"Community" devtest servers

[Ander (DayZ) 530]

Hello guys,

Community dev testing servers are branded with "DayZ.nu -" in their names.

They use individual hive servers meaning each character is unique per server.

Please feel free to come in and test gameplay.

Some of these servers may be a mix of say "1.7.3", "1.7.3.5" , "1.7.4" depending on which version is current.

Others are there to provide a level playfield with vanilla settings for stability-tests.

- Servers restarted on regular intervals (with warning 10 , 5 and 1 minute prior ).

- Backups are made every 20 minutes (for rollback incase of bad bugs or cheating).

- Bans are GLOBAL (yes, if you cheat on this server your GUID will be pushed to global banlist).

Active players will be invited to take part in our public dayzmod test releases when they are made available.

These servers will soon switch to three-step whitelisting using OpenID.

The page to sign up on will be www.dayz.nu (or linked through dayzmod.com).

Warning: Cheating is not allowed. We do extensive traffic and log-data parsing - bans on this server are global!

Yes. It's using a seperate hive if I am right.

[Man vs Wild 313]

Yes. It's using a seperate hive if I am right.

then what is different about this then a private hive?

You get to test the new and unreleased versions of DayZ before they are released.

[Ander (DayZ) 530]

You get to test the new and unreleased versions of DayZ before they are released.

Eventually. It'll just speed up testing for new versions a little bit.

The servers will run like normal otherwise.

Each server is basicly on local/private hive .

Nice server, I did notice that after a server restart that my thirst and hunger meters were reset to full. Also, no side chat makes me sad. I understand that voice in side chat is a pita and I don't like it either but I like to be able to text chat in side chat. It just makes the game a little more fun.

i just went on to the site and saw 'Day Z + 1.0 is this a patch or have I misread this

Hi guys,

I will probably enable text chat so people can talk.

Need a bit debug info anyway so it's good if I can monitor.

I'm alive and kicking on SE1, it was very hard to find but I eventually entered -12 in the filter and that seemed to do the job (better than SE1).

Server ip would be useful.

You can call me Alice if you like :ph34r: .

Thanks.

Can't play due to ping kicker. :(

Edited November 14, 2012 by smasht_AU

[Ander (DayZ) 530]

Will increase the ping limit a bit.

Also added a reverse timezone for those who play other time of day (separate hive DB).

Total tally of last night was 6 cheaters with undetected BE bypasses caught by filters and added to banlists.

Lots more data to process so will take a while to catch everyone.

The 20min backups are pretty nice though for quick restorations after a jackass trying to wipe servers.

Servers have a password, just got home from work...sad Jhereg.

I am interested to help out test the dev server but I cannot seems to find a link on the website to get on the white list.

Thank you.

[leettari (DayZ) 133]

This is all round good news!

[boneboys 7988]

SE 1 was struggling last night with 33 players ( 22.00 server time).

No loot or infected spawning 5 mins after entering zone (Stary/Novy).

Ander when do you expect the Forum to go live for registration,, soon !

Thanks.

[boneboys 7988]

BE #45 restriction kicked in when I changed to camo clothing, I had taken off my backpack.

Latest build.

16.00 hr server SE 2 (gmt+1).

[Ander (DayZ) 530]

Sorry for rough ride yesterday, done a lot of quick fixes that required restarts.

Public tests revealed a big potential issue that'd wrecked havoc on public hive :) so lucky we caught it here.

Server changes:

- 1.7.4.1 deployed (more fixes!1one1!!, you can grab latest files from the website).

- BE #45 script restriction is fixed.

- 99153 arma2 patch installed. (please update your clients)

As for whitelisting, when numbers pick up a little bit Ill add whitelisting too.

Need moaaar testers.

[white 44]

do i need a 1.7.4 client installed to play on a 1.7.4 server? if so, where do i download it?
