New server admin - Need some help.

[Huey (DayZ) 87]

Dear all,

So i rented a DAYZ Server on sunday, it`s working great.

So i figured out how the config files kinda work. I can set the server name (which i did), i can set a MOTD, login as admin on my server while ingame, changed server to Veteran, disabled some options like name-tags etc.

I do have a few questions, either my eyes, or google failed on me :

1) Configure a max ping on the server (say 150 ms) to prevent people from Antaritica ^^ connecting to my server (i want to use the cfg files as much as i can).

2) Configure "Reverse Timezone" in the server.cfg? People here in Europe want to play in day light when they get home from work.

3) A person from DAYZ DEV team told me there`s a Server-Admin channel on IRC, i found the channel but it`s passworded (Can someone PM me the password, or give me a name so i can bug this person? :)

4) Same for the Server-Admin google group?

I have more questions / problems but trying to figure them as we speak :)

Thanks in advance for any replies!

ingame time runs on the servers actual timezone. Ping does not affect gameplay, so max ping does not matter but I suppose if you want to you can piss some people off by implementing it.

Thanks Rocketa,

I did noticed REVERSED time-zone servers located in the EU. So it seems to be possible.

I might be wrong here but if allot of people with high pings, say 150-250ms connect to my server, wouldn`t that cause lag for the others?

I mean, if 1 person really lags on a Arma Server, other players will be effected (Arma`s token system) ?

Edit the cfg file that contains your rcon password.

At work just now, so can't remember the exact name, sure it starts with Be..

Add

Max Ping 150

Or whatever you want. Restart server and that's it. Will maintain that setting on every restart.

1.) http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BattlEye#Sample_beserver.cfg - MaxPing

3.) Please contact the Dev's over this Board. We arn't allowed to give it away.

4.) Please contact the Dev's over this Board. No Serveradmin is able to grant you this.

Let me bug some of the DEVs (hate doing that).

Thanks Caspar!
