Roofuz 1 Posted December 31, 2012 Hey everyone,I'm a relatively new server owner and I am truly amazed at the amount of cheating that goes on in this game. I have banned a player 3 times now but he keeps coming back. Frustrated, I decided just to talk to the guy. He told me he has a massive amount of CD keys and can come back to servers indefinitely. Any idea how I can get rid of him for good? Thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SP45M 240 Posted December 31, 2012 Just keep banning his arse. It may not cost much for a key but Keep the faith and it will add up, make him pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roofuz 1 Posted December 31, 2012 Ok the problem was that I couldn't watch the server 24/7. But I gave some folks admin rights and they ban on sight now. Should help with the problem in the meantime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immortal revolt 17 Posted January 1, 2013 A hacker playing on one of my favorite servers gets many global bans every day, he comes back every time. I think that some hackers are sponsored to hack dayZ to get people off the game. Bohemia interactiv is a pain in the ass for other game dev and rockets DayZ made there problems even bigger. This ofcourse is only a theory... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This ofcourse is only a theory...It's more the fact that ArmA stores players CD Key in the registry resulting in massive CD key theft and stolen keys that cost about a dollar.

Yes.. it is ridiculous the amount of cheating and how sad the state of our tools and detection are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roofuz 1 Posted January 2, 2013 I think I might just shut the server down and be down with this garbage game. It sucks because I have at least 50 regulars who are all cool, but I'm not paying for this anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16186 Posted January 2, 2013 Use a whitelist. This will help immensely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roofuz 1 Posted January 2, 2013 Yeah ill probably just shut it down at the end of the month. I have a full-time job so I just don't have to time to babysit this server anymore. I tried many options but they seem to be able to get around them all. I will try again once(if) the standalone comes out though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintMerc 73 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Get a copy of his Player ID from the logs it will be in the RPT log just use notepad ++ and search his nametill you find a set of numbers that would be his player ID,Sometime you may get a few letter with the numbers.Just look for example.LOGIN ATTEMPT: "56583902" Name "If you are then able to see the files on your servervia FTP then in the root dir of arma folder of the server you might see a ban.txtIf you have this in the root dir of arma.Add his player ID to that, he will not be able to join your server again.If you don't have it then simply create the file ban.txtHope this helps you keep your server running.

munkie 40 Posted January 3, 2013 The above is the best piece of info i have seen for a long time, thank you Faz. (My Beans are given sir!)I will be using this for a very similar scripter that has even gone as far as using a VPN to change his IP to continue to ruin our server.Screw you now mister!!d.

SaintMerc 73 Posted January 4, 2013 Update.I've noticed having looked in to the RPT that theLOGIN ATTEMPT: "Number" Name " Is not the player id.So to find the player ID look for example blow in your RPTExample"DISCONNECT: name (100613574) Object: B 1-3-A:1 (name) REMOTE, _characterID: 5798346" <- example.So player ID is characterID: 5798346" <- example.Hope this helps.

GtaSoldierBoy 11 Posted January 4, 2013 Cd keys are quite cheap i think so admins a website so players can keep reporting the person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munkie 40 Posted January 4, 2013 Thats why i love this new option of ban security.IP - He used VPNGUID - He brought new, after new after new.Player ID - Unique and perfect.(if i can stop it turning into what looks like an IP address in the bans.txt file.)d.

SaintMerc 73 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Drunkie.You need to place it in your ban.txt in your root not a bans.txt :)bans.txt is for GUID's and IP's.ban.txt is for player ID's Edited January 4, 2013 by UXFaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
