Well, depending on what you are trying to do, DayZ Server Control Center is pretty simple. :-)

Hi I am also looking for a tutorial as I have followed the following but get waiting for host when I try and connect and as far as Control Center is concerned the website is currently in maintenance.

 

Database:

 

Install and setup mysql https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ensure it uses 3306 as its connection port

 

Download and install HediSQL http://www.heidisql.....4984_Setup.exethen connect to your server with the credentials used in the mysql setup

 

Create a database called hivemind. Connect to hivemind. 

 

Run the SQL's included in the server package on your new hivemind database. (this will create the database for you) http://se1.dayz.nu/l...6/SQL 1.8.6.rar

 

 

Server Installation:

 

Copy the addons folder from C:/your arma 2  installation folder/ to C:/your arma 2 oa installation folder/ (there are other ways to do this but this is the easiest)

 

Download and install(extract to) your client files (http://se1.dayz.nu/l....8.6.1-Full.rar) in  C:/your arma 2 oa installation folder/

 

Download and install(extract to) your server files (http://se1.dayz.nu/l....8.6.1-Full.rar) in  C:/your arma 2 oa installation folder/

 

Copy the items inside the "keys" folder located in the server package/files to C:/your arma 2 oa installation folder/keys and C:/your arma 2 oa installation folder/expansion/keys

 

Copy the items inside the https://github.com/D...attleye-Filtersto  C:/your arma 2 oa installation folder/cfgdayz/BattlEye

 

Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 x86 Redistributable http://www.microsoft...ls.aspx?id=8328

 

 

Server setup. Very basic just enough to get it running and connectable to add custom stuff you will need more config edits:

 

Enter C:\your arma oa installaton folder\cfgdayz and edit HiveExt.ini in the section that says:

 

Spoiler

[Database]

;Hostname or IP of the server to connect to

;You can use the value "." (without quotes) to indicate named-pipe localhost connection

;If you leave this line commented or blank, HiveExt will connect to the OFFICIAL Hive, which requires registration

;See support.dayzmod.com for more information on what OFFICIAL Hive means, what are the rules, etc.

;If using OFFICIAL hive, the rest of the settings in this section have no effect

Host =  127.0.0.1 you may need to change this to your external ip but usually this is fine

 

 

;The default is MySql, which is better supported than Postgre (completely untested)

Type = MySql

 

;Port to connect to. The default is the default listening port of a server of the selected Type

;Instead of specifying Port, you can specify Socket and set Value to the socket name

Port = 3306

 

;Database name to connect to (you must supply this if private).

Database = hivemind

;Username to connect with

Username = yourusername

;Password to authenticate with (default is blank)

Password = yourpassword

 

navigate to  C:\your arma oa installaton folder\cfgdayz  and open server.cfg in the file navigate to:

 

Spoiler

// STEAM SETTINGS

 

and change to what is between it and "//voting" to

 

Spoiler

// STEAM SETTINGS
steamPort = 8792;
steamQueryPort = 27032;

 

so it looks like 

 

Spoiler

// STEAM SETTINGS
steamPort = 8792;
steamQueryPort = 27032;

// VOTING-
voteMissionPlayers = 1; // Tells the server how many people must connect so that it displays the mission selection screen.
voteThreshold = 2; // 33% or more players need to vote for something, for example an admin or a new map, to become effective

 

Then in the install directory (C:/your arma 2 oa installation folder/) create a new .txt document. in the document add the following:

 

Spoiler

@echo off

 

:start

 

:: start the server..

set dayzpath="C:\your arma 2 oa insallation folder\"

cd /d %dayzpath%

start "dayz" /min "arma2oaserver.exe" -port=2302 "-config=cfgdayz\server.cfg" "-cfg=cfgdayz\basic.cfg" "-maxMem=2047" -cpuCount=2 "-profiles=cfgdayz" "-name=cfgdayz" "-mod=@dayz;@hive;"

 

 

timeout 21600

 

 

 

 

taskkill /im arma2oaserver.exe /F

 

timeout 145

 

goto start

 

save the file as restarter.txt , once completed rename the extension to .bat leaving you with a file called "restarter.bat"

 

Double click the restarter.bat, the server should start and restart every 6 hours. But don't close the terminal window it is counting down for you. Enjoy. 

 

You will need unblock tcp/udp ports for 2302 if you haven't already and/or forward them if you are behind a router. 

 

I am doing this all from memory so if you hit any snags let me know i may have left something out.

 

Thanks in advance
