Chances are the classnames are not in the Database and hence they don't persist to the database when saved. It is a relatively easy fix if this is the case.

Because there are no consequences for actions there will always be KOS ... and even in an Apocalypse there will be those that shoot first and ask questions later ... regardless of the consequences. You can't change the game in anyway to remove KOS ... what you have to do ... as in real life, find like minded people and work together to stay alive. I am a "Hero" because I helped a lot of people in the beginning and was constantly playing with the same group of people, when the group disbanded due to conflict, I moved off on myself. On the odd occasion I have helped a fellow player who I could trust ... on many occasions I end up getting killed on my way to help someone or because it is a trap. Nowadays I am more cautious ... no matter how bad the person needs help, I will do a proper recon of the area and make sure it isn't a trap ... if the crap hits the fan, I run ... it is my life and I choose to protect it. :) KOS is here to stay, do I do it ... NO,do I condone or support it ... NO, do I understand it ... NO, do I accept it as part of the game and change my tactics to suit the situation ... YES!!!

I like it ... granted my entire time since release has been getting DayZ Control Center working with 1.7.7 ... but I like it. :)

From what I understand, the type of food and water indicates how long the counter takes to run down. A steak lasts longer then a can of Beans ... water lasts longer then a soda ... or at least this is what I understood. Don't quote me ... I may be wrong. :)

Hi Crosire, We haven't been formally introduced, but I am the developer working for DayZ Priv and I am looking forward to keeping your legacy going with this project. I won't let you down and thank you for giving us the opportunity to keep this awesome piece of software running in the community for the community. As Crosire mentioned, there will be a little downtime as we move services across to our servers, so please bare with us and be patient. Once the server move has been completed, I will post some updated information on how I plan to tackle the releases and what we are planning for the future. So once again, thank you Crosire, and thank you the community ... I will be in touch once the move is over to provide much more information.

To the OP ... awesome story. Just a word of advise, try to keep your tense consistent throughout the writing process. If you are going to use present tense ... it should b used throughout. Avoid the temptation of switching from present to past and back to present, especially in the dialogue parts. Definitely a cool read and I am looking forward to the rest. Keep it up. :) Some posts for helpful hints regarding tense: http://kimscraftblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/tense-problems-in-writing-memoir.html http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/writing/medicine/psychology/essay-structure/8.xml http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/verb-tenses/ http://howtowriteshop.loridevoti.com/2013/03/present-tense-vs-past-tense-in-young-adult-novels/ Please see this as constructive criticism. I am enjoying the story regardless, but I though it would be helpful. :)

You can if you set up your own server ... I have almost all the mods running locally ... :)

Hi Everyone, What features do you look for when wanting to find a Private Hive Hoster? I have added some features here, but I would like to see what the rest of the community thinks and any extra features that they can think of. Disclaimer: This is not a "my host" is better then "your host" ... this is for research purposes. I am more interested in what features you would like to have as well as what you currently have. Map Features: View Wrecked Vehicles, Vehicles, Players, Deployed Items, Dead Players. Detail Features: View Detailed information on Vehicles, Players, Tents. Player Tracking: Track a player movement on a map to test for teleports and other movement hacks. (Realtime) View Logs. (Realtime) Start/Stop Server. Configure Server (Day/Night, MOTD, etc.). Whitelisting. Public Page for Player Stats viewing, automated. Multi-user support. Separate Instances. Shared Instances. Vehicle Spawn System plus customisation. Kick/Ban/Message without RCON. RCON support. Please feel free to chip in and send me ideas or clarification of ideas. As stated, this is for research purposes only. Thanks for your time.

Or get a movement penalty and have a chance of tripping every now and again. :)

Nope ... that is the only way.

And you say I need to grow up. Hmmmmm.

Focus on the colors of the items when you scroll wheel over he vehicle. Red first --> Orange next --> Yellow last. Anything Red (except for Glass) will prevent he vehicle from operating. Glass on a Helicopter is very important ... so rather be safe and repair all glass on them. HTH

I think we should collect Ears instead. Only the left ones ... they are easy to thread on a chain and cn be carried around your neck. Fingers are an option too ... but they tend to be more difficult to attach to a necklace and require extra effort to take off. Don't ask!!! :P

So why have it in the game when it is worthless? The amount of effort required to keep a value on items and then have people have to store more things in their backpack/inventory ... just doesn't make sense. Sorry, maybe I am missing the point ... but there seems to be no point to your point about adding money. And yeah ... WarZ ... that worked out well for them.

