Time for a deodorant change. :P I tend to avoid all players as much as possible and choose my forays into built up areas very carefully. Every time I have wanted to help fellow players, I have died as a result. Then is only one player that I team up with now and it is Skadefroen. :)

Epic Fail for Gamma and Brightness settings ... a True bandit would have done it in the dark or first got some Nightvision Goggles. :P Up close and Personal Banditry ... good for a laugh. :)

DE 4265 ... :)

It would be relatively easy to do that on server reboot ... if it was a requirement and a private hive. :)

The DB is read during server startup and the vehicles are then spawned in that way. Technically it is possible to spawn vehicles in while the server is up, but this will require knowledge of the scripting side of Arma and you would probably have to disable Battleye to avoid getting yourself banned from your own server. So in short: the only way is through a custom script or "hack". HTH

I am personally involved in a project (Indie Game Development) that is inspired by DayZ and has a distinctive Roleplay Feel to it. It includes Skill Trees, Crafting and Barricading Elements in it. I can't divulge more information then that at this point in time, but we are due to make an announcement in due course. :)

Gews and Chris529 said it all. :) I hope you find a better server where Admins are more friendly and are there to only Admin the server and not turn it in to their own Private Kingdom. Lost count of how many times my base has been raided ... fair play ... pack up ... move to new location. :)

So there I am ... happily minding my own business when a certain individual called "most" (7e38a3b4bd66419537ebeb4677079fa5) who thought it would be clever to connect to my server and sell his scripts on my server. Sorry for you ... Kick ... Ban ... so long and thanks for all the fish. Anyway ... just thought I would share the username and GUID for all you admins. He said he had a script that was undetected and was trying to pawn it on my server. I hope he doesn't pollute your server ... :)

RuffneX Chernarus is now up and running. It is a Private Hive Server that requires players to be Whitelisted. NO custom loadouts. NO free gear. NO need to contribute. Standard Vehicle Spawns (but with a higher probability of spawning). Server is actively monitored. Server logs are regularly checked. BattleEye Extended Controls enabled. Admins are friendly. As the name indicates, it is running the Chernarus map and has a max player limit of 40. We are trying to build a strong community around the server and although the server is hosted in Germany, we are primarily English speaking people. To get whitelisted, you need to visit the server forums at: http://dayz.gobbogames.co.za/forum/ Server Details: IP: 62.75.216.74 Port: 2362 We have a Public Team Speak server that can also be used, just check the forums for the details. I hope to see you on the server.

Right ... Whitelist has been re-enabled ... just because peanuts choose to SPAM VON with their voices and spoil the game for other players. Any players (except for these idiots) who have played on the server before have automatically been whitelisted. If you want to play on the server, please go here to be whitelisted: http://dayz.gobbogames.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5 Thanks for your support and I look forward to seeing you online. :)

Thanks Skadefroen. :) All basic features are back up and running (including day/night mode and crash sites). These were temporarily offline due to some minor issues on the server hosting side ... but I am happy to say that we are 100% operational. In order to drive more players to the server, I have temporarily disabled whitelisting and the server is free to join for anyone. I will look at whitelisting the server again at a later stage if things get out of hand. I have ensured that Battleye and Battleye Extended Controls are 100% operational and I comb the logs on a daily basis ... so the server is safe to play. Please join us, I am a very friendly admin and Skadefroen has become a regular on the server. The server is vanilla and the only change is that vehicles have a higher spawn chance ... but there are not more of them ... it is the default amount with the default spawn points. My vehicles also have random loadouts ... so no two vehicles spawn with the same gear. :) They also spawn in random states of repair ... you might get lucky and find a fully working vehicle. This is to be expected in a Zombie Apocalypse. Hope to see you online ... and remembaer: Stay Strong Survive Long. :)

It is a pity ... some people just are't meant to be admins ... what they are doing is no different to a Script Kiddie.

My servers seem to have a nice balance with not much KoS ... They are hosted in Germany though so I am not sure if that is a problem for you. Shoot me a PM if you want the details ... I have both a public hive and a private hive.

Private Hive or Public Hive? Hop on over to DE 4265 ... it should be running night now. I run it at GMT-6. Still waiting for the Private Hive to be sorted out ... having a few issues with Day/Night ... but it will also be running GMT-6.

http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Just click on the various items and vehicles, it will tell you in the description what it can store. Not sure how up to date the Wiki is on the 1.7.6 version as a lot of the Backpack sizes have changed ... but those are relatively easy to figure out. HTH

Firstly ... it is an 1866. (http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Winchester_1866) Secondly ... I stopped reading after the first "non" sentence ... my eyes are bleeding form the lack of punctuation and grammar ... and general good English usage. This post is what I commonly refer to as a: "BRAIN FART". http://fearfactsexposed.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/brainfart.jpg

Ummm ... errr ... wait I know: "magnetic interference from money/credit cards" ... did that help? It is because the Axe is considered a Primary Weapon ... the Devs would be able to answer you why ... and it is just the way the game mechanics are. Life just isn't fair ... I know ... but hey ... at least you can swing your axe and shoot your load ... I mean pistol. ;)

So a Bandit was killed by a Bandit (who snipes) and he is upset ... what about the two players you killed ... how do you think they feel. :) I mean really ... bandits complaining because they got killed ... now I have heard everything ... might as well just pack up DayZ now. :P p.s. This is just a light-hearted stab at Bandits ... I can dig that they are part of the game ... :)

Cool ... I will give it a bash tonight. Thanks for this. :beans: Thanks ... hope you can get it resolved ... :beans:

Are you in a Hero Skin? If yes ... then the same happens to me now and again (since 1.7.6.1). Unfortunately the only way I have been able to resolve it is by killing myself and re-spawning. It is random, as sometimes I just disconnect and reconnect and I am okay. It also only normally happens when I have died. So I am not sure.

Cool idea in Theory ... but it means that the models in the game need to support this. It also means that these needs to be transferred to all clients when you connect to the server and needs to be streamed when a player connects. If the people making the custom skins don't know how to optomise the the textures, then there could be problems there. If they don't know how to do Specular, Normal, and Bump maps ... all the textures will look flat and non-3d. Finally, server admins will not have control on what the models look like on their servers ... and based on previous experiences (Quake 2, etc) ... you'll end up with everyone running naked because they think it is funny. I for one hope this does not get added ... just my opinion though.

He was obviously a very skilled Skiddie ... "oops, didn't mean to turn you in to a goat" ... "just respawn ... oh crap, what have I done" ... *sigh*

I normally avoid all other players whenever possible. I won't shoot (as I am normally armed with a Hatchet) even when provoked ... I have however started playing with another player who kind of protects me (i.e. I do the talking, he does the shooting) ... seems to be working well so far. :)

Contact the server admins if you can. If you haven't received a response on here yet, then chances are they don't visit these forum. Failing that, find another a server. My servers are also in DE ... PM me if you want the details. Good luck.

Agreed ... Need to find a server with active admins. I am constantly watching the logs on my servers even when I am not playing ... my servers have been Skiddie free for a while now (touches wood or Fraggle's noggin ... whichever is closer ... :P) and I am normally able to catch them, kick them, and ban them before they spoil it for any of my players. I hope you come right on a better server ... they are out there. :) p.s. Fraggle's noggin is not made out of wood ... so don't go there. ;)
