edit instead of downloading and uploading files. We are using the honor system for slot # and branding, so please don't abuse. :) To activate the new FTP changes, save your FTP password to something else, "Save and Restart" (green button), then change the FTP password back, "Save and Restart" and you will have access to the new FTP permissions. More changes coming soon!

Thanks for pointing that out, when we changed over some of the content on our website I guess I forgot to change that part. Changed. :) There's no need to have full FTP access on the new panel. You have everything you really need access to. For those interested, you can get information about FTP access in my post above. How can we improve, what specifically can you not do through the new panel (in terms of customization) that you could not in TC Admin?

What Craig was saying was that it's not recommended. You can install them in your mission file we just will not provide a loadout tool as it's going to be a deprecated feature soon anyways. FTP is more limited than the old panel but you have access to the things you need access to. Nothing more, nothing less. It's much simpler for user friendliness. * Server configuration files -> read only (no access to server.cfg permitted as it's not needed AND has potential for abuse) * Log files -> read only (server must be stopped) * BattlEye scripts -> read/edit (server must be stopped to edit) * arma2oaprofile -> read/edit (server must be stopped to edit) There's no reason to provide access to any other files than these.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new game server panel. This panel has the same great features from TC Admin but a whole lot more.. New Panel Highlights! * Instantly change map or location * Backup & restore database every 30 min * All-in-one panel.. no more multiple logins! * Instant access to FTP & phpMyAdmin * Change location on-the-fly * Add in Anti-Hack admins easily * Automated restarts with 15, 10, 5, and 2 minute in-game notifications We've been beta testing the last month with great success. Thanks for the great feedback to all those who participated! How to transfer over Email us at support@survivalservers.com, submit a support ticket, get in touch with us. We'll transfer you over within 24 hours, providing you a login. When we transfer, we will complete the following steps -* Completely transfer your database (at time of transfer) and map * Transfer your existing server & mission files (only for our custom mod customers) * Migrate billing information * Provide access to the new support ticket center What happens to my old server after I am transferred? Your old server (TC Admin server) will be removed after 48 hours. This gives you sufficient time to backup and migrate settings over.

I don't think that the custom modding thread should have been merged here, but closed and all discussion redirected to the opendayz.net thread. This thread is intended for customer's to communicate with us, not be some discussion thread for a community topic.

It's not as easy as you would think. We prefer the manual installation over the automation because we've seen customers use these "automators" and have a plethora of issues. Not to mention there are so many caveats, different maps, and things to consider when fine tuning custom mods into server files.

For a $25 server we can't afford to spend the time to do it for free.. sorry but it just isn't a free service, it takes time to install custom mods on many different customers. When an update is released we have to update the mods to the latest version as well.

We charge for the time and effort it takes us to install these mods on customer's servers. Our less tech savvy customers do not know how to install these mods and greatly appreciate the service of installing these scripts on their servers - we have to be compensated for the amount of time spent installing the scirpts. I don't see any harm in charging hourly for work installing scripts that are open source and freely available. We don't have some sort of monopoly on script installation. We, like every other major DayZ host out there, provide full access to server files to add in custom scripts without going through our hourly paid installation service. This topic is way off base and border-line witch hunt. There's nothing wrong in what we are doing, our customers are glad to pay the installation costs and understand they are not paying for the scripts directly.

Over-demanding customer not satisfied by the fact that we do not babysit them with everything on their server (custom programming). All of the issues that the customer experienced were cause by himself, minus one minor issue where TC Admin was having a 1 hour window of time where the server was not communicating correctly with it (which we fixed, was a result of an update we did). Customer submitted a dispute on PayPal weeks after they ordered a server. We don't do prorated refunds, so I am a bit astonished by your surprise at this. There are no companies on this planet that prorate refunds for services rendered.

Thanks for the positive review! Keep em coming :D

That was fast :D Thanks team! Working on getting this up for our customers, will test soon.
