Somehow ican not understand your point here.
If you dont have much time to customize your own server nor the skills, then why do you want one in the first place?
Why throwing out money for someone who simply follow easiest instructions (which you could do yourself) and pay a host for a server instead of just play on one that is already good and has the manpower to maintain it?
You will never get a ultra unique server with exclusive scripts and fancy stuff on your server if you pay someone to do it. Nobody is expecting that your server is done in 2 Days and is playable with all the stuff on it, i work on my for about 2 years now and started about 5 tomes completly from the scratch. If you need help, here and on opendayz, there are allways people to help your for free, but this is your choice, this was just my opinion to this topic ;)
Why do I want one? Because I have not found one that I am completely happy with. The closest one I could find to my liking was infested with horrible admin that abused powers. I am looking for a somewhat hardcore server. As mentioned in another post I made I am looking to bring back the survival aspect of DayZ for my server. I also do not believe that I need to do any or all of the work if I wish to own a server. Nor do I expect my server to be completely unique by doing something like this.
You are right about myself not having the time. Now the skills to do so may be argued. Like I have said in another post and I believe in the opening post I made here. I am fully capable of getting this done with more time. The scripting isnt an issue at all actually, its the structure of the site and the installation instructions. I have had a hard time finding the files I need to edit because I have never done something like this. Skills to implement scripts someone else wrote? yea that requires little skill at all to be honest. I can easily copy/paste and follow instructions. I just do not have the time to do so. I understand no one expects the server to be up in 2 days. I just didnt realize it would take me this long to do it. I intended to spend all spring break getting it all set up and ready before school starts up again on monday. I will admit i assumed too much and quickly realized this was not possible. Bad judgement on my part.
But please explain to me why I cannot do what I want this way? Do you believe that the owner must do everything? Thats a bit absurd dont you think? You dont have to understand, nor agree with my ways of doing this. Like you said, that is your opinion. One I did not ask for. I simply asked for help with doing this, help in which you provided with the first post you made. This second post is in no way contributing to my thread or issues at all.
But to clear things up a little better I will explain some more. I can very much so get this done (with time I do not have) I am a college student, with a job and a side business doing websites and graphic design for people. I cannot afford the time to get this done as quickly as I had intended. I also do not wish to pay for the server for months without having time to get work done on it. So I would do as any business owner would do and delegate the responsibility to another employee. I say employee beacuse I offered to pay and I do not intend to just dump this onto someone else with no benefit to them. Again you do not have to understand why I do what I do, because quite honestly I tend to do things differently than most. You may feel this is a waste of my money, but is it really? I could easily buy everything I need. You say I wont have custom/exclusive scripts if I pay someone? I beg to differ. You are saying I cannot pay someone to custom script something for me? Do you understand that if I were to pay for someone to do a script I own the script. Which means it IS EXCLUSIVE. Hell if I had the money I could pay someone to build me a brand new game If I wanted to. I obviously cant, nor do i want to, but for you to say I cant have exclusivity from hiring someone to script for me is crazy. Did you script everything yourself on your server? I don't mean installing scripts someone else wrote, I mean litterally writing the code yourself. I doubt you did, if you did..bravo for you and ill eat my words, but i doubt it..
thanks for your opinion, but your logic is more flawed than mine in this situation. Rethink what you have said and also consider how businesses are ran, because you seem to be mistaken in a number of aspects of it..

You dont have to pay anyone, only think that could be a bit difficult is to set up that thing on a dedicate machine, for the rest use this repack:
http://opendayz.net/threads/release-sheeps-epoch-repack-new-support-coming.14561/
easy to modify and easy to install, give that man a dollar and you are with a good pack ;)
Thanks I will look into it buthonestly I am looking for something more customized without having to do it. My problem isnt understanding the scripts or how to implement them. I mean that part is sort of tricky in some situations but my biggest problem now is time. Being a full time student I have very little to no spare time during the week so ideally I'd like to have someone customize it for me and i just provide the details
yeah, i can help.
i already have 3 finished epoch server with all kinds of mod.
you can come to my TS channel and talk.
Ill be online in the afternoon
I will get on as soon as i can, I have a few things i need to do today but should be able to get on around 5 Cali time.

So, being that I work on websites daily, understanding multiple programming languages I assumed that creating a server and uploading scripts would be a breeze..BOY WAS I WRONG!!
I am on spring break this week and thought Id have the week to setup/test the server and not have to do any MAJOR work to it after this week. I now see that this is going to take longer than I had anticipated and althought I plan to continue to learn how to setup the server and add scripts (may also take a stab at some custom scripting eventually) I do not think I will be able to accomplish what I wanted by Monday.
So, I want to hire someone to set up my server for me. I have a list of some of the scripts I want to include and also have some ideas for tweaks I want done to loot spawning and such. I am willing to pay someone to do this for me. Is anyone interested in setting up a server for me? If so please include pricing and how long it would take? I will leave a brief list of what I want added/tweaked.
I would like to have:
Loadout/Class selections on spawn
Spawn selection
Plot for life, Vectors, snap build pro
group management
single currency (with gems?)
WAI
Custom AI Cities with loot
+ the essentials, deployable bikes, bloodbags, refueling...ect...
(on one server I was on the AI would take over a city and then move to another after awhie...this sounds like something Id like if possible)
I would also like to tweak the loot spawns so that it is more difficult to find loot.

