One DMR mag(20 rounds) will split into four (5 round) M24 magazines since they are the same caliber. Thus the reason I suggested it. If you had 4 M24 mags, that would be ok as well, as you could just combine them into one DMR mag for the purpose of saving space.

You don't have to die if you time it properly. It's really not that difficult either. Open your menu, press abort while falling and hover over the "Yes/Confirm" button. Wait until the last second before you hit the ground, and press it. When you log in if you did it correctly, you'll be lying prone as if nothing happened. If you did it too early, you may fall and break your leg and be knocked out unconscious & bleeding, and then you can have someone come and patch you up, or call on a medic as to not have to die from the hacker. I'm sure one of the trusted medics around here would come help in that scenario. Otherwise, no... there's really no way to tell. Your body will be where it hit the ground, and that would be whereever the hacker decided to throw you. Last time this happened to me, I was way west of Zelenogorsk at the map edge. You could be anywhere really. Your stuff will disappear on restart, or your body could of simply glitched into the ground and is no longer there. It happens every so often, in which case there's nothing you can do but pony up and start over.

Take down those screenshots and copy and paste the particular log found in the createvehicle.log with the IP and GUID removed. You do not want to post that information on a public forum. The IP in particular since there are things that can be done to someone via having their IP address on hand. Do it quickly as well before a moderator just edits or deletes your thread. Also, just because there was a createvehicle kick doesn't mean it was spawning vehicles. Createvehicle kicks happen when your client fails to load into a server, or there's a mis-match when loading in(during the phase in which your body is in the debug plains) that you are actually a bird(seagull) so if that kick happens to look like "Player Name Guid #0 "SeaGull" "Player Name Guid #1 "Seagull" Then it's nothing to worry about. But still, post it up here. If you see a kick rest assured it's doing it's job. It's preventing people from executing that script, so even in a case where it's sketchy as to whether or not to ban that person, it's still going to auto kick every time anyway. For the record, anything that shows up in remoteexec.txt is 99% of the time malicious and should be banned for. It's usually shitty public hack scripts people found on google.

The kick happens when you get stuck at loading, 99.9% of the time. Since the game hangs, battleye cannot handshake with the server, thus the "kick" even though usually you're forced to close the process.

DZ_Backpack_EP1 is a coyote backpack. The big one. This is not a ban worthy entry. No proof there to distinguish a potential hacker from a legit player. It truly seems legit here. Maybe he had an M16A2/M203 or M4A1 Holo and felt like just blowing up a zombie with an HE grenade, and then a green smoke grenade out of pure boredom, then logged off shortly after, for just that reason. Boredom. You need hard evidence of something wrong. Like the same player planting 10+ satchel charges in a 2 minute window. Something like that in the createvehicle log and you either have some kind of duping going on, or someone whose giving himself these items. Ones an exploit which can be temporarily banned for(I do it if I can catch a person, not long..24hr, enough for them to think about what they're doing, and possibly doing it on a DIFFERENT server) and the other, is enough to warrant a perma ban.

My favorite war series/movie/documentary of all time, and the fact it's based on 100% true events that are as accurate as humanly possible makes it all the better. The person playing Dick Winters did a PHENOMENAL job throughout this series. As did all the other virtually no-name actors. Then again, with Spielburg and Tom Hanks behind the helm, you can expect perfection. Sadly, I did not enjoy "The Pacific" nearly as much.

I am looking for an M24 with at least ONE dmr mag, preferably two. You can only choose either the AS50 or the pair of NVGs. Also, another trade I will do is my L85 for your M4A3 CCO. Straight up. Ammo not included as it's the same for both weapons, and I imagine you already have some. I will not do the trade unless you are on my teamspeak, and I will also have one person guarding the transaction from an undisclosed location. I feel as if you're getting the rarer end of the deal here, but that's fine with me as these items I am looking for are personal vanity items. I also will provide the server this takes place on. I am a bandit as well(heartbeat), but please don't let that scare you. I'm 26, and a server admin. I do not have the time to mess with someone, as in killing them to take their things, and you are free to come chat with me on my teamspeak before the trade goes down to get a feel for my character/demeanor. Thanks! Kevin

Do it on US 1313. My server is setup so that swimming does not cause you to lose your inventory/backpack.

