Hello, we are seeking paid help in getting our old Exile server back up and running. I ran a considerably popular server titled iBB Exile Dariyah on the map G.O.S. Dariyah (pja307) which reached GameTracker rank 52 for a short period before hitting a rough patch post Arma 3 update which broke Exile mod for all servers for a few days. We had the issue repaired fairly quickly but we eventually chose to take it down after the population didn't rebound as quickly as anticipated, combined with a lack of funds for our top quality hosting package. Thankfully I can now afford to fund the server much easier than in the past, however the flip side is that of course I no longer have the same amount of free time I had before, hence, the help wanted ad. When we went offline I received daily messages regarding the server status, followed by begging for it's revival. We have now been offline for 10 months and I am still receiving inquires on a regular basis, albeit much less frequently than before. In our prime I was considered to be the most helpful in-game admin most users had ever seen, and as a result I still maintain a Steam Friends list of ~240 users of our server from when it was online. This is a direct connection to many of the most prevalent players of our server who are simply one message away from being a part of our population once again. Currently our team consists of myself, a close friend operating as system admin, and an advisor with an immense knowledge of Arma. Historically, I have handled all of the menial tasks such as configuration of the trader lists, missions/AI, loot tables, etc., as well as in-game administration, and media/advertising of the server by way of YouTube videos. Our system admin is highly skilled and our server was an excellent testament to his ability - it ran flawlessly - however he has limited experience with Arma, so digging into game specific issues like glitches or bugs was time consuming for him. Our advisor also handled some other things that were above my head such as the layout of the traders/other custom additions to the map and I would like to have someone familiar with this type of work as well. The other issue we had in the past was keeping up to date with mods (we ran 11) when they released updates, so we'd like to explore ways in which to streamline that process - I also have difficulty understanding BE filters which I believe need to be updated manually each time. We do still have all the files from our previous venture, so the work involved in the initial setup of the server will be minimal. What we're looking for is someone to help fill our gaps in knowledge, time, and availability in terms of time sensitive matters such as updates and the like. We are looking for a long-term, ongoing partnership. For more information on the server please visit www.ibb.enjin.com Thank you Edit: We also plan to do a fairly drastic reconfiguration of the server, so if what you see on the website isn't exactly what you're in to, please inquire regardless.

Just checked it over a 4th time and couldn't find anything out of place. I also notice that I don't get a status message after I die (WRECKED, STOMPED, etc.), nor does my screen get dark, only blurry.

Can confirm. Server runs with Enigma enabled, gives players option to revive, but doesn't actually do anything.

We've had a good amount of traffic over the last few days and have not heard of any issues with VG. Just tested it myself and was able to store and retrieve my vehicle with no issues at all.

I looked into trying this but it seemed like it was more complicated than just pasting the contents of one into the other, and I'm in well over my head here.

Thank you! This has got me part of the way there. I now have the hack options for both safes, and garages, however once it's started it is un-interruptable. It also doesn't begin the timer, and will never actually complete. Looked through the logs but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Anyone else's EXAD Safe Hack and vGarage Hack not working? I no longer get a scroll wheel option to hack either of them.

In order to fix my server since the Arma update I've had to replace my ExileClient_object_player_death_startBleedingOut.sqf. Is this the end of Enigma Revive? Any plans to rework it? Or shall we wait and see what happens? In my opinion this is one of the best and most highly sought after server features and we really do appreciate your work. Thank you.

The fix for this can be found here. Has anyone else noticed the inability to hack safes? I've lost the "hack" option entirely on our server. Same goes for the vGarage hack.

What an oddly specific post to copy. I wrote this months ago. You're having the exact same issue?

Thank you man. This just seems a bit more complicated than what I was looking for. All I'm trying to do is modify the previous version that was posted in order to allow the player to control their perspective while inside a vehicle, while in combat, and not be locked to either perspective.

I'd like to start by saying thanks to everyone here for their work. I have this implemented and working on my server and it's very slick. I've made some easy tweaks to it but I'm wondering if someone smarter than me would mind helping me customize it a little further. I love the way it functions, the only issue is that driving in 1PP on our server is very difficult. Could it be configured to always allow 3PP when inside a vic, regardless of combat or any other circumstance?

We are the first server to incorporate Exile mod into G.O.S. Dariyah, by painstakingly adding every feature that would otherwise be missing such as loot spawns, choppable trees, trader zones, water sources and fuel sources, and much more. We are very pleased with the results, and we're sure you'll agree. G.O.S. Dariyah offers exceptionally high client-side frames per second (FPS). If you get 30 FPS on most servers, you will easily achieve 75 FPS on ours. This increase in FPS should especially interest users who are considering recording or streaming their Exile mod gameplay, as recording gameplay can be difficult for lower-end PCs. This higher available FPS will also allow you to dramatically increase your video quality settings, making your videos look even better than ever possible before. Our goal has been to create a quality Exile experience for players of all skill levels and play styles. Through a finely tuned custom AI difficulty, custom pricing system, and custom loot table and loot spawns, we have struck a balance which enables players of all gaming styles to have an enjoyable experience. These customizations combined with our selection of scripts focused on base raiding will help to ensure that there's always something fun for players to do. Not only does G.O.S. Dariyah offer long-time players of Exile a fresh experience on a new map, we believe there are many players who did not purchase the most recent Arma 3 DLC (Apex). Apex items/vehicles are enabled on our server, however Apex is not required to play on it, which ensures that any and all of your friends will be able to join you on our server if they choose. So come stake your claim in the desert, and engage in the unending battle over money and resources. Gather your breaching materials, and wage war against your enemy's bases! Gather money, and use it to patrol the desert sands in a vast selection of unarmed and armed combat vehicles. Welcome to the deserts of Dariyah.

