Now running Wasteland Mod as a limited time event (just shaking things up since people seem to be getting bored with DayZ)... Server Name: Ponyville.net 404Wasteland Server (v2.9b/build 102591) | HFBServers.com Wasteland Mod: 2.9b Beta: 102591 IP: 23.29.119.162 Port: 2342 Slots: 50

We will be running an open Wastelands mod event starting tomorrow night and continuing for a few days... Anyone interested can find out more at http://forum.ponyville.net/index.php?/forum/45-dayz/

We've been doing reasonably well... Since the addition of the whitelist, we've had no real script kiddie attacks... We had two users when the whitelist first was implemented that were using overlays, but BattlEye global banned them pretty quick... Since, no major issues... We maintain a good number of players while avoiding being over crowded... Been doing a few small tweaks here and there to the server to try to enhance the experience, but nothing major or game changing...

Updated the server and running Chernarus rmod... For continual updates, check http://forum.ponyville.net/index.php?/topic/2565-current-server-version/page-3 Ponyville.net Day Z Server (v1.7.5.1/build 101480) [REGULAR|3DP:ON|CH:ON][GMT-8] | HFBServers.com Day Z - 1.7.5.1 Beta - 101480 IP: 23.29.119.162 Port: 2342 Slots: 50

Item drop rates and items spawned I think also fall under that...

For the purpose of DayZ, you might find this list a little more helpful... It includes what is naturally spawnable (and what is not, but not banned) in DayZ specifically, since you may find a lot of the weapons and stuff from the full Arma2 list from Allie's links banned... http://www.tunngle.net/community/topic/83421-dayz-big-vehicleweaponmisc-classname-list/

http://opendayz.net/index.php?forums/Bliss-DayZ-Private-Server/ This should help you in the right direction... Lots of different guides and tutorials as to how to go about implementing this list, but I can tell you outright, unless you're willing to unpack and modify the pbo, changing the spawn rates for items may not be possible (then again, maybe there is a work around)...

I agree... I can't tell you how many players think I can just magically spawn them vehicles :\ I also think that is why private hive servers were getting hit harder it seems than public hive servers (I've had both, and the number of hacking related incidents against my private hive have been significantly higher than those of my previous public hive server), people think that because it's not attached to the public hive, it isn't still monitored by BattlEye (which was dead wrong)... Admins that do abuse their rights (by say, turning off BattlEye and using hacks) give a bad image to those that try to be honest and run a legit server...

If he is a server admin, then no, it's not a "how to script" thread... It's just a general (and honest) server administration question... Understand what a person is asking before making assumptions... This was one of the first mods made to my server, was adding a wider variety of vehicles on the server (to include the police car)... In order to make any modifications to the vehicle tables, you will need access to the MySQL tables (which is available with most of the better private hive server options)... The guide is posted below... http://opendayz.net/...-chernarus.581/ Opendayz forums are an excellent source of information on how to go about modifying your server to suit your tastes and make it a little more unique (but then again, some would argue that with the popularity of modifying servers, that it is not that unique anymore, lol)... Another additional resource is here, because without modifying the pbo to allow banned vehicles, you're restricted to what is currently unbanned... There is still a reasonable number of vehicles that are unbanned, yet not present in the game... Here is a list for that as well (you would add them exactly as you would the police car... In fact, I just took some of the police car spawn points that were included with the above tutorial, and divided them up between all the new cars that I implemented)... http://www.tunngle.n...classname-list/ The list shows what naturally spawns and what doesnt, but isn't banned by the mod (which means, it can be added in the same way the police car is)... Bear in mind though, this list is a little old, some may have been banned since (like the A-10) and it will not spawn, even if you add it in... Also, with the release of the Mi17, the Little Bird, and the AN2, there is a different name for these, but you can find the names under the changelog for 1.7.4.4 (first three entries) http://www.dayzwiki....version_1.7.4.4 Hope this helps you out... I'm not the best at these things, but if you need any help, I can offer what little I've learned through trial and error... Just send me a message or something... CPL

As a private hive admin, no... There is no tools for us to spawn vehicles in game... We can modify the database (if, depending on the private hive server option, we have access to the MySQL database), but most changes there require a restart to the server (only exception is modifying player gear and location, you can change those and have them take effect as long as the player logs out first)... If an "admin" is spawning vehicles in game, then they are using hacks and unless they turned off BattlEye, they will get caught and banned (one of my previous moderators got global banned for this, not spawning vehicles, but using overlays and spawning gear in game)... So to reiterate, no... There is no legit way to dynamically spawn vehicles or gear in game...

It's true, it seems a lot server admins go overboard with the customizations... My private servers has a few, but mostly just to add a little more variety... The only modifications I made was adding a little more variety to the vehicles that show up on the map (extra models of the Volha and the Lada, police care and the AN2)... I also added additional vehicle spawn points, since the majority of the vehicles were concentrated along the coast line to encourage people to move inland to search for vehicles... That and a whitelist, to cut back on the number of hackers we were experiencing, but we maintain a regular population of 15 to 25 players a night (online at once, that is)... I don't really see what else would be needed, aside from small tweaks that would offer more of a (balanced mind you) variety of weaponry...

I have been using HFB Servers for a good long while now, going from the public hive, to private, to private plus, and now finally to the package plus server options... In all the time that I have had them, none of my issues took longer than a few hours to resolve... Most of the time the "stuck" start and stop features actually have to do with the additional programs hanging (such as antihax) and isn't really related to the server host themselves, just software not playing nice together... Out of all the server hosts, HFB has proven the most reliable, the best priced, and with customer service that is fast, courteous, and professional...

http://battleye.com/support.html Go there, read the information they require and then email them... Global bans can only be handled through BattlEye...

There is no reason why you cannot still play on it if you would like... Also, bump for upgrade... We migrated today from the Private Plus server option offered through HFBServers to the Package Plus server option. Private Hive server - Ponyville.net Day Z Server (v1.7.4.4/build 99515) [REGULAR|3DP:ON|CH:ON][GMT-8] Day Z - 1.7.4.4 Beta - 99515 IP: 192.211.54.198 Port: 2452 Slots: 50 Change log: Upgraded the private server from Private Plus server to Package Plus server. New features: Battleye Extended Controls (BEC) DayZ Antihax Easy One Click buttons on the cp homepage that can be used to do the following Spawn Vehicles Remove Vehicles Remove Barbed Wire Remove Bear Traps Remove Sand Bags Remove Tank Traps Remove Tents And Remove Everything at once You also get the easy to use change all Configs feature The Easy to use Universal Timezone editor The Easy to use Load Out Editor for basic loadouts And of course the ability to choose the max amount of vehicles you want. In addition to these new features, we will still have the same support with full FTP access, Bliss Hive MySQL access (allowing for the custom vehicle spawns as before), passwording/locking, as well as support for Gotcha AntiHack which will be used to ensure that no spawned weapons are being utilized.

According to Bohemia Interactive, they disabled the ban features for the built in administrator functions because they were worried it was going to be abused by hackers. The same, I believe, for the BE RCon tool. I have not had to try it, but I believe as Ophen72 has said, DaRT should be able to fill this gap (thankfully). Other than that, it's the old add the GUID to the bans.txt file. Anyways, hope this helped with your problem... CPL
