Help me with my first DayZ server

[kcuestag 6]

Hello DayZ Community!

I have rented my first DayZ server with Vilayer, and it runs great. The only thing is I am currently doing manual restarts every few hours to keep it lag-free.

Once I saw a server had an Admin who was entering a global red message before restarting so everyone could read it and notice it so people could save their vehicles/tents and not lose their items.

How can I send one of those server global red messages? I would like to warn the players few minutes before I restart the server.

Thank you all!

Okay, for this i use a program called BERcon, once you have the program you need to enter your servers IP, port and Rcon password, when BERcon is connected to your server you will need to type this not including the speech marks "say -1 thenyourmessagegoeshere"

Here is the link: http://www.battleye....oads/BERCon.exe

Will try it out!

Isn't it possible to make it access my IP automatically? Having to enter the IP / Port / Rcon PW every time I open the process is a huge hassle.

I dont think there is sorry :(

How do I make the message in red color? It is in white with that command you gave me.

Thank you.

First of all you can have a look in this thread: http://dayzmod.com/f...administration/

And the solution for you would be BEC: http://ibattle.org/

BEC do it all automatic with the right settings and when the server and BEC is running as a service.

But i don´t know if it´s possible to setup these at vilayer. I don´t think so.
