DE10 - Server Thread <(^-^<) <(^-^)> (>^-^)>

[Andrej Dudev 50]

Sometime I join DE10 (and I say: DE10 DE10DE10DE10DE10 from the motd ) and from my experience I can say that this one is of the most reliable and stable servers in europe.

[Champy 0]

You run a very very good server Caspar! I always play on DE10.

However, around 11 hours ago, I "saved" a motorcycle in a forest behind a tree, almost unnoticable. When I logged in just now, it was gone. I'm ruling out the possibility of it being stolen, so I reckon it has something to do with the server restart?

[caspar 17]

@Champy,

Hello Champy, i've checked the logs, and the disappearance has nothing to do with the server restart. Please understand that i don't want to reveal any further information about ingame actions to protect the InGame Feeling.

@Andrej Dudev,

thanks, it's nice to hear something like this from time to time. But i am already used to don't get any positive feedback. There is even a common sentence in my Region which could be translated to this: No bitching is praise enough :)

[Champy 0]

Hi Caspar. I completely understand and agree with that. I wouldn't want you to reveal who and if they were stolen (I don't think you could if you would. Server logs doesn't show any information about specific vehicles do they?), but the motorcycle was in a remote area, and it was practically invisible to anyone who would wander around in the area, which is why I find it being stolen highly unlikely.

I'll check back later today, and if its still gone then I'll just have to find another one :-)

[Andrej Dudev 50]

I have a question, in Arma2 server browser I can see from the name of DE10 server that there is the latest beta patch (93965) BUT looking at the information panel in the right low corner it claims that is required another beta patch.

I speak by ignorance and I don't know how this kind of servers things goes but I was just curious.

[caspar 17]

The Server is running Beta 93965, but i allow also connect 'older' beta clients to connect to the server. There are two reasons to do so:

- Sometime a Beta Patch will be published but wont give the user any advantage to have it installed.

- Also i want give the Player time to update to the next version instead of forcing them to do so.

Until yet i have no intention to change this behavior, except you have some reason which i am not aware of.

Yes, because 93958 beta patch allow server admins to decide if the equipment drop while swimming is enabled/disabled.

[93958] New: Dropping items while swimming can be disabled with "enableItemsDropping = 0;" in description.ext

I just want to know what do you think about this matter because allowing to swim would add something that 100% of servers don't have.

[caspar 17]

I think you are mixing now two topics. Client and Serverfeatures. The 'you arnt losing item while swimming' feature is a server side feature. Because DE10 is already using the latest patch and latest mission file it 'should' be already deactivated. You must not have the latest patch on the Client side to get affected by the Serverfeature.

But there are two things which preventing me to Announce this:

1.) Dev's can't actually guarantee it will really work.

2.) I can't test it myself because my Client RAID System is degraded and i prevent to play ArmA2 until my replacement hard drive will arrive (approximately Monday).

Just think about how angry player would be if i tell them, go on, just swim, nothing will happen and then they lose their beloved weapon ect.. Sorry, but as you should know already, i want to be reliable. Therefore i want to test it myself before i let other people lose their stuff. I'm just a little bit sad that you've stolen my little surprise for the new DE10 Server Update post :)

Ugh, I'm sorry; If you want I'll edit my messages to avoid the citation.

I hope you will be able to test it properly to announce the feature :D

Hallo Caspar,

[sorry for German language guys, just a bit lazy right now]

Viewing distance

Wir haben uns auf deinem server schon einmal darüber unterhalten.

Ich denke ich hatte Recht, viewing distance ist eine server side option.

Ich konnte das deutlich beobachten. Ich lag als sniper auf meiner position auf DE10, wechselte dann aber den server (no-zombie-bug).

Meine Sichtweite erhöhte sich um etwa 300m!

Auf beiden Servern war gutes Wetter, ich bin mir 90% sicher das es an einer server Einstellung liegt.

Auf DE10 wurde eine Straße ab ~450 m sozusagen ausgeblendet, nur noch eine verwaschene Textur deutet an dass dort eine Straße weiterführt.

Anderer Server: Konnte die Straße noch gute 150 m weiter bis zum Horizont beobachten. Auch ganze Häuser in größerer Entfernung sind auf DE10 nicht aufgetaucht.

Wäre klasse wenn du da was machen könntest.

Komme in jedem Fall trotzdem wieder, klasse server! :)

i've warned 5 minutes before the System will restart in 1 Minutes steps, so you must missed the messages. They appear as Red Text, didn't you read them? I guess other have seen them because they left the server afterwards.

