Well. to get only 1 logfile i guess you need to create some sort of script. that checks the date on the file, and run this script before or after the server is shutdown. because, the logfile is empty at startup. and it only creates content in the file after you do a #shutdown. (atleast with me) which i find verry strange. why does the server not append text to the logfile as stuff are outputed to the console. if you have a server running for a verry long time with many players and sessions means the server mem usage will be rather high. it will grow and grow until the server is #shutdown. it then it writes all the stuff to the logfile. "stupid method" if you ask me. i also see other issue. such as. if you restart your server lots of times. you will get lots of files with pids in them. what will happen when you have so many file that when your server starts up and it gets the same pid as one of the exsiting files!. will it append to it or overwrite it? using date as the rpt file would be much smarter if you ask me. never the less. i dont know if its possible to do what you want by using bat or cmd script. but using other languages such as python will solve your problem. this is something i cooked up in 10 min. i dont know if you like to use it. altho it should be written a bit better. more error handeling etc. but thats left to DIY :p import os, sys, time, codecs # ################################# # Settings # ################################# # Define the path to the logfiles.

the number you see created in your logfile is the pid the server had/has when it started.

its probeally shutdown by now. there is also this. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?175463-End-of-Gamespy so i belive there is no more point in having BE support for thouse games. but idk. its only a guess. only official sources can comfirme this.

No it dosent. You need to use maxping not !PING Also keep in mind that if your server is running some dayz|life or whatever mission and you do change the system time on the server. it might screw up the scheduler timer.

maybe you should read this 1st. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147537-Tutorial-How-to-run-ArmA3-on-a-dedicated-server

did you read this? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.armaprofile

Hi. There is no way to secure your mission. unless bis releases the tool to encrypt the pbo files which i doubt that they will do. So. you have 2 options to secure your mission. 1* Obfuscate the scripts 2* create a dll file which contains your script data. and encrypt it. decrypt it on read. ofc you need to make some sqf logic for this too tho. altho nr 2 is a bit harder than 1 to do. + none of them will secure your scripts 100%. you will not be able to secure your other data. ie. description.ext. *.hpp files , *.paa files. etc. only sqf to some degree.

BE global message. IMPORTANT: Server admins should ignore all "GameHack #76" kicks happening around 20:30 GMT on February 23. They were caused by an issue in the BE system and do not indicate hacking.

To OP. When using 3rd party tools (TADST,etc) to configure your server. make sure all the BE stuff is correct. BEServer.cfg exists with rconpassword in it. gameserver is using correct BEpath. so on. This is a classic example of something is wrong on the server and not with bec or anyother rcons. Alyways verify with a 2nd Rcon that you can not connect to your server. To 2nd Poster jumbobreakfast. If your running a newer version (1.59+). you can remove this. ( LogDir = a3server2 ) ,since it does nothing anymore. Instead the name if the logdir will be the same as your config. ie. bec.exe -f a3server2.cfg <- will create dir named a3server2 ServerExeName = arma3server.exe Is not needed if you have not renamed the orginale file, in this case you havent so its of no use.

flying backwards is not only a issue for A3. its always been like that. atleast since A1.

hah. forget it.. this is the gay mans game. lovely rainbows. fancy pink clouds. men running around on the beach in the underwear. just need some hip dancing animation and a bar building & some cocktails :p But seriously. female has a high number of votes. " http://feedback.arma3.com/plugin.php?page=Vote/list_bugs " but at the same time. lots of people dont want females ingame. just makes me wounder. should i joke about the above or not.. i do to want females ingame. i can even remember prealpha, a screenshot of a swimming bikini girl. damn you bis, where is she. makes me wounder. dont bis likes girls. :p

if you conduct enough electricty through a wire "anything thats conducts electricity/unless its a supercondutor". it will start to heat up and if you continue to apply more & more electricity to it, in the end it will start to melt. this due to resistance in the metal. want to learn more about it ,read about Joule heating. So yes its possible to destroy a tank with lightning. it just needs to be insanly high amount of Energy(Watts) involved here. now ofcource you could say. No man made or "Earth" made lightning has en energy to do this is another thing. i bet Zeus could do that.. hes a god after all. and dont use Youtube videos as proof. thats just BS if you know some physics ;)

This project will be discontinued. I have requested that this thread will be closed for the time being.. Maybe at somepoint i'll pick it up again. But for now i have some other things i like to spend my time on. New people who wants to use it will still be able to download it and use the doc's on ibattle.org for some time. Regards. Nuxil

Nothing to worrie about. just ignore this.

If you read the eula, it states nowhere in it, that hacking BE will result in a globalban. or abuse of BE's Service will result in a globalban. it merly sais this 1 - Licensee may not decompile, disassemble, reverse-engineer, modify or redistribute BattlEye in any way. 2 - Licensor is allowed to terminate the license at any time for any reason and without notice to Licensee. Altho you can consider nr2 as the globalban. however when that's said. im not agains global bans for games. i just think cross game global ban is a bad thing. espesially when there is no info about it on steam. i see no info on Dayz that it uses BE as its anticheat. i see no info on steam that a global ban in a previouse games that uses BE will automaticly give you a global ban in Dayz or virce verca. Now im also 99% sure that Dayz servers are required to use battleye. and there is no Singleplayer in Dayz? ("i do not have Dayz so i dont know") so if thats the case it means you cant use the game. therfor banned from the game. for arma3 its up to the server owners to deside if they want to use BE or not. but afik. BE is required on Dayz servers. correct me if am wrong.

Its all nice that global bans work across games. since nothing is more annoying than a cheater/hacker ruining the mission on your server. However when that said.. im woundering if this is legale to do?. after all they are two different products. This is actually preventing someone from playing in multiplayer in game X because they did things in game Y. (90% A3 & 100% Dayz, of servers use battleye) No one likes cheaters/hackers, but i think this is a but unfair as they have no knowlege about this when they buy the game(s).

Picture works best so take a look at this http://opendayz.net/threads/how-to-using-firedaemon-w-dayz-extras.7441/ i just do stp1 & stp2 for bec on our server. and in the setting tab i have. restart program upon exit. there is realy not much more to it. bec should not duplicate itself when starting up. sound like you have some weird things happening on the server. are you using version 1.595 ? @m0dg0d, i dont do linux so i cant help you much. check out wine. and read this http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16421

Well. only solution i can give you is to use firedaemon, Or you could use some bat script to do the task. i have seen many of them around on the net "on dayz forums etc". Other than that i cant help you very much since your problem seems to be realted to A3ST. You could try to contact the A3ST dev and report the bug so he can fix the problem. if he is still in active.

Hmm, thats odd. Bec should auto quit when the server shutsdown. is it possible to put a delay on the server startup in A3ST (A3ST-ArmA-3-Server-Tools) ? i myself am using firedeamon to start/stop our server and have no experiance with A3ST so i cant be much help with that.

No. sorry you cant do that anymore. red is system and error messages.

if you want to restart the server there is no need to use #restart. as i said #restart will only restart current mission, not the server.

i dont see any #shutdown in your file. #restart will only restart current mission, not the server. you have to use #shutdown to restart the server or use a external bat script.

without looking at your file its hard to tell what the issue is like. double check job ids. example: post your file if you still have issues..

and dont forget the MANW contest, some might hold back their content because of it, (speculation)
