Hi, you are welcome to check us out at The BSB Network. We're a social gaming community that is dedicated to fair and fun gaming. We have over 200 players in various Fire teams and groups playing Day Z and using our Teamspeak Server to communicate and coordinate their scavenges and raids. These teams have several bases, vehicles, camps and play across several of our own home servers. The community is mostly adult gamers over the age of 20 (well over in most cases!) but there are no age, time or skill requirements - all we ask is you play fair and have a bit of common sense about you! Our members are based all over the world and are on at all times of the day and night, but all speak English and most are based in the UK and Mainland Europe with some in the US too. We've been gaming as a community since 2002, so we're not some ad-hoc fly by night clan that's been quickly set up and will be gone in the blink of an eye! There is no obligation to join our clan or any of our affiliated clans/groups to take part in our sessions though, everyone is free to urn up and get involved. If you're interested check out or website @ www.bsbnetwork.com and try to hop on our Teamspeak 3 server and say "hi!" 212.187.246.58:9140

Hi, I'm recently new to the DayZ community and would like to offer a suggestion Part of the problem with people that think they know how to Role play is they simply don't. If someone says freeze I can't how many times they just continue on sprinting like I'm not going to shoot them from not halting. I learned threw varies RP experience on other games its neccary to train people to properly react to there world. Kinda like how you learn to be a better actor these forms exist in things like select your class and such but I prefer more better ways. So I present to you guys this. Black Ops Event Black Ops is a random event that allows players a uniqe role as a team of mysterous well armed soldiers with even more mysterous objective. They can be disguished by there jet black uniforms and high end equipment. Conditions to starting the event: The event can be set to start at random times and when a certain player population is met(I.E a server of 5 players wont have it.). When it starts 5 random players get a message offering them to join a Black ops team, they have a certain time to accept and may refuse to do it. If the player refuses the message will be sent to another random player. Upon all players accepting the invite they will all be transported to the (random)LZ area Being a Spec Ops: Your skin will be tempory swapped out as a black ops soldier (think kinda SWAT only black attire). Your communication will also have its own channel for your team. Your inventory will be tempory swapped with a good selection of military grade hardware. You will even have a chance to aquire some things normally not aquireabe. You will often have a vehicle or vehicles at your dosposal as your objective is quiet a distance away. (Vehicles despawn after server reset to keep from farming.) Your equipment will instantly despawn when you die (This is to mostly keep people from farming each other.) you will then be back to your orginal charicter at whatever location you teliported from. You will be insta killed for Tking teamates. Random Variables: To keep things interesting on each mission certain variables will be randomly rolled on they are as follows As mentioned above your equipment is randomly givin to you. It will generally be set up so you have a bit of everything among your team (Shotgun guy, sniper, engineer, ect) Vehicles will be randomly given they have a black skin and will range from a HMMWV to a black hawk(maybe V-22 Osprey?) Rules of Engagement will be randomly rolled as well. Some missions might let you gun down all you see others may require you to only kill others if in self defence(killing players will result in mission failed and end the event.). The Missions: The missions are randomly generated and will try to place a good distance between you and the target. Most but not all missions will "ping" the location to other survivers as well to make things intresting. The missions are as follow Server retreaval: A server is located in a random urban area, your team must go there and plant a hacking device on it. They must wait a certain amount of time(based on random again) before the device is done getting the information and then you must blow up the server. A announcment will go out to all players that something strange is happening in that town as well.(mainly to attract players). Target Elimination: A rogue scientist(randomly chosen player) disguised as a bandit has been identified and is required to be eliminated. His last known location is displayed on the map at the start of the mission. This requires you to track him down old fashion style and eliminate him Target Retrieval: Identifying a potentail scientist who is dsguised as a hero(randomly chosen player) who might be able to cure the outbreak requires retreaval. However someone has planted a tracker on him that broadcast every minute his location to anybody! You must rescue him and bring him to a designated LZ to be picked up. Reward: For all surviving members after they accomplish the mission they are allowed to keep there weapons and spare ammo when they respawn as normal survivors. If there is no room in there inventory it will drop to the ground next to them. The point of this: To give players a role as a elite team of operatives with a defined goal. It gives you a taste of the high life of not having to just survive yet it doesn't take away the essence of it when you return back to normal.

