DayzHUB Authentication - Players join your Discord and link Steam before they can play

DayZ Hub · Mods

DayzHUB Authenticationv1.0.0

Server licence

Players join your Discord and link their Steam account before they can play, and your game server enforces it.

Included with your bot plan

Free with any paid DayzHUB bot plan (Plan 1 or higher; not available during the free bot trial), for your Discord server and unlimited game servers. Log in with the Discord account that owns your server to download it.

Overview

DayzHUB Authentication holds a new player until he has finished the steps you chose: accept your server rules, join your Discord and link his Steam account. Until then he is locked: he cannot move, shoot, use items or open his inventory, and he cannot hurt anyone or be hurt. The game server enforces it, so removing the mod on the client does not help. A menu opens by itself with the steps, and the player is unlocked the moment Discord confirms him.

Features

Players

A menu opens by itself with the steps: accept the server rules, join the Discord, link Steam with /link-steam (nothing is typed in the game).
The player is unlocked by himself the moment Discord confirms him.
Verified players are remembered (72 hours by default), so they are not held at every join.

Server owners

Write your own rules in game with the rules editor (up to 30). Players accept them once, and again when you change them.
A join delay so new players can look around first, an optional kick with a countdown, a staff bypass, a bypass list, and Let in and Kick for a held player.
Already have a verified role from your own earlier verification? Pick it on the dashboard: a player is verified when he is linked and holds that role. Everybody links Steam once.
If Discord or dayzhub.net cannot be reached, nobody is locked out.
An admin bar page with Status, Settings, Rules and Players, and full control from the DayzHUB Console, with locked, unlocked and kicked events in the log.

Requirements and compatibility

DayZ 1.30 stable.
Requires DayzHUB Core 1.0.8 or newer.
Included with any paid DayzHUB bot plan (Plan 1 or higher; not during the free bot trial): one Discord server and unlimited game servers, nothing to buy. Log in at dayzhub.net with the Discord account that owns your server, then download it from My mods. If your plan has ended when the game server starts, the server stops after a clear message; if it ends while the server runs, only this mod pauses. If dayzhub.net cannot be reached, your server never stops.
Client mod @DayzHUB_Authentication and server mod @DayzHUB_AuthenticationServer (server only, never give it to players).

Installation

Install DayzHUB Core first (free with any DayzHUB mod, a separate download in My mods).
Copy @DayzHUB_Authentication (client and server) and @DayzHUB_AuthenticationServer (server only, never give it to players) into your server folder.
Copy keys\DayzHUB.bikey from @DayzHUB_Authentication into your server's keys folder.
Start parameters: -mod=...;@DayzHUB_Core;@DayzHUB_Authentication and -servermod=@DayzHUB_AuthenticationServer
Licence: in My mods on dayzhub.net add your server's IP and game port. There is nothing to download or put on the server.
Admins: add your Steam64 id to <profiles>\DayzHUB\Admin\admins.json (Core writes the file on the first start).

Configuration

On dayzhub.net, open your server in the dashboard and choose Game Authentication: turn it on, create the server key (shown once), pick an existing verified role if you have one, and add your Discord invite link.
Put the server key on one line in server_key.txt on every game server.
In game, the admin bar page has Status, Settings, Rules and Players. Settings holds the join delay, the kick countdown and how long a verified player is remembered.
The Players section shows who is waiting right now and the recent events, and lets you let a player in, kick him, or keep a Steam ID on a bypass list.

Server licence

One licence per mod and per server (public IP and game port, IP:PORT). Add the server in My mods: there is no licence file to download or install. More servers cost a third of the price each. You can take a 7-day test version first (30% of the price) and upgrade later by paying only the rest. A free test server (registered with its exact name, with a password and up to 10 slots) does not count. If the licence is not valid, the mod pauses itself and your server keeps running; the server log shows a link to add the server. If our website cannot be reached, servers already confirmed keep running for up to 12 hours.
