Seeing the many possibilities which a new map such as Malden can offer we here at GOAT have launched the very first Exile server for the map to mark our return to the Exile hosting scene. At GOAT we have customised our servers to the max, while retaining the survival aspect of Exile. Unlike many other customised servers who give many “benefits” to their players, such as very high start cash amounts and low shop prices among other things, we have chosen not to do such things as we believe having a customised server does not mean we need to compromise on gameplay experience. That being said, we have an extremely friendly group of admins, of whom one is always available on the server or our discord if you ever encounter any issues or just want to ask a question. Furthermore, we run events every second day on our servers, EU and NA, which vary from plane races to Pawnee death matches to actual death matches in purpose built arenas. Some of our 25+ scripts include: Ai Missions, Customised Traders, Spawn Bike, A wide range of XM8 Apps, A way to mute ambient sounds, Grinding And Hacking and capture points. The reason for choosing this combination is simple, Quality. Niarms, for example, is praised widely for its accurate ballistics modelling along with great sounds and weapon quality while MAS Vehicles takes the best vehicles from ARMA 2 and makes them even better, updating them to ARMA 3 standards and beyond.

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on how I would go about disabling the kick message that appears when a player tries to connect but is kicked off because the server has reached it's non reserved slot limit. Just to clarify, this isn't the message that is displayed to a single player when they connect but instead the message that is broadcast over server chat, spamming it so players can't see other's messages. Thanks for any help

Hello, I'm looking at renting a new server from ovh(the best value for money hosting company I found) and have a choice between a 20 core xeon which runs at 2.6ghz and a 4 core i7 which runs at 4.7ghz. Before everyone jumps on the more ghz is better bandwagon I did some tests and found that when I gave my server more cores 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 and then used the HT cores on my current box the server FPS increased by around 3.5 for each core I gave it. The server uses all the CPU resources I throw at it because it is full pop. This seems to fly in the face of all that I have read about arms only using at Max 2 cores and never more than 4 so I am now tempted by the 20 core. Why is this so? Would it make more sense to go with the 20 core and offset the speed drop with more cores?

Ok, Points noted! I'll take a look at meld. Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, I take your point, but what for example if one is at work, or if they are out when the update is released, it would be a much smoother experience for their server's player base and create less stress for the server owner. For example, when a new operating system comes out the developers of said operating system give developers access to development tools so they can develop for that release before it comes out. If it works in that instance, why wouldn't it work for exile. I am guessing that the server file would be worked on until the last minute but is the mission file? If that is the case would it be possible to release one ahead of the other, as most scripts only require changes to the mission file. Furthermore, it took me about 3 hours to update last time exile updated but this time I am anticipating a time of around double that owing to the changes I have made since then, and if for example I am out at any point this weekend for a few hours, then the server upgrade process will be delayed even further. To the exile devs - do what you like, i'm not demanding any changes, i'm just expressing what i believe would be best for the community.

I believe what this person is asking for is for the mission file to be released ahead of time. If that is the case then server owners could add scripts to their mission file, saving a separate copy of the file at the time so immediate testing isn't needed. Like him I do think this would be very useful.

The only issue is that my current server is an i7 4790k and the servers use up 100% CPU so was hesitant to just give it the 6700k with a higher clock speed as I'm not sure it would make much difference.

The issue is, what high end CPU to use, the one with loads more cores or the very high ghz one which I spoke about at the start.

Hello, i just updated my server to the new exile version, everything else works but all players are put in to one big group it seems when they join. This means there are constant radio messages over chat and everyone can see each other's player markers. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you would like to see any files to check stuff over just say. A temporary fix i have discovered is if that player creates their own party. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I recently set up an exile server but now when logging on to it some players have map markers while others don't. I have been able to figure out that when this issue happens in the top right the marker type selection thing while on the map screen when placing a marker says "disabled by server" but that's all I've managed so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Another piece of information is that i'm running the tanoa map on my server. Here's the rpt:

Hi, i tried to install this on my server and got the following error in the rpt No player found for channel 463863936 - message ignored No player found for channel 463864000 - message ignored No player found for channel 463864064 - message ignored c:\w\dev\futura\lib\network\networkserver.cpp ClearNetServer:NOT IMPLEMENTED - briefing!

What happens is when i try to join the server i get immediately booted off it before getting to lobby, i tried to connect three times, which can be seen in the "no player found" lines above. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I'm in the process of setting up an exile server and now when i try to log in i get stuck with Cannot Load Mission infront of me and can't click close all. Here is the RPT: I've checked through it myself and can't seem to find whats wrong. http://pastebin.com/urZZtVKh Thanks in advance for any help.

You've done a great job with this script and i love it, the only problem is that there is no klen traders for me and i'm struggling to put them in through the editor myself, I was wondering if i was doing something wrong or there are infact no klen trader objects in that script.

Adec, how did you fix your problem, I've got the same one now
