    CTru89 got a reaction from SchwEde in Help set up my server? Will Pay!   
    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..

    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.

    CTru89 reacted to ElDubya in Starting a new server and need some advice   
    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.