No it's bad don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Even on medium pop servers hackers are rampant, although maybe not as obvious compared to larger pop servers. One of the more subtle, but still devastating consequences of hackers that gets overlooked is the camps they create. On almost every 15-40+ pop server hackers create camps that 99% of the time have multiple vehicles stolen from other players. It's not limited to one camp per server either. I've seen 3 camps on the same server that each had their own squad of vehicles; as a result, no more vehicles were left on the map for legit players to find. Don't feel like explaining much more, but if you want the truth message me. P.S. Don't ask how I know things :)

There may be other vehicles, but I systematically went through every vehicle in the ArmA list and test. I noted that some BAF infantry units were allowed, as well as Turkish Militia AK units. Also, Aircraft Carriers, and the other ships are allowed in game, as well as the C130 static (not a working plane, just the cargo area is accessible). Again, anyone wanting to discuss code changes or just ideas for Dayz or ArmA, please let me know. If anyone wants to collaborate on a project, I'll be interested in discussing.

Some of it is mission file editing (adding AI and objects), some are including modified files compiled in the mission init (custom loadout, bikes, zombie count, tents, etc), and some are modifications to the server files (time changes). The client files are not modified (the @DayZ folder) on the client side, but a couple of the files are re-compiled to execute the custom code (bypassing client code). Much of what happens on the server is triggered on the client side (such as Zombie spawning). If anyone wants the files or wants to discuss how to make these changes and other script changes, please let me know. I enjoy coding and testing things. I have a list of all the allowed vehicles and AI infantry (men) allowed in the game. I also have a modified dayz_anim.pbo file that removes all bans and allows all weapons, vehicles and infantry units in the game. I opted to not use it for the public server, since I don't want players to feel like they have to download custom files in order to play on the server. Also, battlEye would either have to be turned off or the BE script files modified to allow it to work, which opens it up to more hacking. I prefer to keep the game mod as close to what the creators wanted it to be and then adding things to keep it fresh.

I gun for tires on most vehicles if I don't think I can hit the driver... other wise driver period. Hit a couple tires on a bus and its worthless... they will have to egress away from it or use it for cover. As for a weak spot I am unsure

The Stormseekers have been running a private server for several months with mixed success. Currently many regulars have either stopped coming by or are too busy to play. The server has many custom changes with many more planned. The end goal is to have Clan vs Clan play as well as Mission Operations with customized scenarios and rewards. There are enemy AI and new buildings/objects on the map and the location and count will be changed weekly. No special downloads needed, everything on the server is Allowed by the DayZ standard files. Server may not show up in list, but if you filter by "StormSeekers" it should show up. We have a Ventrilo Server that anyone is welcome to join and clans can have channels setup for them. Search Tags: StormSeekers Required Mods: DayZ Custom Mission areas created and loaded with AI, custom scripts & gear. Rewards for completing the mission area. Up to 60+ Vehicles including upto 6 Hueys (default and additional spawn locations) Additional Vehicles not in regular (ie police car, different UAZs, datsun's, VWGolf, V3S, etc) Running Shadow Dukes Saintly Server w/ custom modifications Designated PvP zone (populated/high loot areas), wilderness/small towns are preferred No KoS Bandit KoS always allowed, other PKs: Self Defense, Base Defense, Dueling, Clan vs Clan, Deception) Clan vs Clan battles (also alliances & deception) Custom Initial Loadout (currently Makarov, food, hatchet, watch, map, matches) Everyone spawns with a bike (after initial character creation) Time customizable to accelerated/daytime/nighttime (currently set for normal, GMT-9 <Alaska time>) Dynamic weather or Clear weather (currently dynamic) Adjustable zombie count spawn 30-60 per player (currently set for 50/player) Zombies may mob rush players Zombies & Loot spawn while in vehicles and more frequently Automated Bus service.

