Hi, I have recently read through the General Server Sticky on administration but I have recently had an issue that I need help with. I am an admin of a Private Hive server and I have had to Ban a few people for spawning in vehicles and rascism. The problem is, on a few occaisions I have banned a players GUID and a totally different player got banned. I am using BERcon and when I type the /ban (guid#) command it bans someone else. Does the player I'm banning need to be in the server at the time I ban them? I have been kicking them and then banning. Any help would be appreciated.

the tale of my morning... i join my server to continue my run to stary of yesterday. well equipped and with my first ghillie suite in my backpack. shortly before i reach stary, i see another player running towards the city. friendly as i am i didnt shoot. now the time for my ghillie came, i went all stealth and shit. drop my alice pack, switch to the suite and zip, teleported to the beach with all the other players. i quit. rage number 1, my pack is gone, still laying on the ground near stary.... i join another server. rage number 2, i freshly spawn at the coast near electro, apperantly i got killed while disconnecting. i shit you not, after 15 seconds i get teleported again, along with all other players and all vehicles. this time i run, i have nothing to lose. i can escape, get teleported back, escape again, get teleported, and finally insta killed. sigh. i restart. again close to electro. i enter the city, loot what i can, until i get, surprise surprise, teleported again, this time to a bunch of nice guys in guillies and military weapons. you can imagine what happened. last try! again i spawn close to electro, this time on a very low pop server, dont want to get hacked again. i have a good run, find me some nice guns, an alice, map, matches, etc etc. eventually i go into the church. player! i call him, saying im friendly. he does not react, looting stuff in the church. i think he is friendly as well, but always keep an eye on him. eventually he starts shooting at me with his makarov, so i have to kill him. rage 3, my very first murder. stupid idiot. after leaving electro heading north, i get insta killed while organising my pack, being happy about my new toys.

Just two questions that needs to be answered.............. Have you and your friends already repaired and hidden all the vehicles, and if so, can I have one?

Just for those of you guys worried about us in iG hoarding vehicles/crash sites. We're not hoarding vehicles, so don't worry there. In total we have 2 hueys which are our main vehicles, aside from those we have 1 motorbike and 2 cars (Reasonable amount of vehicles for our group I'd say). We do have a hatchback we use for storage currently as tents are damn rare on this server, but that one will likely be parked somewhere people can find it when we are done with it. And we're gonna go easy on the crash sites from now on. We'll hit them, but will make sure we leave gear there for other people to discover as well.

He basically said - wheels and scrap metal should spawn with vehicles so you don't have to find the parts to repair them. The answer is 'no'. Shrooms. Definitely shrooms.

Take down those screenshots and copy and paste the particular log found in the createvehicle.log with the IP and GUID removed. You do not want to post that information on a public forum. The IP in particular since there are things that can be done to someone via having their IP address on hand. Do it quickly as well before a moderator just edits or deletes your thread. Also, just because there was a createvehicle kick doesn't mean it was spawning vehicles. Createvehicle kicks happen when your client fails to load into a server, or there's a mis-match when loading in(during the phase in which your body is in the debug plains) that you are actually a bird(seagull) so if that kick happens to look like "Player Name Guid #0 "SeaGull" "Player Name Guid #1 "Seagull" Then it's nothing to worry about. But still, post it up here. If you see a kick rest assured it's doing it's job. It's preventing people from executing that script, so even in a case where it's sketchy as to whether or not to ban that person, it's still going to auto kick every time anyway. For the record, anything that shows up in remoteexec.txt is 99% of the time malicious and should be banned for. It's usually shitty public hack scripts people found on google.

I stopped reading at " You and one other logged in during the fight.." I was logged in the whole time and I was miles away from the fight so the idea that you had of me being close by shows just how much you know. I can pretty much guarantee you haven't seen head nor tail of me within the weeks I've been playing, let alone tracking my movements, you massive fat curly tailed liar you. Anybody doubting this just has to search for UK125 admin abuse on Google and watch the revenge vid from the SaW clan. The FAGGOT ADMINS on this server store all of the vehicles off the map, which I'm pretty sure they shouldn't be doing.

use a bandage i logged out in a vehicles and got stuck in the air once they saved me, if you need help i'm at zelengorsk not to far away.

