Ban.txt

[munkie 40]

Hi all, UK410 is having some issues.

A ban.txt file keeps appearing in the root of the server, so not the usual :

/cfgdayz/BattlEye

this file holds only player ID's and simply tells the player 'You Were Banned'

Here is a video from one of our regular players:

Any help would be great, i will continue to delete this file.

1. Is this a managed server?

2. Who is it hosted by?

3. Is it dedicated?

Hi, it is a dedi, not managed as such as i manage it.

It is hosted by Rackage, doubt that will mean much to you!

Yep.

For a lot of hosting providers, a ban.txt DOES appear in the root. But that's not for in-game bans... That is still located in your HFBchernarus, or chernarus, or whatever directory / world you're utilizing.

I agree, but this file is being read, and used.

Basicly that file keeps coming back in the root of your server? If so I'd take it up with your hoster mate.. That isnt normal. The dayzmod shouldnt write data in the root. Plus if it reads that banfile it should be mentioned (probably) in a server.cfg filesomewhere.

see your server cfg file You most likely got somewher ban instead kick as rule

example:

onHackedData = "ban (_this select 0)";

so change it to

onHackedData = "kick (_this select 0)";

You sir are a gent!

Spot on, we/i/an admin has changed it to this:

onHackedData = "ban (_this select 0)";

Which to be fair, i would consider, but thank you!!

Now set to kick.
