Apparently Arma II uses "Classes." Which class is used for the players?6. How to disable 3rd person?7. Viewdistance in the config file. What does increasing this do for the players on the server? Its default at 1600. Can I increase this to increase max viewdistance for the player or something? Or do I leave it at 1600?8. How do you ban/kick people? Using hfbservers for hosting and I have access to the web console.9. How do you talk in some sort of ADMIN chat for the purpose of alerting players to server restarts and whatnot?

However, you can set friendlyTag = 0 and enemyTag = 05) ?6) Edit the server's profile file, and set 3rdPersonView= 0 for the difficulty that you are planning to use.7) Every player will be forced to server's view distance in MP. However, it can be overwritten by mission file (and most likely is overwritten in DayZ mission) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nelorzoul 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Well if the global chat already disabled in the latest mission file then how is it available on my server? I'm only asking about it because it's currently on and I'm running the latest patch. What's more, what's the deal with the mission file and what do I need to be doing to keep it up to date? I see in the MPmissions folder that there's a LOT of mission files, but I don't see which one is for DayZ. I'm very unclear on what the mission file does and how to make sure I've got the right one for my server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted June 18, 2012 Are you running the latest ArmA 2 beta patch and also restricting the joiners from joining with earlier version? If not, you should do it. Those clients that are not using beta patch can still access the global channels. You have make sure no one can join without it.Mission file is the dayz_xxx.Chernarus.pbo and you can get latest version from the same location you got earlier version.

Nelorzoul 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Well with the mission file the thing is I put my server up through HFBservers.com and everything came all setup. They didn't, however, explicitly provide me with any mission file nor access to any sort of directory of them. That being said, how do I go about obtaining the latest one?

Nelorzoul 0 Posted June 18, 2012 So any heads up on what I need to do to obtain the latest mission file? Since I wasn't directly given access to any particular file when I set my server up through HFBservers I can't go to the "same location" I got the previous one. I'm still waiting to turn the chat off on my server.I mean, 50 people on a server with constant chat is pretty annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully some other admin / DayZ staff member can provide you more info.I thought all server hosts (at least those I've talked to in IRC) were given a location where to download the mission files.I fixed it.How did you fix it? Was it a wrong profile file that you had edited before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-UNAS- Korinthius 0 Posted June 20, 2012 Wondering if anyone had found a fix for this yet. I also have a server hosted by HFBServers, and am having the same issues. Most servers appear to be properly updated, however I still have a Side Chat channel as well, and would like to get this resolved.Darryl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GHoffman 2 Posted June 25, 2012 In your server.cfg file, you need to edit the requiredBuild setting. It has the forward slash's in front of it "/". These are not supposed to be there. Delete the 2 forward slashes in front of the "requiredBuild = 93965" setting and the command will actually start enforcing the beta restriction. This will keep users who have older beta version from joining your server and not let them still have access to the side chat channel.I hope this helps!

dizzymagoo 19 Posted June 25, 2012 Make sure you update your mission file to the latest one. Its frowned upon to post the links publically. PM me and i'll send you the link to get your latest mission file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