Generally we just bitch on TS about the bugs, what should be/shouldn't be in the game, while running around the north, hoping to encounter another squad to engage(win or lose, we still hope for the action). Thats my endgame.

Sure, but then you'd have to make crouch walking more noisy when in a forest, and your stepping on leaves. I don't know about you, but if I was sitting in the forest, say as a sniper, I would most certainly hear someone creeping behind me, even as quietly as possible, just by the leaves/twigs cracking that are under leaves. You can have the lightest feet, but you will NOT be silent.

I'll trade for a pair of NVGS for the M24. Other than that, no deal. the M24 also has to come with at least one DMR mag. Preferably two.

I'll offer an AS50 with 2 M107 mags for an M24. Like the above said, I really like the m24 lol.

Have a UH-1H there. I put about 7 AS50 nato rounds into it and it appeared to have shutdown. Free game. I'll be back freeside, next time with friends. I couldn't took out two of your counter snipers but decided the helicopter was the higher value target. Forming my sqaud now. We'll be back. Also, enjoy the AS50 TWS AND G36C SD. Looted it off a hacker about 30 minutes prior. Probably should of deleted it, and I kind of feel ashamed I didn't but meh...was in the heat of the moment. Was there any damage done to the chopper? I hit it square in the rotor at least 5 times with nato ammunition. :( I'm sure many know by now but this was at the polana factory. Edit: Couldn't of took out your two overwatch, that is. Should re-think their hiding spots. :) Just some friendly fun. :P My apologizes. It was US 2013, Now they banned my squad mate for shooting them with a double barrel. Also said he teleported and had god mode. Come on logs. Post some evidence bro. ;) We're all dying over here waiting to see it. Another scrub admin doesn't know how to follow the rules. PLEASE: ONE LOG FILE SHOWING DukeHunter was executing god mode and executing teleport scripts. THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME.

There is a fix coming out to fix the broken tents and vehicles. This will come at the same time that Vilayer offers DayZ a new server to run the new hive on. There is no guaranteed time frame yet, other than soon, but this is what I heard straight from Vilayer who is obviously in cahoots with Rocket & DayZ as well as being the largest dayz hoster out there by percentage of servers. We should see less desync, and this fix. Hopefully at the same time, Rocket takes out the military soldiers creating the glitch and we have a "Stable release" at least until standalone. To me, that would be perfect. The reason taking out the dead soldiers is so important to me, is that I read a thread on reddit where rocket states the graphical bugs are a problem that's residing deep within the arma 2 engine that came about with the 1.62 arma patch, and that it's been very frustrating to fix with what he has access to now. This is why he thought he had it fixed but realized he only temporarily fixed the issue. He also said that since it's an engine problem which would require him to get to the core of the engine to correct, this may not be fixed entirely until standalone or a new arma patch(not beta) goes through, if it even does before we have a boxed version of DayZ.

