I run a Namalsk server and can definitely say that it isn't caused by that. The radio command menu seems like a reasonable explanation! Things like that have to be banned because otherwise people can make executing their scripts even easier by making it visible with a nice and easy menu! We don't want to give them that, do we :D. The way the AH does it, is it bans every commandingmenu that is called and only allows the ones that are added in the exceptions at AHconfig. For future reference if you ever make a new commandingmenu or add an existing one from a script

Great post Ruben!

So much drama in the LBC, it's kinda hard being Snoop D oh double G

I would like to know as well. Can you send server files? :D

We all know that feeling, you just got your server tweaked and optimized just how you like it and an Epoch update comes out!  OH NO! what do we do?  Wait for the mod authors to release their own patch?  Hell no!  We diffmerge!
 
If you followed my guide on how to override mod files, you may be asking "what happens if the files we overrode changed on an update?"  well the answer depends if it was changed.  Here is how you can locate all the changes if there are any and make the changes needed to keep your server running.
 
What you'll need: Diffmerge, A working copy of DayZEpoch Server, modifications
Difficulty: Advanced
 
 
Scenario 1: An epoch mod update came out and you being a good admin want to make sure there were no changes made to your reference file.
For this guide, we will assume you modified the variables.sqf by using my tutorial
 
Locate the files you have made changes to Locate the original file Diffmerge the two files and compare changes, merging where necessary Right click your original file and select "Diffmerge->Open With Diffmerge" Click "Browse" on the 2nd line referencing the "right" file.  Note diffmerge always goes from left to right.  Meaning the file you wish to change or update needs to be on the right hand side! Here's what the diffmerge window looks like, note the changes in red.  You can see where we added the new class reference.

 
If we click the down arrow (Next Change) we can scroll all the way to the right and see where we added our new skin
 

 
 
That's it.  Just take a look at all the changes and use your reasoning to determine if you need to make changes.
 
If you are being studious, you may have noticed a few more changes near the bottom of the file represented by the red "-" on the left.  Ignore these, normally you would only see the top two changes.

More like why do people make terrible guides that are pointless.

Just run this:
delete FROM `character_data` USING character_data, character_data AS tmpcharacter_data WHERE NOT character_data.CharacterID=tmpcharacter_data.CharacterID AND character_data.CharacterID<tmpcharacter_data.CharacterID AND (character_data.PlayerUID=tmpcharacter_data.PlayerUID)

Agreed, I was never a fan of "hide body" since it wasn't practical. Drag bodies makes a lot more sense.

There's a Community Servers forum for this: http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/18-community-servers/

For one, you did not create this.
 
The original script for this came from Player2 on opendayz.net.
 
Secondly, your pack.sqf is badly written and will delete any object that the user is looking at including buildings and built objects.

Went through a little re-brand of ATD. New colors.
 
Old:

Nice! 
 
You could put a safezone around this as well where you let players shoot but give them godmode so they can't be killed.

you've played Arma3 Epoch already AND you have helicopters? :O

You can right click on binoculars or range finders on our servers to choose your view distance :D

If you wipe DB pretty sure your player base would be wiped as well :D

Means you have hacks installed :D

Hello, just a month or so back the long awaited Taviana 3 update was brought back to life, ( http://www.opendayz.net/threads/taviana-3-0-update.8736/ ) and its soon done. so will you guys maybe try to make it compatible with epoch, since it is using the dayz 1.8 it can be a bit tricky. or maybe you will add the 1.8 code to epoch? :P well i would like to see this happen cause Taviana is my favorite map

So 14k objects isn't ideal? :D

Add this to init.sqf:
 
DZE_StaticConstructionCount = 1;

This was posted by one of my admins on our forums:
Quite a few people over the last few weeks have been asking for help with their game crashing on startup / at random moments in the game. So i thought i'd share what worked for me :) I hope these steps work as good for you as they do for me, but i can't guarantee this will work for you! So basically for those of you that have problems with your game crashing on joining / starting up the game, try adding the following line in your startup parameters on dayz commander under settings: -malloc=system For those of you that crash ingame at random moments, go to your Battleye folder and manually delete all files in there and "verify game cache" on steam which then should *renew* your battleye files and sort the problem (only works for those of you who have steam). For me, my Battleye folder is under: E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye If all that doesn't work, you may want to do a fresh install of Arma 2 and Epoch and repeat the steps above. In case any of you reading this have other useful tips, please share! :D Hope this helped and good luck!
