Vilayer Server help

[Alex87 (DayZ) 0]

Hi,

Im new to hosting servers and having some problems and can't seem to find any help on the Vilayer website, but i'll explain the situation;

Me and a reasonably large group of friends have decided that hackers and what-not are not for us, so we decided that we would host our own server and see how we got on, our plan was to have it on a private hive and lock it as there is enough of us for a full server and we all know that none of us are hackers.

The problems i am having after setting up the managed server are numerous, for starters; after recieving the email saying my server had been installed, i followed the link, entered the required information and got to the server config page, i changed the maximum number of vehicles and decided to try the server to see if it worked ok but i cannot get the server to start, it just keeps loading and never actually does anything.

I also wanted to have our private server on Lingor island as we are all agree that it is our favourite map, it says i need to install "Vilayer Code Update v2.1 & Arma2OA 97239", but when i try to do this it fails after extracting with the message:Error - Access to the path 'E:\TCAFiles\Users\AlexF\3487\perl\perl\bin\libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll' is denied.

My list of problems could go on - as i say im totally new to server hosting and to be fair i am relatively new to pc gaming, although i am computer literate some of the server configurations are totally alien to me.

If someone who hosts a vilayer server would be willing to guide me through what i have to do, i would really appreciate it, i know its probably a pain in the arse but even if you could just tell me the basics im sure i could figure the rest out as i go along.

If anyone can help i have skype which im sure would be easier than explaining it all through a wall of text like the above, Just DM me and il send over my skype name.

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Why not just contacting vilayer? It would be much easier for them to help you out + your paying them for support.

That's a fair point but I can't find any customer service details on the site anywhere.

I've spent all evening trying to figure it out.

We also wanted to lock a server down for clan only play, but were told it would not start as it cannot connect to the vilayer hive [forget the name] so at the time of asking it was impossible to start it up.

The guy you need to talk to at vilayer is called Lee.

Off the top of my head, i think the TS ip is; ts3.vilayer.com

So I take it the support ticket is the answer?

I'll give it a good go, thanks.

Update: I have sent my problem to Vilayer.com through a support ticket, hopefully they come back soon and I can get the server up and running asap.

I have a Vilayer server and had a few issues when I started it. They responded most times within 10-15 minutes and fixed all my issues. Have not had any problems since.

Tried stoping the server and uninstalling everything before proceeding on the new update installation ?

Also I'd love to know what is the max vehicle amount you set or been able to set .

[Dictator (DayZ) 0]

Also before you apply any settings you must stop the server .

Sorry for the double post just don't have edit since I'm browsing on phone :P

I managed to set it to 30 vehicles for chernarus but i think this can be increased if i change the map to lingor island.

I cant get the server to start let alone stop it again, but i am aware that it needs to be stopped if i am to make any changes.

Not sure what i would have to uninstall, other than the files i have to play DayZ without a server.

Still waiting for a response from Vilayer.com, i still appreciate any help you guys can give me.

There is a mod manager , uninstall your current map ( btw database stays untouched ) then try installing the newest patch .

Eventho it might be a bit more problematic since you are not even able to stop the server .

And I guess we are on the same boat for now the Max vehicles you are able to set on all of the maps can't exceed 30 sadly . Hopefully it gets changed in the future .

Oh nvm it won't start , the newest update says it shall fix the start problem I think lemme check it one moment .

Im thinking i might have missed something... surely it should just start if i click start? im not too fussed about getting it on lingor island for the moment, i just want the damned thing to start lol.

apparently it has started, only when i try to join it just says "waiting for host", any ideas?

[Dictator (DayZ) 0]

I'd try installing / reinstalling the mods and the latest update if it's possible after it , the update says it should fix the problem with loading the server .

If you wish , I'll be back at home in like 2 hours just create a user for me for few minutes and I'll try to set things up of you don't figure it out or get an answer from the support .

Let's just say I had something very similar to this at the very start , but it turned on fine as long as I remember .

[Dictator (DayZ) 0]

If it has started , it takes about 5 minutes to fully start working.

So it shall be fine in few minutes , if not just reload the game.

Okay, the server had started, it still said waiting for host so i have tried to restart it....

Currently it is still "starting" and has been for a while.

Edit: i have just been informed by a friend that i need an Instance id? i have sent another ticket to Vilayer.com asking for this but at the rate this is going im not going to hold my breath.

The server should have been set up everything by default , you just have to place your settings in config files and start it .

I'll be home in about 30 minutes or 40 . Currently going back from work on a bus .

Try playing with settings in configuration files , of course while the server is stopped , and trying to stop and running it again - last time I used the support they have answered after 6 hours or so.

I suggest you still play around with settings and mods/updates uninstalling and installing back + make sure you have latest update of vilayer installed

[dzemboc@yahoo.com 5]

Yeah they need to create the I'd....they will fill in the server name for u . Had same issue.......make sure you mark it a high priority.

How long did it take for you? they have already changed the server name to what we requested so i would have thought it was done?

[dzemboc@yahoo.com 5]

Took about 20 min or so

If you can help in any way that would be great.
