Arma Lib does not work on linux servers and it is detected by BattlEye. Regards Crowe EDIT: As i see some kind of similar feature request has already been made: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=431488&postcount=104

Dear BI developers, i don't know if it has been mentioned before. How about implementing a scripting command that downloads strings from a URL? This would give mappers the possibility to: provide mission files with automatic updated scripts the mission to interact with a database Example: PRIVATE ["_script"]; _script = loadurl "http://somehost.tld/website/latest-script.sqf"; [] spawn compile _script; Example for Interacting with a database: WESTSCORE = 320; EASTSCORE = 210; PRIVATE ["_result"]; _result = loadurl format ["http://arma2-liga.de/SubmitScore.php?west=%1&east=%2",WESTSCORE,EASTSCORE]; //SubmitScore.php will save the arguments //passed via HTTP GET into a database. Thanks in advance! Regards Crowe

Dear Bohemia Interactive Studios, i have a problem running the dedicated server. It crashes on specific maps (for example Berserk maps). For Security purposes, I am running the Arma-Server Process as a user that does have full-access to the arma folder (E:\gameserver\airborne_division_server). The process can not access other folders. Can you please tell me where the arma_server executable wants to read.

Hi all! i am trying to build a sliding door for a bunker.

Hi all, I would like to present to you my first addon. It allows you the possibility to set up no-fire areas. Within these areas all projectiles and missiles will be destroyed and will not cause any damage to their target. I developed this addon for the Arma Liga. It will be part of the official Arma Liga Mod in the next half-season. It will protect the referee and the respawn areas. Thanks to Mondkalb of armed tactics for the help. How does it work? The addons contains cubes in several sizes. These cubes have been made by using oxygen and conatain only a fire geometry. The fire Geometry defines the surface which bullets cannot get past. Unlike a scripted solution this addon helps you to save much performance in your mission. The addon contains also some visible cubes. This is useful to check if the protector is placed properly. The addon contains the following cubes: class name invilsible| class name visible | edge length (metres) fg1x1x1         | fg1x1x1color     | 1 fg2x2x2         | fg2x2x2color     | 2 fg4x4x4         | fg4x4x4color     | 4 fg8x8x8         | fg8x8x8color     | 8 fg16x16x16      | fg16x16x16color  | 16 fg20x20x20      | fg20x20x20color  | 20 fg30x30x30      | fg30x30x30color  | 30 fg40x40x40      | fg40x40x40color  | 40 fg50x50x50      | fg50x50x50color  | 50 The addon contains the following cuboids: class name invilsible | class name visible   | width height lenght fg1x015x1        | fg1x015x1color     | 1 1 0.15 fg2x015x2        | fg2x015x2color     | 2 2 0.15 fg4x015x4        | fg4x015x4color     | 4 4 0.15 fg8x015x8        | fg8x015x8color     | 8 8 0.15 fg16x015x16      | fg16x015x16color   | 16 16 0.15 fg20x015x20      | fg20x015x20color   | 20 20 0.15 fg30x015x30      | fg30x015x30color   | 30 30 0.15 fg40x015x40      | fg40x015x40color   | 40 40 0.15 fg50x015x50      | fg50x015x50color   | 50 50 0.15 The origin of the coordinates is in the middle buttom surface of the cube or cuboids. You can use scripts to place them automatically. Use it at your own risk. Download: Download Mirror webserver-login.de (Germany) Download Mirror Armaholic.com Download Mirror eprison.de Feel free to post mirrors and feedback. Yours Crowe

This addon causes many Warnings in the armed assault logfile (arma.rpt) Pls fix all the warnings to make the addon useable. Many thanks in advance. Crowe

Can you create a version for the linux server too? Would be very appreciated! Yours Crowe

Do not use PublicVariable often. Instead of broadcasting a variable each time a player does connect, you can also create an obect and use setvehicleinit instead. Keep all other variables local if the other clients do not need them. Stop cheaters - use signature verification and BattlEye. Yours Crowe

This would not be save because every cheat has an other file-name Yours Crowe

this post was submitted twice. Pls delete this post

Hope you like this: Download Its german Language, but using the Arma Stringtable. Press 0-0-1 to show Server loaded Addons and 0-0-2 for Difficulty settings. I build it for the Arma Liga. Yours Crowe

Would be a nice feature for ArmA 2, wouldn't it? Yours Crowe

"E:\Program Files\ArmA\arma.exe" -mod=beta -mod=@AL -window -nosplash -profiles=profiles -cfg=arma.cfg Works fine Yours Crowe

I configured Xfire cult that everyone can invite other arma players: Invite Members (You need to Login for that) If you want to use it, you can post news or events aswell. But don't complain if noone reads it xD Pls tell me if you are a Clan Leader or have special Knowledge about arma (Modding / Mapping). I will make it appear in the Member List instead of "Arma Fan". Have Fun Crowe

I had problems with battlEye 15 minutes ago. (Kicked because direct input hook #1) http://screenshot.xfire.com/screens....MG] I closed X-Fire and restarted arma after that it worked. Can you fix that? Yours Crowe

I played Soldat yesterday, an 2D-Shooter. (BattlEye enabled) How come you are getting kicked/BANNED for running Xfire? Are there in Armed Assault programs that are dectected? Crowe

Ok. The Arma Liga will introduce BattlEye for the next season. As Part of the Liga-Team I hope it will work. How fast does it detect any cheats? Will clients be removed immeadiatly or is there a delay? How can we help participants with dammaged RAM? Yours Crowe

Would it be useful to add the BattlEye files to the checkfiles in server config? checkfiles[]={"BattlEye\BEClient.dll"}; Yours Crowe

Does BattleEye detect cheats that are hidden in a PBO file? Yours Crowe

http://www.bundysoft.com/L3DT/ its great!

Nice. Please hide sourcecode from Public, cheaters may find it usefull too.

Will you protect the server from cheats? I hate playing with cheaters!
