because they've been disabled on script

#

so means no fun

#

we have to go old school

#

which I dont mind or I dont mind renting an Arma 3 Server for my self

#

but hey

#

idk I got a life

quaint stratus
#

Back in my day we had no scripts but all the servers always had lots of people. You would struggle to find a server that had no one in it

final marsh
#

then arma 3 pub zeus went down for awhile

@gray kettle @late kayak I would like to extend an invite for you to come play a script-enabled public zeus mission with one of the many zeus' who pour heart and soul into building creative and fun experiences within the constraints of pub zeus servers. I know it's the safest and easiest solution to disable scripting outright, but give us a chance to show what pub zeus really means to us

redchain rip scripted servers

#

pls revive them 😔

late kayak
#

so you just brag about something, what might be and might not be problem (or security issue) but you don't want to reveal what you did so i can't be sure

#

so i'm left with 2 options (next to you obviously trolling) either it's issue or ain't (which it feels like it isn't)

Bring back Scripted Servers ✊ ✊✊

(despite how every time I was on pub zeus since scripts were enabled I saw nothing to indicate that they improved anything beyond people being able to barbie dress up however they wish)

ezm not work on pub zues now or something?

Search up the enhancement pack, which is literally used 9/10 on servers.

Either you never play, or only play for 2 minutes

what...

#

like deadass

#

what sense does that make

gray kettle
hybrid wagon
#

Someone did something and now the entirety of the community who plays pub zeus now can't use an item on the workshop for the game...?

#

If someone did something why not just ban them lol.

gray kettle
#

And I mean individual missions, not types of missions

hybrid wagon
#

it has a bunch of useful tools

gray kettle
#

This is also, again, irrelevant since I have not played pub zeus for like the last two years.

solid vale
hybrid wagon
#

also arsenals is a big thing too

gray kettle
#

Yeah it's a big thing in hampering a mission maker's capability to limit players in the tools they have to make missions more interesting

hybrid wagon
#

if you want a unlimited arsenal you gotta go and click every item

#

' make missions more interesting'... bro what

#

EZM isn't a bunch of preset missions or something.

gray kettle
#

Yeah, it's a toolbox

#

Like every other

hybrid wagon
#

Its a tool used to make better missions and make zeus's life easier

gray kettle
#

And tools can be used badly

hybrid wagon
#

I feel like the adverse affects outweigh the good affects of this lol

The removal of scripts gonna be taken in a negative view

I self admitted to it being so

Not really that deep bro

#

Eeeeither way, I'm disappointed to see that despite the years time Peenie still has nothing better to do than try to disrupt people's enjoyment of their limited free time

#

If it is peenie

regal cedar
gray kettle
#

I personally don't really like the idea of cycling the same mission several times over, this is kind of a side effect from how well-made scripted missions in turn use a lot of custom scripts that only help those missions in specific, BUT I'm sure your mission is great and that I'd likely enjoy it however I already play enough ArmA on the weekly.

#

I'd be far more convinced through a lot of unique, different missions all being improved through the use of scripts rather than one really good one as Northgate has already made me tired of the idea of having one really well made mission idea and endlessly cycling it rather than creating iterations

hybrid wagon
#

"I personally don't really like the idea of cycling the same mission several times over"

#

Bro

#

EZM isn't preset missions

#

ezm has nothing to do with that gang

valid opinion, but could be cool to branch out and see a (possibly) different side of the endless arma 3 experience

@late kayak is your stance of permanently removing scriptable servers final?
Or will you allow just one server to be scriptable?

#

Oh then there IS a blacklist

#

Interesting

#

He's not even lying

#

Yeah I was lied to about this then

#

Hmmm

#

I wouldn't consider this a valid excuse to disable scripts, but I can see the blacklist here in the text

#

This isn't something unremovable

#

Since it's on github and open source, you can take the code, remove the blacklist and backdoor, and repost it on the workshop

muted willow
#

This is literally all able to be disabled by the Zeus. Nothing burger

#

Especially when I've been told by EZM devs that there isn't one

#

If it bothers embedding

#

Yep

#

I'm showing that you're actually correct first

muted willow
# gray kettle Why is it there in the first place?

