Publicvariable logs

[tickle_me_jesus 37]

Guys,

after the latest change to the publicvariable.txt file there seems to be a lot more 'spam' in the logs.

1 "" !"drn_AskServerDynamicWeatherEventArgs" !"dayzLogin" !"dayzLogin2" !"dayzLoginRecord" !"dayzCharDisco" !"dayzPlayerSave" !"usecBleed" !"dayzHit" !"usecTransfuse" !"usecBandage" !"dayzPlayerMorph" !"usecPainK" !"usecEpi" !"dayzPublishObj" !"dayzRoadFlare" !"dayzDiscoAdd" !"dayzGutBody" !"dayzHideBody" !"dayzDeleteObj" !"dayzUpdateVehicle" !"dayzSetFix" !"dayzHumanity" !"dayzDiscoRem" !"usecMorphine" !"dayzSetFuel" !"dayzFlies" !"changeCharacter" !"dayzSwitch" !"dayzFire" !"norrnRaDrag" !"norrnR180" !"norrnRalie" !"norrnRALW" !"norrnRACarUp" !"norrnRAPicUp" !"norrnRnoAnim" !"remExField" !"BIS_MPF_logic" !"remExFP" !"dayzDeath" !"player" !"drn_DynamicWeatherEventArgs"
5 "teleported"
1 "nil"
1 "true"
1" false"
1 "remExFP"
1 "remExField"
1 "BIS_MPF_logic"
1 "JIPrequest"
1 "dayzDeath"
//1 "player"

Now,

I would very much appreciate it if we could get some sort of public conversation out here about what to look for in the new logs. I am a bit lost because of all the entries.

For instance the JIPrequest is logged now. But what does it mean when it shows? Something bad or just normal behavior?

14.09.2012 12:22:30: RoMpEr 50d1b58f77982c8d7eb91XXXXXXXX - #6 "remExField" = [<NULL-object>,,"JIPrequest"]

Only entry for that player.

I hope we can get some feedback and help eachother out in this thread.

There's not much known about "proper' public variable behaviors yet. That's kind of why the "spam", as you put it, exists right now. Read the last few commit messages about publicvariable.txt for your answers:

Log message

logs are more spammy but quite informative, until future BE improvements it

needs to be visible

Modified: publicvariable.txt

This exact process happened with all the other filter files a few weeks ago.

[1] Log everything

[2] Start making exemptions for known good behaviors

[3] Continue to watch for patterns of good/bad behavior, exempting or adding kick rules accordingly

[4] After several weeks of empirical data is under our belts, remove what is considered excess logging

You'll just have to deal with the spamminess for now. No one really knows (yet) what kinds of crud will show up there when people are hacking. That's why more data is being logged so the maintainers can figure it out and adapt it accordingly.

You seem angry/frustrated that people are working on trying to improve these filters through experimentation and testing vs. just instantly pulling out a completely accurate anti-hack filter from the ether. Calm it down a bit.

As far as I can tell, the remExField stuff is normal behavior for normal players.

What gave you that idea? I am far from angry and am quite happy that the publicvariable.txt was added because of the use of PV by scripters after the remoteexec got mainstream. I'm sorry but I fail to understand where in my post I gave you the impression of being angry or frustrated.

I was just posting this and hoping we can share some knowledge on the subject and help eachother out as admins. I know my knowledge as far as knowing what to look for is quite small, so anyone with more knowledge might help.

That is all I intended with this thread.

Calm it down a bit

That was really uncalled for!

Since this thread is on track to be derailed, lets try to get back on the question...

Can anyone answer on the posters question below? I myself am curious as to what this particular message means.
