Hey All I have a question about scheduled messages. I have read through the thread and didn't see an answer so I'm hoping someone can help. Is there a way to have BEC send scheduled messages through the MOTD text instead of RCON admin text? I believe I recall seeing this on servers before but I'm not 100% sure. I'm not even sure if this is possible but would like to know for sure.

I’ll start by saying I consider myself part of the DayZ community but I have absolute respect for the Arma Community. I know the two communities may not see eye to eye but I am sincerely grateful that DayZ has introduced me to Arma. I had hardly heard of Arma prior to the release of DayZ but now I’ve had a chance to play both DayZ and Arma. I realize what I have missed with Arma. IceBreakr, I can understand the sense of frustration and anger you may have with ViLayer over this situation. I can’t help but think it is, in part, related to a lot of distorted and exaggerated information being passed around. I’m sure you put a lot of time and effort into creating both Panthera and Lingor. The end result was 2 amazing maps that thousands of DayZ and Arma players have had endless amounts of fun playing. I’m sure you must feel a sense of pride in the fact that so many people appreciate and respect your work. At the end of the day, did you create the maps for yourself to enjoy? Or did you create the maps for others to enjoy? Does an artist create art to keep it in a closet? Of course not. They create it for others to enjoy. I personally have 2 servers that run Panthera and 1 that runs Lingor. I can tell you first hand that people LOVE your work. I’ve seen hundreds of people express how much they enjoy your maps. They spend hours every day learning the maps and being in shock over how beautiful they are. You said yourself you’re glad Panthera is receiving some feedback after a long time Believe me when I say ViLayer is not doing this to steal your work or get rich off it. I honestly believe Lee has the best of intentions. He wants to bring the DayZ community the best experience and the best maps. Panthera and Lingor were picked because they’re great maps. Those great maps have now been exposed to thousands of people who truly appreciate the work you have put into it. ViLayer only did what they had to do to ensure a secure and consistent experience over all servers that are running the map. This means all the people that play your maps get to experience it under the best possible conditions. In the end, in my opinion, this is the best possible way for the community to experience your work. They get to play on a unified, secured network running on top of the line hardware to ensure a great experience. When it comes down to it, it’s your choice to give him the blessing to use the maps. However, before jumping to conclusions and listening to the misinformation others are trying to spread, think about the thousands of people that have played your map the last few days and the hundreds that are playing as I write this. Those people are enjoying and appreciating all the work you put into it. Don’t take that away from them. Take a few minutes and talk it over with ViLayer. Let them explain what they’re trying to do for the community. Bashing forum posts on both sides won’t get anybody anywhere. Lee is not unreasonable and in reality this is something that should be hashed out in private, between the parties involved.
