i'm currently playing around with the map editor to see if i could add custom buildings and objects, such as new buildings in the middle of nowhere or additional wrecks and street objects, and most of all: dead bodies hanging from nooses (< love that :) however, i can't seem to find actual buildings in the in-game map editor, just small bunkers, fortifications and other smaller items. I also have little knowledge on how i would be able to import the new objects onto a private server. Does anyone have any ideas?

We warmly welcome you to our Monitored Private Hive Start your new character on our community hive. Accounts save across all our servers and is handled professionally by an experienced team of our age-old gaming community which is established in several other games such as Minecraft, BF3, and San Andreas Multiplayer.

As promised, we have now implemented base building on our DayZ server. You can now collect materials, and turn them into buildable structures. You can build your own bases, which will save just like tents are saved on our hive. Keep in mind that tents as well as custom bases are cleared automatically after 4 days if your character has died. See the first post for instructions! Notice: Credits to Daimyo who initially developed the base-building addon for DayZ!

I want to apologize to the new customers who have been waiting exceptionally long this weekend for their new server to be set up. The combination of a machine reaching server capacity and one of our staff members being on a weekend trip have caused some delays. Everything should be running smooth again within the next 12 hours. We are also nearly done with development for an instant setup procedure, meaning the moment you order it will be set up. We're hoping to implement this within the next few days. We will let you know here.

There will be a giveaway event today on our IRC: https://vortexservers.com/chat.php You can get a FREE TS3 server for one month (no, you do not need to order a DayZ server for this)

Taviana server added. Enjoy!

UPDATE: You can now order a server with the new map: Taviana

So i know we have had some issues with the server not being visible to everyone, causing the server popularity to drop drastically. We have now got got a BRAND-NEW server with a new IP. All issues we had previously should now be fixed: 205.234.152.67:2302

^ l o l By the way, we now support this loadout tool to enable you to change the standard loadout with ease. If you want to edit a player's custom loadout instead of just the standard loadout, you can use this and then copy it from the database table it applies it to. Still easier than having to figure out how to add each item manually in the database.

Did they delete your database as well?? If not, we may be able to transfer it to your new server as soon as it's set up.

100th support ticket answered today! :) For those who do not like writing tickets, we also have a Teamspeak 3 server available for questions and support. The IP and password to it can be given out to customers by request.

Glad you like it :) Update: The IP has slightly changed so in case you have the server added as your favorite, make sure you search for 'NGG' again or add the IP: 205.234.152.67:2302

We are setting it up on a new machine due to some visibility issues. Should be back up within a few hours

Server is back up

Yes, give it another 10 minutes or so and we should be back up and running

Also, our DayZ Channels always have groups of people playing on the server. Feel free to join them on Teamspeak: Dont be shy :) PS: The server will be down for some maintenance over the next 1 - 2 hours. This will include a performance as well as a security update!

Hmm... where has this been confirmed? Like to share the source?

Updated to 1.7.4.4

NEW! Automatic Backups We have now implemented automatic backups every 10 minutes, which can be used by Admins to rollback the server in case a hacker manages to go undetected and kill/teleport everyone.

* [NEW] (*.2 Hotfix)Added some Anti-cheat. Any clarification what type of anti-cheat? It would also have been interesting to see how it would look with streetlights. I like the flickering idea by Fraggle

UPDATE: Our admin team now uses an advanced spectate tool to monitor the server for hackers. Don't be fooled by many antihack tools claiming it will protect the server. It does not. Most hackers have a bypass that does not even let the server log the hacker's activity. The only efficient way to catch them is by spectating 24/7 which we are doing most of the time. It has worked wonders so far.

NEW: We now offer a FREE Voice Server included in your DayZ order!

Fact: Buildings spawned by hackers do not stream in again after a restart. They are loaded in from the database, which cannot be hacked client-side. The server admins are placing objects, but having trouble positioning them, or they are simply playing around a bit.

No! No! No, and again: No! The line you have pasted in the post is NOT a hack. None of the people replying, except Nik21, seem to know what they are talking about (sorry but its true!). There is a reason why the dayz community script detection files EXCLUDE (!) this very line in all its detections: http://code.google.c...w:1347142609015 For those unaware of how the script detection works: If there is a "!" EXCLAMATION MARK behind a certain line, it means that it should ignore ANYTHING after the exclamation mark. Hence, it will NOT kick you for it. Lastly, all of the players on my server are logged with that line. If you look through your logs properly, you will find that just about anyone is logged with that line.
