Get on the 1.7.2.5 Train while its good...

[semipr0 402]

Script suites aren't currently updated to work with it. Been some amusing discussion on a site I follow to see what the tangos are up to and seems they can't even spawn vehicles at the moment without literally sacrificing a goat (don't ask me how occult rituals come into it).

We've had a really nice day on our server. Fairly good population and absolutely zero hacks the entire day.

So they are not hackers, they just do some satanic rituals to get a car by killing a goat.

i´d love to, srsly! But 1.7.2.5 ain´t working for me. I got the stuck on loading problem. I am only able to play on servers with the 1.7.2.4 version and an outdated Betabuild. And when i do so, i´ll spawn on the beach :) So i have to wait till they fixed that. But i am glad to hear good news on the forums. i started to feel like reading the newspaper when i am coming here, only bad news you know ;)

I ran into my first scripter on 1.7.2.5 earlier this morning. Teleported near us -> went invis -> teleported his friend there then they killed us.

Still though there are much much less than on 1.7.2.4 servers.

You might have been looking at the wrong sites then. Bypasses have been updated to fully work in latest DayZ patch and Arma2 Beta patch.

I'll tell you something even funnier....The script / bypass to download the server config and RCon config of any server you are playing on has been made semi-public (this means it has been made public to all those script-kiddies)

You know what that means?

Any script running person that logs on to your server can leech the server config and the BEserver config. The server config will contain the ingame admin password and the BEserver config contains the password to connect to your server through RCon / BeRcon. This gives anyone who has it more or less control over your server.

Oh, and apparently this issue has been know for over a year (ARMA 2 thingie) and easily avoidable. Still the serverhosters out there (Vilayer for one) use the default paths and filenames for every single slotted server they rent out!

So not only do hackers run the show ingame, prepare your slotted gameserver to be taken over. Have fun!

Eh well I had one nice day at least. Been awhile since I was able to actually PLAY the game, and not spend all my time scanning log files.

Well that is just unfortunate. I knew that the script was out there but that makes me sad that it is released to the public. Gonna be the same outcome as when the thunderdome and mass kill scripts were released to the public.
