Jumped ranking? So i take it you got your server to run new dayz than? cool.

So it was released today, from what i am reading. None of the launchers even have it. I would give it some time for everyone to switch. Hopefully soon

I can only assume when it's release is stable. They are not even done with it.

Actually, when you get a chance go into your steam and into your games list. right click on Arma2 verify cache integrity, (do same for DayZmod and Arma0a2) Launch Arma2. let it load up to the menu than exit. Do same for Armaoa2. Afterwards join any game with similar mods (i.e. map type and dayz version) If you get the same error let me know on top of the other questions i asked. sorry, it's hard to troubleshoot and wait. If you don't mind you can always post your mission.sqm file up here (zip it), i will check to see if those files are still in there or the count on the items are wrong

sorry, was MIA for a day or so, did you happen to remove anything before that error? or add? Also, did you copy your Arma2 into your Arma2OA by chance? Lot of times, it is a define issue and the batch can't read. Let me know.

Are you refering to the option in the Control Panel? Where it says Ark Update (Automatic)? I keep that enabled. But I also have a server restart time, so everytime it restarts (they take lot longer) it updates what it needs to. If that is not what you are referring to, than my bad.

I see lot of comments on Servers recently purchased not showing up in DayzLauncher. Stick with Similar products: You can get the SurvivalLauncher here. The Team came up with some pretty cool gadgets and unlike DayzLauncher, SurvivalLauncher includes, Arma2, Arma3 and Ark in one. It's pretty nifty and is updated. Nonetheless, you may just be eager to play so try this below. Take your ip from your control panel and type it into the field: HERE Look at your PORT number the one that looks like :2302 or whatever number on end. Because of the new ID and constant reused IP, you may have to +1 on rare occasions -1 So if you have a port with :2303 add 1 (2304). As always, if after 30minutes your server is still not showing up, always submit a support ticket, but during the time you wait for replies especially at strange hours, try the above, it is harmless. One thing I forgot to mention is you can also find the Steam Query Port assigned to your server through the FTP client. As long as you can access it, you can find this information in the server.cfg file in your Admin Folder. sometimes the ports are completely different

I am posting this to make it searchable for newbies. If you are always unsure of adding mods, make sure you put in a support ticket and just purchase the mod install, this ensures the server works properly. Installing AI Missions is Simple. 1. Download your Server.PBO from the Control Panel, and unpack your PBO 2. Download WAI 2.2.0 Attached to this post 3. Extract Zipped Folder 4. Copy WAI folder into the main directory of your Server PBO 5. Go to your system folder in the server directory and open server_monitor.sqf with Notepad ++ 6. Scroll to the bottom until you see allowConnection = true; sm_done = true; publicVariable "sm_done"; }; 7. Above allowConnection = true; paste this [] ExecVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\WAI\init.sqf"; Save, pack your pbo with some pbo manager. I use CPBO. And upload and restart. The config.sqf file in your WAI missions is where you can edit how your AI behaves. Remember to always save a copy. WAI.zip

Once it is fully finished will it be a consideration? https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/milestones/1.0.6

Oh sorry, i must have misunderstood that you were using the survival launcher. I dont really use it, it's just easier for me to use the reg dayzlauncher. I know you want the ssd to have the common folder (which contains all your games). But you have to specify that in your launcher (put the path directory there), however, the way steam reads games, it has batch and run files that are associated with that specific path. Separating the lock from the key and using a wire to connect them is what you are essentially doing. It's not worth the time, i also never tried that, so i can only assume all your games will have issues reading back to the other drive.

I thought all Trader inventory is (updated) unlimited replenishment for all Epoch and Non EPOCH versions? ) i.e. overpoch,origins. I also, know that just simply adding the CFG into the mission pbo for EPOCH ONLY, and changing the server_traders call from the init.sqf overrides the use of the database for inventory. I like your setup it's very organized though. good stuff. Thanks for the information

