New server - name requirement

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, we have just purchased a game server, we currently have it labelled [TBR] The Bullet Runners, but i believe we have to set a name in the proper naming format, its a server based in DE, could someone please advice what the name should be changed to to meet naming reqs?

We hope to be a reliable and popular server, so come and give us a try.

The new format is:

DayZ - Location ID (version/beta buildnr) [difficulty][timezone] dayzmod.com - hosted by Customtext

With alternative long format (includes the city):

DayZ - Location ID OptionalCity (version/beta buildnr) [difficulty][timezone] dayzmod.com - hosted by Customtext

The Location SHOULD be the countrycode (international format) . US, DE, UK, SE and so forth.

Version should be the current dayz version running. Beta is which build/version of ARMA2 you are running. Other special versions may be added after this (try to write in similar style to other servers).

If you currently have a cityname in your server you can keep using it for a while, but we'll ask you to get a new countrycode ID and then name your server with the second format if you want to keep using citynames.

As for difficulty, you should enter REGULAR, VETERAN, EXPERT or similar.

If you got a custom setting you want to mention that differs from standard ,then use the following:

3DP:ON <-- thirdperson on

3DP:OFF <-- thirdperson off

CH:ON <-- crosshair on

CH:OFF <-- crosshair off

RP <-- roleplay server

Timezone should be valid international timezone.

Customtext can be either your name or the url of your page.

Example valid servernames could be (servernames below are entirely fictional.. sort of):

DayZ - SE 1 (v1.7.0/Beta 12345) [VETERAN 3DP:OFF][GMT+2] dayzmod.com - hosted by DayZDevs

DayZ - SE 5 (v1.7.0/Beta 12345) [REGULAR RP][GMT+2] dayzmod.com - hosted by DayZDevs

DayZ - SE 1 STOCKHOLM (v1.7.0/Beta 12345) [VETERAN 3DP:OFF][GMT+2] dayzmod.com - hosted by DayZDevs

@ LVG

In the future, could you PLEASE suggest the Nametags option along with the others. I simply refuse to play on servers which enable nametags but very few servers include this info in the server name.

"Hello. My name is ____________"

"I am currently XXX distance from the barrel of your gun."

"I know you can't actually see me, I'm over here behind the rock. No not THAT rock, this one over here \o/"

It's completely ridiculous to have nametags in a setting such as DayZ. Please encourage people to turn it off (or at the very least mention the server Nametag setting in the server name).

Thanks

SK

Servers set to Veteran should not have nametags. I think that is hard-coded into the Veteran difficulty profile.

Can anyone confirm/deny that?

Ok server is now named

DayZ - DE #123 (v1.7.1.5/Beta93965)[Regular NP:OFF]dayzmod.com - [TBR]The Bullet Runners | Vilayer.com

its a 50 slot server but weve reduced it to 30 until 1.7.2 as vehicle lag was pretty bad.
