tals975 10 Posted January 3, 2013 Hey all!Me and my friends want to open a server.Before we do it, I just wanted to know what abilitys the server owner has and what abilitys the admins have.Because we have some admin friends, we know that you can place spawn points for vehicles.But what about buildings? Because I've been in servers with extra barracks, but I never know if its stock like that or the owner/admin changes it.What other stuff can admins and owners do?Thanks! Happy new ywar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted January 3, 2013 Technically a server admin can do anything. Even change the mod/map/models/weapons entirely to their liking.As long as you know how to do it, and the engine is capable of handling it, you can do it on your server. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

U.G.N - Jedi Panda 1319 Posted January 3, 2013 Entirely depends on your host. If you have a dedicated server box then you can do anything.But if you with a standard server host you wont be likely to change much at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you do that exactly? Add buildings and cars?Also, how do you guys feel about Vilayer? How is theyr edit?ALSO! If, WHEN, I want to stop hosting a server, how do I cancel it? Do I just ask them to cancel it, or does it take weeks untill they cancel it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tals975 10 Posted January 3, 2013 OOOH! Vilayer has 50% off on DayZ Should I get it?Is it lifetime 50% off? Or only the first payment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wesmacker 34 Posted January 3, 2013 I know little to nothing about vilayer, sorryour group originally used HFBServers, but that was a main hive server with vanilla dayzWe just recently got our dayz.st server, currently on Taviana.eu map, and can easily switch between any other map they offer(lots).No experience with Vilayer.