150 VEHICLES SPAWNED!

That'd be good for newbies at least, yeah. But for a server like that to actually stay somewhat interesting for a longer time, we'd need waay more zombies or at least some solid objectives/missions to co-op, as it is true that the zombies alone don't provide enough threat. So there's no real need to band together and fight the real enemy as of now. But yeah, just played on RP2, a "roleplaying server" and during my 70 hours on public servers I never saw a friendly (unless he was from the forums and we met up) and now, during the 3 hours I played on their server, I saw 4 separate people on foot, came to close contact with 3 of em and talked, saw a jeep and an Ural drive right next to me and they didn't even try driving over me :I As a thank you I left 2 Jerry Cans I had found on the side of the road, incase they came back. Later on when I checked, at least the Jerries were gone. One guy did get the drop on me and told me to stop - I complied. Asked me if I'm alone etc... then didn't wanna rob anything from me as I really had nothing really valuable (just basic stuff) so he told me to run along. Safe to say he still pwned me and I didn't have to revert back an hour of progress to the coast. Now that's what I mean. It was awesome to play with people who play fair and aren't out to piss everyone off. And also awesome that it wasn't a suicide to head towards the sound of vehicles or sound of other humans. Felt way more like a real zombie apocalypse, when the whole world doesn't feel like it's filled with psychomurderers, but actual survivors.

Hello Everyone, I have been playing DayZ for quite a while now and have seen it all. Bandits, heroes, griefers and n00bs, driven every vehicle, flown a chopper, sampled every delicacy from boar to sheep, been tent city hunting and even set up some of my own and even engaged in some clan warfare and you know what....ZZZZZZZZZZ i'm done with it all. Now before you misinterpret I am not finished with this mod just yet, in fact it's quite the opposite I have decided to use my over the top stash to embark on a solo campaign to aid every mofo from the US to Europe (sorry Australia but my ping won't allow me to come there), whether they be nooblet just starting out, or some pro who recently got prison loved by some (ahem) l33t h4xxor. And with this marks the beginning of the Jack of All Trades Company, a solo effort to arm/re-arm all the fine citizens of either Chernarus or Lingor Island, be you bandit or hero or still undecided i can help YOU! I am basically offering to trade any weapon, any items, basically anything and if possible may even be able to get vehicles to those in need (with the latter obviously requiring a lot more time and effort to achieve). All you need but do is to post on here, or PM me if you feel safer that way, anything you would like and if it is within my power/stash i shall see it is yours as quickly and efficiently as possible. Though be warned, i do not service those in private hives as i will not be able to access my stash within them and for anyone on Lingor there are some servers i will not be able to service either. Now you might be thinking this is some sort of trap, let me assure you it's not, just one guy trying to make a name for himself in this cruel and desolate place, as inspired by Dr Wasteland MD and his team of medical staff. All i ask in return is something as halfway decent as what is requested e.g AKM for NVG's just won't happen, M4A3 CCO for NVG's is a little more up my alley, though i will also accept beans as a form of payment, just cause, I love beans =). I mean who doesn't, right? So this service is effective immediately and as a show of good faith i will be handing out a free pair of NVG's to the first 5 people i trade with so it might be a good idea to request something else, and if you feel satisfied with the service be sure to tell your friends and some forum bean love will also help boost confidence in future transactions. Also, one last thing, i find myself also up for a bit of bounty hunting in my spare time so if there's some douche that you want offed, PM me their name and last known server and I will do my best to ensure their end and will try to provide screenshots as trophies for you to mount on your desktop. Though let it be known i refuse to hunt hackers as Godmode is not my friend. Happy hunting to you all!

