Banned from US 3370 - Hosted by Katet Clan

[Deadchicken (DayZ) 1]

I'm not sure what to say, I logged off yesterday in my barn, and logged in today to find that I've been banned by the server's admin? The server is hosted by Katet Clan, and I'd like some information about this, as I have done nothing to deserve this ban.

Could someone explain to me why this has happened, and what I'm supposed to have done?

Any information regarding this server or any ways I can get into contact with it's admins would be appreciated, as I play there with a group of friends, and now this has soured things to great extent.

[pl0xy 3]

I too have just tried to log on this very instant to the server in question only to receive the following ban reason "BattleEye: Admin Ban (really, scripting in wire isn't worth it)" I have never used scripts and have no intention of doing so, if it wasn't for the 7 or so vehicles my group of friends and i painstakingly restored over the last few days i wouldn't really care as i can just get them to transfer our items from tents to another server, but the vehicles obviously cannot be moved.

Also, what is this "wire" which i have apparently been scripting inside?

Wire = Barbed wire.

Maybe the admin mistook a line in the logs that you have been using barbed wire as an entry that you spawned/hacked it.

[pl0xy 3]

Oh, that makes a bit more sense, the last thing i did on the server was place a load of tank traps and barbed wire around our base, but i never hacked any of it in, just farmed Fabric for a while with a few friends. :[

[NordernNoob 4]

guess the admin who banned you looked at a logfile or something, seeing all the tons of barbed wire & tank traps you put out

[cwc_shadow 70]

Yeah, would be my guess too. Some admins might think this is done by a cheater, but some players jsut gather tons of that stuff and then use it at once making them look suspicious. If that's the only suspicious in the logs, you shouldn't have been banned. Try to contact the admin, explain the situation and maybe even link him to this thread.

€dit: In the logs (createvehicle.log) barbed wire looks like this:

26.09.2012 10:10:37: PLAYERNAME (IP) GUID - #0 "Wire_cat1" 30:354 [6402,2587,6]

If an admin sees something like this:

26.09.2012 10:10:42: PLAYER 1 (IP) GUID - #0 "Wire_cat1" 30:354 [6402,2587,6]

26.09.2012 10:10:47: PLAYER 1 (IP) GUID - #0 "Wire_cat1" 30:354 [6402,2587,6]

26.09.2012 10:10:52: PLAYER 1 (IP) GUID - #0 "Wire_cat1" 30:354 [6402,2587,6]

26.09.2012 10:10:57: PLAYER 1 (IP) GUID - #0 "Wire_cat1" 30:354 [6402,2587,6]

26.09.2012 10:11:02: PLAYER 1 (IP) GUID - #0 "Wire_cat1" 30:354 [6402,2587,6]

He might think that the stuff was spawned by a hacked and ban the player. Especially in these days some admins are hyper-sensitive, even though some stuff can be totally elgit (like the above example).

[pl0xy 3]

Yeah, we just had piles of barbed wire and tank traps from farming fabric for vehicle parts. I'd try to get in touch with the admin but i don't know how, does anyone know if there is a list of contact info for the admins of servers or anything?

[xxblink 66]

I'm the admin, message me. We can work it out.

EDIT: Here's why I banned you. Yes, I'm new to this whole server admin thing, but after doing research, other people had said they banned for this, so we did.

[cwc_shadow 70]

@xxblink: If you are not used to that, it indeed looks fishy. But once you check the timestamps, you see that they most likely took the stuff from tents. Real cheaters/scripters spawn those stuff so fast (within seconds), but in this case there are often minutes between entries. In such cases I wouldn't ban for it so innocent players don't get punished. A hacker looks more like this.

That guy was reported to have spamed explosions. When checking the logs, I found out he spawned hundreds of hand grenades within seconds. No way a legit player can carry so many of those. If it would have been 20 grenades in like ~5 minutes, it would be possible he found a bunch in a tent and threw them away to troll the tent owner, but in this case he threw them faster than the animation in ArmA II allows. Sometimes 2-3 grenades per second. :rolleyes:

[pl0xy 3]

Yeah i was putting them around the place where we have our tents/vehicles, we had about 20 tank traps and wire fences when i was putting them up but only around 6 sand bags, was bored so thought it'd be a good time to start putting them up. Didn't realise i am only allowed to place a few at a time. My apologies, i will try to leave at least an hour between every set of 3 tank traps and one wire fence i put up so as to not be banned in the future :]

[Deadchicken (DayZ) 1]

Glad to see this has been resolved, I'd like to get back to this server..

[xxblink 66]

They've been unbanned. Thanks for your help, System98.

[NordernNoob 4]

Thanks alot xxblink, now we can get back in the game :) :thumbsup:

[pl0xy 3]

I'm still banned.

[NordernNoob 4]

Edit: Now server has been completely reset, all vehicles, tents and equipment are gone

And Pl0xy is still banned for the same reason.

[pl0xy 3]

Ok all fixed now./ Thanks :]

[Swineflew 480]

It's nice to see this forum work like intended every once in awhile. Glad everything worked out.

[xxblink 66]

Server restart has occasionally done that to us, but they come back after another restart almost every time. We've lost a car completely at least once. For people following this, their unban has been fixed. Just took a server restart for it.

[cwc_shadow 70]

@xxblink: You're welcome. ;)

Also sometimes tents etc. disappear if after a server restart players join too early. Then some local server scripts (the ones with tents f.e.) can't be loaded and they are gone. Another server reset usually fixed that. To ensure that doesn't happen on our server, we lock it for ~5 minutes during restart and tell the players still on the server to not join until it's in a playable state and unlocked itself. That works fine for us most of the time.

[xxblink 66]

How do you do that? I have an HFB server, and all I can do is set up the restarts and it just does them. I can't do anything else to it....Would love to have more control over this. And we didn't know that, so thanks for letting us know.

[cwc_shadow 70]

We have full root access so we use BEC (BattlEye Extended Controls) to lock the server in the scheduler a few minutes before each restart and unlock it 2 mins later.

[xxblink 66]

Ah. Do you host your own, or which host do you go through?

[cwc_shadow 70]

To be honest, I don't own the server, I'm "just" and admin helping out our owner to get the servvr secure and cheat/hacker-free. ;)

We have our own "root" server with full access, but I don't know which hoster.

[xxblink 66]

Cool. Thanks again!

[Fuse911 2]

We certainly do apologize for banning anyone unjustly. Please understand that we created our own server to spare our people from the endless hacking we encountered on most other servers. We are still new to this and we tend to be very cautious. We are trying our best to create a hack-free environment for our clan and the legitimate players that join us.

I appreciate all the valuable information that has been provided on this thread. If there are any further concerns please contact xxblink (Celeste) or Me, Fuse911 (Eric). We are also seeking new recuits into our clan. We are an adult clan and we play for fun. If interested, please message us here or at katet.clan@yahoo.com.

Thanks