Was a good read ... until I got to Duping and Combat Logging ... FAIL!!! You shall get an honourable mention for MOM. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0sw8RnkESYo/T9-WfM2j5WI/AAAAAAAAAHA/KEoVV_rvpEg/s1600/Kermit+the+Frog.jpg

Well money relies on an economy ... which relies on market trading / import / export / etc. So unless the Zombies learn how to drive trucks and play the stock market ... I would say there would be a zero chance. Carry on doing what you are doing ... trading items and weapons. That is probably in reality what will happen when the outbreak happens. Money becomes nothing more then paper to wipe your bum with or light a fire with. Beans become more valuable and so do weapons. I used to hold flea markets and sell items for empty tins / empty soda cans / empty bottles ... just for kicks. :)

@TheLaughingMan: Kudos to you for taking action. I was by no means implying that you need to remove them or something drastic like that, it is after all your server and I wish you all the best. Good luck man. :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans:

This can be done with a normal sql command and a re-login by the player. In the case of hackers, it is sometimes better to restart the server to remove any trash left behind by the hacker. For events ... you would typically then only give access to the menu to a quartermaster. Sorry ... not trying to start an argument ... I am just trying to establish why "admins" would need tools like this. It seems a little "fuzzy" to me.

Although I don't condone Skiddies ... this is so awesome. :) I love DayZ ... love it. :D

Now that is just silly. It is a game ... education is far more important th... oh gawd who am I kidding. ;)

...or ask the admins to fix their server. :)

PvP will always be part of a game ... and rightly should. I have only killed on player since I started playing. He was a Bandit with an axe, he hacked me down on the coast when I called friendly and was on my way to help another player. He then promptly hid my body ... such is DayZ. Later on that day, I was trying to get some industrial gear ... he promptly ran in and started looting my pile of stuff I had placed nearby while trying to do inventory management ... he didn't see me ... I went up behind him and hacked him to death. I am in a Hero skin, have been since the second or third week of playing DayZ. I choose not to shoot other payers and will rather run from a fight. Not because I am afraid of dying or loosing gear, but because I choose to play like this. Bandits choose to play as Bandits ... Players choose to KoS ... we all choose to play the game the way we play it. Are we wrong? No. Who am I to try and tell somone how to play the game. Should I cry about being KoS? No. Should I cry about losing all my gear? No. For The sake of Zeus' butthole ... it is a game people. If you get KoS. Change your tactics ... I did. If you get sniped on the beach by a Bandit. Change your tactics. You have over 100 square kilometers to explore ... use the space to your advantage. Find a server that is more friendly ... but you'll eventually encounter unfriendliness ... it is a fact of life. Team up with similar players, you don't have to forma clan. I regularly get 4 or 5 players joining me for a session ... Bandits become a non factor. Stop whining ... Firstly it is a game ... Secondly you have the power to change your future in the game by making choices ... it is still only a game. Good luck, survive long, be strong. :)

I haven't chimed in here as I don't know the people involved or the servers involved, but I only have one question? What purpose does this menu provide to the admins? In other words, what purpose could the ability to spawn vehicles and weapons and items actually do to help an admin maintain and administrate a server? The debate is not about whether the menu should be used or not but whether it actually provides a purpose ... I personally can't see the purpose. I run and administrate both a Private Hive and a Public Hive and I have never needed a menu like this and I am successfully keeping my servers running and hacker free. No matter what an admin's intentions are, whether good or not, if there is something this powerful at their disposal, chances are they will use it eventually. Solution, take this tool away and remove the temptation ... save yourself endless headaches. As stated, this is your server and you are probably the best one to be able to decide what to do and what action to take ... so I wish you all the best ... but most admins don't need tools like this to admin a server ... I know I don't.

This is a server host issue. I had a similar issue with DayZ Priv and they sorted it out for me. I did thorough tests recently. :)
