BEC

[Cedricolp]

Hello it's me again :p, 

I need help with BEC .. so i try to make scheduler and for this i need to have BEC working on my server 

So i read some topics here , and i try dunno how much time to let him run .. no results 

Here is my Arma3server root folder

  

Like you can see , i have the battleye folder and the BEC folder , but in the TADST i have a other battleye folder (i'm using TADST to lauch the server)

in the config from the BEC folder i set the PATH to my battleye folder into the Arma3 root folder 

but nothing works.. battleye is working to conect with the Rcon but not with all the rest..

i try to lauch the BEC.EXE , i got the message "waiting for the server starting up" when the server start i got the message " Looking for a update" and then BEC disapear ..

can here someone say me the exact install guide to let work BEC with TADST and that the scheduler work to ? 

maybe i'm wrong for the install ! .. so if you guyz can show me the exact install steps i will try it again 

 

Thank you verry much all of you

[Cedricolp]

So nobody can help me for ce BEC install ? 

battleye is working i can connect with the rcon . but alle what works with BEC like scheduler / Admins ect .. is not working

When i launch the Bec.exe is wiating for a server conection

then when the server is on he is looking for update , after 1 min he just disepear ...

I dont use BEC, but if you just want to kill/restart your arma 3 task you could use a simple batch file or firedeamon.

Also you could read diag_ticktime/serverTime and popup messages whenever you want.

Oh okey , can you help me with this ? sorry i'm pretty new in this :(

[rvg?!]

I assume that you use windows for your A3 Epoch server:

Then you just create a batch file called "whateveruwant.bat" in you A3 server root directory or wherever you want, and copy and paste this in. Of course you have to edit it for your needs:

@echo off
cls

set wat=Arma3 Epoch

title %wat% Watchdog

:watchdog
echo (%time%) %wat% started.

cd E:\Games\Arma3\A3Epoch\DB
START redis-server.exe redis.conf

cd E:\Games\Arma3\A3Epoch\
start "Epoch"  /high arma3server.exe -enableHT -mod=@Epoch; -serverMod=@EpochHive; -config=E:\Games\Arma3\A3Epoch\sc\server.cfg -port=2323 -profiles=SC -cfg=E:\Games\Arma3\A3Epoch\sc\basic.cfg -name=SC -autoinit

Timeout /t 14400

taskkill /F /IM arma3server.exe

Timeout /t 5

echo (%time%) %wat% closed or crashed, restarting.
cls
goto watchdog

14400 seconds / 60  = 240 minutes / 60 = 4 hours restart cycle

[Cedricolp]

thank you verry much mate ! i will try ot now

 

[Cedricolp]

Ok just done ! it works perfectly :) thank you verry much for you help .

Cab u ask somthing else ? 

Can you maybe say me how i can make a scheduler who warn the players for a Restart  and some other message ? 

 

Very big thanks

[rvg?!]

If you have installed the statusbar then just catch when hours is 0 and minutes 30 and then you just do for example

systemChat "Server Restart in 30 minutes";

 

[Cedricolp]

Yes i have the Status bar with icons installed 

and i set this on the config from the status bar i assume ?

 

[rvg?!]

into the playerbar.sqf

 

[Cedricolp]

OK, 

i think i'm wrong but, where can i put what you write before ? 

i didn't see the countdown

Realy sorry for the disturb

[rvg?!]

there is no ready "countdown" you have to add it by yourself.

	if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 30) then {};

 

[Cedricolp]

Realy sorry :) i'm begining with this 

i ask so much but i need to learn .. can you show me where i put it exactly ? 

You help me so much a big thanks to you realy

[rvg?!]

after that line:

_players = (count playableUnits -1);

 

[Cedricolp]

Like this ? 

        _players = (count playableUnits -1);
        if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 30) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 30 minutes"};

 

:(

[rvg?!]

almost right.

but now you spam your systemchat for 60 seconds. So you either need to catch the seconds or another variable which you set to true after the execute.

 

[Cedricolp]

Oh 

Can i do this ? 

_players = (count playableUnits -1);

 if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 30) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 30 minutes"};

if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 20) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 20 minutes"};

if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 10) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 10 minutes"};

if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 05) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 5 minutes"};

if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 01) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 1 minutes"};

 

and what i need to do that the message juste show it 1 time and not every 60 second like you say ?

 

[rvg?!]

minutes with "0" in front of doesnt work. it counts as a single number and gets modified after.

so single digit is needed for the number 05 and 01.

 

 

[Cedricolp]

Ok like this then ! 

Spoiler

_players = (count playableUnits -1);

 if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 30) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 30 minutes"};

if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 20) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 20 minutes"};

if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 10) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 10 minutes"};

if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 5) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 5 minutes"};

if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 1) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 1 minute"};

And now the repeat time ... i never did this before

so after if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 1) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 1 minute"},1,true; ???

to repeat 1 time ?

 

 

[rvg?!]

set a variable (for example _thirtyminutes) in the init of the statusbar scripts to false.

after you execute the command set it true. of course  you have to check this aswell in the ifminutes reached line.

 

[Cedricolp]

It's a bit dificult for a newbi like me :) you are my jedi :)

so for the playestatusbat its ok like this

Spoiler

        if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 30) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 30 minutes"};
        if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 20) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 20 minutes"};
        if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 10) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 10 minutes"};
        if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 5) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 5 minutes"};
        if (_hours == 0 && _minutes == 1) then {systemChat "Server Restart in 1 minutes"};

Now i need to go into the init.statusbar.sqf to set a variable for the repeat message ? 

Spoiler

waitUntil {!isNuLL(uiNameSpace getVariable ["EPOCH_loadingScreen",displayNull])};
waitUntil {isNuLL(uiNameSpace getVariable ["EPOCH_loadingScreen",displayNull])};
waitUntil {!isNull player};
waitUntil {!(isNull (findDisplay 46))};

//Status Bar Config and Startup Options

//Choose Options
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------        
_WSC = false;  //Option whether to use and display world space coords in the admin status bar (true or false)

_sb_admin_list = ["76561197981218019","76561198093587690","76561198180739080"];    
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//Start the Status Bar
    
if ((getPlayerUID player) in _sb_admin_list) then  //admins id here
{ 
    if (_WSC) then
    {
        [] execVM "addons\status_bar\adminbar_ws.sqf";
    }
    else
    {
        [] execVM "addons\status_bar\adminbar.sqf";
    };
} 
else 
{
    [] execVM "addons\status_bar\PlayerBar.sqf";
};

Thats my init , where can i put it and can you pleas say me if i'm good for the moment ? 

and can you give me the variable to set ? 

like i say i learn a bit with you now and i will thank you for this again !

well, you just name the variable by yourself.

if you define them in the init_statusbar they have to be global or you need to execvm the playerbar with the variables you defined

for example [_halfanhour] execvm "playerbar.sqf";

Sorry for the late answere..  I falling asleep..  

So, im sorry but I'm really booby in this 

[_halfanhour] execvm "playerbar.sqf"; is this the real code for the 30 min repeat message ? 

Sorry if I disturbe you..  

Can you say me if I'm wrong in the first code statusbar.sqf..  The code like this will work ?

And if you can help me for the ini repeat message so I can save this and try it.. 

Really sorry about that.. But you help me so much.

i gave you everything what you need but i dont write the code for you as i did already for the batch file.

Search the web how to init a arma3 variable and the dif between local and global variables. There are a lot of tutorials.

It will help you to understand those things.