As you can tell lots of people want to keep Berezino for themselves...What I want to do is a little bigger. My basic premise for encouraging this movement is that I think you need two things to establish a safe zone in DayZ: you need to be well equipped and you need numbers. I want to use Berezino as a place to evac community members too using cars and helicopters after they first spawn, they can then gear up with all essentials needed in (relative) safety from other players. Keeping and holding on too vehicles is difficult as an individual so numbers are needed to do it. Using Berezino as a base we can work in squads to raid the North for vehicles to be used for community purposes - such as spawn evacs, aerial support and medical assistance. We can also use the vehicles to raid military and helicopter crash sites for loot. Once our numbers are well geared we will be more capable of fighting back if attacked. Keeping and maintaining the server helicopter for community use will be the top priority. The helicopter will be protected at all costs, as it will be the core of our peace-loving community. The helicopter is our God.

I think he's saying you should find vehicles in mint condition.

Nice vehicles you have there :) http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5095/arma2oa2012090519141732.jpg

I think DayZ deserves a vote. But more importantly it needs a bigger dev team because they seem absolutely swarmed. I'm a patient guy and will wait for fixes so I don't complain as much as others but the tents and vehicles need an urgent fix. To me it's the biggest problem. My buddies and I can put up with the graphical glitches as it's just a case of quickly flushing the screen or rejoining. But our server has emptied since the latest patch because the regulars can't progress. We rolled our server back to 1.7.2.4 just so we could save vehicles and tents again but it's still pretty empty most nights because hardly anyone is using this patch. To be honest I don't really care that much about dogs either. They'll just be bandit magnets. Zombie dogs would be a more welcomed addition, there's plenty of doghouses for them to spawn at, and they could be very rare to spawn and be a bigger threat. But right now, the major bugs have gotta be fixed before adding more stuff. Stabilize the game so at least the whiners have nothing to moan about and can only get excited about new additions to come. Complaints aside. You have my vote and I wish you all the best!

While waiting for the Boyz at Dayz to get the next stable patch out have put up a PH server to play on, come by test and have all your Tents, etc saved to a PH.....

I understand your frustration. And i'll monitor the situation closely and have a word if its get out of control. But if you could see what i can see you would know that there are still many vehicles which remain unclaimed - infact there are 70 vehicles on the map right now, and iG are hording less than 10%. Once i figure out how this damned forum works :blush: and get it up on /PDR we can decide what and when we do resets, soft resets of just vehicles etc once a month for instance, or a compelte reset of all characters, maybe even move between to lingor and cherno every other month etc.

Probably a new server and they wanted to hoard al the vehicles and didnt want you butting in on their patch lol, did you find the helo?

I would like myself and all of my members unbanned from this server as i believe we have been unfairly banned ,with no proof of me spawning in any weapons or scripting,would like my name cleared as anyone who has spoken to me over the years of myself gaming knows i hate hackers and do not tolerate them at all.Ihave been wrongly accused of hacking and would like this cleared ,i have never played arma 2 and do not know the weapons in the game there fore when i found the gun on another server i thought it was all good . I have banned over 400 players on our bf2 server for hacking ,running macros and a number of other reasons and i can tell you all this i have never banned anyone without some sort of proof as i believe its the right things to do ,i have screen shots for all my bans just in case someone appeals it . I have even banned members and admin of my clan when we have found out they where hackers and to be accused of hacking is an insult to me as a player and clan founder .As for not knowing about the hacked guns thats the truth and you know it OeterB i only got arma 2 for DAYZ never looked into gun and stuff because i thought what the point i want to play the game not spend my time researching the hacks in it ,if i had a DAYZ server different story i would of known . None of us hacked any guns into the game they where found some on your server when we found some tents ,and if you are banning us because of scripting funny you did not mention the 2 AIM memebrs who got kicked for scripting just before you banned us ,which i mentioned to you in teamspeak and what a shock you could not find anything . Just for the record and i am not an expert on this but if you banned people for having hacked guns and scripting no wonder there are no players on your server most players have been kicked for some sort of scripting so they must be all hacking ,also your tents had a lot of items in them maybe update to the 1.7.2.5 so players can not use the tents glitch or maybe you guys like playing like that and having all the vehicles and chopper WOW sound a bit boring to me but hey each to there own :D . Hotblack sniped 2 of your members 3 times in the head and guess what they did not die at all,but we hack what a joke You said on teamspeak that you guys banning us had nothing to do with me ( ZoMBiEMaN001) banning six of your members for hacking on our Bf2 SERVER ( MACROS ) I BELIEVE ,i believe you are full of it mate and had a bit of a pay back moment ,and used it . You guys have not posted the logs that i or any of my other members hacked them guns in and there fore as far as i am concerned you have abused your admins powers by banning us and if the owner of the hive -Rocket i think his name is reads this please look into this as ADMIN ABUSE should be hit on the head -HARD . Thanks [TdS] ZoMBiEMaN001 P.S OeterB very disappointing mate i thought you where better than that ,this ban is quite funny when i think of it By the way Rocket loving the game mate well done something so simple but yet so addictive ,Congrats