<<<<

I think my game was bugged at that point then xD cause I didnt see any chat, hadnt seen it the other server restarts ive tried here so I must have been blind back then xD sorry

Busses are bugged anyways, you can't save them, not on mine or any other Server. Didn't you asked yourself why you see them often in crowded regions? Because nobody can drive them away and 'hold/save' them there. Sorry i didn't told you this before, but i thought this is already common knowledge :S Any other vehicle works so far.

<<<<

Ive saves some on other servers, must have been lucky... glad to hear its a common thing so i know in the future :), just got abit upset cause ive had the previous experiences with admins and servers removing our vehicle stacks

PS. I belive ya :) no need for serverlog ..

QUICK INFO: Server is doing the locked thingy again with less and less people

[caspar 17]

@Corvax, thanks for the info. I deactivated BEC for now until i figure out how to stabilize it. Also i manual unlocked the Server, people are already joining again.

@GodOfGrain,

The View Distance is configured on the Mission File which i am strictly forbidden to modify! All Server should have the same View Distance of 1600, no more, no less. Due the fact i have the latest edition of the mission file it has the view distance the Devs of DayZ want to have.

Sorry but i cant raise it :S

EDIT:

i can't find any traces of the distance attribute in the latest mission file anymore. I am asking in the DayZ Server Admin chat if i am allowed to raise it.

[Corvax (DayZ) 15]

Think server is crashing xD .. maybe the clean up thing or the 50 players.. been alot of small random continouis lagspikes for me and my friends the last 30 minutes.. now we are getting major fps lag and kicked off from battleeye not responding.

It might be those constantly 5-10 people loading into the game xD .. sorry to keep posting here,

We are gonna stick with this server :)

[caspar 17]

Hi Corvax,

i will set back the Slots to 40, therefore i will restart the server within the next ~3 Minutes. I will also check the Logs with my LagMeter to check the lags and try to figure out where they come from. Today is not a good one for me ^^ so much to do and so less time.

Awsome.. I really hope Im not bugging you :D please tell me if I do..

We very much appreciate the work you do and realize it is alot of work getting this kinda thing right, glad to see your pushing to test the limits :)

[caspar 17]

23.06.2012 - Slot Count Change and BEC Deactivated

- Due the problem that BEC locks the server without any reason, i've deactivated BEC for now.

- Also previous raise to 50 Slots caused to much lags so i reduced it again to 40.

- You NEED now latest Beta Patched Client (min. 93965) to connect to DE10!

[Corvax (DayZ) 15]

We got busses back, it wasent a vehicle bug, they were where i saved em.. it was the bad server restart that happens sometimes, at least im pretty sure, cause it also did the night time switch right there.. turning the time several hours..

After you restarted down to 40 slots again they came back

[tspriv@gmail.com 0]

We just had our tents respawned after we moved them, still without loot though :( but i dno if u should report it as somekind of duping method.

[Corvax (DayZ) 15]

either server is bugged up crashing soon or someons is hacking it xD just saw 30 red messages for a guy with altered files.. and we keep getting kicked off by battleeye

[Andrej Dudev 50]

I can confirm this but it seems that there are database-wise errors everywhere.

[caspar 17]

@Corvax, Then i can't do anything against those bad 'boot ups'. they are following always the same way and i can't see any error which would explain why the last time the busses were away, and the other time they came back.

@tsv84,

your tents were clearly raided, the only 'mysterious' part was that they got lost and reappeared after the restart.

Thanks Caspar

Had a look at some forum threads, but people are more or less guessing about this topic. Couldnt find any official statement.

[ShinglesMcRuff 0]

Hey Caspar!

Great server you have set up! Im loving the netconfig you use and the lag we dont have to suffer under :)

Now i dont mind you not revealing any ingame information on forum, i just want to make sure you still investigate hacking matters and such ?

I have played on DE 10 for some weeks now, i have been alive currently for 24+ hours, and i have yet to see a vehicle..

Im guessing they are hoarded up by small groups, or perhaps you, like on all other servers.

Anyways ill keep searching. Thanks for a lagfree server.

See you ingame.

[caspar 17]

@ShinglesMcRuff,

Hopefully it will be enough to say that i am actively searching for hackers ect.. I don't want to go in detail to prevent any kind of countermeasure.

Btw. about vehicles, i only 'hord' one quad, and due the fact i am not able to play since a couple of days i am even not sure if its where it should be. About the other vehicles, i can only tell you, there are some :)

@GodOfGrain,

i still have no official statement to this topic, you have to wait until then.

[Corvax (DayZ) 15]

Server bugged out.. stops all new loadin-ins with white "Waiting for character" screen :)

Btw when do you normally update the server ?, straight away when it comes out or always late in the evening or early in the morning..