Clearly a work in progress, but just picture DayZ and chernarus with 6 inches of snow. Being able to see peoples footsteps depending on how long ago they traveled. Blood on the ground if someone was shot recently and wounded(Could track them if it was within 10 minutes). Winter season starting in december and ending during the first week of march, then going back to the regular chernarus/chernarus plus map. Zombies will move slower due to the temperatures, but be more aggressive and travel in packs in search of the food(think of how animals react during the winter months, especially Deer.) Just picture it for a second. You all know that sound, or should I say lack there of, when you're outside on a snowy night. It's so silent you could hear a strand of hair hit the pavement. You're in a treeline prone with your arctic camo M24, watching your breath as you exhale into the cold. Then you hear a shot echo in the distance, and it seems like the echo goes on forever due to the snow covered terrain. You see a survivor running with blood pouring out leaving a trail on the ground. You throw a round in the chamber, lock the bolt forward, and pull the trigger putting a round in his chest and dropping him turning the snow red. Just picture that, and tell me... "Fuck yes" aren't the first words that enter your mind. Rocket, we need a snow chernarus, with blizzards instead of rain. It needs to alternate based on months, the same way the game relies on real world moon cycles. This video is just a mod of a map that someone did in their spare time. I know Rocket and his team behind the standalone could pull this off flawlessly, and I believe it's been talked about in the past, but I would love to see it touched on more in the coming weeks/months.

The M107 TWS is a gun in ARMA 2, obviously... yet it was removed from the DayZ database to the point where you will not see it in even the biggest hacker ammo crates. It will not script into DayZ. At least to my knowledge, and I've NEVER seen a hacker crate with one in it, and I've seen plenty of fucking hacker crates. So, your whole argument just flew out the window, as well as my post flew over your head. Cheers. And come on with that grasping at straws argument about "We're all cheaters". You're comparing bugs that are UNAVOIDABLE UNLESS YOU DONT PLAY THE GAME, to blatantly used hacked in weaponry(Like I said, I don't give a shit about guns like the G36. I give a shit about guns that are capable of instant killing anyone within 1600 meters, and through fucking FOG, which normally would prevent you from even seeing a fucking CITY. Let alone a player. Everyone whose fucking used it knows it's like having the hand of god at your fingertips. Deny it and you're a liar. If you have an AS50 TWS, you know that you can waltz into elektro and nail the 5 snipers camping there hidden in ghillie suits without putting forth any effort. Goto a ridge 1000 meters away, overlooking dobryy(there's a lot), and fire away at your hearts content. They can't see you because of their draw distance being reduced by fog, yet you can see them. It's akin to having a no fog hack ffs. The bottom line is this gun was in the game, and taken out by the developer because he felt it was too powerful for the nature of this game and did not fit in with his vision of dayZ, thus it was taken out. Yet people try and defend a reason to use it. Hey, like I said.. if you want to use it fine, but you won't use it on my server and I don't give a shit if anyone wants to report me for that. I won't have to kick you anyway because people like you would just leave the server instead of having to drop their precious hacked gun. No rules against warning people. Also, now that we're seeing major server providers offering private hive servers (Vilayer is offering lingor/chernarus private hive) you can bet your ass the rules are starting to bend. Rockets stance for a long time was a big "Fuck you" to private hives, but now he's allowed it. Pretty soon we'll be granted more authority over our servers, and that's when I'll just ban every single person I see with an illegitimate weapon if they don't leave the server and take it with them when I warn them privately in rcon first. Enough said. I swear to christ, it's like I'm one of the only people who really cherish the way this game was meant to be played. Legitimately. No duping. No ammo swapping(.45/DMR, etc). No logging for ammo. No infinite consumable glitches. No HACKED ITEMS. We're a dying breed. The rest defend this shit because they know it makes the game easier for them. Pity. I miss the days of old, when games were competitive and the people who played them shunned every single person who glitched/exploited or straight out hacked. Now we're seeing more and more people encouraging hackers to spawn them in shit with the excuse... "Well I deserve it since I die from hackers all the time, cut me some slack." We all fucking die from hackers. /done

The tent was just someone duping items by the sounds of it. Duping has nothing to do with scripting/hacking/cheating in DayZ, it's just exploiting the tent save feature, and it's currently broken in this current patch, so it can't be done further. However as we all know since tents aren't saving progress at all, it means that if there were duped items PRE 1.7.2.5, they will always be there no matter how many times they are taken out, or even if the server is restarted a dozen times in a row. They will permanently be there until we see a fix. Grats on the L85, it really isn't "broken" nor is it that OP. The weapon is not all that effective. It was in your situation since your targets were less than 150m away from you and at that range a 5.56 round is pretty deadly. Thing is, that gun is piss poor accurate, and good luck shooting someone out past say 500 meters and killing them before they have time to take cover. The damage at that range is basically near 2000 damage a shot, and throw the guns inaccuracy on top of it all and you have a mediocre combat weapon yet an AMAZING spotting tool. It's also not a good choice tactically for CQB.

