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

[thec1aw 1]

Yes it break future update because steam will not find the folder. if you are want to make a server on your dedicated server (root server) then use steamcmd because with steamcmd you can choose which name the folder will have

c1aw, I know that I got the same error, so I dropped Bans.txt into my BattlEye folder (Arma3\BattlEye). Didn't show up there after. I'm assuming you already have that done but still having issues with it being visible. In the event that you haven't, just though I mention it since it got rid of the error for me.

Cheers it works :D I have unable to get info from the arma process (don't use the reporter account but my give it a try) but I think I need to look back a few pages/posts for solution.

Good work!

Your bepath in your .bat script is commented out, remove the :: and check the path.

Hello, I am unable to connect to my server Bec. I put in the example the IP of the server, and I even try with 127.0.0.1 but nothing works. Do you have any idea where it can come from?

[watarimono 0]

I'm getting the same error msg as #369

Running stable 0.74 server on port 2327 and BEC 1.54

Config: http://pastebin.com/VTYQYdZU

Error: http://pastebin.com/MwMHx2fz

If the A3 server is not running I get "wating for server..." but as soon as the server is started the error msg comes instead.

Any ideas what to look for?

Go to battleye.com and DL the most recent client & server file.

Go to battleye.com and DL the most recent client & server file.

Tried that but no difference :(

I've been able to acess the server via rcon the whole time but BEC doesn't wanna play :(

anyone have a working example of a batch file to start the arma 3 server and BEC? I tried this with no luck

@ Pepole with errors regarding encoding issues, compare hash; MD5 or SHA1 to check that your downloads arent corrupted.

@ Issues regarding bans.txt not found, make sure the filename is correct.

(BEC is handling bans.txt as case sensitive, Bans/BANS etc will not work, will make a fix for this in a later update).

If this is not the case, backup all your ban files, delete the originals.

Next open up BERCON and type "addban 127.0.0.1 0 test" and see where the file is created.

Then verify that your BEC config is using the correct path.

Also get Version 1.55

Changelog

*** V 1.55 ***

- Changed: psutil from 0.3.0 to Version 1.0.1.

- Fixed: exception handling for new psutil.

- Fixed: uptime command.

- Added: BE Bans can be listed in plugins by using: instance._Bec_BeBans. You need to request the list with the command 'bans' first

- Added: Rcon Admins can be listed in plugins by using: instance._Bec_RconAdmins. You need to request the list with the command 'admins' first.

- Fixed: Ts3 plugin had a minor error. replace your "__init__.py".

Was running v1.54 without issues

Updated to v1.55 as in i just copied bec.exe and its telling me could not check for a update, is this a problem at your end?

Btw nice update, would it be possible to add the consolecolour again? It was good to ascertain what server to go to

I have 5 becs running but have noticed a problem since the latest round of updates, if i have a server empty bec stops working in the console window, querybot stops responding, usually a quick reboot sorts it out, its not happened before

[Sup@hKing 10]

When updating always copy the Bec.exe and Bec.lib files.

[cortez471 6]

How did you guys get Bec to connect to an Arma 3 server with a password on the rcon? Every time i have tried to load it up i get the "invalid password" error which is fair enough because there is not password section in the config file. So my question is how do we set the password in the config so bec can connect to the rcon?

[Sup@hKing 10]

BEC is a server application not a Rcon.

From http://ibattle.org/;

Bec is a admin tool for ArmA2/OA/CO and Arma3 dedicated servers for Windows that has enabled Battleye.

This is a server application only, no install requirements are necessary client-wise.

Basically what Bec does, is giving you the Battleye-power conveniently on the ArmA2/OA/CO and Arma 3-chatline in-game.

All you need to make it connect is in the [bec] block of the Config.cfg

That is not 100% true saying as its looking for a password which i set in the BEServer.cfg

It uses battle in the same way an Rcon would use battle eye for sending messages and such. And because it connects to BattlEye it needs the password i set.

[Sup@hKing 10]

I suggest you try to log on with BERcon and se if u can connect, then try and get BEC started up from cmd and look for errors.

The install and configure guide have a how-to for it.

Would you not think that is the first thing i have tried? i can connect just with the EPM Rcon tool which would suggest to me that the rcon side of things is just fine, Correct information regarding the ip,port and the password.

Regarding the start BEC via cmd and look for errors, am sure in my first post i made it clear that my issue is with an INVALID password, with out an option to set a password it is no surprise that it's going to throw an error.

I'm stuck with the exact same problem now, earlier I had another error msg but that got replaced by "wrong password". I have rcon setup with pw for monitoring our servers remotely, not sure if it that's the problem or not.

[Sup@hKing 10]

@cortez471

@Watarimono

Only thing I can think is that this is not BEC related, it could be something with your startup parameters.

Check out post #55 trough #58 and see if you get any closer to a solution.

If error persist, post here or email us (support@ibattle.org) your parameters and configs so we can try to reproduce it for future reference.

[ltiisidii 10]

I have this error :(:(

i.imgur.com/nsHopyp.png

I also install the Microsoft Visual C + + 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and Microsoft Visual C + + 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) sp1 and no fix.

[Sup@hKing 10]

@ ltiisidii

Try to manually update your BE client & server files from Battleye.com

Also try to compare hash; MD5 or SHA1 to check that your BEC download arent corrupted.

Maby also try to get Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 x86 Redistributable Package. Though 2010 should be backwards compatible.
