16:04:58 Player Brad kicked off by BattlEye: RemoteExec Restriction #40

16:04:58 Player Brad disconnected.

16:05:48 Player Merak Alosa disconnected.

16:05:48 BattlEye Server: Player #11 Merak Alosa disconnected

16:06:36 BattlEye Server: Player #2 Brad (72.182.46.37:10804) connected

16:09:23 BattlEye Server: (Direct) Leal: ayye

16:09:43 BattlEye Server: (Direct) Leal: can i get a blood pack?

16:09:47 BattlEye Server: (Direct) Leal: at 7k blood

This is where I see the restriction and decide to throw down ban.

16:10:45 Player Brad kicked off by BattlEye: Admin Kick (Admin Kick)

16:10:45 Player Brad disconnected.

Now, before I say anything more, yes I am using a private hive. This is the kind of stuff as to why I decided to do so. Feeling guilty or unsure about taking action against these kinds of players is frustrating beyond belief. I don't care if I don't "fraps" or "screenshot" hacking in action. Doing that usually means you die in the process and ya...basically your a human sacrifice just to prove it to whom? I don't need to prove that I'm capable of pointing out a hacker to someone i'll never see just to ban someone. Regardless, I'm sure i'll get flamed for saying that. The fact that Leal STATED CLEARLY he has hacked before and is now on a 2nd cd key should be more than enough proof. Brad spawning in all these items is CLEAR and to state otherwise is ignorant.

I have provided this so the public community can take action if they choose to do so. Here is the information needed if you want to.

16:06:37 BattlEye Server: Player #2 Brad - GUID: 8a44238045822ee6ce58386c6c941038

15:40:17 BattlEye Server: Player #11 Merak Alosa - GUID: 34c050a84319db760d5ed9a7525d4fb0

15:36:40 BattlEye Server: Player #10 Leal - GUID: 9653608374843a2fc07301617c5e712b

8:46:45 BattlEye Server: Player #6 Rusty - GUID: 5ecfcef2f27f84ef17f9fd3663e10afc

Rusty and Merak are subjective to personal choice. I say guilty by association so I think that warrants some sort of punishment. Willingly accepting items and or knowing that Brad was clearly spawning items and Leal clearly asking for items is good enough for me. You decide and let me know how you feel about this issue.

Knowingly accepting scripted gear is as bad as scripting it yourself especially when you ask them for the items, but I would have given the silly boys a warning that you ain't stupid and know what goes on in your server maybe not a direct ban. OK yeah early on I actually stuck my head in a box that I found on the beach but I didn't take anything that I shouldn't be using in DayZ so you could say I'm no better but now when a friendly scripter/hacker asks if I need any gear I tell them to look at what I'm carrying coz I don't need for anything (as you can see from my loadout in my signature)

I am not sure of the community at large but from my perspective, active admins who try to ensure the game play of their server be as even a playing field as possible is APPRECIATED. If I were the admin, the Hacker (Brad) and Leal for actively promoting it would be banned, plus he has done it before and would in short order get the "bypass" whatever that is and be another hacker screwing up the server. Isn't there any way you admin's can stop these guys from just creating this stuff out of thin air?

Honestly, there is really no permanent way to stop hacking except to actively monitor your logs like I do. When I see "Script restrictions" pop up while i'm in game, I will immediately assess if it's a Battleye mistake (happens to non hackers) or if it is actually a real hacker. If I determine they are indeed trying something (script etc) I will ban or warn them and kick depending on what they tried to do. In this case, definite ban was needed I feel since he was also sharing his exploit with others. I take no pity on people that can't play fair.

Agreed, people in-game who ask for items are just as bad as the scripters.

Assosiation on my server is punishable. Its all fun and games for some but in reality is ruining the experience for everyone else.

It's nice to know you are not the only one watching them.

[TheBrick 1]

You need access to your log files...you don't necessarily need to host but you do need to be the admin of your server. My server is hosted by Survival Servers but I do have access to my files.

Im pretty sure a good portion of the weapons in servers (especially official hive servers) are scripted in these days. Or at least duplicated. We run our own server and find a good couple of duplicated bodies scatted all over the map which unfortunately stay there till server restart. Pretty sure most of it is intentional although some may have been mistakes. All it takes is one L85, and one person to duplicate himself until all his friends have the same weapon, nightvision, GPS ect. I feel sorry for the new players on our servers who spawn on the beach and come up against that shit.

Unfortunately. Cant do anything about it until game becomes stand alone. =(

I hear ya. Unfortunately I feel standalone won't solve all problems. It's very sad though as I try to make server as fun for everybody as possible to discourage cheating. I even increased vehicle spawns and chance of them having repaired parts etc just so people would'nt be tempted to spawn in vehicles and whatnot. Plus with the map Lingor there is PLENTY of good weapons around. I dunno I feel once a hacker always a hacker. I even tried to reason with one the other night and he STILL hacked basically right after I warned him (this was after a script was used as well). It's really a bummer because I want my server to grow in popularity, and I feel everytime someone is doing well, it's just another hacker abusing the server to get ahead. Hurts not only fun but population and growth of game.
