B.E.C. "Battleye Extended Controls" - Admin Tool

[brezmans 1]

I can't get this to work on my private hive dayz server (bliss). The program starts up fine, no errors anywhere. When I connect it says me, the superadmin, has connected, so RCON is running fine. But none of the commands work.... Side-chat is enabled on the server but nothing seems to work. I set my admin level to 0 (highest, right?) and still nothing happens.

Has anyone been able to get this to work on a private hive server?

Read first section. If you are testing a server by yourself, only Global Chat channel would work.

I am well aware of that. I tested it with 10 people on the server with side chat enabled, i tested it with people in a vehicle on vehicle channel and I tested it with people near me in direct channel. Nothing.

Hey All

I have a question about scheduled messages. I have read through the thread and didn't see an answer so I'm hoping someone can help.

Is there a way to have BEC send scheduled messages through the MOTD text instead of RCON admin text?

I believe I recall seeing this on servers before but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm not even sure if this is possible but would like to know for sure.

Nuxil.

I <insert expletive> love you man.

Been using a really dodgy whitelisting system, so keen to try out your new features and report back. You really need to add more support for databases though, even SQLlite, but preferrably MySQL.

P.S:

Damnit, a whitelist text file? No, no, no. As much as I appreciate your work, a whitelist REALLY needs some kind of database to be useful. Can just add a space after the GUID to write a name or description? Can we have temporary whitelist entries like you can with the ban file?

Edited December 20, 2012 by Freeborne

[Cowboy Pilot 10]

What is the whitelist file for? Just bans?

Good update and thanks for implementing the chat spam I have bugged you about a lot on skype. :)

Can anyone else confirm the submit button isn't working on signup for a new account?

[gutiarhero814 2]

i cannot download it the popup is to big for my 1366X768 resolution um wtf?

[marker 1]

Sign up working for me now....

[XmarksTheScot 1]

I can now confirm the --dsc switch now means that this doesnt need to run on the server itself, i currently have it setup to login to a slotted rented server. so just AWESOME NESSS

Cheers mate

EDIT

It appears the scheduler wont work.. all the other option block stuff seems fine, just cant get scheduler to work.

which is weird as the same scheduler file seems to work fine on a server on teh same box, but if i run BEC and give it remote info in the IP and port and disable the PID check, it logs in fine and commands work and stuff, but it just wont run scheduler to "chat" with server.

[Sup@hKing 10]

From changelog in v1.47.1.

- Changed: switch --dsc will not disable config values if the ip is set to 127.0.0.1.

When the --dsc switch is enabled, BEC will ignore all config values except the ones in the [bec] block, unless the IP is set to 127.0.0.1, meaning the BEC is running on the server.

As far as i know this is done in case two or more BEC's are connected to the same server with different config values, witch would cause problems.

If you run BEC remotely, it will mostly have logging capabilities. The best way is to get BEC installed on your server.

I am in the same boat. Everything works fine but the Scheduler. I want to tell people when the server is about to restart..... But cant.

Always welcome new versions, but having some issues with this one, none of the bans will write over to other ban files in the hearbeat function, my paths are correct as they have been checked over and over,same paths used in previous versions and its worked ok as well, but will not work in this version

[Sport 1]

I am trying to run BEC but i dont even know how to get it started.

I've ran the .exe after i filled in all the details in the config but nothing seems to happen.

Also when i run the .exe after 3 seconds it just automaticly closes down?

Any help greatly appreciated! ^^

Okay so just found out that i needed to:

open command prompt

C:\<dir>\bec.exe -f config.cfg

So now i finally got something running but i get the following error:

Error :: BePath is not a valid directory

Any ideas?

Could you please make ban reports for BattlEye Hack # ?

Example:

14:11:48 Player nickname kicked off by BattlEye: BattlEye Hack #2

[nuxil 2]

@ MiBF yes. already did. will be in next update. a day or two until i update the new version.

@ ballou, yes indeed it has stopped working. i checked the code and found a typo ;( but its fixed and will be working correctly in next version.

Hang on a few days :)

For the other people who has problems. the issues you are having is verry basic ones. you will find all the info you need in the README file, EXAMPLE files and on Google.

some of the issues you are having are explained in this thread or on other forums like Dayz.

Sorry but i dont have time to answer every basic problem.

BTW: Happy new year to you all

[TheGurth 1]

EDIT: I was able to find something on the web to get my schedule working, so I'll delete the original post.

Kick ass tool, Nuxil! Thanks!

Edited January 2, 2013 by TheGurth

[marker 1]

OK

Slightly confused about the reserved slots!

I have two servers running, one was a 75 man and the other was a 50 man server!

So, I increased the actual player count on the servers to 81 and 56, because we have six admins within the admin.xml.

So, in reality should the player count stop at players joining as they were before at 75 & 50, or does it allow people to join up until player slots available and then kick if an admin joins?

Thanks

[nuxil 2]

well.. if the total number of players the server can hold is 75 then you do.. (75 slots - 6 admin) -> SlotLimit = 69 . only admins will be able to join on slot 70++

but note. this can lead to massive spam on the chat if its a popular server with people connecting all the time.

[marker 1]

In essence, exactly as I have done above?

Doesn't seem to work on my server, it lets the 56 man server get to 55 then stops players joining, the 81 player server gets filled up even without admins on..

Strange, will have another look tomorrow..

Cheers

[ballou 10]

Have ran with the new 1.48 had to sadly take it off

My admins listed in the Admins.xml where unable to use there commands !kpl -!btk, just refused to work, unless you have changed the admins.xml from 1.471 to 1.48

Also the bans implemented where not heartbeating over to other ban files for the short time i used it