I do not know what else to say. Certain weapons/vehicles were removed from the game. There is a rule that says you can't re-introduce them to the game. Then there is a statement that says, you can't hack them in, but if you find one of the weapons that we removed, go ahead and use it. Now, my reasoning and every other SA who kick/bans reasoning is, if they removed them from the game, then they didn't want them to be used (I think everyone can agree with that, right ?) SO we ensure they are not. We can't speak for why they just don't say it, but I am using the brain I was born with.

There are loads of vehicles on the server, if you look hard. Enjoy.

I had broken bones from a zombie attack and was crawling from the western outskirts of elektro to the hospital it was afternoon on a quiet server my friend accidentally hit respawn and was on his way to his body so i was prettymuch on my own. i had a silenced m4, a silenced m9 and an alicepack with decent loot. crawling slowly avoiding players and zeds as i near the hospital i crossed the street crawling. When i heard what sounded like a makarov fire in a distance my heart started pounding "not too far now.." i said to my self. then i shot the glass of the hospital with my m4 silent but the glass wouldnt break... "Damn! what shuld i do" i decided to crawl to the side going towards the back where the ladder was..when i was shot by a makarov from behind.. "dont shoot im friendly... i have broken leg" i said. i was sure it was the end for me.. few seconds later i heared the glass infront of the hospital breaking.. "it must be my shooter looting" so i continued to crawl towards the back not giving up just yet. when from behind me the player appeared holding his axe and was looking at me. "dont kill me man i have broken leg" i said "ok just dont point that weapon at me" he said. I kept on my way to the ladder with him following me as I got up the roof I glithced in the corner and somehow fell 3 storeys down. I was sure i was dead and i see him looting my body.. but then I lived and my legs was all healed up. This stranger saved my life. I said "thanks so much u saved my life!" i continued to climb the ladder to the roof with him following me as we reached the roof a bullet ricochet on the concrete near my foot... amazed I asked whats goin on? then another.. followed by a loud distant bang from the hills "SNIPER! follow me or youll die" he said.. we hid in the corner for few moments thinking of our options.. "do you have smoke grenade" he asked "sorry i dont" "we can risk running to the ladder but one of us will probaby get shot or we can jump off and heal each other below" before I was able to reply he headed to the corner and jumped.."wait" i said hes crazy..then at the bottom left of my screen i saw a player has died i felt sad but thought I may still be able to save him like he did to me. So i ran to the ladder ignoring the sniper bullets just missing me. at the front of the hospital i saw his body bleeding still on standing position in his hands a makarov. flies already started buzzing around him i felt sad and guilty that this person saved my life, died as a result and all i can do was check his body for loot. I stayed there for a moment when.. "i see you" a voice said. it was my friend who respawned and got his gear.. i told him about this random guy that i met and saved my life.. i cant remember his name but is was probabbly matty or something close. and if you are reading this i would like to thank you and meeting you made a great but sad story. this dayz experience was unique and something ill remember for all my dayz life me and my friend ended up fixing a uaz finding another 2 vehicles at set up our very first camp in the forests.. and after a week i still couldnt help but think about this guy its people like him that makes this game great! and i thank you for it! :)

It doesn't help having Vilayer decide to merge private and public hives together one day and separate them the next, but the server is back up and private again. Everyone now has the gear/tents/vehicles that they had a few days ago.

I'm willing to support this... I can provide vehicles on over 17 servers and provide you with almost any sort of gear.

