    Added question

    Excellent feature indeed!

    Being able to see the list of banned IPs and IDs would be nice as well, something like

    #beserver iplist / #beserver guidlist

    Also being able to remove bans in-game would be quite useful,

    #beserver unban ip / #beserver unban guid

    Edit: Do you need to have actually started a map to see the players? I tried #beserver players with two people on the server (in the lobby), and the result was

    16:48:14 BattlEye Server: Players on server:

    16:48:14 [#] [Name] [iP Address]:[Port] [GUID]

    16:48:14 ----------------------------------------

    Solution: Don't order a Linux server for ArmA, or do not complain that you are behind with Patches. Or run under Wine?
    I've been running a linux (root) server for OFP and ArmA since 2002, and most all of the server/map management scripting that's running on the server, is partly web based, partly scripted and quite dependent on the underlying OS. A lot of time and effort has gone into developing and fine tuning them, and it would be a significant effort to get everything running under Windows. I have a lot more in-depth knowledge on linux than I would ever hope to gain on windows. So that alone would stop me from switching over to windows, and then I won't even touch on pulling back the server from the colocation, installing windows and everything else needed and bringing it back to the colocation. So it's not simply ordering a windows server and that's that ;). Wine doesn't run the ArmA server unfortunately; it would be the ideal solution for me if it did.
    I guess this is a bit 'harsh', and probably because i've always ran Windows Servers for Games, I see it this way.
    It's a matter of taste really. I've always run linux servers for games, it's what I'm used to. The major issue for me is the fact that we have been waiting for the linux server since last December, when v1.15b was released, with no clue when the linux server will be released. We've installed vmware + windows on our linux server to run the windows ArmA server, which is doable, but it does mean a major performance hit. And all of the aforementioned scripting doesn't work anyway, so we have to manually transfer map updates, stop/start the server etc.

    And preparing linux server itself is really a significant many-months effort.
    Thank you for this insight.

    As one of the people anxiously awaiting the linux server, I can at least now understand why - from a business point of view - you choose not to release a linux server with every beta patch brought out.

    This is the version I've made that will show the grid ref for the ACE islands I'm using. Works fine for Nogova, Everon and Trinity. You should be able to include the other islands fairly easily, if need be:

    private ["_x","_y","_cfg","_offsetX","_offsetY","_stepX","_stepY","_el","_smallZoom","_fourdigit", "_return"];
_x = (_this select 0 select 0);
_y = (_this select 0 select 1);

_cfg = configFile>>"CfgWorlds">>worldName>>"Grid";

_offsetX=getNumber(_cfg>>"offsetX");

_smallZoom = "Zoom1";
comment "Zoom1/Zoom2 is default used by BIS/ArmA/Sara - _smallZoom can be Zoom0/Zoom1/Zoom2";
if (isClass (_cfg>>"Zoom0")) then 
{
 _smallZoom = "Zoom0"
};
comment "if Zoom0 exists, assume it uses Zoom0/Zoom1";

_stepX = getNumber(_cfg>> _smallZoom >>"stepX");
_stepY = getNumber(_cfg>> _smallZoom >>"stepY");

_offsetY = 0;
_fourdigit = true;
switch toLower(worldName) do
{
case 'sara': { _offsetY=-480*-1; comment "uses Zoom1 & Zoom2";};
case 'saralite': { _offsetY=-480*5+120; comment "uses Zoom1 & Zoom2"; };

    Hi Sommerville,

    for a vehicle to be noticed on the radar, the engine has to be switched on. With your current script this will not happen:

    <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">.

    .

    _spawndrive = "SquadLeaderE" createUnit [position _target, _grp1,"spawndrive = this",1,"PRIVATE"]

    spawndrive moveInDriver _target

    _target setSide OPFOR

    _driver disableAI "MOVE"

    .

    .

    You have mixed _spawndrive and spawndrive (without underscore). So the unit is never moved into the vehicle. Als the variable _driver is not defined anywhere, and thus the disableAI command will not work.

    I can't check right now, but creating the vehicle and then switching on the engine with<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_spawndrive action ["engineOn", _target]might work. Otherwise creating the vehicle and assigning the AI unit as commander would be an option, as the commander will not drive away and the turret will activate the engine.

    "C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FlashpointResistance.exe -mod=llaumax"

    Any reason why this isnt working?

    The quotes are placed incorrectly. This should work:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FlashpointResistance.exe" -mod=llaumax

    After "upgrading" a dedicated server that me and my friends are running to version 1.11, we also have the same problem that some have here in which no-one can connect to the server! mad_o.gif

    When someone connects to the server he always get the messenge "Connection Failed".

    When reverting to version 1.09, everything goes ok and everyone can connect.

    I managed to connect to some servers running version 1.11 but not to our server.

    So I also ask here if there are any solutions to this problem?

    Thanks in advance for replies...

    The only solution for now seems to be to connect to the server directly with a specific shortcut like this:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\beta\arma.exe" -nosplash -noland -world=empty -connect=<IP address> -port=2302 -password=<password> -mod=beta

    so TD what should i do?

    I've been able to connect to a v1.11 server that was unapproachable by creating a shortcut that will open a connection straight away, e.g.<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\beta\arma.exe" -nosplash -noland -world=empty -connect=<IP address> -port=2302 -mod=betaYou could try and see if that works for you.
