+BEC is available for hosting on our platform. This guide covers the basics of setting up and managing your BEC server.
+Scheduler and admin tool for ARMA series servers
- This game server can be hosted on a VPS or dedicated server. Port configuration depends on the game engine and can typically be set in the server configuration files. -
-- Refer to the official game server documentation for specific port requirements and configuration details. -
+| Supported Games: | ARMA 2, ARMA 2 OA, ARMA 2 CO, ARMA 3, DayZ Standalone |
| Platform: | Windows (64-bit) and Linux |
| RCON Protocol: | BattlEye RCON wrapper |
| Config File: | Bec.cfg (INI format) |
| Features: | Scheduler, auto-restart, admin commands, log management |
| Latest Version: | BEC 1.647+ (check GitHub releases) |
| Repository: | github.com/TheGamingChief/BattlEye-Extended-Controls |
To create a BEC server:
-After your server is created, you can configure it through the control panel:
-BEC (BattlEye Extended Controls) is a server administration tool for ARMA series games. It provides scheduled tasks, automatic restarts, admin commands, and enhanced BattlEye RCON functionality.
-Servers are automatically started after creation. You can stop/start your server from the control panel.
- -Use your server's IP address and port to connect from the game client.
- -Access your server files via FTP using the credentials provided in your control panel.
- -If you need assistance with your BEC server:
+# Download latest BEC from GitHub:
+# https://github.com/TheGamingChief/BattlEye-Extended-Controls/releases
+
+# Extract Bec.exe to your ARMA server directory

+Zombie survival mod that revolutionized the genre
2302- Note: When running on a VPS or dedicated server, you can use the default port or configure a custom port in your server configuration file. -
+| Base Game: | ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead + ARMA 2 (Combined Operations) |
| Version: | DayZ Mod 1.9.0+ (final official release) |
| Database: | MySQL/MariaDB required for character persistence |
| Server Type: | Reality build + Hive server architecture |
| Max Players: | Up to 100 (50-60 typical for performance) |
| Anti-Cheat: | BattlEye required |
| Port: | 2302 UDP (game), 2303 UDP (query) |
To create a DayZ Mod server:
-After your server is created, you can configure it through the control panel:
-DayZ Mod is the original zombie survival mod for ARMA 2 that popularized the survival genre. Players spawn on a massive map with minimal gear, scavenging for supplies while avoiding zombies and other players in a persistent open world.
-Servers are automatically started after creation. You can stop/start your server from the control panel.
- -Use your server's IP address and port to connect from the game client.
- -Access your server files via FTP using the credentials provided in your control panel.
- -If you need assistance with your DayZ Mod server:
+DayZ Mod uses a unique two-server architecture:
+# Install MariaDB
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
+
+# Secure installation
+sudo mysql_secure_installation
+
+# Start service
+sudo systemctl start mariadb
+sudo systemctl enable mariadb
+# Download MySQL Community Server from mysql.com
+# Or use XAMPP which includes MySQL
+
+# Install MySQL Server
+# Set root password during installation
+# Ensure MySQL service is running
+# Login to MySQL
+mysql -u root -p
+
+# Create database
+CREATE DATABASE dayz_epoch CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+
+# Create user with permissions
+CREATE USER 'dayz'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secure_password';
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dayz_epoch.* TO 'dayz'@'localhost';
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+
+# If Hive is on different machine
+CREATE USER 'dayz'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secure_password';
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dayz_epoch.* TO 'dayz'@'%';
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+DayZ Mod includes SQL schema files in the database folder:
+# Import the schema (adjust path to your installation)
+mysql -u root -p dayz_epoch < path/to/dayz_server/SQL/dayz_schema.sql
+
+# Or import via MySQL client
+mysql -u root -p
+USE dayz_epoch;