Also, is step 12 obsolete? it says "Note: Infistar's filters now include this."
if not...where would I find this file?
Sorry for all the issues I am having. More than anything i am confused about where to find files...not really any issues with the coding(or more accurately copy/Paste haha)
-
New problem.. I am stuck on the second part of step 11... the first section of this step asks me to find and delete specific lines. I only found 1 line still there and deleted it. I was given this Infistar files from an old friend. He use to run a server and no longer does so some of the files have been edited. I assume he has already deleted these files. Where I am stuck now is the part that asks me to
Find and delete these from the FNCRestored check (_FRC):
'lbsetpicture',
'lbSetData',
'createMarkerLocal',
'setMarkerTextLocal',
'setMarkerTypeLocal',
'setMarkerColorLocal',I do not know what or where the FNCRestored is? I have looked around but am completely lost on this one again!

You need the player_switchModel.sqf from dayz_epoch\addons\dayz_code\compile, not from dayz_overpoch\compile.
I've looked in multiple locations and cannot seem to find what I need. I have opened every DayZ_epoch folder and wasnt able to find any Player_switchModel.sqf
unless....am i suppose to open the dayz_code.pbo? if so am i suppose to repack it and put it back in? Should I just make a copy and open the PBO on my desktop taking the file and making a dupe?
--EDIT--
nevermind problem solved. I made the copy and opened it up and found what I needed. I think I am just over complicating things! anyway thanks for your help

As it is stated in the title I cannot find the file I need to copy into my custom folder and edit it to work with Group Managment. As it stands I am at step 3 of http://opendayz.net/threads/release-dzgm-dayz-group-management.20293/
I am using Vilayer LTD Hosting
I am in vilayercodecustom > dayz_overpoch > compile
in the compile folder i see different sqf files. they prefix with server_ for example theres a file that titled server_playerDeaths.sqf
but i do not see the file I am looking for? any help?

As far as installing mods, install mods only on your server that you want. Want most servers do today in A2 Epoch is overkill there servers with scripts. To an extent to where the game isn't even fun and there is no challenge to it. So be sure to put some difficulty into your server. Don't make it so easy for players to secure loot, and don't flood the map with military buildings. Don't follow the road that everyone goes down with Dayz servers. Create things on your server that other servers don't have and try to remember not to pull away from the real concept of DayZ. Survival.
Funny you mention this. This is the main reason i decided to build my own server. Felt like the survival aspect of the game has been lost. I most definitely want it to be militarized but i want the heavy weapons to be extremely rare and expensive. I couldnt agree more with your comments about losing the true concept of DayZ!

DZE_SelfTransfuse = true; DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [12000, 15, 300];
Put that in your mission init.sqf and that's self bloodbag taken out of the equation.I will say, and I don't mean this to sound nasty, but you REALLY need to read every single thing on this forum. If you don't know how to add self blood, you are in trouble with the rest of it for sure. Start by looking through here :
That is a pretty comprehensive list of the most popular mods in servers today. As long as you know your way around your server structure (server pbo's, how to unpack/repack them, where your mission folder is and it's structure, etc) then following directions in the various script threads and straight copy/pasting stuff shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes you will come up against a script that will require you to merge 2 of the same files together and that's where you can come unstuck. If that happens, post a thread detailing what you are trying to accomplish and someone will more than likely help you out, or at least steer you in the right direction.
But as I said, start reading this place front to back and for your own sake, set a server up on a home PC as well. That way you can use that as a test bed to make sure things work before pushing them live and stuffing it all up completely.
Oh no its not that i dont know how to do it myself.. It was that i thought it was already included.. N after realizing that it was not included i began to wonder what other things i may overlook.
Thanks for the advice

So i have just purchased my subscription with Vilayer for a A2DayZ server. I currently have it set up to run Overpoch and from there I have done minor server adjustments. Like installing Battleye, setting up scheduled server resets, vehicle limit and some customization to the information displayed and MOTD.
Can anyone advise me on what to do from here? I will purchase infastar AH in a day or so, other than that can someone tell me what scripts (plugins? addons? not sure what they are called?). I know some of the features I want but am afraid I may be missing some? I just found out Self Blood Bags were something i have to add that i thought were standard and preinstalled. So i wonder if there are other small things I am overlooking. Any help would be great.
Also any advice on how to get trusted admins and such?
Help set up my server? Will Pay!
in Scripting

Trust me, I see your point of paying someone to do something I could/anyone could do. You seem to forget that the main reason I want to pay someone to do it is simply because I do not have the time to do it NOW. Do not get me wrong I believe the people who have written the scripts should get their fair share of compensation as well. You also seem to assume that I will be doing this forever..which is also not true. I am interested in getting someone to set it all up for me now but do not in no way intend to keep it this way. I may have gotten a bit defensive but I am not offended as of now.
I am building my own server..that is that...I do not need people to recommend servers to me because likei said..I AM BUILDING MY OWN. I may have not mentioned it and I will not go into details but this server will only be a small fraction of a larger and more thoughtout venture that I am pursuing. I have many plans to combine this with other business projects I am working on. Like I said I will not go into details as of yet as I am still working out some of the smaller things.
Again, I am not offended and I would like to apologize as well. I am a bit agressive that is just in my nature.
Again, the scripting is not my problem. I can very easily understand scripts. I have written numerous programs for websites and such. I am a college student and I have taken classes for PHP, CSS,HTML,JS as well as began to teach myself some C++ and Java. The scripts are not the problem. Time is the problem. I work, go to school, and have other obligations. When im not doing those I am either working on the side,again i do graphic design and build websites, so scripting and things of that nature are nothing new to me.
The only free time I have is during breaks like the one I was just on and the little time I have on weekends. During those times Id much rather be playing than trying to put my server up. I understand this may not make sense to most of you and honestly it does not have to.
I would love and appreciate any help I can get as long as it is not advice to stop my plans..as that is just not happening. If I cannot find someone to do this for me I will do this myself. It will happen and I honestly may fail at it! But i will not be discouraged nor will I change my mind half way thru. When I set my mind to doing something I accomplish it. I may not always get the results I was hoping for but i get it done none the less..
