Are you running the server with the 1.63.112555 beta patch?
-
@Inevitable Gaming:
have you made sure you are running the steam patch (125548)?
These above issues are what we usually see when people either:
a.) Incorrectly merge 1.0.4.2 files to 1.0.5.1
b.) having the server run outdated and bad patches (aka 112555)
c.) completely missed to include important variables in custom variable.sqf/compiles.sqf
d.) all of the above.
@ToeFungi
You have bad DB entries in your traders_data table.
If you are running an Overpoch server, make sure to search for the following:
SELECT * from traders_data where buy like '%[5"%' or sell like '%[2"%' or sell like '%[3"%'
If you simply have entered custom items, then you are likely to have messed up somewhere.
Check your hive log and see if you have any "CHILD:399:" errors and follow the process here:
-
Rule of thumb would be:
- If it is something on your back: addBackpackCargoGlobal
- If it is something classified as weapon (including hatchet as the item in your hands): addWeaponCargoGlobal
- If it is anything else that generally goes into your inventory (but never into weapon slots): addMagazineCargoGlobal
You can also use the DB classification of 1,2,3 to determine if an item is Item (1, or addMagazineCargoGlobal ), Backpack/vehicle (2, or addBackpackCargoGlobal) or Weapon (3, or addWeaponCargoGlobal)
-
You are using the AddWeaponCargoGlobal call for items. Change it to AddMagazineCargoGlobal and try again.
Like this:
// AMMO _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", 40]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["100Rnd_762x54_PK", 6]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["100Rnd_556x45_BetaCMag", 6]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["PG7V", 2]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["20Rnd_762x51_DMR", 16]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["200Rnd_556x45_M249", 16]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["5Rnd_127x99_AS50", 14]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["100Rnd_762x51_M240", 10]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["20Rnd_762x51_B_SCAR", 8]; _box addMagazineCargoGlobal ["USSR_5Rnd_408", 8];
Also make extra sure you also have defined the box name "Sector_B_Weapons" properly.

Hey.
Can you tell me your version number from line 5 in the AH.sqf?
Can you also provide an RPT log from the server, where the start of the server is shown, and the AH kicks can be seen?
Also, please tell us what type of scripts you have installed recently, in case this might be related. -
Starting to notice a trend in gray screen issues... :huh:
Can you tell me if these players have just logged in, rushes over there to buy a heli and then after 1 - 5 min after they logged in get unresponsive (cant control anything) just before getting the Grayscreen, forcing them to terminate Arma2 to close?
If so, try this:
1.) Once logged in, press and hold [Left Ctrl] and press [Numpad Minus].
2.) Once you let go of the above combination, type: flush
3.) You should get a black screen and "receiving data", and after a short loading time, you get the "No Bad Content Found" check.
If the above occurrence is what is happening, and teh steps are fixing it for your players, let me know. Have a feeling we will need to repeat this alot in the next few weeks.
-
Are you constantly getting to a gray screen after said 1-2 minute?
Try doing the following:
1.) Once logged into the server, hold down [Left Ctrl] key and press [Numpad Minus]
2.) Then type: flush
This apparently causes the server to try and refresh and verify your session, which is what it sounds like you are having an issue with.

help me error "authentication timeout"
You do know that asking in this way is not going to help you solve it quickly?
Please add info on the steps you take to get this error (we kind of figure you are loading in, but as player or Admin), so we can suggest ways to help.
Good info to share:
- Latest (full) RPT log in a pastebin
- Host provider (cause fix might be flavored for the specifics of that host provider).
Any recent changes you made to Server and mission files.