Cen, thank you! I've implemented this on my server and it works great, however I was wondering if you could help me locate the portion of code responsible for displaying the maximum capacity of the item. My safes are still displaying the same maximum total as before, however they accept and hold about 4 times as much. I haven't been able to work out how to correct this. Thanks for any info you're able to provide.

So this security flaw in Arma 3 was uncovered a couple of days ago. For the last two days we've had someone on our server taking advantage of this flaw (confirmed in logs), however we had already followed the steps to correct it which we found in that blog post the day that it was posted, yet it hasn't seemed to have done anything. Our next step will be to configure it to ban anyone who attempts to take advantage of it - past that, I'm not sure what else to do. I've placed the following within my init.sqf execVM "custom\rgb_fix.sqf"; And I've placed the following into mpmissions\Exile.map\custom\rgb_fix.sqf { if(typename(profileNamespace getVariable [_x,0]) == typename "") then { profileNamespace setVariable [_x,0.4]; //--- BAN USER HERE }; } forEach ['igui_bcg_rgb_a','igui_bcg_rgb_r','igui_bcg_rgb_g','igui_bcg_rgb_b','IGUI_grid_mission_X','IGUI_grid_mission_Y','IGUI_grid_mission_W','IGUI_grid_mission_H']; Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Has this since been removed? I don't understand - I've checked the mission file, I've checked the exile_server_config, and I can find no such option for this. I would even be happy just being able to piggy back off of the minimumDistanceToTraderZones found in the mission file by adding my own selection of map icons to it - just can't figure out how. I have a few unsafe traders scattered around my map and I'd like to be able to prohibit building in those areas.

Played probably 30 different Exile servers without being able to find the perfect one. Don't get me wrong, most were good and some were great but even the greatest ones always had something wrong with them. Got excited for Tanoa, then frustrated with not being able get good fps on literally any server I tried. We thought we could do better so we tried, before coming to realize that it's actually the map's fault. So, we went in a completely new direction, and chose a unique map that no one has ever previously run Exile on - G.O.S Dariyah. We've been open for a couple of weeks now and things are running smooth.

We have had around 30-40 different users successfully connect to, and try out our new server, most playing for hours at a time having no issues at all. So far I have encountered 3 users who are having this issue. They get kicked for completely random signature checks against all sorts of different files - Anything from Arma 3 files to Exile mod files to any other random mod file. Sometimes it will happen immediately after login, other times they'll play for 10 minutes before it occurs. There is seemingly no rhyme or reason to it, however, it does seem that with enough attempts to reconnect and continue playing, it actually stops to occur, until the next server restart in which it returns. Now normally I would chalk this up to user error, however one of those 3 users is one of my server devs whose been dealing with it for over two weeks now. He has done everything imaginable to correct any error which could exist on his end, including a reinstallation of Arma 3 and I believe and fresh Windows install, with no luck what-so-ever. Here is an example of what's occurring. Here is a section of the RPT relating to his connection. The RPT shows some errors which occur before his connection and continue to occur afterward, so I don't think they're of any relation. They're just things like "Can't change owner from 0 to 450255740" and "Client: Local object 2:3475 not found". I do get one repeating error in the RPT, "Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. hlcweapons_g3", and the same for a lot of others such as rhsusf_c_weapons, hlcweapons_saw, cup_casigns_e, and so-on. The solution to this, I've read, is so add them all to the mission.sqm, which removes the errors but does not fix my particular issue here. I've also tried removing them from the mission.sqm to see if having them there is the cause, which it is not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm sorry, I've looked everywhere I can think of but can not find this option. Can you please tell me where I find this?

I would like to use the DMS_MinDistFromNorthBorder, SouthBorder, etc, in ZCP. I've tried setting them in DMS in hopes that it would also effect ZCP, but it doesn't - only the DMS missions. Is this possible? Thank you.

We have just launched our Exile Dariyah server and I'm interested in recruiting some help with advertisement of the server, and possibly more depending on what you may be interested in. We have a couple ideas for some video promotion directed toward my small YouTube channel of 148 subscribers, and we'll need some players to help us in-game in order to do so. Beyond that, I am open to all suggestions, as we don't have many more ideas regarding how/where to advertise it. As far as I know we are the first and only server to run Exile on G.O.S. Dariyah, so of course the map isn't very popular. However the frames per second possible on even very low-end hardware is impossible to ignore and players are very surprised when they see it. We also have an excellent selection of mods and scripts focused on base raiding, and easing the movement of loot, with things like crate loading and heli lifting. Plenty of great features that we'd like to advertise in the best way possible.

This is my config.

Yea as of right now, none of my rpt logs show any reference to R3F, but I don't understand. We seem to have done everything correctly.

This is located in my description.ext, at the bottom. Does it need to be at the top? This line is placed in my initPlayerLocal, which if I understand correctly, should work. Right? Yes, it's there. If R3F were running on the server, would it show up anywhere, for example in the rpt log?

Can't figure this out. We've followed the install instructions, we've made sure the correct vehicles and boxes are listed in the configuration, and yet we get no options for anything. No ability to tow any vehicles despite entering the driver's seat of both vehicles. No vehicle inventory option. No move crate or load crate options either. I suspect that the script is just not being executed at all but we can't figure out why.
