August 3rd - Windows 7 Home Premium issues
There seems to be an issue regarding Windows 7 Home Premium not running the batch files correctly. I will look into this later today hopefully finding a proper solution. If you got Win7 HP and experience the issues -> I am sorry, but you won't be able to run the server unless you know how to edit/change those batch files.

July 30th - Hotfix #1 for v2.2 released

July 29th - ServerPack v2.2 Full/Update (DayZ 1.7.2.4) released

July 23rd - Rocket comments on the latest community reactions
A very good write-up on the latest community reactions. Worth reading. -link-

July 17th - Current issues with saving tents, backpack and items
Latest release of hiveext.dll has (again/still) issues with properly saving changes. I'll try to find a workaround, but still it's up to Rocket to get his junk straight.

July 15th - ServerPack v2.1 (DayZ 1.7.2.3) released
MySQL port changed to 3316! Remember this when using Navicat/MySQL Workbench/Heidi SQL/...

July 7th - Bad news
I'll be off to field work for the entire next week. I may be able to check the forum and do a bit database related stuff, but everything that requires ArmA 2 itself will have to wait.
Sorry

July 5th - Database v1.2.1 Update ERROR and #FIXED
The batch file used to start the update contained an error. I fixed it and the pack is back up again. Sorry guys for this mishap :/

July 5th - Database v1.2.1 Update released

July 4th - a little something
I decided to set up a TS3 server to have a place for you guys to go to. It only has 32 slots though, because TeamSpeak Systems GmbH made it even harder to get a free, non-profit license.

Address: tbts3.dyndns.org

Server Pack v2.0 is up!
But as i made lots of changes to both the server pack and the database, it became nearly impossible to create a reliable update pack
So, sadly, there won't be a database update this time.

FAQ



Q: Help! I cannot get it to work!
A:
Make sure MySQL and the ArmA 2 server are running
Make sure you haven't tried to update the server to a newer beta patch version
Make sure you moved ArmA 2\AddOns folder into your ArmA 2 OA folder, if you bought the game on Steam
Make sure to start the game using \arma2oa.exe and not \Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe
Make sure your game client is using the same beta patch version the server uses


Q: Do vehicles and tents work?
A: Yes


Q: Loot and zombies are being spawned too scarcely. Can you fix it?
A: Loot and zombies are spawned by the mod itself according to how many players are on the server. Get more players, and you will be fine.


Q: I want to spawn more vehicles than default 11. How do i do this?
A: You have to edit a procedure called "pMain" which can be found in the database. There ia a variables that controls the amount of vehicles. There's also a limit per vehicle class inside table object_classes (column: MaxNum) which you have to edit, too.


Q: How do I change starting items?
I do not want to discuss this - not personally and not on the thread. This server pack is intended to be "true to original DayZ". If you want to change any content, start a thread on your own or try to take part in an already ongoing discussion about this,


Q: My server shows up on LAN games list, but not on internet games list
A: Edit server.cfg and change the following lines accordingly

Quote

From this:
//reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com"; // For Arma2: Operation Arrowhead
reportingIP = "0.0.0.0";

To this:
reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com"; // For Arma2: Operation Arrowhead
//reportingIP = "0.0.0.0";

Also join your server once using LAN games list. This will make it show up on internet games list aswell.


Q: I cannot join my server due to 'Bad CD Keµ: Invalid CD Keµ'
A: You are using a non-legit copy of ArmA 2 OA. If you want to play, you'll have to wait until "special" server files are available or you might just buy the game.




outdated FAQ

Spoiler

Q: This server is running an incorrect version of server side application.
A: 99.9% chance the server is not able to access the database. 0.1% chance you're running different mod versions.
Please make sure you completed steps 5 and following successfully.


Q: Navicat gives me the error: 2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on '184.85.33.66' (10060)
A: MySQL is either not running at all, or you forgot to assign the IP 184.85.33.66 to your local NIC.
Please make sure you completed steps 5 and following successfully.


Q: I am stuck at 'Loading'
A: Make sure you installed the latest ArmA 2 beta patch (at least .93965). Also check your game version in the main menu (lower right corner) to ensure the patch is being use. Repeat steps 1 and 2.


Q: I am stuck at 'Creating Character'
A: - still needs to be solved -


Q: I only have one NIC and it's IP address must remain dynamic (DHCP). What else can i do?
A: You may install a virtual NIC called "Microsoft Loopback Adapter". Here you can find HowTos for XP and 7

Do you still think the server error I am getting is related to HIVE ??

Everything else has been successful, all updates, I can still play online DayZ.

still get "The Server is running an incorrect version...." i know its because of te ip adress, but my Pc gets anaoutomatic ip adress of my router, i cant change the router setting either since it just kills my internet then.

is there any other way of solving this? editing hive.dll to 127.00.00.01 doesnt work too.

pls help me.

[findonovan95]

The problem I'm having is that my server isn't showing up among the public servers. It's only showing up as a LAN server. Any idea what I've done wrong?

It's working fine apart from this one thing.

It's because you are blocking ip for "reportingIP" in config file.