Hi I have a problem with the InfiStar Safezone – I want the safe Zone OFF at Hero and Bandit.
I am almost 100% sure that they were off at some point – but now they are on……so maybe I am wrong.
I have removed these two lines from safezone.cfg so I don’t understand why there is safe zones those to places …… please help
[[1606.6443,7803.5156],150,true],
[[12944.227,12766.889],150,true],
If you have the latest version of the safezone script, then you have two ways of using it....
1.) Use the default tradercity info = no need to use the list of worldpositions
2.) Use the custom location list = not going to listen to tradercity info and instead use your defined list of positions.
If you want to remove the Hero/Bandit protection, switch your defined variables at the top to be FALSE for the "Use Tradercity" options and then make sure you dont have the Hero/Bandit locations defined in the position list.
-
What is the complete version name for it? 19072014IAHAT332E ?
-
If you want to have it as a safezone, you need to define a position for it, so your script can protect people inside that zone.
Cant remember if AGN has a feature to specify positions to protect or not - if it does, make sure to add the location of the Aircraft Vendor to it.
-
Possible areas you want to check for issues:
1.) Check that you are calling the correct mission file from your servers config.cfg (possible bad spelling in config)
2.) Check that you are having the correct $PREFIX$ or $PBOPREFIX$ in your dayz_server.pbo (possible bad unpack/repack) -
Do you have any additional launch parameters set in your Steam for Arma2 OA? If so, please remove them.

My first immediate response would be "Have you updated to 1.63.125548?", but I see from the RPT that you have not.
Try to update it, then update your client install to be using 125548 as well and let us know if the issue persists.

We appreciate your time and effort to get our issues sorted :D
We're looking forward to the Arma 3 Epoch release as well, I've got my head wrapped round the coding to try and familiarize myself with A3 scripting lol.
I would rest that head of yours - it's not likely to be something we will see anytime soon. Having seen the codebase for AltisLife, I wish I could send Pharmaceutical strength Advil through Internet.... cause that will hurt most people. :)

In my experience, if you connect to a server and for a second see the lobby but then switches to a solid gray screen, then you have been banned by AH.
What version of AH are you running? (Should be seen on line 5 in the AH.sqf)
-
Anytime - dont hesitate to ask if you guys get into problems. As long as you have made an effort to try and search for a solution, you'll find tons of people here that can help you out with troubleshooting and knowledge for free.

Thanks for the quick reply,
We got the new versions from 5.1, this doesn't matter too much however as we had it working with AH 329 but when updating to 330c it caused the error.
As for the dialogs where would I find how to set these.
If you purchased it from InfiSTAR.de, contact InfiSTAR with your email/paypal that was used when purchasing and ask for the latest update, as it's up to 332z now. :)
If you did not, I urge you to get it from the source, cause its always better to get updates from the man himself. :)

When looking at Dedicated, the difference would be a server running 3.2 Ghz vs 3.7Ghz... Prices can sometimes be a factor when deciding, so if there is a potential gain with going 3.2 and customizing Ram for the purpose of running Ramdisk, that would be something for sure.
Ultimately, I would love to see someone managing to set up a persistent cloud server running Epoch - but from what I can tell, you would have to run the Linux version if you want to do it now.
A bit of a tangent there, but anyway.. :)

If you picked up ready-made SQL files with all the Overwatch trader items from the forum here, you should do a search in the files for the following:
Search for: "5]
Search for: "2]
Those two flaws were found when I looked at one of the SQL posts here - I believe they were in the ACR list, but dont quote me on that. :)

I wrote a quick guide on how to troubleshoot Child 399 errors here:

When you updated, did you simply winmerge your 1.0.4.2 version of the compiles and fn_selfaction files, or did you do it properly by taking the 5.1 version from the dayz_code.pbo?
Also, can you tell us what version of AH you are running? Your version number can be found on line 5 in the AH.sqf.
Also check that your _CUD and _ALLOWED_Dialogs are set properly.

Is the positions set up correctly?
In the default Chernarus list, there are no comments added for the positions, so your signs are being shown.
In your case, you have added comments to a closed array, likely confusing things.
Remove the // lines and you will see that it works.
If you still want to keep a list to make it easy to remember, simply copy the one you have before you removed the comment, and do like this:
