server is crashing when we have 30 people on or more. yet 50% cpu is idle with plenty of resources memory etc. i assume it can only be the config files. those of u who run 30+ servers that remain full 24/7 can u please share your server.cfgs and arma.cfg profiles thanks!

Doesnt loop the text!

is there one, ArmA is in desperate need of a tool where i can quickly alt tab out of game to ban people.

anyone got a link with the latest .exe server file. along with server.cfg etc and a write up on how to set it up thx. as many varibles as possible also to stop cheaters thx.

we've just set up a server [EVO] Clan - www.evoclan.net IP:193.200.158.201:4000 any ideas or suggestions on improving it let us know, we are also recruiting and looking for dedicated admins to deal with idiots (membership required for admin).

Seeing as [EVO] www.evoclan.net currently host the number 1 ArmA Server. I feel with the repuation the server has we could contribute more to the community. I could host another lag free none EVOLUTION server just tell me if you think its a good idea along with a link suggestion to the maps. Id apprieciate some regular donations as servers cost money and we could maybe agree on admin in return for donations or something. Let me know what you think. id propose co-op only (minimum 30 players) server with varied maps.

I have 2 common problems with my server at the moment which are... 1) TeamKillers, people are able to mount the UH (Choppar) without getting any TK Penalty and constantly TK people that respawn in the hanger. 2) this is a quote from a regular vistor to my server "- During my time, the server has been hacked like twice, apparently there's a way in which someone can modify the server dramatically, eg. changing day to pitch-black night and adding mad weapons for everyone, etc. That sucks, but luckily its only happened twice, and if there's some vurnebility in ArmA, I'm not sure what could be done about this. Usually it ends up in the hacker crashing the server, so probably even if you had an admin on and you banned the guy, he could still crash it. Ban them anyways, though, what do you have to loose if they're going to screw your server up anyways, and it's more fun that way. " By The Way, is it possible to ban by UNIQUE user ID, CD Key or only IP? If its possible to enforce all these measures please share.

dolittle i heard its possible to use your mod to write timed messages? is it possible? Im looking for a script or what ever is required so i can send messages every 60 second for the whole duration of the map, can you help me with this task please? Thanks in advance!

yes i want pre-defined messages, i dont care how they are sent so long as the people on the server see them. How can i do this?

yeah thats pretty stupid. Any suggestions on a script for messages ever 30/60 seconds ?

Brit what are your current Settings?

1) im having serious dysnc errors everytime somebody connects to the server. The server is only Running Arma its a Quad Core 6700, 4GB Ram in a UK Datacenter on a 100Mbit line. Load isn't the issue, its server bandwidth varibles i presume. So what can i edit to optimize the play of Evolution Missions red and blue.

Hi im mainly after a script or a remote admin tool that will let me send random messages at a set interval. Is this possible in ArmA? and is there any remote admin tool out there!

Please dont make this an optional component. 1.09 MUST Force All cients and Servers to run this anti-cheat, otherwise i fear in order to keep server popularity some server admins will choose not to run this!
