autolicus 148 Posted July 1, 2012 ok i know the server restarts are there to help but could you guys somehow before you restart them give a person some sorta of warning.when you lose connection doing something it would be nice to leave yourself exposed giving warning of restart you can run away and hide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howichrgelazer 69 Posted July 1, 2012 Might help your cause if you mention what server so its server admin can implement warnings. I know a lot of admins who do already, including myself.It may have been a crash too, I wouldn't rule that out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inforis 3 Posted July 1, 2012 I was playing on AZ1 when the server restarted.it was an expert server but for some reason, when i relogged, the name changed from AZ1 to US57 AZ1 along with all the difficulty settings off.I wanted to leave the server since it wasn't expert anymore but since i have vehicles on it, i have to stay.It's ridiculous, i could see my UAZ through tags from 1km away.

domistyle 221 Posted July 1, 2012 I always warn my players before a restart and suggest them to get out of cars, save them and their tents.Except it crashes of course but then we can't do anything about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomnet@blueyonder.co.uk 17 Posted July 1, 2012 Is there a way to set up a automatic warning?I currently give a warning at 5 mins before, then every minute until my last warning at 30 secs before I restart.However that's only good if I'm online at the time of the auto restart.I'd like to be able to set it up so it every 28770 (=7 hours, 59 minutes and 30 secs) seconds is gives a '30 seconds until restart' warning.

Metamorphosis 1 Posted July 1, 2012 Best you can do atm is just add what times the server resets to your MOTD rotation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomnet@blueyonder.co.uk 17 Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah Ive done that bud but my concern is those times will be wrong should the server auto restart due to a crash as the 8 hour restart timer starts from time of last boot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karr1981 0 Posted July 1, 2012 can you announce restart from within server admin panel or do you have to log in and do it from within the server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howichrgelazer 69 Posted July 1, 2012 Use BattlEye Extended Controls and it's new scheduler for automated warnings, looping messages, and shutdowns. http://ibattle.org/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
