How to turn on deathMessages = 1

[limbless (DayZ) 7]

gday guys having trouble turning on deathMessages = 1 so i can see the hackers name when they mass kill us.

I've added the single line to the server.cfg but it doesnt work.

I've added it as part of the entire difficulty settings for server.cfg as well.

but we are still not getting "player A was killed by player B", only seeing "player A was killed" as it has always been.

Am i missing something?

Thakyou in advance.

The value isn't added to server.cfg, it's added to your ARMA2OAProfile (the one that defines all of your difficulty settings).

Also make sure you restart your server after.

I have a feeling it won't actually help though. Hackers aren't sending bullets across the map, they're just setting player damage through scripts to "1" (dead).

gday Sna.ke, thanks for the response mate, very much appreciated. i guess its worth a try, you wouldnt happen to know any way of making this auto logged in the console.log would you? the same place as players, guids, ip's, connects, disconnects are shown?
