We need to be able to ban and kick, for obvious reasons.

We also have a Teamspeak server : Falconservers.teamspeak3.com

Where did you get your files.
I can try and set a server up and see if I can get it working.

Hi, thanks for the reply! we got our files from steam.

BattleEye is independent of mod or world island. Either your config is not correct, or you are using the wrong config file would be my first guess. Make sure that you enable BattlEye in your server.cfg by setting

Code: Select all

BattlEye = 1;

Also check which BattlEye config file you are using, BattlEye automatically rename a running config file. Check if BE is not using the config file from your Document/User folder by default.

I have made sure to check the first part of your post, we will check the second half and have another go! thanks very much!

We cannot ban anyone on our server! we have over 30 people now and our getting very good popularity, we need help please!

Sorry, but what exactly is your problem? Is the BE server not working, what tool are you using to connect to the BE server, are you using/not using the correct commands?

First, try to verify if your BE server is working correctly, as I suggested in my first post. Also make sure that you are using a valid config file, which contains at least the following lines:

RConPassword YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE
MaxPing 250

and should be called BEServer.cfg. Place this file in your BattlEye folder under Expansion, or wherever your BE server folder is located. A running BE server will autmaticall rename this file to something like BEServer_active......cfg

Second, try using a Rcon tool to connect to the BE server, for example: http://www.battleye.com/downloads/BERCon.exe or http://battlewarden.net/

[reece_vinyard]

We simply get the error "could not connect to the server"

[Edge100x]

Right, but how do you have it set up right now?

Where did you put the Battleye files?
Are you running the latest BE files for the specific version of the game you are running (ArmA2 / ArmA2:OA), downloaded from the BE website?
What did you put in your beserver.cfg?
What did you put in your server.cfg?
Is beserver.cfg being renamed by the server after it starts?
What BE-related messages do you see in your RPT file after the server has been started?

[reece_vinyard]

I put them into the correct folder
We are using the files we received from steam, so yeah?
BEserver.cfg we put in our password and max ping
server.cfg has BattlEye=1;
Nope
Nothing in the RPt regarding battleye

[Edge100x]

I put them into the correct folder

It's a common mistake to put them in the wrong folder and think it's the right one, which is why I need (and asked for) the actual folder that you used. We'll need to know the game directory that you used as well.

That's not the BE website. You should update from the BE website.

BEserver.cfg we put in our password and max ping

We need to see the actual lines to check them.

Nope
Nothing in the RPt regarding battleye

This means you either put Battleye in the wrong place or the server.cfg is not being run.

Haven't been able to find the files on Steam.

If you start your server using a .bat file, when the server starts up, it will open a pop up console. In the first couple of lines, you should see something like:

Code: Select all

20:49:41 Dedicated host created.
20:49:42 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.175)
20:49:42 Host identity created.

This will confirm that your Battleye has correctly started up.

Now if you use a tool like BerCon, and try to connect, you need the ip, port and Battleye password. If that fails to connect, I would think it's not reading the correct battleye.cfg and it might be located somewhere else.

You can also add your Battleye location in your commandline to direct the server where to look.

I used it on a server in the past, but not sure which one, or where I used it.

But I think you can add in the command line:

Code: Select all

-bepath=YOURBELOCATION

[.=QUACK=.Major.Pain]

And as Edge mentioned, please post your entire command line so we can see if there is anything incorrect.

If your not seeing the Battleye initialize like I posted just above, then it would lead me to think that your server.cfg isn't being used. You could confirm it;s being used, if the server name changes to what you set it for.

AS you guys have said, Server config was NOT being used, I followed your instructions and managed to figure it out, thanks so much for your help.

As stated before, we now have a well administrated Arma 2 island life server, hitting almost most capacity at peak times, come and give us a look!
