  1. As long as you have enough RAM, you may indeed do so. You do not need a second GUID.

    day z needs more vehicles!

    I believe more cars add to the atmosphere, but 1400 is a little silly. My server has around 400 vehicles. 105 of them are bicycles. The vast majority of the rest are sedans, vans, pick-ups, motorcycles, and atvs. The remaining 40 are divided up amongst Ural-type trucks, some Humvees with mounted weapons, UAZs with mounted weapons, and Pickups with mounted weapons. And then only three helicopters. The vast majority of my players love the amount of vehicles, as it ends up being 3-4 per small town, with the larger towns holding the vast majority of the vehicles. How I handle clans and hoarding on my server is every Monday vehicles get reset back to their original spawns. This excludes both the Ural type trucks and tents. Players get to keep their "base" of operations, but have to continually spend that time on transportation that simulates both wear and tear and the unpredictability of living in a persistant world. This also pushes those cushy clans to go out and do something other than PvP bambis. And this ensures that new spawns and players have a chance to drive around in something. This is, of course, my opinion, having ran my server for the past four months.
  3. Just a note, using the official scripts.txt file from the site gives you all of these script restriction kicks. Using their file DOES NOT FIX. After putting together the sethit fix into the scripts, now players are just getting kicked for #21. I bet if I manage to get that fixed, #38 is next.
  4. ^^^^ FREAKING THIS!!!! My players ask me all the time when I play, and my answer is always "I don't have time." Got the spectate mode running and it's fan-*******-tastic. Banned a guy today who teleported his chopper with him in it. Didn't show in the logs, would never have known without spectate. Banned another guy who logged in, I check people I don't recognize, watched him put on a ghilie not three feet off the beach, then an AS50 TWS appears in his hands. I checked the database, and it wasn't showing! Decided to have a little fun with this guy. Told him "HEY LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!" He turned around frantically looking. I yelled "LOOK OUT THERE'S A HACKER! OH WAIT, IT'S YOU!" and banned his sorry ass. Anyone that thinks admins are "cheating" or "too powerful" has never tried adminning one of these godforsaken servers. Sure, there are bad apples and people are going to abuse it. Don't play there. Simple as that. Or go play on a hive with no active admins. Idiots.
  5. Pwnozor is not using Bliss, it's an updated Anti-Rocket build. +1 for Pwnozor, been running it for a month after running Anti Rocket for months.

    globaly banned?!!!!

    BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all.
  7. Yeah, cause gaming the system to put three gunners on a single gun isn't cheating. Surely that doesn't mean they hacked that chopper in..... I think YOU missed the point of Dayz, and let me point it out to you, it's not about cheating. In case you didn't know. Or are stupid. Whichever.

    Fuel Spots

    Nice map, thanks for making it. Here's a quick vid I made to show how to fuel a chopper quickly. Might help Mr ATVdidn't-try-to-use-gascan. :)
  9. I enjoy how you "happened" to find a chopper and "happened" to know how to cheat three people onto a gun. I'm calling bullshit.

    Which T-Shirt design would you buy?

    Number 2, then 1. Option 3 is stylized, but it's rather unreadable, and not in the Day Z font, so not easily recognized by other Day Z players.
  11. Looking for some answers to some questions our clan has about the terms you're using so we're on the same page. 1. What does "Managed Server" actually entail? 2. What would the main difference between Managed Server option with 50 slots and your Unmanaged VPS option. 3. On your thread here, you have: E3-1230 (8x 3.6GHz) 3GB Dedicated RAM 100GB Hard Drive Space 100Mbps Connection Unmetered Bandwidth Windows Server 2008 Standard But on your website at www.dayzhosting.com the same option lists: Unmanaged VPS 3GB Dedicated RAM 4 x 3.6GHz CPU 100GB HDD Space 1Gbps with 10TB Bandwidth Windows Server 2008 Std The main difference being CPU and the Connection. Would like to know which is correct. 4. Really which of the two offers the best choice for a fairly active small clan with a very computer savvy playerbase and ability for that clan to be active admins for round the clock availability? Thanks. EDIT: Host Altitude Support got back to me super fast through email. Their reply. 1) Managed server means we update and "maintain" the server for you. 2) You get much more control with the VPS option. We give you remote desktop access to a windows VPS server and you can install what you want on it. We will install DayZ for you and that's about it. 3) If you have a tech savvy group then the VPS option is probably best. The specs listed on our website are more accurate, the CPU is technically the same but we have not justified it correctly. (The CPU has 4 cores but with hyper threading it technically has 8 cores). ----------- Jonathan L. Support Team Thx for the quick response.

    Bad luck, wipes and hackers in DayZ

    Sounds like you haven't been paying attention. Alpha is to add features. Beta is to fix bugs. We're in Alpha. Got it ? Sounds like someone needs to go write some more fanfiction. This is also a forum. It's used for "discussion". Thanks for contributing! Your honored words of wisdom are a boon to all of us. So say we all.
  13. Agree. I bet you are correct about the porting to Arma 3 or standalone, alot of this probably would be a non-issue by then. In b4 "THIS IS ALPHA LOLZ GET A DICTIONARY" idiots.

    Admin Observe Mode?

    Thanks for the reply, it's hard to really find anything related to this. Maybe there should be a thread posting known hacks on the logs. I saw a server admin forum only being asked for, that sounds like it would be a great place to post such a repository.

    Bad luck, wipes and hackers in DayZ

    I feel your pain. Last night, a few members of my group were fixing up a UAZ, had it down to needing one wheel. Was running back to our base of operations when one member was shot, instantly killed. I dodged for cover, being in survivor skin, and my friend, in a ghilie suit, parked behind a tree. We had a great line of sight around, saw nothing. All of a sudden I take one straight to the head. My friend runs off to the east for a few minutes, literally getting miles away. Stops behind a tree and is instantly shot. No one ever saw anything. We're assuming it was an inivisible player. We headed back, the UAZ is gone, hours wasted. The UAZ was nowhere near a town, so there's very little chance someone either happened to have a tire, or they went and got one before we made it back. Unforuanately, this is an alpha and there doesn't appear to be any tools at an admin's disposal to right any wrongs, or really to even verify that you died to someone cheating. I would hope that fixing that and giving server admins the tools they need would be somewhere on the list, before "dog companions".