Debugging issues with EZM is often times impossible because users sometimes encounter issues we cannot replicate. Hence, we get a report, join their server, and start trying to debug from there. Also, as you said yourself, it can be removed in a custom version entirely if people do not trust it

EZM devs, for debugging as i said before, this is still optional.

gray kettle
#

Shouldn't it just remove the debug console so long as it isn't the zeus?

muted willow
#

Optional

gray kettle
#

I don't see the trigger that enables it

#

All I'm seeing is it being nestled within checkForCheaters

muted willow
#

No, what you downloaded from our public server is an admin menu that was developed by us that was never intended for Public Zeus. It was a hobby project. If you even try to run it in Public Zeus it will kick you for restrictions 🤷‍♂️

Sadly don't know formatting on Discord

#

The toggle doesn't actually exit with false

#

It only exits with true or true

#

Which are what the server protection script looks for

stoic stirrup
#

So what now? PubZus is stripped it's scriptable due to Backdoor found on popular Zeus script?

gray kettle
#

It would've been sooooo easy to just NOT try to implement something like this

#

But I suppose considering that Expunged and Northgate's group in general are scripter injectors themselves this was just par for the course

muted willow
# gray kettle It only exits with true or true

With all due respect, you're very clearly embellishing your skills in C if you can't tell that the function is setting a value the user selects.
missionNamespace setVariable ["MAZ_EZM_ServerProtection",(_values # 0),true]; sets the variable that toggles the server protection system on or off based on the user's input. I don't think you really understand what you're looking at, and I don't mean to fault you for that, but sometimes not speaking in ignorance is a better decision

stoic stirrup
#

Hmm saw some abuse by people using those script banning user from joining official pubzeus server with script enabled quite a while ago, it must be related to this since those banned user can't rejoin the same scripted server. and only Dwarden can issued that server ban.

muted willow
#

Regardless, the root of the issue is that "Prog" here lied about an IP vulnerability with scripts to "troll Dwarden" and get him to remove scripts from the servers. Scripted servers where by far the most popular servers online, hardly anybody played the non-scripting servers and that's for good reason. I hope, and so does the community, that this change is undone.

There's also this...

gray kettle
# muted willow With all due respect, you're very clearly embellishing your skills in C if you c...

I wouldn't say that my skills are by any means up to pace or anything in-depth, I just know how to understand code, not necessarily see its execution, and I'm taking my time ensuring that I'm actually understanding what's going on here, AND I also asked for help from somebody who knows SQF scripting FAAAAR better than I do, but there's just no disable here.
The variables used aren't set anywhere else, despite the "getVariable" being there the only use for it is being set with a default value of true.
There is ONE setVariable(already in the image), but all it does is assign it a value that does not exist(which means defaultvalue takes precedence from getVariable), so it might aswell just not be there.

#

There's only ONE way to turn it off, which is by executing code yourself to set the variable to false.

#

So unless you KNOW that you can change it independently of the UI, you could do so

#

(Luckily you guys were so kind as to make the variable public at the least, so there's that. If you did not set it public, you likely wouldn't even be able to change it through the debug console.)

muted willow
# gray kettle I wouldn't say that my skills are by any means up to pace or anything in-depth, ...

The code you posted is an execution of the function MAZ_EZM_fnc_createDialog which creates a dialog for the user with the following inputs: an array of content, code to be executed when the user selects "OK", code to be executed when the user selects "CANCEL", and arguments to both code options.

In the function you posted it creates a TOOLBOX control that allows the user to select either TRUE or FALSE. When the user makes their selection and clicks "OK" it then runs the first part of code.

