Unable to delete local Dayz server from my PC!

[SRoller22]

I managed to create my own local Dayz server on my PC, and it actually showed up the the game's server list, but I'm unable to join it because "wrong password given."

So I decided to start over...

I deleted the server files and folder entirely and then created a new server with a new name but without a password, but no matter what i do, the original server still shows up on the game's server list- but not the new one.

My IP address must be somehow permanently associated with my original server creation, (which brings to mind Frankenstein's monster, which once created lived forever!?)

Help!

Thanks

You did not need to "start over" .. you just needed to edit the ServerDZ.cfg to remove the password ...

That said, did you actually try to join the server that appears in the server list, or did you just exit when the name was wrong? (Did you use the same server name, or did you change it on the new server?)

Is the "old" server listed in white, or is it listed, but greyed out and not selectable?
-Have you checked on the LAN tab, or just the Recent tab?

I edited the ServerDZ.cfg several times, to no avail. I tried a new password, then no password at all, to no avail, which is why I finally decided to wipe the slate clean and start over.

In the game, I'd click on "Join this server" and then it would prompt me to enter the password, but it always returned the wrong password error.

The original server (Clydes server) is still showing up as a community server and it's not grayed out, even though it doesn't exist!
Nothing under LAN - tells me to check my internet connection!

Oh, and I restarted my PC several times during this process, AND i also deleted the Days Server from within Steam.

Do you mean THIS server?

Server name: Clydes Server
Address: 134.255.214.95:18000
Server version: 1.24.157448
Required game version: 1.24.0

Map: Chernarusplus
Mission: DayZ
Players: 0/4

Is that YOUR IP Address?

Is your server on a dedicated PC or is it on the same PC that you play the game on?

[_KC76_]

^^ That IP address traces back to a Nitrado server hosted in New York .. I think you are attempting to connect to someone else's "Clyde" server .. YOUR server, if you are hosting it on your own PC, would be under the LAN tab .. the Password does not work, because it is not YOUR server.

[SRoller22]

Ah, that explains a bunch... two Clyde servers.
Nothing comes up under LAN servers.
My server is on my PC, the same one I play on.
I did open both types of ports, as per instructions.
Did something wrong, apparently, but i have no idea what.

Okay, so then next .. Have you created a Start.bat Batch file? the As-downloaded DayZ Server software is incomplete. You can not start the server from Steam, instead you have to write a file to tell the server to start, and what mods to load, and then how often to restart.

[SRoller22]

Yes, I created a start.bat file and it has the server name and correct path C:\Clyde\DayZServer_x64 (as was suggested in instructions)
If this needs to be in the Steam\Dayz\DayZServer folder, I can do that, and modify the start.bat path accordingly.

[SRoller22]

@echo off
:start
::Server name
set serverName=Clyde
::Server files location
set serverLocation=”C:\Clyde\DayZServer_x64″
::Server Port
set serverPort=2302
::Server config
set serverConfig=serverDZ.cfg
::Logical CPU cores to use (Equal or less than available)
set serverCPU=4
::Sets title for terminal (DONT edit)
title %serverName% batch
::DayZServer location (DONT edit)
cd “%serverLocation%”
echo (%time%) %serverName% started.
::Launch parameters (edit end: -config=|-port=|-profiles=|-doLogs|-adminLog|-netLog|-freezeCheck|-filePatching|-BEpath=|-cpuCount=)
start “DayZ Server” /min “DayZServer_x64.exe” -config=%serverConfig% -port=2302 -profiles=Profilesfolder “-mod=” -cpuCount=%serverCPU% -dologs -adminlog -netlog -freezecheck
::Time in seconds before kill server process (14400 = 4 hours)

goto start

And I double click on the start.bat file before starting the game.

Thanks for you help, btw...

[SRoller22]

top lines in server.DZ as follows

hostname = "Clyde"; // Server name
password = "3333"; // Password to connect to the server
passwordAdmin = "3333"; // Password to become a server admin

[SRoller22]

I moved everything to the original Steam folder, just in case...

set serverLocation= "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZ\DayZServer_x64″

but still nothing shows up under the LAN tab

...I also used a new server name (and changed it in start.bat and serverDZ)

It looks like a combination of things. Lets start with File paths.

When you download and install the DayZ Server app/software it should end up in your Default Steam installation folder, like so: (your path will be different before the "steamapps" part.
"C:\_Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer" .. all your created files should be inside this DayZServer folder, like so:
"C:\_Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer\serverDZ_Vanilla_Chernarus.cfg" ..and..
"C:\_Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer\Vanilla_Chernarus_Server_Start.bat"

Your Server Start bat should look like this: (yours having the address to your installation)

@echo off
:start
::Server name (This is just for the bat file)
set serverName=Vanilla Chernarus
::Server files location
set serverLocation="C:\_Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer"
::Server Port
set serverPort=2302
::Server config
set serverConfig=serverDZ_Vanilla_Chernarus.cfg
::Logical CPU cores to use (Equal or less than available)
set serverCPU=2
::Sets title for terminal (DONT edit)
title %serverName% batch
::DayZServer location (DONT edit)
cd "%serverLocation%"
echo (%time%) %serverName% started.
::Launch parameters (edit end: -config=|-port=|-profiles=|-doLogs|-adminLog|-netLog|-freezeCheck|-filePatching|-BEpath=|-cpuCount=)
start "DayZ Server" /min "DayZServer_x64.exe" -config=%serverConfig% -port=%serverPort% "-profiles=config" "-mod=@CF;@VPPAdminTools;@ZomBerry Admin Tools;@VanillaPlusPlusMap" -cpuCount=%serverCPU% -dologs -adminlog -netlog -freezecheck
::Time in seconds before kill server process (21600 = 6 hours)
timeout 21590
taskkill /im DayZServer_x64.exe /F
::Time in seconds to wait before..
timeout 10
::Go back to the top and repeat the whole cycle again
goto start

In these examples, the important things to note are that the Installation Locations all match, and that the Names also all match .. if you want to copy these, you just need to change the Address to YOUR installation location of YOUR SteamApps folder, and the Name of your files.

Thanks, and I get all that...

Plus, I've done it both this way:

set serverLocation= ”E:\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZ\DayZServer″

and this way:

set serverLocation=”E:\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZ\DayZServer_x64″

yet it still does not appear under LAN servers

Your INSTALLATION LOCATION dictates what those file entries should be .. It is not something that you assign, or decide on your own.

Both of the lines you have above are incorrect ...
In the first one, you have your DayZServer inside your DayZ Game folder .. this is wrong location. Your DayZ server should have its own folder inside SteamApps of your Steam installation folder.

In the second one, you just randomly made up a new folder that does not contain your server files.

Neither of those will ever work.

"Your DayZ server should have its own folder inside SteamApps of your Steam installation folder."

OK, i've corrected the path as follows:

E:\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer

...but still nothing

ill try a restart...

Still no go
