How to enable deathmessages and global chat?

[msn4nerds@hotmail.com 1]

Hello, Since a few days we have our own server at ZAP HOSTING for 40 players streaming to the hive,

My problem is getting the server to show deathmessages and getting global chat to work.

I contact the hosting provider but these "SKILLED" folks needed 4 days to come up with 2 sentances

1 the server is running stable therefore not our problem (we already have your money so stfu)

2 if you need further assistance in the matter f*ck off to the dayzmod.com page and complain there over their alfa state game

(as understandeble these were not the exact phrases but it sums up the general point being made on their part quite well!!!)

so here i am.......

Now this is what our config file looks like . it nowhere near resembles from the configs I,ve seen posted all over this board (prolly from other (BETTER!!!!) hosters)

// Attention: Please do not edit "DayZ - [LOCAL ID] (v1.7.2.5/BETA 96061)[3P:on CH:off]dayzmod.com"

reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com";

class DayZ {

template = dayz_12427.Chernarus;

difficulty = "veteran"; // change this for other difficulty settings, regular, expert is valid

};

};

*******************************************************************************************************************

I expected with this (below) settings set as they are , it would work but it doesn't

// INGAME SETTINGS

disableVoN = 0; // If set to 1, Voice over Net will not be available

vonCodecQuality = 10; // Quality from 1 to 10

does anybody have a clue as to WHO WHAT WHERE? since im going crazy about trying to figure it out and going mental about the lack of support from www.Zap-Hosting.com boy are these folks there a bunch of unsupporting clueless b*stards.

Tnx for reading all the way through dispite my rantings....

I have the same provider, share some of the same issues, but that aside you are looking at the wrong file.

Go to cfgdayz/users/cfgdayz/ArmA2OAProfile

Edit this file and then look under your difficulty for the following line; Set DeathMessages=1;

class Veteran

{

class Flags

{

Armor=1;

FriendlyTag=0;

EnemyTag=0;

HUD=1;

HUDPerm=0;

HUDWp=1;

HUDWpPerm=0;

WeaponCursor=1;

AutoAim=0;

AutoGuideAT=0;

3rdPersonView=1;

ClockIndicator=0;

Map=0;

Tracers=0;

AutoSpot=0;

UltraAI=0;

DeathMessages=1;

NetStats=1;

VonID=1;

};

skillFriendly=0.75;

skillEnemy=0.75;

precisionFriendly=0.75;

precisionEnemy=0.75;

Edit//

Oh, i didn't add the global chat one, because from my understanding it is not allowed and i really don't know,