Servers take up to 30minutes to sometimes show up in the list just an fyi, sometimes longer. Best way to go about getting it faster is to add the server to the list manually through Dayz Launcher What ever your server ip is and the port number either +1 or -1. So if your port number is 2302, try 2301 or 2303. This is a query port that is added to the list for the launcher to find. This works for me everytime i had a new server

can you post here what mods you put in, a server ip so i can at least try to connect. list what mods you put in and how

just change directory

I noticed by default the Flip Vehicle script only works on larger vehicles (which most of us use), requiring 2 people. A simple look into the fnselfactions.sqf file can change it from 2 to 1 person needing to be near the vehicle. look for this section: // CURSOR TARGET VEHICLE if(_isVehicle) then { //flip vehicle small vehicles by your self && all other vehicles with help nearby if (!(canmove _cursorTarget) && (player distance _cursorTarget >= 2) && (count (crew _cursorTarget))== 0 && ((vectorUp _cursorTarget) select 2) < 0.5) then { _playersNear = {isPlayer _x} count (player nearEntities ["CAManBase", 6]); if(_isVehicletype || (_playersNear >= 2)) then { _player_flipveh = true; }; }; Where it says _playersNear>= 2, you will want to change that number to a 1. Save! PBO and upload to panel. Or change through FTP. Now you can flip all vehicles without the help from another person. All ground vehicles and some tanks.

I noticed a slight issue with the Napf Overpoch Origins map safezones. Many of them are in the wrong area. I compiled some coordinates to the major trader areas you can either copy and paste or just use the file associated with it, i only changed the coordinates in this file. Navigate to EPOCHMODS in your mission folder you downloaded or FTP, go to the folder called "Safe" Around line 17 you should see the list of coordinates, highlight the coordinates and copy paste into the selection what i have below COPY PASTE: [[8246.3184,15485.867],50,true],// Lenzburg [[15506.952,13229.368],100,true],// Emmen [[12399.751,5074.5273],75,true],// Schratten [[10398.626,8279.4619],50,true],// Bandit camp [[5149.9814,4864.1191],50,true],// Hero vendor [[2122.7954,7807.9878],50,true],// Wholesaler 1 [[5379.0342,16103.187],50,true],// Wholesaler 2 [[6772.8877,16983.27],50,true],// Boat dealer 1 [[16839.973,5264.0566],50,true]// Boat dealer 2 Or you may overwrite your file with mine. Just drag and drop. This is all assuming you have notepad++ and a compiler like cPBO or PBO manager. safezones.zip

First off, you can't have multidirectional brackets: \\\\ ///// Secondly ido you have steam installed on the SSD drive or did you install it on your reg drive? Thirdly did you try the steam directory change i posted above? From Yesterday: From Steam changing directory: Head to Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders and click “Add Library Folder”. Navigate to your new Steam library folder and create a new folder within it called steamapps . Then, create a folder in steamapps called common . Head to your current Steam folder and find the folder for the game you want to move Seems it would be easier to recreate it on the drive you would like than all your mods should download to that area.

Sorry didnt get to you sooner. Dont forget to keep copies of backups. before you do any changes always save a copy. I have a folder called ArmaBackup. But, i can't stress that enough. Also only upload one mod at a time and test each one. It's slow this way but you will find mistakes faster. Good luck.

I guess i am not understanding the question. 1. Do you have the game already installed? : If so reinstall select another drive 2. What mods? :if you are using the survivalservers launcher or dayz launcher mods, they automatically go into the steam directory/common/etc... (there is also a setting in both that lets you change the path in settings, but you have to have steam recognize it also. I would start over) If it's neither above only thing i can think of you want is the directory changed. Below is tips from Steam From Steam changing directory: Head to Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders and click “Add Library Folder”. Navigate to your new Steam library folder and create a new folder within it called steamapps . Then, create a folder in steamapps called common . Head to your current Steam folder and find the folder for the game you want to move

no just repack the PBO. is the init.sqf in that folder? just because you add the # in there doesnt mean it will find it. It has to be within the same folder for it to work that way and it also has to be defined. I would change how you call that file

yes, click on the ftp details in your panel, it will open a window to the list of files they have on their server. click on admin folder click on arma2oaserver.rpt scroll to very bottom to see the error. POST IT HERE OR CREATE A TICKET!

How are you uploading the mods? Are you stopping the server first? Are you adding them into the control panel? Do not alter your gameuserinit with this control panel. Do not alter anything do with mods. All you need to do, is stop the server, upload the mod to your mods folder, (i use filezilla), make sure it is in the folder by rechecking. Some mods take long time to transfer. Add that mod number to your control panel mod id list no commas unless you have multiple mods. There should never be a comma at the end like you posted. Disconnect from filezilla and restart your server via the bottom button Update Restart. Make sure mods are correct numbers. You will have to sometimes start the game and wait for the mods to download still. They all go through a system check and updates unless you uncheck the boxes. So give it time. Also if you are having issues just get a hold of the staff, Ryan is more than helpful. Just be nice to the staff they work very hard.