I'm not sure how to find the server now. The best thing everyone can do is Put "Desync" into any filter they can find. Any server that pops up should be the right one. It's no longer named US 23 but we are looking for a way to change the name back to that. It may or may not show up in DayZ Commander as the correct server, I'm unable to get it to show up but other people have had it work. To connect to the server you have to install Beta patch 96061 or higher and install DayZ 1.7.2.5, this can be easily done using DayZ Commander. No need to worry about tents or vehicles not saving with the latest patch now, it seems to be fixed, along with many other issues. We will try and assist anyone with any connection issues asap. While playing if you do happen to find a vehicle that seems to belong to another player, we would appreciate you making a note of it in this thread, it will help us know for sure that vehicles spawns are indeed fixed. You're not required to do this, it would just be useful. I really don't expect there to be any issues, I just want to catch them fast if there are.

The only thing that worries me and don't get me wrong they are a good bunch is that the IG's are going to start hoarding all the vehicles.

I was wondering if all those people who are moaning about the tents not saving, and dupping crap out every restart have even thought about what life would be like in game when they get fixed. I mean think about it.. just for a second... How long do you normally go before a hacker joins the server and insta kills you and you lose all your stuff ? think on it.. For me, its about an hour, I can play for about an hour on average before eventually and ultimatly a hacker joins spawns at my back and rapes me of my loot, hides my body and spawns all the vehicles into debug. For me the only thing keeping me in game is that Tents Dupe and I can and have resisted the urge to leave the game because of the hackers because I know that my tent is there keeping me in game. I want them fixed. But not until the hackers are gone, I can handle losing my kit, but not to a hacker who can kill me without me even having a chance to fight back. so think about it.......

you can sometimes drive a vehicle with red indicators.. we were able to fix only three wheels on a V3S with red engine, hull and tank and still managed to drive it away (although I don't recommend it) vehicles have different sized fuel tanks so it has effect on how many jerry cans you need for full tank but you can drive for a while with just one windscreen is only aesthetic

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.

Is there anyway to get more vehicles on the server ?

It would remove 4 months worth of duping and hacker saturation on the servers. It will take quite a while before the situation becomes as bad as it is right now again. The best thing would be to hive wipe AND disable tents alltogether (save tents for standalone). Fixing tents would be good but hackers could still fill up non-duping tents with hacked in gear. With no tents they are limited to llegit vehicle slots since spawned in vehicles vanish upon daily server restarts.

Servers hesitate to patch because they think a previous patch was more stable/fun and that more people want to play it. As poll shows 85% so far would like a hive wipe. Hopefully server admins are also likewise enthusiastic. Although you may have a point though since most server admins run clans and have vehicles and large camps so they may be more reticent to support a hive wipe. But nonetheless i'm sure most of them are as bored as us because of the impact of mass duping. I'm sure a large numbers of servers would happily patch if it meant that some fresh fun was injected into the game. A fresh hive wipe with tents disabled (until tents can be fixed) would get me playing the game again. Right now i've taken a break because it's gotten a bit boring. Most of the people I used to play with left the game a few weeks back as well. Hackers will still be a huge pain, but it would alleviate one of the main drawbacks of day-z right now. Super super mass supply of bazillions of high end military gear. With no tents even if hackers spawned in crates, there would be no way to stockpile them and it would be a slow crawl back to saturation so wed have fun for a few months still

I did this crossbow challenge for a couple of days on my own initiative. It was massive fun but I was up in Berezino at the time and it was so damn quiet I ran into no-one to try it out on! That said, I acquired some nice vehicles and loot. I learned how to aim the crossbow by going into one of those industrial building with the big blue doors and shooting at the wall, doesn't take long to get the hang of it. I killed about 200 zombies in a couple of days, around 75% of which were headshots (I was practicing in case I ever had to use it on a player). I'd definitely recommend others try it.