I doubt that. I've never played a game in which hacking was so rampant. Even Counter Strike had its handful of players cheating, but this is ridiculous. Not only does a player have to deal with death by teleportation, falling from the sky, or left out in the middle of the ocean, but the server becomes ruined once the vehicles are placed in mystical locations never to spawn again even on a restart. The only luck I've had without being scripterized, is playing on servers in which the player count was in the single digits. If Arma had the ability to stream to Pbbans or the ability to check a players history for prior violations or global bans, it would at least give you some tools to combat it or further investigate a player. Alas, it's an Alpha....

did you read the info under support ?? '' ! IMPORTANT WARNING REGARDING GLOBAL BANS ! If you are globally banned, read the following rules before sending in a support request. If you don't follow these rules your request/e-mail will be ignored! Otherwise your individual case will be carefully investigated. Note however that you will not receive a response if the evidence clearly indicates that you or someone else using your cd-key cheated. This doesn't mean that you are being ignored, it simply means that your ban won't be lifted. No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored. It doesn't matter if you only cheated on your own private server. Cheating on BE-enabled servers is forbidden, period. A shared or stolen cd-key is no excuse. It's your own responsibility to ensure that no one else has access to it. Include your exact (!) global ban ID. The ID is shown in your global ban message ("Global Ban #ID"). If you don't include it your request will be ignored. Do not tell stories. Whatever you are saying about yourself or your situation won't matter. The only thing that matters is the evidence that is gathered for every global ban issued. Do not ask for the evidence behind your ban. No details about it will be revealed. Hackers would love to have access to this information. Do not beg for mercy. If you cheated you will have to live with the consequences. Global bans are permanent and no exceptions will be made. Questions regarding how exactly to get unbanned will be ignored. No support will be given on how to buy a new game or change your cd-key. Again, if you don't follow these rules your request will be ignored! ''

Bit of a shame i was flying a heli then :( :lol: Ah well i spawned back in the game minus the heli but found a nice stash of 5 of vehicles and i might have just borrowed one for now so if someone is missing there nice shiny UAZ it was me :P

Fun fact the L85A2 AWS is a made up thing. The sight model on it is a CWS which is just a horribley crap out of date NV sight. The thermal ability is based on VIPIR which looks different, eats AA and AAA batteries like they are going out of fashion but is almost as awesome as the thermal in game. When I was still serving VIPIR was like rocking horse shit we had 3 in an entire Infantry company (although as armoured we may have had a smaller allocation as all our vehicles had thermal)

Keep up the great work with the standalone, there's no shortage of interest! Though the one last thing I guess many would like to see fixed in the alpha mod, before it is sidelined, is vehicles and crash sites appearing again. Perhaps the private hive gurus might have an idea what's up. In 1.7.2.5 I found vehicles often enough, but after not finding a single instance for over two weeks in central hive servers after 1.7.2.6 came out, I lost much of the remaining incentive to play. As one guy called it, "Run With Flares Simulator 2012" isn't quite as much fun on a 225 sq km map.

Character location and inventory is not stored server side. It is stored on the public hive which they (Rocket and associated others) have direct access to. I believe even tents and vehicle inventory is stored on the hive as well (I could be wrong on this part but this is based on the admins inability to do a server wipe of tents and equipment). What this means is all they need is a simply monitoring script that runs through the database (or happens during specific events such as login, logout, inventory access of tents and vehicles) and removes any equipment that is not supposed to be there. While this doesn't directly address the hackers it does help protect innocent players from rampaging admins who think that just because you have a scripted in weapon you MUST be a hacker and deserve a ban. Which, is against the TOU according to Rocket himself.

AS50 is better. You can use the NATO rounds for vehicles and then the M107 mag in it for people. Like people listed above, less recoil, quieter etc..

KoS, a survivor is just a bandit who likes to pretend they are nice (I am kidding of course, they just have not had the opportunity to become jaded yet). On lingor, hang out around Calamar and look for trouble. The mansion overlooking the airfield in Calamar is a good place to start, or on the hill that leads away from the city (near the airfield). Pretty much look for people camping the airfield, but banditry on Lingor is not as easy to pinpoint because the entire map has places to go and loot that are worth the trip. I play as a bandit on there (because that is what that map is for) and kill people from a hill near the prison. I stay right near the road to see vehicles coming (I have a satchel charge on the road) and there is really no reason to approach from behind because someone running a non road route will likely come from the Southwest.

dammit, that was one of the best vehicles...ive missed driving that thing.