Here are the recommended (by me) tools you will need to mod files or just change some numeric values/true/false in config files. Let's begin. If you don't like some of the tools like 7zip, you can use winrar however, with being a coder for many years not just gaming, i recommend 7zip amongst winrar. 7zip is faster, lighter, safer and accurate. Winrar is heavy and slow and sloppy. Tools are very important to the user, much like regular tools are for plumbers/electricians. they all have a system standard of tools they all agree upon - you will never see a Good Mechanic with tools from Harborfreight tools company. You will see Craftsman, Snap-on and Husky. Likewise goes for computer users/coders. To each his own. But universally there is a standard. 1. Notepad ++ //This is better than notepad or wordpad because it organizes everything neatly and has coding functions. This is the tool most PHP programmers,Java,HTML,CSS use to get things done. This is your best friend. 2. 7-zip //the best open source free full use of program that does more than unzip. It's features have never been topped by any software yet. 3. Cpbo and Pbo managers. There are two inconsistencies. That is how they unpack and pack pbo's. Both sides of the users agree the other is crap lol. So this you will learn as you use it. Personally i find Cpbo to work for me. Others find PBO manager to work better. And vice versa. How you choose is up to you and how it works for you. i included both links. 4. ImageResizer for Windows. You will need this right click context added tool to your windows to resize images you create for your loading or splash screen. It is by far the simplest and fastest tool to use. It is also extremely convenient and safe. I will also include an attachment incase the link in the paragraph does not work. 5. Avast antivirus. Probably the fastest lightest most secure system out there that allows Real Time private browsing and free internet protection. It also lets you put it on silent gaming mode so you are not disturbed. Keep using the free version it works best. Also if you sign up with avast, you can post links to your account on Facebook or wherever, and if you get 7 people to download and install it, you will get 1yr Free Full program protection. 14 gives you 2 years and I believe some 21 gets your 3 years. THATS A DEAL I WOULD NOT PASS UP! Learn your Survival Servers Control panel. Watch the videos, ask questions and get involved in the community. Even if you are from another company, get on here get your friends on here and get everyone involved and build the Epoch Community for future gamers and games. -Thanks for reading ImageResizerSetup.zip

SERVICE POINT 2 MINUTE INSTALL MOD HERE This mod has all the stuff you need for a service point/station to work on your server with minimal virtually no coding experience. Step 1: Download Attachment (mine included has free service stations) Step 2: Unzip and put the "service_point" Folder into your custom folder in your mission root. (if you do not have a custom folder right click and make one, name it custom) Step 3: open your init.sqf and look for this area: if (!isDedicated) then { //Conduct map operations 0 fadeSound 0; waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"}; dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING"); execVM "custom\service_point\service_point.sqf"; <----------Thats where you put the line as shown(without red lol) //Run the player monitor Repack pbo, upload and restart! Enjoy! << personal information removed >> Notes: if you want to change the prices please open the folder, go to servicepoint.sqf and look for each setting refuel, rearm and repair it will look like so: // refuel settings _refuel_enable = true; // enable or disable the refuel option _refuel_costs = [ ["Air",["free"]], // Free ["Tank",["free"]], // Free ["AllVehicles",["free"]] // Free Change those to any denomination in each section you want. I leave it free as I only have PVE servers and it brings people into them trust me people like it better and more fun. Nobody likes going to servers and starting over all the time because of a server that has shutdown recently. Starting over sucks. So I gave it an ease of play on my servers and people love it. service_point.zip

Software/Tool/Suggestion: Something similar to DaRt for server owners where we can see who is in the server and what they are typing with an easy reply system, ban and kick. Would also be nice to have an option much like a checkmark box to not allow cursing or swearing/bad language offensive terms etc., and punish a player, maybe freeze them for 20seconds vulnerable to attacks with a warning message "Do not use bad language". Second time is kick. third is admin ban? Add a feature to Infistar(anyone can alter it) that allows making someone admin in game Easy Trader tool, click and add to the appropriately named trader with no need for database or cfgtraders
