*sigh* 0.3.5 released 10 minutes after I asked lol
Looks good. Might do a complete new server for it and change map though. Although I have to wait for Gaming Deluxe to release their updater first anyway

With respect to the developers and recognition of the hard work the put into continuing to add to Epoch, I have watched most of the settings for customization moved out of the mission file, which adds substantially to the work server owners must do to keep our servers running as we intend them to be configured.  I would like to make a plea that there be a config.cpp included in the mission file for basic settings such as build limits, custom zones where building is prohibited, etc. These settings might be included in a config.cpp in the mission.pbo. I have seen config.cpp applied to this purpose very nicely in several modes for Epoch and elsewhere. Asking server owners to dig through the various cfgs and troubleshoot the steps needed to get things working once the description.ext has been modified with little documentation seems a lot to ask.  I am hopeful that future versions will see a little less economy of code and more of an effort the present Epoch as a platform as was said to be the long-term objective a while back.

You can download that dll from the same place as you download eliteness. It might tell you to do another as well

Agreed! We also have no armed vehicles and very few armored vehicles.We spent a long time deciding whether to allow them to spawn / be bought or not. We also don't have rockets for the same reason.
We are a PVP server with AI missions but we spent a long time working out how to keep play fair and balanced. Sadly the new mod that shall remain unnamed in this post has decimated numbers on our Epoch server but I'm hoping this will return when the novelty has worn off and then we'll get a more even split on each of the Mods.

But the vehicles added to a server are down to the server owners, not the epoch mod team...
You can add tanks in Exile as well. Maybe you need to complain to the server owners instead

No worries. I only say it because epoch doesn't spawn tanks as default.
We have them as buyable vehicles on our server, but we're PVE anyway so they're used for doing missions (depending on whether players want to risk a 30k tank at a mission which is spec'd to cope with tanks.
I just didn't want you throwing a decent mod away due to something an owner has implemented.

A3EAI has been updated to version 0.9.0. Update at: https://github.com/dayzai/A3EAI
Please note that just about every component of A3EAI needs to be updated. As usual, headless client and client addon update is only required if your server actually uses them.
Changelog:

Exile don't run servers, the community run them, so a DDOS attack would be totally pointless, you should really educate yourself on these kinds of things.
Thread locked for obvious reasons.

Epoch hasn't lost it's motivation. After seeing the release notes of what's being added in the next patch (within the next week or 2), they're starting to add more content in now. And there are due to be more buildables added in v0.4.
Devs are still working on, it's still being improved, still having new things added. People just need to have some patience.

here is mine, pardon the quality this is the best my little gen 4 ipod could do.

Does that mean that things such as lights will be coming soon as well, if there are new power generators? Would be nice to be able to see when you're in your base ;)

What's wrong with the sappers? There is actually a settings on how much of a chance there is that the sappers will make a noise (if I read the config file correct):
description.ext:
class CfgEpochSapper
{
    detonateDistMax = 8; //Random distance between 3m and this number at which sapper detonates. Min value = 4
    groanTrig = 16; //Percentage chance of a groan. Min value = 4
    sRange = 300; //Distance from target over which sapper will dispose. Range within which sapper code will be aware of targets. Distance up to which sapper will attempt to find a spot to hide in. Min Value = 150.
    smellDist = 24; //Distance up to which sapper can smell. Used to decide if sapper can see target when deciding to charge and influences target selection. Is influenced by wind direction. Min Value = 8.
};
This is also a configurable option:
epochconfig.hpp:
// vehicles - Max vehicle slots is calculated from per vehicle limits below. Warning! Higher the number lower the performance.
simulationHandler = false;
vehicleLockTime = 604800; // Controls how many seconds it takes to allow another person/group to unlock vehicle.
allowedVehiclesList[] = {
You can get repair parts which are used for cars. It's not like arma 2 where you had to find wheels - this would be good. But there are repair parts or repair kits which can be used instead of the multigun. Just remove them from lootspawning so people have to carry repair kits or parts around with them instead.

[Added] Wood Ladder that can be crafted from 4x lumber. [Added] Wood Tower that can be crafted from a Wood Floor and 4x lumber. [Added] Solar Generator base item can be crafted from items found in the world. When placed gives passive power within 75m. [Added] New loot/crafting items (Solar Panels, Wire Cables, Battery Box) added to loot tables. [Changed] Server side database functions renamed and now use cfgFunctions via a new pbo "epoch_server_core". [Changed] Increase max payout of Air Drop event loot. [Changed] Make use of new command getAllHitPointsDamage in A3 1.50 to increase performance of hitpoint data storage. [Changed] Use new A3 command setHitIndex instead of setHitPointDamage so we can use all hitpoints regardless of name. [Changed] Change BIS_fnc_distance2D usage over to distance2D command that added with A3 1.50 for better performance. [Fixed] Only maintain damaged objects and base object health is repaired on maintain action. [Fixed] CfgEpochClient missionConfigFile version check was incorrectly using configFile. [Fixed] Loot object "Blue Tarp" weaponholder proxy position was in the wrong position. [Fixed] Reduce base hunger/thirst loss rate by half if players stamina is above 100. Base rate now can be changed with "baseHTLoss" variable in CfgEpochClient. [Info] Requres Arma 3 1.50 or higher. [ServerInfo] Removed old .bikey and added new one for 0330.[/code]and more

You get them from placing markers in the 3D map editor, as detailed in the instructions...

That way, the script won't execute at all because it will wait until the 3 condition are mets. The way it is now, it will wait until one of the 3 conditions are mets, but thank you :)

The instructions on this script are nice and easy. If you can't figure this one out, its probably best to get rid of the server ;)
I dont think this looks like it's coming from this script. To me, this looks like some sort of status bar type thing

Invision upgrade, 4.x is brand new, 3.x is outdated and no longer supported.
Let me ask you this, do you still run Windows XP or have you also updated, notice how the new updates change the layouts and features ?

GD servers are in the battleye folder in the server root :)  The problem is that they are in different places depending on your host, which is probably why people don't tell you where the files are :)
This script is mainly just a copy and paste job though, with a few edits if you want to amend the prices (i edited all of them yesterday which took a while) and a few other settings

Yes, I want to play in Vanilla servers. However, I explained my reasons why I have a problem with modded servers, at least when it comes to changing default Epoch values and adding bullshit into context menu. Sure, random AI is to each his own, same with heli crashes with 10 navids and ground loot etc. But there are things, that I think are worse objectively and I think I explained it the best I could why those things suck. And OP asked for opinions anyway, so I just shared mine. No offense taken or anything. I am just fed up with Epoch servers. If Epoch gonna die, it will die because of stupid server owners.
 
P.S. About black markets, at first I thought the idea is great, but when I played a while I realized that it just does not fit into Epoch. Again, to each his own, some people love it, some ignore it, but I personally can not ignore it, especially when all TOP 30 servers have black markets. Just personal preference, I think Epoch is just fine the way it is, and adding more loot isn't doing any good.

You need to add a cfgPricing.hpp file as described above, the reference it in your description.ext file.
Not all vehicles will go on there though. Like the Marid, for example doesn't appear on the admin menu even if on the file.
