alecwilcox Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 It is shutting down arma and everything but it is not running the restart.bat. I have double checked to make sure the bat and everything works and it does. The problem is in the scheduler it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahughes3 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi, i seemed to install the tool ok and everytime i run the start file the BEC splash window shows up. However i'm getting no restarts and the ingame messages are not woking. Any suggestions what it could be or where to start looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecwilcox Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Make sure you have a bans.txt Also for my problem i just changed it so it shutdown the server and runs the bat at the same time. This is ok becuase there is already a 7 sec delay built into the restart.bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grave867 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I personally have no idea why the restarts or messages wouldn't work. When BEC starts does it say scheduled 42 tasks if so it should be working. If not then BEC can't find your scheduler and you will have to delete all those files and use the installer again. If it still doesn't show up after that then idk :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grave867 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well I am now back to updating the tool, my windows became corrupted but luckily I managed to salvage the source code using ubuntu. Yay for linux :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it still doesn't show up after that then idk :huh: When I click on the start.bat in my main server folder, a black window comes up and with something about waiting so many seconds press any key. So I let that count down and then another couple of lines of text flash up in the black window but then the window closes itself before I get a chance to see what the lines say. Not sure if that is the 42 tasks thing you're on about? After the window disappears I get a BEC splash window (red/silver) which stays on for a few moments, along with the boxes and ticks showing me that arma2oa is starting. After a short while the these disappear and I'm left with the usual server host box. Make sure you have a bans.txt Also for my problem i just changed it so it shutdown the server and runs the bat at the same time. This is ok becuase there is already a 7 sec delay built into the restart.bat I didn't have this in my files so I added it in the same folder with whitelist, admins, scheduler etc, but it's made no difference. I still get no restarts, no messages or anything. Any other thoughts before I have to try reinstalling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No becasue when i run the restart bat it works. It looks like to me that the delay between the server stopping and bec running the bat file is too long that bec shutsdown becasue it has lost connection to the armaserver.

ahughes3 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 The simplest check to know if BEC is even running at all would be to see the messages come up in game. At least then I would know it's processing something. I am sure it's something extremely basic like my file paths are wrong but for the life of me, I've checked again and again.

The file paths shouldn't be wrong unless you changed file names from the default server install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like to me that the delay between the server stopping and bec running the bat file is too long that bec shutsdown becasue it has lost connection to the armaserver. If anything the wait time would be too short since bec doesn't care when it starts just as long as the server is fully running when it starts. However I recently updated the tool for people who don't have a database password, since before if you didn't have one the tool wouldn't work. The best thing I can recommend is to do a fresh install of your server and then use the UEP BEC Installer again. This is not the first time I have had people not get it to work then they do a fresh install and then everything is fine. Generally if the tool doesn't work right out of the box it is something that you have done to your server that is causing it not to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahughes3 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ok so is there an uninstall with this or do I just install over the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grave867 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 You can just install over it and windows will just ask you to overwrite all of the files and you click yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grave867 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks for the input guys, I went through the code and fixed the hang up problem. My IDE auto complete added something that wasn't suppose to be there the last time I made an edit. Thanks for your patience guys, the fix is live on my github it took me a while to post it since I just got the time to set up my desktop again.

Corper Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 When it says extract into server folder, which folder is this specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grave867 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 When it says extract into server folder, which folder is this specifically? The main folder so for instance if all my server files are located in a folder called dayz_server then that is what you would paste it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_R Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 When you make your server you define a folder, whatever folder you copied your server files into is the same folder you put the program in. ex: mine is: Z:\epoch_server\ all the arma 2 and arma 2 OA files are in that folder, so is the UEP BEC installer.exe. Run as administrator and after a few questions and a minute or so after picking the map type bec is ready to run. just find the "start.bat" in the folder and double click on it. be sure your server is running before you click the "start.bat". you can edit the messages or timed restarts at your leisure.

Richie Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Well it installed fine and shut the server down, It then fails to restart it :unsure: Some documentation would help, what needs done after install ? *Edit* Let it run a second time and same thing, server stops but never restarts.

grave867 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Are both of you staying logged into windows when running the server? I am going to see if I can replicate your issue. There isn't anything you should have to do after install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
