Richie Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Very nice :) Scheduled restarts was always a PITA to setup, anything that makes it easier is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Installation went fine, except when I click the start it runs my server fine. But once it launches the BE window it says Waiting for Server Startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please make sure that the server password you type in is the same as your database password that you have set up in your server hive.ext file.

grave867 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Well I had a little talk with the creator of BattlEye Extended Controls and this tool will soon have a home on their official website! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumax Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Logan Installation went fine, except when I click the start it runs my server fine. But once it launches the BE window it says Waiting for Server Startup. To the developer. this can be a case of the name of the server has been renamed. IE. from Arma2oaserver.exe to somethign else. when this happens Bec will fail to startup unless you specify this in the config file or use --dsc. You should adapt the tool so it check the file info on the exe files in the dir, to ensure that it has set the ServerExeName in the config if this happens.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11350008/how-to-get-exe-file-version-number-from-file-path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grave867 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Verified my password. server name. Same issue <_< I am really eager to fix your problem as I don't want anyone else to have problems with this tool, so I have a couple of questions to ask. Is this a new install of the server using all the default setting? Have you changed anything dealing with your instance folder? Have you edited any of the server .bat files? Once I figure out your problem I will edit the tool to take care of these types of issues. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then re run the program, I'll let you know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then re run the program, I'll let you know what happens. Just make sure that you do all the stuff needed for the new steam update in your bat files or your server won't start before or after my tool.

Kimzer Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Unrelated to this post, but are there any overviews to what BEC plugins are out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grave867 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 There is a list of the plugins available on the official BEC website on the left side of the linked page, I am sure you can google them individually to see all about them. As for an overview there really isn't one, I may have to put one together in the near future. :) http://ibattle.org/downloads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grave867 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Tool Update #2 Features: I will be attempting to add automated setup for dedicated hoster's utilizing server virtualization on dedicated boxes. Added error handling for extreme cases of server batch file customization Proper File property details An Icon so the tool doesn't look crap :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumax Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 nice.. if your open to suggestion. what about a checkbox for advance configuration ? Ie, if this box is checked you can go through some of the setting and enable example. asciichat only, ignorechatchars. maxplayernamelenght. slotlimit etc etc. just an idea. anyway keep up the work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raziel23x Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 raziel23x commented 13 hours ago Is there any way to release actual code instead of compiled version to actually see what's going on Brandon Batton Owner bbatton commented an hour ago When I was first making this tool I had planned to release the source code for it, but after weighing the pros and cons of doing so the cons were just simply higher than the pros. So I actually rewrote the entire tool in another language that was compilable to avoid the following issues. -Outside alteration of installer that would be detrimental to its success and/or packaging harmful code -Removal of branding and authorship for the purpose of re-distribution Honestly there are only two pros to releasing the source code that being people may know of a better way of coding some of the features and people trusting my code more since they can see what it does. People will eventually trust my code regardless of it being compiled if my software carries a good reputation that precedes it, such trust is something to develop over time not over night so this doesn't bother me. So in conclusion I do not plan on releasing the source code for this tool unless the full community demands I do so with a valid reason beyond me being a new developer that hasn't earned his metal yet.

grave867 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I don't see the point of posting this here but ok. No I don't plan on releasing the source code for my tool as I did say in my github issue post, there is no reason to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange stuff that BEC ^^ Yea that is why I say it is best to put the wide area network ip for the server, so that way there is no issues :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