In that part of code params ["_values","_args","_display"]; is defined by the dialog. The _values means the user selected values, in this case it would just be an array with one boolean value. The variable MAZ_EZM_ServerProtection is then set to that first value (the user selection) with _values # 0) which selects the first element in the array. It then displays a message dependent on the user's selection on whether the system has been enabled or disabled.

Again, I don't mean to be insulting, you just didn't understand and that's okay. However, you should not make assumptions without knowing the full details.

gray kettle
#

You say that as if the dialog presents a true or false but there is no precedence to that.

#

In the code itself, right before the toggle server protections, there is a very similar function that uses a similar procedure that actually shows it to be quite different, with each option being described and shown WITHIN the function itself

Dear @late kayak @ornate hedge,

I recently attempted to join the official Arma 3 servers but was met with a ban message displaying "WLB." I am unsure of the reason for this ban, as I do not recall engaging in any activity that would warrant such a restriction.

Could you please provide clarification on why I was banned? If this was a mistake or a misunderstanding, I would appreciate the opportunity to resolve the issue and regain access to the servers.

I sent a screenshot of the ban message for reference in ur dms dwarden since I cant send files in here. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Hello, me and my buddy just got Arma 3 and we are trying to look for servers that are good for beginners. We have looked but all we see are servers that require DLC's. Does anyone have any suggestions for servers that have a good amount of people in them that don't require DLC's?

Hi guys I have 2 questions

#

First, is it really legit when I get shot buy a tank more than 1 or 2km away while Im in a jet flying over 400km/h not in straight line ? (imo its either a cheat or an exploitation of a weaknes of the game cuz that should obviously not be possible)

#

Second, when are devs gonna fix that ABSURD glitch / misconception making UNGUIDED bombs miss their targets when those targets use smoke screen ?!?! The only thing affecting an UNguided bomg is fu*king GRAVITY ffs !! Not a stupid ass smoke screen !!! I see so many players just spending their whole game in smoke screen, behind wich they are invulnerable to any guided weapon and unguided bombs, but can still spot lock and shoot anything they whant ! Tahts so dumb.

For unguided bombs to miss due to smoke screens that is

#

I imagine some people do lower their particle setting in order to look through smoke screens but they will still be unable to lock on

never heard that smoke can change impact of unguided bomb and how do you know as enemy wether they changed location inside smoke or not? and unguided bombs have no guarantee of precision as you need to aim perfectly

If you're far away enough and the cannon can aim high enough, then yeah, it's possible

gray kettle
#

Unless you have a killcam of their exact location

hallow python
# pulsar marsh never heard that smoke can change impact of unguided bomb and how do you know as...

I know because I have a clear view from the sky and the smoke is only deploying laterally, not above so I can see the target not moving an inch. I aim through my IRST camera (wich doesnt have Ifra Red vision but lets still call it IRST) And I know I have a good precision, because every time I drop my bomb on a target that doesn't use smoke screen it hits in a five meters radius around target if I f*ck it up and more often 2 meters, so if I see my bomb hit 20+ meters away from target ONLY if they use smoke screen, I know my bomb gets deflected

hallow python
gray kettle
#

Let me reclarify: You cannot presume they are locking onto you from within the smoke screen

#

You said it yourself they are 2 kilometers away

#

What they see or can't see is highly debatable

hallow python
#

same for radar assited aiming on 40mm autocannon, it only works if targets is locked

hallow python
gray kettle
#

And you can see the AA missile being fired 2km from you, at the moment of firing, from within smoke?

