Can we get the kill command taken OUT of DayZ?

[KField86 237]

Alright, Listen... I know DayZ is a mod for Arma 2 and thus relies on scripts run in arma 2 in order to function, but is there anyway that rocket, and team, can basically remove this script from being run at all? It is entirely frustrating getting kill commanded by a hacker who opens his little cheat menu, highlights my name, and then presses "Execute" (Literally) and then I fall over and die. I can take the getting teleported and god mode, fine. At least I can ALT F4 out of the game. I know people are going to say "Wait for the standalone" but I'm asking if it's even possible. This type of command/script has no place in DayZ. I'm pretty sure we all know that.

I'll be here for the standalone, I'm a faithful fan(not quite a fanboy I'd say) and will be here for the long haul... but getting kill commanded is absolutely infuriating and I think you guys should really figure out a way to blacklist this script from even being run in the DayZMod.

Everyone knows the problem is bad. The battleye event logging feature came out, and it worked well for about 2 weeks. My server was kicking(and I was banning) people left and right for remote executions, but they've gotten around it by tricking the system. Oh, createvehicle kicks for "Ammobox"? Well, now hackers just write their script to spawn an ordinary medical box with all of the contents you'd find in a big ammo/weapon box so that the log will only log it, instead of kicking them. This happened to me today actually. I had a hacker teleport to me and salute, so I played along...being the admin I thought.. let me catch this guy in the act. So we were talking to him, and joking around and I said "Hey man, can you spawn me a weapon crate? I want a G36!" and he says "Sure thing." and a medical box spawns on the ground. I said "Isn't that just a medical box?" and he says "No, look inside of it. We can't spawn the regular ammobox anymore because logs kick for it" and that's when I said "You know what else hackers get kicked for? Being filmed and tricked by the fucking admin of this server. Enjoy your ban." Then I promptly restarted the server to get rid of the box.

I hate to go on a rant about hacks, but my main point is... if there is any way that the developers can simply make this "kill player" script cease to even function, as in, not just kick for it but actually goto the core of it and make it not work at all, you'd be going a long way in hacker prevention, and like I said I know this is going to be worked out in stand-alone but that's still months away and 24hr concurrent player numbers are on the decline for this reason, and rocket getting hacked live on twitch.tv just hammers the point home. Battleye isn't doing it for you man, and you know it's not. I hope some of the battleye guys have undercover accounts on the popular arma 2 cheating sites so they can figure out a better way to stop this shit.

I'm thankful dwarden and company released the new event logging, I truly am... but they've beaten the system again, and they did it quickly. We need to find a way to eliminate the bypass. Easier said than done.

I'm sorry though, this was a rant more than anything. Just got kill commanded on a server with 4 people, I was in a small residential with only one entrance and no windows, and I just fell over dead while going through my backpack. Then I watched everyone else on the server(besides the culprit) die while I was at the dead screen. Good game, and fuck you and your $15/2 week bypass program. If only your parents knew what you were using their credit card for. Go outside and throw a fucking frisbee or something. /rant off.

As far as the cd keys being stolen shit we're seeing battleye spamming on our servers, I truly have no remorse since this is happening when people click a link to download hacks on youtube. Karma.

I think the problem with removing the kill command is that you have to take it out of the engine, and if you do that other Arma mods and missions will stop working.

Hence, standalone.

That is one scripting command used to kill, removing it would break pretty much everything.

Playing along with the hacker and catching them in the act, FUCKING YENIUS!

If you take out the command, you wont be able to respawn, people will now be able to server jump as much as they want without a death penalty.