So hacking was involved in this process or...?

Last time I drank a mountain dew, I fell over dead from literally nothing(I guess a hacker kill commanded me). I was just running through the woods, fell over and died. Still had all my blood. Everything. About 10 minutes after I drank it. Never again. Ever,

You are nothing more than incredibly lucky. I've spoken with hackers before(I can't make them not do it unfortunately) and what they told me was appalling. They said, on servers with more than 30 players, you are almost 99.9% guaranteed there is a hacker currently playing. He may be laying low, but he is certainly there. Just because they aren't nuking the servers, doesn't mean they aren't there. He can tell, because he would teleport to them to try and kill them, and when they didn't die they'd say "Lol I'm hacking too bro nice try" or something to that effect. He said these words, quite simply and eloquently.. "Rocket does not have control of his game anymore. They, We, Do." and that was the last time I spoke with him. He was once a legit player I knew, but said fuck it and bought the VIP hack just so he can kill hackers when he saw them via kill commanding(as it will still work with god mode on). If you want to avoid hackers, try another game and come back for standalone. Most of us still playing the mod have accepted the fact we are going to lose our gear to hackers more times than we will to being legitimately killed, bugs, or being overrun by zombies. The only thing you can truly do is play low(very) population servers. As in, 10 players or less. Private hives are a bit better since admins can ban for whatever the hell they want, but hackers get into those too. It's just not as much because for one, hackers know that progress on a private hive isn't as important as official hive(the impact is not as severe) and they don't feel like going through the trouble to get whitelisted to that private hive(most private hives have some sort of whitelisting system, whether it be registering to their forums, or giving them your player ID, etc.)

Do what I did. I contacted DayZ staff telling them my server was full of tents with dozens of duped as50s, as50 tws, l85s, m4 cco sds, M4 holos, G36s, the works. I asked them if I could get my server wiped as I heard they have done it in the past for people. I also told them that literally every town from Kamenka to Berezino had barbed wire griefing over almost every loot spawn entrance. They shut me down. So, I went to Casey at Vilayer, who provide me with my server and told him how frustrating it was, and with a flick of his wrist, he gave me a brand new instance ID(with vehicles already present) and it was completely wiped clean. All tents gone. Vehicles replaced to original spawn and their original conditions. It may have pissed people off, but I'm sorry that I'm not allowing people to pick up AS50s in tents that were placed INSIDE OF ELEKTRO. Seriously, contact your server providers, especially if you have Vilayer. They WILL help you wipe your server clean if you'd like. I know this doesn't mean a full hive wipe but it's the next best thing, and now with tents not saving, everyone has to either goto other servers to get duped gear out of tents, or come to mine and go find it legitimately or kill for it. Aka: The way it should be.

