Admin Menu - Variables Restrictions

steamROLLER · December 4, 2014

When using Admin Menu, I receive a BattleEye kick for public variable restrictions. I understand we're supposed to allow these menus and variables within the .txt file but what do we need to add to make it pass BattleEye?

(e.g. 5 !="currentinvites" !="AdminReq")

Skaronator · December 4, 2014

both are not our variables

steamROLLER · December 4, 2014

I understand those are not your variables. Those were examples. The admin menu loads Skaronator but if I click my name then select "Give Ammo" or "Heal" it kicks me for PublicVariable: Restriction #0

Typically, this can be fixed by adding the public variable for that menu/script within the publicvariable.txt file to grant access for that functionality to start working. My only concern is when adding the public variable to grant access, I'm opening up potential areas hackers can abuse. Am I correct? -- If not, it would be greatly appreciated to provide the correct variables to use.

Thanks,

steamROLLER

You need to run BEC, our ServerDLL update the publicVars automatically to the random generated vars.

steamROLLER · December 4, 2014

Skar,

I'll try that, appreciate the quick response bro

RC_Robio · December 4, 2014

GTXgaming is having everyone delete publicvariable.txt from there filters to get tools to work. Not the brightest thing to do.

steamROLLER · December 4, 2014

Skar,

That worked! - I was already running BEC.exe to restart server but I wasn't using your BEServer.dll - replaced with yours and now the menus work perfectly. :)

Wait, so the BEServer.dll is custom?

Hey everyone,

Just to clear this up, and make it as easy to understand as possible... In order for the new built in Admin Tools to work properly your server has to meet a few requirements.

1) You must have Battleye enabled

2) You must have BEC installed, running, and using the WatchDog plugin

3) You must use the BEServer.dll file that is included with the Server Files

If your server meets all these requirements then you'll need to do the following to ensure it's configured to work properly.

1) Open the @EpochHive folder

2) Edit "EpochServer.ini"

3) Look for the following line:

BattlEyePath =

And set it to the path that the BEServer.dll file is located in. NOT your BEC path. Example:

BattlEyePath = C:\Servers\A3_Epoch\SC\BattlEye

If you did everything correctly, in your BEC console window you should see something like:

BE Filter file:publicvariable.txt was changed. reloading data...

See attached screenshot for an example. If you don't see this or you see error messages in your BEC console regarding WatchDog, then your admin tools will not work, and will kick you any time you try to do anything.

3) You must use the BEServer.dll file that is included with the Server Files

I'm use the latest BEServer.dll from ibattle.org instead off the supplied and do not have issues.

Darth_Rogue · December 6, 2014

And even if you try to use the supplied one Battleye just downloads the new one on the next server restart anyways.

arjona00 · December 6, 2014

Does watchdog require any configuration?

nedfox · December 6, 2014

I didn't change anything watchdog related (just put the plugin in) and it works fine.

arjona00 · December 7, 2014

My path have spaces., like this

C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\SC\BattlEye

Could it be the problem?

nedfox · December 7, 2014

No, since I have the same and works flawless.

Post your config files here so we can have a look ? (obscure the passwords!!)

arjona00 · December 8, 2014

If I manualy change a battleye file, I can see wathdog sending the message in BEC console, also I think the trouble is in @epoch_hive, that cant find or modify battleye rules.

Same problem here. I use TADST to config my Server.

My Battleye path are located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\TADST\default\BattlEye

BEC works fine, but when i use any admin commands , Battleeye kick me with the restriction error.

i have updatet any Battleeye dll files with the Mod fils in the Path.

Doing something wrong?

uniflare · December 8, 2014

Use folder SC for battleye. DLL probs can't find the filters? Or check u set be path properly in server INI and battleye cfg

nedfox · December 8, 2014

Easiest way to find is to look for the *.log files.. The folder it generates the BE log files is the folder you want your BE filters in.

arjona00 · December 8, 2014

My folder generates log files.

And if I modify files manualy, watchdog tracks changes. But it don't modify publicvar file for itself, so I think admins can't perform the actions in admin menu.

Moldofe · December 8, 2014

Very not user friendly admin tools... Probably some body can make a tuto on youtube for explain clearly how install and use this essentiel admin tool.

uniflare · December 8, 2014

Check my post..

Richie · December 8, 2014

In EpochServer.ini make sure the BattlEye path is correct and that the filters are inside.

I've tested every function in the admin tool and not been kicked once.

You are listed yourselves twice. Your either need to be in the Owner array or the High Admin menu array

arjona00 · December 8, 2014

Battleye folder path is correct and filters are inside.

I probed it only in high and it didn't function.

How are the differences between owner and high menu?
