Establishing RCON on Arma 2 DayZmod server

Post by QuickZ »

Hello!
I just swapped from survival servers to this place. One of the reasons was that I wanted a more free way to control the Arma 2 DayZ mod-server I'm renting. I seam to have come across a lot of obstacles but one weird one I cant get past is the RCON. Its really behaving strange. It should be the easiest thing, when using BERcon everything works nicely. But when using Rcon-software like dart or EPM or Battlemetrics I cant see the playerlist. It just says the server is empty. Also I dont get the full message when people logs in. Just "player" logged in. Its extra weird since the old server I still have behaves nicely in the rcon-software's..

Having the RCon working is a crucial thing and I was wondering if you guys maybe have a clue what could be wrong.

Thanks in advance

Are you sure that the RCon tools support the ArmA2 BE RCon specifications? ArmA2 is obsolete for a long time now and no longer maintained and ArmA3 BE intergration is different compared to ArmA2. The official BERcon tool is using the ArmA2 specifications, but that might not be the case with tools written for ArmA3 BE.

Ye I'm using the tools that is working. I have my old server still alive and the tools work fine on them. Swapping over to my new own virtual dedicated server I get these problems I mentioned.

I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with my files creating a conflict somewhere. If there is some of the files that needs to be replaced/fixed. I got help with the installation of the server from a guy who mostly make servers to test his help with developing vanilla mod. He never sets up the rcon and such and we noticed that he has the same problem.

I'm close to doing a complete wipe of the harddrive and make a new installation, only using files recommended from other server-owners that actually run it to get a population going with a working rcon

Did you enable BE in your server config file and in the BE config? Please post your server config and your BE config.
