logging network traffic is no longer viable (1.62) as the script kiddie code isn't sent in clear text anymore. from first glance it appears compressed somehow... i asked about this in another thread

i find the global battleye message broadcast to all clients boasting how great global bans are and how many "cheaters" have been caught very amusing.

now that we can all run the alpha version, please give us a linux 95777 build, that one seems lucky. Thanks BIS!

wait what? the crash dumps don't automatically upload themselves to BIS specially trained linux dev team via skype?

any insights wrt the new net protocol? on my nix 1.60 server i used to be able to tcpdump game traffic and ngrep through it to effectively ban script kiddies. can i post-process this tcpdump somehow? (i.e. unRap) when i get report of 'someone spawned everyone as50s' i can no longer "do what i do" please advise.

Hi Preed. The Life Mission servers have always been targets of multi source packet flood attack as you say DDOS exploit (lol) Here is what I did: Make your server appear down to Novatech0, no matter where he is trying to "see your server" from. He'll think he has won and the attack will cease. Also order him a pizza? *nod to da. / AAA* :rolleyes: For obvious reasons I will not disclose any technical details here. Catch me creeping on these TS3 servers for now 72.20.13.74, ts3.arma2life.com:9988 or ts3.lifeprojectrpg.com if you'd like more infos.

after a couple days of this i've had to shutdown -r now the box once already - not looking good is there a memalloc dll i am supposed to use when running 1.62 over wine?

as far as i can tell, everything i just did as posted previously has a smaller footprint than what that script tries to do (and it works) I did however download that script before even attempting running arma2oaserver.exe on WINE as a reference, so all glory and honor go to the author of said script.

It's working as well as can be expected. Here is what I did (abridged) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa sudo apt-get install wine1.5 xvfb x11vnc winetricks xact winecfg copy my linux 1.60 arma2oa into the ~/.wine/drive_c/arma2oa folder patch a windows box to 1.62 upload 7zs of the changed Expansion addons, dta and common addons and deflate them on the server, it was ~350MB upload IIRC upload the exe and dlls in place from the windows box as well sudo -u imago xvfb-run wine arma2oaserver.exe -world=Zargabad -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=0 -maxMem=2047 -port=2302 -ip=72.20.13.73 -config=zl.cfg -cfg=basic.cfg -name=server -BEPath=C:\\arma2oa\\zl -pid=C:\\arma2oa\\zl\\zl.pid -profiles=. x11vnc -rfbport 6001 -display :99 at this point i was able to vnc to the box on port 6001 and interact with the the arma2oaserver.exe main window and console output Thanks again BIS! I look forward to switching back to native binary whenever you get it squared away!

Thanks BIS. We look forward to the Linux patch!

Ok, so I did that. The O/S is now tasking 7 more processes, consuming about 500MB more ram and has about ~ 2GB less disk space than before. http://i.imgur.com/C9KQt.png At least my server is full again.

our donation driven linux server is dead, everyone was prompted to update to 1.62 and now have a red X. community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Dedicated_Server#Linux_4 forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?137694-ARMA-2-Operation-Arrowhead-Combined-Operations-Reinforcements-update-1-62/page9 please advise