+DayZ Epoch Mod is available for hosting on our platform. This guide covers the basics of setting up and managing your DayZ Epoch Mod server.
+Enhanced DayZ with base building, traders, and persistent economy
2302- Note: When running on a VPS or dedicated server, you can use the default port or configure a custom port in your server configuration file. -
+| Base Requirement: | DayZ Mod 1.8.8+ (builds on DayZ) |
| Version: | Epoch 1.0.6.2+ (final stable release) |
| Database: | MySQL/MariaDB with complex schema |
| Key Features: | Base building, trader NPCs, banking, vehicle spawns |
| Variants: | Pure Epoch, Overpoch (Overwatch + Epoch) |
| Max Players: | Up to 100 (50-70 optimal) |
| Port: | 2302 UDP (game), 2303 UDP (query) |
To create a DayZ Epoch Mod server:
-DayZ Epoch is an extensive modification built on top of DayZ Mod. It adds base building with plot poles, trader NPCs with a dynamic economy, banking system, enhanced vehicles, and custom loot tables. Epoch significantly extends DayZ's survival mechanics with persistent base construction and economy management.
+ +# Install MariaDB
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
+
+# Secure installation
+sudo mysql_secure_installation
+
+# Start service
+sudo systemctl start mariadb
+sudo systemctl enable mariadb
+# Download MySQL Community Server from mysql.com
+# Or use XAMPP which includes MySQL
+
+# Install MySQL Server
+# Set root password during installation
+# Start MySQL service from Services panel
+# Login to MySQL
+mysql -u root -p
+
+# Create database
+CREATE DATABASE epoch CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+
+# Create user with permissions
+CREATE USER 'epoch'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secure_password';
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON epoch.* TO 'epoch'@'localhost';
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+
+# If Hive is on different machine
+CREATE USER 'epoch'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secure_password';
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON epoch.* TO 'epoch'@'%';
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+Epoch includes comprehensive SQL schema files:
+# Import Epoch schema (adjust path)
+mysql -u root -p epoch < path/to/epoch_server/SQL/epoch.sql
+
+# Or import via MySQL client
+mysql -u root -p
+USE epoch;
+SOURCE /path/to/epoch_server/SQL/epoch.sql;
+
+# Import additional tables if using Overpoch
+SOURCE /path/to/epoch_server/SQL/overpoch_additions.sql;
+| Table | +Purpose | +
|---|---|
character_data |
+ Player characters (inventory, position, stats, coins) | +
object_data |
+ Player-built objects (walls, floors, storage) and plot poles | +
player_data |
+ Player login tracking and stats | +
trader_data |
+ Trader inventory, prices, stock levels | +
vehicle_spawns |
+ Vehicle spawn points and configurations | +
trader_tids |
+ Trader item IDs and categories | +
player_login |
+ Player authentication and banking | +
Critical: Epoch databases grow rapidly. Regular cleanup is essential.
+# Cleanup old objects (run weekly)
+DELETE FROM object_data WHERE Datestamp < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY) AND CharacterID = 0;
+
+# Remove abandoned vehicles
+DELETE FROM object_data WHERE ObjectUID IN (
+ SELECT ObjectUID FROM object_data
+ WHERE Classname LIKE '%_DZ' AND Damage = 1
+);

+Plugin loader foundation for Source engine servers
+ +| Supported Games: | All Source engine games (CS:S, TF2, L4D, L4D2, CS:GO, DoD:S) |
| Purpose: | Plugin loader layer between game and plugins like SourceMod |
| Config Format: | VDF (Valve Data Format) files |
| Latest Version: | 1.11+ (actively maintained) |
| Website: | sourcemm.net |
| Install Order: | Metamod:Source first, then SourceMod |
| Not Compatible: | Half-Life 1 engine (use original MetaMod) |
Metamod:Source is a plugin loader and abstraction layer for Source engine dedicated servers. It sits between the game server and server plugins (like SourceMod), allowing multiple plugins to hook into game events and functions without conflicting.
+ +| Feature | +Metamod:Source | +Original MetaMod | +
|---|---|---|
| Engine | +Source (CS:S, TF2, L4D, etc.) | +GoldSrc (CS 1.6, DoD 1.3, etc.) | +
| Config Format | +VDF (.vdf files) | +INI-style (.ini files) | +
| Plugin System | +VServerPlugin interface | +DLL/SO hooking | +
| Common Plugins | +SourceMod | +AMX Mod X | +