This is because it's a managed server, and you don't get that much control. At least I'm guessing it's a managed game server by the sounds of it. With vilayer, we have access to a file manager, and in there we can see certain files the server is running. Like our cfgdayz\battleye scripts/remoteexec/createvehicle.txt log filtering files. To update them, you simply go the community ban list, open up the new versions, copy the text, and then paste it over what you already had in your servers file manager. You can do this because we're allowed to edit or download the files to view them. We cannot rename them, or delete them though to upload anything else other than what the server was setup with. If something needs to be updated, it's done automatically on the hosters end(Not you, the admin.) I'm unsure if HFB allows this to be done, as I have never used them, but I have in the past heard from people that HFB managed servers don't offer you much "leg-room" at all with what you can besides stopping/restarting/kick-ban/ and altering mission difficulty settings like xhairs/3rd person, etc. I don't think you can even alter the servers timezone. With Vilayer, you can change the servers timezone to make it 24/7 daylight if you WANTED. Some people like to do that, myself included as it draws more players to the server as most servers empty out once it gets dark, and the only people who stick around will have NVGs anyway, which defeats the purpose of the night time atmosphere of DayZ. Contact support at HFB though. There's HFB posters here on the DayZ forums, and I'm sure one will see this thread. http://dayz.io/adminZ// You'll want to register at that site and go through the process of getting verified that you are indeed the administrator of your server. It's a forum run by server admins as well as some DayZ community staff, and I believe Dwarden(Battleye) is around as well. You'll get a lot of help there. Especially with anything pertaining to cheat scripts, and how to detect cheaters in your server, and what you can/cannot ban for.

I agree that the major tent saving bugs should be fixed, but who knows if that will come before standalone at the rate things are going. The fact is though, the .50 cal thermal simply has no place in this game. It is far too good, with virtually no cons that come with it. The ability to shoot through fog alone is extremely powerful and unwarranted in a game like this, but that's my opinion and as well all know, everyone has a different one. There is a reason it's not in the game traditionally, and that's probably because rocket felt the same way I do. I'm plenty happy with my regular AS50, and I think .50 cals should be in the game for sure(but as rare as they were before the duping, obviously) but a 50 with a thermal scope? No. The fact you can shoot through fog at a target you couldn't normally see, is the main issue I have with it. At least with the L85, it's not that accurate and is pretty weak at any distance past 300m. And "blablabla me and my admins and clan mates will keep our as50 tws" I hope that wasn't directed at me. I've even told my guys I'll kick em for blatantly exploiting hacked equipment because in my eyes it takes away from the spirit of the game. Not that I would need to actually do that because they all share the same opinion as me. We play legit, and we kill players who play illegitimately like it's our job, and we have fun doing it. I can't tell you how many AS50 thermals we hide on bodies daily just to stop the circulation of this noob cannon. You can go ahead and use it, but I make it a point that my message of the day on my server states "If you are caught holding an illegal weapon, you will be warned to drop it. If you do not comply, you will be susceptible to receive a 24hr ban." Then if I see anyone holding it in the RPT log after they've obviously seen the MOTD, I warn them again in RCON. They usually then just leave the server so they don't have to drop the weapon, which is a win win for me, because then I don't have to issue a 24hr ban, or kick them and have them complain on the forums. I don't immediately kick/ban for using hacked weapons, and the AS50 TWS is really the only one I single out. For an example, I don't care much about people using G36Cs simply because it has no advantage over an M4A1 CCO SD. Same damage. Same range. Different optics but same accuracy. The TWS is just in a whole 'nother league however.

To live one day without being hack killed on my own fucking server where I can't do anything about it since they have bypasses, and even though Rocket has already stated the standalone is being worked on, and the mod isn't the number one priority right now, we're STILL not allowed to police our own servers effectively. Fuck yes, I am mad.

I'm glad others share my opinion on this. This needs to be high priority on the "to-do" list for standalone, and Rocket... I hope you're listening. We want snow, and the pros and cons that come with it. I can just imagine running around at night, start shivering, and notice I have no heatpacks. Only option is to light a fire and camp near it until I warm up, all the while exposing the shit out of my self, but it's a risk your forced into taking if you want to survive. That one scenario out of 1000s of possibilities that a snowy landscape can offer, would be incredibly tense. Heatpacks would be MANDATORY as staying on the move alone wouldn't be enough to keep your temperature in a safe range. I mean, just having it be so quiet, walking through the woods, hearing nothing but your crunchy footsteps on the snow, and then you hear an M107 fire off in the distance from what seems like 2000m away just because of the echo effect due to the blanketed and the air density. Also, bear traps hidden under the snow....trollolol?
