BEC Scheduler not working at all.

[Scinester]

Hello, i am having a bunch of issues with my BEC scheduler. I do not get any messages to show up at all in my server and the #shutdown doesnt work either in the scheduler. I also use infistar if that can some issues. Also my server doesnt tell me when people connect/disconnect.

 

Here is my bec config:
 

 

#GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY BY VERT HOSTING

[bec]

Ip = 216.244.84.154

Port = 2412

BePath = C:\TCAFiles\Users\JoshA\1182\Bliss\BattlEye

#Admins = Admins.xml

#Commands = Commands.xml

LogDir = Server1

 

[Misc]

Scheduler = Scheduler.xml

#AsciiChatOnly = True

#IgnoreChatChars = �����

ConsoleColor = 1f

Timeout = 60

KickLobbyIdlers = 500

 

Here is my sheduler.xml:

Does you server start through a batch file?

[Scinester]

vert hosting hides the batch files so i cant edit them myself..they have preset launch parameters

[Kar]

Add a < to the top of your scheduler.xml (?xml version="1.0"?>) unless you just forgot to copy that part, and delete the # before #Admins = Admins.xml #Commands = Commands.xml in your main config file

[Scinester]

well i dont even use Admins and Commands and the < is in, just didnt get it copied.

[Kar]

Take out the # before #Commands = Commands.xml, I believe scheduler uses them to #shutdown, etc.

[Scinester]

Take out the # before #Commands = Commands.xml, I believe scheduler uses them to #shutdown, etc.

Here is the thing, does #shutdown restart the server or does it shut it down completely and wont start back up till i start it manually?

[ddmankiller]

Also make sure in your config there is no # before Scheduler = Scheduler.xml

[Kar]

Here is the thing, does #shutdown restart the server or does it shut it down completely and wont start back up till i start it manually?

#shutdown will shut it down and you have to turn it back on, before I had my dedicated server and used .bat files I had my host setup restarts for me via ticket system. You could make a .bat file to launch the server and have the scheduler launch the bat file 3 seconds before it shuts down the server.

[Scinester]

ok i found out i can set scheduled restarts on the control panel..the control panel is in central time but the server is in seattle..i had my scheduler using in game time, not server time. 

[Externized]

Make sure you have a bans.txt file into your battleye folder, If you don't have one simply create a blank one. Even that can cause messages not showing up. Otherwise just put a support ticket at verthosting i have been struggling with this for over 16 hours..  ;)

[Scinester]

apparently BEC isnt creating a log for me, i change the logdir = server1 to logdir = BEC.log and i created a blank file called BEC.log in the same folder as the config..i started up my server again and no logs are coming in.

When you first start your server and on your personal computer you're in lobby does it say "BEC initilizing"?

Just create a support ticket, james will fix it within some hours. ;)

nope, i get Battleye Initilized but thats it.

[Kar]

nope, i get Battleye Initilized but thats it.

I believe when I was with survivalservers I had set passwords on the config.cfg in the cfg's folder and I had a different one somewhere else and it was causing BEC to not start up. I'm not sure if that's your problem here but may aswell check if you have any mismatched passwords

are you talking about rcon passwords? i have an rcon passwords in the config but what different one are you talking about?

[Kar]

re

There is the config.cfg file in your instance folder then there should be another password somewhere else, I'm not really sure it's been a really long time.

[Scinester]

i sent a support ticket in, i dont think BEC is even starting.

Good, james will have it fixed in some hours probably. :) 

[Ped]

I use Vert Hosting and had the same problem. There are actually a few threads here about this same issue.

 

They will add a blank bans.txt file to your files. Basically, BEC is crashing because of no bans.txt file or something to that effect.

 

 

The bans.txt file in Bliss\BattlEye was missing, causing BEC to quit immediately after launching.

I've created a blank bans.txt file and BEC now appears to be connecting properly, so you may want to watch over the sohervice next time a restart/message is due.

 

oh and also about the batch file

 

 

A batch script should not be required to restart the server through the scheduler, you should use the #shutdown command instead (will terminate the ArmA process, which TCAdmin will automatically restart).

[Scinester]

Ped is correct, problem was solved, thanks.

[grave867]

I have an installer for BEC that is supported by the creator of BEC. Linked below is the forum page where it was released if you need the help, it comes with restarts already set up in it.  :)
