As it says No bugs that I know of. If by chance as commander not being able to build after respawning. Go back to the soldier selection selection screen and rejoin. It will then work. ACE-ICED-Warfare-01.Sara

Based on Rommel's version with a few changes Airlift for bothsides Faster Fast Travel Resistance AI upgrades: Smarter, more weapons and armour $2500 starting money, $800 starting suppply money for commander Revised Spawn Locations Aircraft Factories can build Jets there are no AI supply trucks. So Remember to build up the supply values of your towns. Enjoy: Download here: Warfare_32-V112-ICED-V14.Sara

As us server admins know there are good mods and bad mods. Bad mods and or Addons can cause latency, Server crashes or give Griefers the ability to hack a game and ruin the enjoyment for everyone else playing. = No fun and frustration for all. Objective of this thread. Create a list of Problem mods or Addons that should be blocked from dedicated servers. So, if you as a server admin know of any please post them here with their CfgPatches classname if you know it so it can easily be added to the dooacsDisabledPatches script. (see here). In the post should be the types(s) of problems each mod/addon causes. Whether it be: Hack Lag Server Crash Cheat I will then edit this post and update the list accordingly. Feel free to discuss the validity of each one in this thread. Below is a List from the SA-Gaming Site the I am using. Feel free to add comments on each one. Thanks goes to Doolittle and Aussie Dave for their work so far. Blocked Mods: XAM all of them SLX Mod ECS Mod Compact Fix for ArmA Fight For Nogova (FFN) Mod Morsa's Any Gear by 5133p39 PROPER World mod PROPER World Xtra Mods GDT ModHelicopter GDT Mod TOW GDT Mod Hellfire GDT Mod Satchel Ice's dooacsDisabledPatches:

A mod that made AI walk on the side of the road would be better.

It worked fine. Hard to get a crowd these days though :-( Warfare_32-V112-ICED-V14.Sara

Lookng for clients to join my server "Ice's BIG Server" today / tonight. Testing version 14

Yesterday I was playing Arma on my Server (169th Panthers High Performance Server 100MB) and bought a Harrier which to my amazement had 600 GBU's and 600 TOW missiles. What sort of hack or Mod could do this? I am blocking this list of mods: Blocked Mods: XAM all of them SLX Mod ECS Mod Compact Fix for ArmA Fight For Nogova (FFN) Mod Morsa's Any Gear by 5133p39 PROPER World mod PROPER World Xtra Mods GDT ModHelicopter GDT Mod TOW GDT Mod Hellfire GDT Mod Satchel As seen in this thread using Doolittles DAACS

It will be a cheaters Hack, not a innocent mod. Especially not a sound mod lol.. to stop the hackers get DOOAcs.. its very good. thats if you like to use mods on your server that is without the hassle of server signatures Read my post.. I am Usings Doolittles anti cheat system.

So, no one knows what mod or hack caused this ?

From what I can gather this seems to be a common issue for nVidia 7800 and 8800 users. Symptom: Playing Arma and it freezes for approximately 5 seconds, theres a Flicker then there's gawry corruptions of graphics. The only way out is to ALT F4. As you do this a magnified image of some graphic out of the game, be it a tree or a tank track or a face image. allways different. If you try to start the game again without a reboot, its extremely slow to load and the title screen text will corrupt and animate with Cyrilics. The only solution is to reboot and start again. For me, i can play one full version of Arma without a crash. If, however i start or join another session u can be sure i will get the dreaded lock-up again. Is this issue recognised by BI, is there a solution? for 1.14?

169th are interested. You can post details in our forums if you like: http://169thpanthers.com.au

Version 13 now available for download in the initial post. No bugs

Is there a way to havew the dedicated server activity to write and save to a log on the fly? sometimes "Arma Stops repsonding" and the server window goes blank. Id like to keep the log to see what mods are being used when players join.

What about the ability to save the chatlog ?

Ok, well sorry about that Aussie i thought you and Aussie Dave were the same. If you look here, you might see why. http://www.gamingsa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5802

they do dave. Hence the creditation in the initial post :-)

Good stuff. thanks !

I just upgraded from 8800GTX to AMP edition 280 with 1 GIG RAM. Still same problem. Random freezes / Hard Reboot. this is as close as ive gotten to finding the cause http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293078

I couldnt find a thread that listed blocked mods and or addons. so I made one here

Thank guys for your help. Server has had no crashes and good crowds since getting DooAcs to run properly.

Thanks for your help. Makes sense now. Quite a job to have to download all the mods you want to block and extract the config.cpp file. Also maybe a rewrite of the instructions that come with DooACs so others dont miss the instructions from January. Now to get this straight, please bare with me. Example: Ive extracted the pbo's from Compact Fix for Arma and each pbo has a name there are lots in this instance.. ZGB_Collisions, ZGB_DeathCam, ZGB_Flares, ZGB_Flares_Settings, ZGB_Grid, ZGB_Grid_QG, ZGB_Horn, ZGB_Horn_QG, Â ZGB_Radar_GPS, CALanguage, ZGB_Magazines, ZGB_MES, ZGB_Pontoons, ZGB_RACS_Faces, ZGB_Seatbelts, ZGB_SLA_Faces, ZGB_Vehicles, ZGB_VLD, ZGB_VNV, ZGB_WarfareSoundFix, ZGB_Weapons So, i am assuming for each one there is an entry. so it should look like..

thanks, whats with the Atari? do i create a new directory here? or do i just place in my Arma directory which would be E:\Program files/Arma  ? Ive followed the instructions using the extended Eventhandlers. and moving the files into what I belive is the correct folders. (Addons and Arma root directory) Using the config above, i should not be able to join using the HIFIFX mod, but i still am able to join. i get a "DOOACS PASS" If someone could quote their working dooacsconfig.sqf file with all the unwanted mods/hacks, id appreciate it.

I'm doing something wrong :-( My procedure: Download Dooacs6.zip Download DOO.bikey Create an @DooACS folder in server ARMA Directory, insert dooacs.pbo nd dooacs.pbo.doo.bisign. add to keys folder "DOO.bikey" Insert into arma root directory dooacsconfig.sqf Add to server Exe target line: "E:\Vista Program Files\ArmA\arma_server.exe" -config=server.cfg  -profiles=E:\aaserver\Profile -mod=@DooAcs Edit dooacsconfig.sqf like the following and test if it will kick me whilst using the HIFIFX mod. so please Someone help me work this out. TIA
