Desolate

We have solved the mystery as to why our server is crashing last night. We run a server with plenty of bandwidth for all the players. We have a certain "hacker" who can crash our server in game before battleye finishes its startup. We have banned his guid and ip but he keeps coming back under vpns from all over the country. This is a huge issue it has destroyed our takistan life server. We know its him because we have made contact with him in ts and he has all but admitted it. We know this is a hacker problem not a server problem. From what we know it is in no way a ddos attack, when the attack happens it simply disconnects everyone from the server but the server is technically still running.

I'm looking to setup a trigger that when entered kills the tlr comp script. For instance in a gang area, then restarts it when you leave. That way kills vs unarmed players in a gang area receive no compensation. I understand the "scriptname" terminate works, but how can I restart the loop after it is stopped.

When starting my test server by hitting new server ingame the mission loads fine and I can just start it up, but when doing this I cant login as admin and test scripts. For some reason when I run arma2oaserver.exe in anyway shape or form the voting will end and it wont start.Even if I log in as admin and try to start it, it still will go to wait for host then kick me back to map selection lobby. I have tried everything so I need a bit of help lol. ---------- Post added at 17:46 ---------- Previous post was at 17:17 ---------- Just tested even running without the custom server.cfg the map still fails to load, or even provide an error or reason it didnt ---------- Post added at 18:04 ---------- Previous post was at 17:46 ---------- I have now narrowed it down to some of my files keys not being accepted by the server, any fixes for that?

That was extremely helpful thanks ---------- Post added at 19:25 ---------- Previous post was at 19:21 ---------- With some of this information I have completed a small scale stat save system, but I was wondering is there anyway to take a snapshot(using a script) of the server before restarting so that it wont wipe everyones stats upon restart. So that I can just reload the mission where everyone has the same money they had before the server restarted.

I have all the scripts the mission file and everything I need for a new dedicated arma server. The problem is I honestly don't know where to put them besides the MPMissions folder. The stat save does not work and neither do alot of the other scripts, so I figure I have them located in the wrong directory. My current setup is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\MPMissions\, with anarchyinthetk.takistan, build, scripts outside the pbo files in that directory. Are SQF scripts supposed to be in another directory?

I have played ArmA II for a while now and I am thinking of starting an Island Life server. Which, in its self isn't hard to get a mission file for and begin to edit things in. Though I have run in to a problem, I have almost no clue how a stat save system works on a server. I know basic sqf scripting and sql server scriping, but I am having a hard time tying it all together. If anyone could explain how it works or link me a tutorial on how to setup this type of system It would be much appreciated. Also just the basics of adding in addons/admin tools onto a server. Thanks ahead for the help! ---------- Post added at 19:23 ---------- Previous post was at 19:00 ---------- Also I forgot to mention I would love to know how a server's directories are setup to use all the scripts properly.
