Hey guys I have a question. On our server I loose connection alot. I started watching my packet loss and I noticed that every time I get kicked im loosing packets. However I'm on loosing about 1% to maybe 5% of my incoming packets. Is there a setting that would make the server not to dam sensitive to that little bit of packet loss?

yea I saw that but if I added a ban.txt file will it read it?

Will the alpha server read a ban list? if so how do I add one to it?

Hey guys just switched our box and just copied all of the server dir. and and replaced them just like before and now Im getting a BEC error. Hoping some one can help with this. c:\servertools\bec\Bec.exe this application has failed to start because the side by side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail Any ideas

ok thats cool. Will this work on any arma server and were would I put these files in? Also is there a way I can do a live stream of log files?

I have some of that running but how do U set up a script to stop stuff if u dont know what all to add to it? Is there a list?

We use RCON to do everything. How do you catch the one using the new untraceable hacks?

Hello everyone, I'm new at using the BEC and i'm also new to being a admin for Arma. I have Admined for years on other game and the one thing I don't understand is that I haven't seen 3rd party development of anti cheat measures here like in other games. Am I missing something, Also I find very difficult to figure out what all BEC can do other then what I have read at the BEC site. I reg. my account and was wondering is there anything to having the account. When I try to log in nothing happens. This past week our server has been over run by scripters so bad that they were able to kick the server admin from the server. Anyone know how to stop that?

Ok Iceman77, I'm a veteran at being a server admin. However this is the first game I have seen were there was very little Admin help. Most games have a community developing anti cheats from server owners/Admin , and those server guys keep what they are working on private and only seen by other server admin that are verified. I haven't seen that here at all. Sure I can spend days on end looking at 6 month old trends and try to figure out how to stop all the dam script junkies out there. When the coders can log in to this site and see what you guys are trying to do to stop them they have already figured out how to bypass anything u guys can do. So far this week alone our server has been over ran by hackers. Hell they can even kick the server admins out of the server. I would love to know how the hell to stop them from doing that. Sorry if I'm coming across as a smart @ss. Really not my intent but I left other games because of this stuff and I really enjoy playing Arma.

Thanks do you know if any already exist? I don't have the first clue on how to make a script.

Hey guys I want to host my server in veteran mode but I still want to be able to see my location on the map with out GPS. How can I do this. Thanks

then were do I put this if(!isServer) exitWith{};