This would be far more believable with some video proof

To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

I think for Life servers you need to look online a bunch

That is if you want "serious" ones

Public Life servers are very messy

Since just about anyone gets on and will start killing with no remorse

So oftentimes the "serious" Life servers will have forums or discord servers where they close off and require applications and all

and honestly its the second friend i actually try to bring over both of them are from poland and bought the game in steam poland

they have same issue one of them gave up on the game spent 100bucks to install something that didnt work now this other friend wich im talking about in the previous message has same issue and no one can explain why ? i go on bohemia discord they send me here and now its a issue with the hosts directly i didnt know poland was forbidden to play on arma servers

#

and there is no actual official info about anything

#

except people with similar issues that couldn't get any response and had to rebuy the game which i think is outrageous there is costumer support for a reason and this would be considered actual 'scam' i know its big words to use but some one should get to the bottom of this we aren't the only ones and neither will be last ,think this issue should be addressed officially by you guys or BI im a supporter of arma since the begging bought every single version of arma ever since they came out so im not just a newcomer trying to stir some bullshit i care about this game /community and its sad when i try to promote something that in the end it backfires because users pay 100+ euro and in return they cant even join one server and nobody can sort it out i also wrote @late kayak with the steam id and info to see if he could atleast check it out or give a reason for the ban if not a refund would be nice to those who spent money for nothing ...

Don't play public multiplayer until you have more experience. Usually, a good time to start multiplayer is after you finish the main (The East Wind) campaign.
By the menu do you mean the scroll menu in-world? You scroll to select an action and you press the middle mouse button or the spacebar to do the action. The main menu isn't very confusing and if you're confused just click, click, click until you ind what you want.

I realize Arma 3 is end of life, and as a business Bohemia is attempting to extract whatever residual income out of it they can. Having said that let's be practical. A lot of the offcial servers are empty, maybe 5-10 are active across all the servers. Maybe it's time to right size them, in particular the vanilla only servers can be reduced to only 1-2. The official servers that allow compositions such as player pre-made missions and zeus enhancement utilities are the only ones consistently active, but even those are only 1-2 active.

Perhaps they can extend the life of the product by allowing player made maps that have been uploaded to the workshop. I'm sure initially there will be a lot of junky maps, but with time people will make some amazing maps. I suspect regulars have gotten tired of altis, stratis, etc. Maybe some variation will help improve things.

I figured that eventually for cost cutting reasons and declining active users current active servers be reduced sooner or later, reassigned to other products. Me saying it or not. Obviously, I'm not privy to usage statistics and which servers geographically or network closest to the most active users. I'm just hopeful that the budget both in terms of cost and staff time to allow curated maps user created maps on a few pub zeus servers is feasible. My gut feeling is that would provide some variety and extend the life of the game.

#

Just make the modern creator dlcs that add to vanilla factions part of the offical server objects. Like Apex. It will fix the issue of lack of content

#

All games die eventually, but reducing servers wont fix a small playerbase. I ask to not reduce the numbers of vanilla US servers. Just get rid of the ones that arent scripted. Its nice always having an open server or two so you can run a small op with a few people. If there was only two scripted offical servers, it would drive away some Zeuses

#

But as a note not related to an opinion of any sort. Typically its one active nearly full server then one or two overflow servers. Those overflow severs typically become the main servers later into the night as people migrate, missions end

Let's talk about trolling and griefing. There are plenty of well-known trolls and griefers who regularly destroy servers by either making a game not enjoyable often with some kind of malicious script/composition. Kicking them off a server is often too late, game has already been destroyed by them.

Right now, the fun they get of destroying a game, come back tomorrow with a new player name. Privatize the penalty of it too. If we had some sort of crowd sourced tool to report trolling, maybe some back AI based tool for analysis, and start with a 7 day ban off official servers, as a "warning" then 14 day, 30 day 60 day, and so on. Make it not fun for them, and hopefully that will correct behavior or send them off to different games.

While it might be too late for arma 3 to get this ability, hopefully it can be incorporated into arma 4 or reforger.

