BattlEye Extended Controls - Scheduler Question

[SubEclipse 22]

No such luck... here is my current Scheduler.xml file, which still does not work:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Scheduler>

<!--
*** INTERNAL COMMANDS ***
-->

<!--Heart Beat Check-->
<job id="0">
<time>000020</time>
<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
<loop>1</loop>
<cmd>say -1 Testing scheduler</cmd>
<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

</Scheduler>

Send me your info and I will take a look at it

Try removing the absolute path to scheduler.xml and use

Scheduler = Scheduler.xml

Will send in PM soon, thanks.

Try removing the absolute path to scheduler.xml and use

<code>Scheduler = Scheduler.xml</code>

This is what I have set currently... I removed the absolute path last night after realizing the Admins.xml file was working properly with the relative path.

[SubEclipse 22]

I figured it out!

My problem was simple... I hadn't uncommented [misc]

I bet this is the same solution for the op.

[ebianbluefox 29]

Yes you have to uncomment [misc] and [bec] for it to work

[jackwhitter 22]

OH, good catch! this was my problem as well! i was going crazy trying to figure out why i could not get it to read a simple schedule (one repeating message)

[Lith 80]

Boom! Thanks guys. I had to uncomment [Misc] myself.

[Distance 29]

You have a few issues... scheduler shouldn't be moved up to BEC, and you should use relative paths... You may want to use a log path w/o spaces as well.

For the uncommented lines, you should use:

[Bec]
Ip = 81.166.125.84
Port = 20100
BePath = C:\Users\JonnyBoy\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye
LogDir = NVLOG
Admins = Admins.xml
Commands = Commands.xml

[Misc]
Scheduler = Scheduler.xml

Then launch

bec.exe -f Myconfig.cfg

If the program opens and then quickly closes, you probably have set the path to your config file incorrectly... otherwise it will display the error in the command prompt window.

P.S. Guessing based on your file paths and port that this is a private server... I've only set this up on my public server, so I have no idea what else you may run into, but I would expect it should behave the same way.

[Distance 29]

ok thx m8 :) ill give it a shot :) i have access to the server files and the config.cfg file on the server has this path above may that be the right one? or should it be on my computer? 9443792/BattlEye/BEServer.cfg

[SubEclipse 22]

The config file you need to point BEC to is the BEC config file (which must be in the Config folder with your xml files for admins, scheduler, etc).

For instance... I have my BEC config file named "Myconfig.cfg" which is in the Config folder. The command I use to launch BEC is:

bec.exe -f Myconfig.cfg

One last thing, from your last post it sounded like maybe you were trying to run BEC on your PC, pointing it to a different server. I've never actually tried this scenario myself, and I'm not really sure if that's possible. I have BEC installed on my DayZ server.

[Distance 29]

ok so the cmd window is now up and running and dont close, i had to write e:\bec\bec.exe to make it run now i have some options here like -H for help and -f for filename, is it running now?

[Distance 29]

hmm, maby thats why i dont get it to run :S is there any other way to display som MOTD server restart messages? maby with Arma 2 Rcon or something?

i have rented this server from a company in norway. www.multigamer.no

If it's running, the first few lines in the window will look like this:

hmm, maby thats why i dont get it to run :S is there any other way to display som MOTD server restart messages? maby with Arma 2 Rcon or something?

If all you want to do is display some MOTD text, put them in the server.cfg file... ex:

motd[] = {
"DayZ is in alpha and as such bugs and frequent server restarts may occur!",
};
motdInterval = 1; // Time interval (in seconds) between each message

[Distance 29]

its not showing this 11:51:18 : Checking for updates...

so im gona guess its becus i dont have it installed on the server computer as i cant do that i guess ill have to contact the company i rented it from. yes i only want to show a warning 5 min before server restart and maby a count down from 10 sec to sero, server restart is scheduled to every 4th hour. so any good ideas on how to do that? should i make my own script and upload it to the server or should i just use that intervall command u posted, gona be hard to time it right tho :S

Yeah, that's a little different than a MOTD... You'll want to use something like BEC for those warnings (that's exactly what I do).

If it's a server rental, they may not allow you to execute files on your server as you could with a dedicated server.

Asking your server host is definitely the next step.

This looks like it's not finding your BEC config file

No prob... good luck.

[domistyle 221]

Is there a proper way to restart the server by the way?

Do I have to use #restart or #shutdown?

From what I have seen #restart only reloads the mission, but I would like to shutdown the server and start it again.

I configured BEC to use #shutdown for now but I were not able to test if it restarts it after shutting it down yet.

Is it possible like this or do I have to use a batch file for this?

Edited August 3, 2012 by DomiStyle

[Lith 80]

I just use a batch file to restart the service I have created. I used to use a batch file to kill the process before I decided to make it a service.
