symptom 185 Posted August 15, 2012 I was on my server last night and 2 hackers were teleporting to players and killing them. I tried to ban them with the ban button and the ban command and could not. All I could do was kick them. They would log back in and continue killing players. Then, somehow the hackers crashed my server and I had to perform a restart. They left us alone afterwards. Probably to rein havok on another server.Is there a trick to banning people?? I was logged in as admin, and don't know what I was doing wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allie (DayZ) 97 Posted August 15, 2012 If the Ban button does not work at least try get there ID. number.Ingame type : #userlist and find there name and number.If you are a known admin i presume you can give your information to BIS or Battle Eye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lentWolf 24 Posted August 15, 2012 Were you trying to ban them ingame (whilst playing), through the BERCON.exe, or through a third-party RCON tool?I never have an issue with banning people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gogster (DayZ) 626 Posted August 15, 2012 You can always ban them afterwards using the GUID and the bans.txt file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
symptom 185 Posted August 15, 2012 Guess I need to learn to ban. If someone wants to walk me through the steps of doing so, i would very much appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gogster (DayZ) 626 Posted August 15, 2012 Download the bans.txt file, add the ban in this format:guid -1 any text you want (this will appear when they try and log in)Stop server, delete bans file, re-upload your amended one, start server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwiechers 92 Posted August 15, 2012 You don't even need to stop your server, you can use the loadbans command if you have RCon. :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

symptom 185 Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) When I open the bans.txt there is nothing in the file. I added that lineguid -1 any text you want (this will appear when they try and log in) to an empty file and nothing happened. I guess I need everything in that file. Could one of you post the entire bans.txt that I need? And how do I unban someone?? Edited August 15, 2012 by Symptom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torndeco (DayZ) 46 Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Standard one from vilayer server i gothttp://pastebin.com/CvtbgRdJalso have a look @ http://code.google.c...munity-banlist/edit:- Also if your bans.txt is empty u prob should check & see your scripts.txt & remoteexec.txt & createvehicle.txt are there.