#

And we wonder why Enhanced Zeus Modules had a blacklist incorporated into it. The issue of SQF so easily being circumvented around the BattleEye restrictions is laughable. Whether its Cheat Engine or literally using splitstring. The filters that have been setup on Offical Servers can be 100% bypassed. All without using any kind of tool or external program. SQF can be used to bypass SQF, which leads to the issue of rampant trolls/cheaters.

late kayak
#

secured zeus server wouldn't be usable for zeusing or need insane level of cfgDisabledCommands

#

already the difference is on servers w/o composition scripting and with

near arrow
#

So true it helps, and this is not me being rude but it helps reduce those who are less SQF savy from crashing or overloading servers.

#

SQF such a fun system to use and is why I keep playing. But bad actors use it easily to wreck servers by bypassing filters easily. So its not helping to stop those who are devoted to trolling

late kayak
#

anyway the playability of the less popular terrains is elevated since new editions gone live, the Gold now contain all 5+2 terrains

we don't need to cripple the servers with restricted sqf abilities, we need a way to quarantine bad behavior by taking away what they view as the fun aspect of the game

# late kayak vandalism and griefing was always as destructive to MP games as cheating

Right, but what tools do players have to deal with known vandals/briefers I'm sure you know of the scripts that delete saved loadouts off players, or the one that disables #missions and other commands and makes the screen flash different colors throws players up in the air repeatedly and spams a screaming sound. If we had a tool to report them so they get a increasingly longer ban off offcial servers, it takes away the fun of it if you can't play for increasingly longer periods.

late kayak
#

it's the unfortunate cost of allowing base and extra scripting on zeus

#

also known vandals (which can be verified) are banned

near arrow
#

A local filter would fix 90% of these issues. If someway those BattleEye filters could be enforced locally if on a Pub Zeus Offical Server

#

You want to test or learn scripting go to a private server

late kayak
#

it wouldn't because local filter is exactly what you said, local, if the player runs BE bypass he already bypassed that

#

local BE filter actually introduces insane amount of performance overhead the more lines and more rules it has per line

near arrow
#

Gotya

late kayak
#

local BE filters were already obsolete in Arma 2 it's just legacy relict before i got BE to implement the server side filters

near arrow
#

I havent played reforger. Does it have a scripting system as robust as A3's?

late kayak
#

same on the engine side it evolved from some limited attempts to remoteExec restrictions and then cfgDisabledCommands but those need serious level of work for each mission / gamemode

#

but for zeus that makes it nearly impossible due to limitless amount of uses of anything

#

so as with BE filters ... there is limit where and what can be used and deployed ...

near arrow
#

Honestly, if we had a community dlc to just expand the Zeus interfaces features. We wouldnt need a lot of scripts

late kayak
#

it's easier to make them for single fixed mission type (ie warlords or koth) than e.g. dozen coop missions with completely different scripting / functions (still doable but you would need do all dozen separately from scratch)

#

and there is no tool to 'process the mission / functions / mods related' for you and toss out 'finished rules'

brisk tulip
#

i'm suggesting we have a player reporting tool, as a player or even as zeus i might not have proof or knowledge which player did it. But if I report server was griefed, over time we can wittle it down to these 2-3 players are suspect. Either Bohemia staff or some tool can look at server logs and see the bad behavior. Ban them off official servers. Bans on private servers tend to be more permanent. But progressively longer bans on official servers wouldn't need scripting restrictions that would make pub zeus less desirable.

late kayak
#

A3 same as A2OA , A2 and A1 trust client, they were made from originally COOP MP gaming client-centrist engine, not server-centrist engine

#

so there is hard-wall how much can be protected

late kayak
#

and the more clever or subtle the cheat or vandal is the harder it gets to track anything

#

this is where server-side oriented engine has way bigger advantage, as you can log any event easily at the server and even validate (and drop whatever doesn't agree with the server received from client)

#

no more, i hit your character/vehicle on my client and it dies/explodes because my client said so

near arrow
#

Warlords has a the redux map hosted offically. Dwarden is there anything you think the community could comtribute to Zeus or other modes for their offical servers? No clue what Im asking, confused by my own question

late kayak
#

you can report vandals to me but if they leave no trace then it's sort of impossible which in the amount of random scriptcode i see uploaded to zeus servers daily makes it humanly impossible

