BEC - Config File Has Invalid Format

Recommended Posts

No matter what I do I cannot get BEC to work. When I run it I get "Your config file has not a valid format". The only part of the config file I uncommented is:

Ip = 127.0.0.1

Port = 2302

BePath = C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\cfgdayz\BattlEye

LogDir = C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\BEC\Log

Admins = Admins_Example.xml

Commands = Commands_Example.xml

Anyone run into this?

This is what my config looks like:

[Bec]
Ip = ***.***.224.154
Port = 2302
BePath = Z:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\cfgdayz\BattlEye
LogDir = DayZServ
Admins = Admins.xml
Commands = Commands.xml

[Misc]
ServerExeName = arma2oaserver.exe
WordFilterFile = BadWords.txt
Warnings = 3
Color = 0c
Timeout = 40
FloodControl = 3
KickLobbyIdlers = 300
Scheduler = Scheduler.xml

and the bat file (located in operation arrowhead folder) to start it:

cd /D Z:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead

BEC.EXE -f DayZ.cfg

Make sure ur config file is located in the /BEC/Config/ folder, i have my bec.exe located directly in /arma 2 operation arrowhead/ so my .cfg file is located in /arma 2 operation arrowhead/Config/

My bec.exe is in arma 2 operation arrowhead/bec and this is the config. The config files are in arma 2 oa/bec/Config. I'm 99% sure everything is fine. Something has to be wrong with the program.

Well that's stupid that they have those things commented out. Don't know why they need to do that. Uncommenting the heading of the config sections is just stupid haha. They should put something about that in the documentation. Thanks a lot!
