Steak and Potatoes replied to warmonger917's topic in Clan / Group Recruitment
What is the age group you are looking for? 20+ 25+? I play often with a few older guys and they have a really good group called the average joes. -

Player named Server
Steak and Potatoes replied to SaraMichelle's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I've seen similar and agree names like that raise eyebrows. I remember way back when I was on a public US server and a guy named Teamspeak entered the server within 3 mins everyone was falling out of the sky. -
Need help from Server Admins
Steak and Potatoes replied to [email protected]'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Here is a step by step from DOC Object_data is used for adding vehicles, tents, traps etc into the game world and saving their location. However, it doesn't matter what the class name of the object being added is - they are all the same whether they are Bicycles or Military Hangars. STEP ONE: Location of your object You first need to get a location of where you want to put your object, roughly. Do this by standing in the spot you want and opening your character_data table in Navicat or similar and grabbing the worldposition of your character. If your table was already open, you can just refresh the table to get your latest coordinates. It will look something like this: [ppp,[xxxx,yyyy,zzz]] The numbers are represented as follows: p = compass direction you are facing x = position on X axis from WESTERN side of map y = position on Y axis from SOUTHERN side of map z = height The positions are in meters, so you can use that to fine-tune your building location later on. STEP TWO: Add a new column to object_data This is an optional, but highly recommended step. It basically adds a bypass filter so your objects are not counted as vehicles by fGetVehCount. Add the column "Landmark" to `object_data` as a TINYINT(1) data type. DEFAULT 0 Now edit fGetVehCount and replace it with this: STEP THREE: Finding the classname of your desired object Simple, just find it here (click me!) Some objects and vehicles are banned, obviously. DayZ buildings spawn zeds, so becareful if using one when building a base. STEP FOUR: Adding object into object_data Now you need to add a new entry to object_data for your building. For each data column: ObjectID = carry on from your last highest ObjectID if it did not autoincrement itself ObjectUID = A unique numerical ID for your building. I just give mine a prefix, eg 123 and then start counting after. ie 123001,123002 etc. Instance = Same as your server instance, this is probably 1. Classname = Class name of building you found in step three Damage = 0 CharacterID = 0 Worldspace = The position you gathered earlier Inventory = [] Hitpoints = [] Fuel = 0 Datestamp = the current datestamp (in navicat, double click on box and press green arrow) It is VERY important that the irrelevant boxes (ie fuel etc) have the values specified, otherwise it will cause your server to crash. If you added an object which has carrying capacity, IE an ammo box, you can set it's inventory the same way as you do a vehicle etc. For example: [[[],[]],[["ItemJerrycan"],[10]],[[],[]]] FYI: [[[guns-and-tools],[quantity]],[[items-and-ammo],[quantity]],[[backpacks],[quantity]]] STEP FIVE: Saving and restarting the server Now you have added your data to the table, save the table and restart your server. Remember to move your character out of the way first so you are not crushed! (I learnt the hard way...). Restart your server (using #restart is sufficient) -
OP keep your head up, alot of us in the community have experienced similar instances in the past as you have displayed here. With that being said alot of players have moved to servers they have researched and know are secure to protect their characters. While it is unfortunate this happened to you and it can be a huge turn off for your first few months in game use it as ingame experience to help you in the future. I would highly suggest going through here http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/64-private-hive-discussion/ and trying to find a server that is both close to you and offers good support to ensure things like this dont happen to you again. I wish you better luck in the future with your dayz endeavours and dont take majority of the posts before me to harsh. It comes from alot of members 1. having experienced this already and 2. viewing many threads based around the same topic. Have fun and dont give up on dayz yet it can only get better.

Was it Warchief? He is pretty spot on with times the longest I waited was about 15 mins this also happens right after a death so I suggest avoiding firefights. -