#

i bet even LLM model would just throw fit and decide to not deal with that amount

#

same goes how i can differ valid teleport use from malicious use when the teleport (whatever setpos or attachto) is allowed on those and so on

#

it's near infinite amount of can do, could do or block

#

it's easy to block certain scriptcommands let say on warlords or koth or similar mission where you know that's never used for the mission itself

near arrow
#

Yeah I hope for Arma 4 there is a way to tag a client id to every remotexec

late kayak
#

but that's not how it works

#

i can see remote execs, but that's just tiny fraction of what can be abused

#

mpeventhandlers for example

near arrow
#

Ive seen people turn every letter I type into a pound sign. Yeah event handlers can be nasty

late kayak
#

and then even if you see the RE, they will just obsfuscate it ... now good luck to try figure out where there was previously declared setVar public or publicVariable(client/server) etc.

#

or they will hide it into markers

brisk tulip
#

Right but as a player we know that hey senior burrito just joined a server and something wonky just happened, What commands they ran we don't know. If we report server just got wonky, you guys capture a list of player ids, and record it. Next time he comes with a new player name, something wonky happens again. Over time you can eliminate which player are innocent and be left with this player id is on all servers when it went wonky. So therefore he must be the problem

near arrow
#

Yeah SQF is a nightmare and a blessing

late kayak
#

how can be you so sure ?

#

anyone clever can write script which waits onJoin event of next player and trigger it on that, hell, it could be already waiting on server and send the code to him (obfuscated) and then execute it from his client vs everyone else

near arrow
#

By the time you narrow those ids down, Arma 4 has released

late kayak
#

oh wait, that already happend more times i can count

#

so, you can't even trust in zeus that the player you have logs as 'source of bad code' is actually source of the bad code cause he can be just another victim in the well setup chain

near arrow
#

True

late kayak
#

don't get me on the times someone stored the code in the server's storage spaces and executed it each restart

brisk tulip
#

You're right process of elimination is impossible and we can't see a list of all the players that played on that server since it was restarted. Sorry my mistake.

near arrow
#

There is a menu floating around certain Zeuses use. Closed access apparentlty, one of those features is forcing people to remoteExec locally code that BattleEye kicks you for. Aka you get kicked unwillingly by someone not voted admin

#

Not very democratic of them

#

So the restirctions can be used against people. Again SQF is a nightmare

late kayak
#

ye unfortunately that's the problem with partially allowed scripting and remote code ... if they know what the kicks are happening for they can trigger the same vs someone else

#

then the only options are remove any restrictions or blocks everything

near arrow
#

Resitrctions are needed to ensure the average tom and joe doesnt run a masked troll comp from workshop

late kayak
near arrow
#

I dont know of any other game with a literal ingame command line scripting language as robust as Armas

#

it's same problem ,the moment it's allowed it will be abused ...

near arrow
#

Human nature

#

🙁

late kayak
#

and like i said, A3 and any older arma are client centric, so the clients events are sent to the server and allowed and the amount of server side BE filters is limited, it doesn't cover all global and wide events

#

in AR you already have the server centric control on way much more

near arrow
#

Age old problem of client vs server. Another game Broken Arrow launched as an RTS client side. Horrid idea, rampant mp cheating and desync

#

Thank you for hearing us out

brisk tulip
#

i personally think focusing on particular sqf commands and attempting to sort out which is bad and which is legit is like wack a mole, you'll never stop that. You can identify bad actors much more easily. And discourage them from playing with progressively longer bans. While it will not fully stop eliminate it, it will make the penalty for getting caught tougher.

#

As for the "kiosk" guy, when you first boot up ArmA it just names you after your PC's name, if you can't afford a new PC you're likely to use Nvidia's cloud gaming feature where the PC it connects to you is named by default "kiosk", hence the name.
