I've seen tons of vehicles. I can't repair any though. For some reason. (these are the repairable ones I'm talking about, and yes I have toolbox though you don't need it in 1.7.2.6 as of now)

Obviously, lets let hackers roam free, dupers dupe without regard, bugs sit and lie cause fuck all these problems with tents, they don't affect anyone. Who cares about glitches with vehicles, getting the standalone out.Who needs important things done honestly? Lets just slack off and let chicks dress up as bushes. Why? Cause this obviously comes before all that.

We have exactly the same problem on our Vilayer Public Hive server. The very first time the server started one of us checked all the possible Heli spawns starting at Skalisty Island. Nobody else had been on the server. The huey is not loading but other vehicles are (checked the logs). We have even destroyed other vehicles thinking it might be a global vehical limit stopping it from spawning but no luck there either. Over 7 days have passed and no Huey has spawned. :( Actually, just a thought... Would reverting the server back to 1.7.2.5 force whatever logic is preventing the Huey from spawning to reset? - maybe then it might spawn? I just remember the issues with the previous version where vehicles would not save but revert back to their spawn after each server restart.

I've always said this kind of thing was great, but you got me thinking more. Here's my version. Before you spawn in, you are given choices as to what you want. You can wear hats, masks, glasses, shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, hairstyles/skin color, and make-up. Say we give players some basic articles of clothing. Then we add some patterns you can put on them. And give them color palettes and allow them to color the pattern. What have we got? We have: 1. Uniforms- Hell ya! 2. Identity- No way am I mistaking my teammate with a bandit douche anymore. 3. Personality- Yep. 4.Callsigns- Say friendlies wore white bandanas in that server? 5. Disguises- Take their clothes and wear them, impersonating them. This might be done more on women than men. (cross-dressing would be cool) 6. Basic camo- Always good. 7. You got what you wanted- There's nothing better. Examples of hats- beanies, baseball caps, jeff caps, fadoras, cowboy hats, berets, and skullcap, hardhat, hood (needs hoodie). Say now you can put decals on some of these. Examples of masks- half-mask, balclava, scarf, gasmask, surgeon mask, scarf, ski-cap, welding mask. Examples of glasses- sunglasses, safety goggles, ski-goggles, prescription glasses, monicle. Examples of wigs- clown wig, toupee, anime, bald cap. Examples of shirts- collared, polo, tank-top, t-shirt, flannel -Longsleeves- basically the same & sweatshirt/sweaters. Examples of jackets- hoodie, vest, winter jacket, rain coat, wind-breaker, military, leather jacket. Examples of pants- shorts, cargos, jeans, sweatpants, chinos, trousers. Examples of socks- really? Examples of shoes- tennis, sneakers, boots, rainboots, hiking, athletic, cleats, basketball, sandals, flip-flops- barefoot. Include a spectrum as well as palettes, and patterns such as- tiger stripe, plaid, cross-stitch, victorian, stripe, camo, paint-splatters. Decals such as- words and letters for sports teams, symbols like animals and vehicles ect. Details such as- rips, tears, patches, distressed, wrinkles, dirt, burns, ect. That and then basic to advanced facial customization. Amazing.

zombies dont notice people in vehicles :) if you are in a car sitting in a town they dont spawn either (same goes for loot) correct me if i am wrong :P

US 4 is now a public private hive server. 20 vehicles spawned and one clan [TAC] ready to engage in clan vs clan warfare. Come and join us on US 4. P.S.-If you get kicked when you join the first time, try again. If the problem persists then close DayZ commander and re-join.

Absolutely go for it! The content is really nice! BAF vehicles and units are superb and the same goes for the "Proving Grounds" Map from PMC. They also add some interesting single and multiplayer scenarios as well. It's definitely worth it ;)

We have a brand new Vilayer Chernarus private hive with password protection server up and running and are looking for mature like minded individuals to come join us! The server settings are resets 3 times a day, Veteran diff: 3D on, CH: on, and death messages: on with 30 vehicles including 3 helicopters. We would like to do a little Role Playing within the server including a trading post we have set up in Cherno where we hope to have friendly weapons free trading, Fight Night at the Colosseum where players can bet on fighters, and Rally Racing at the Strip. These events will be for ALL server members where they can enjoy the spectacles in a cease fire, friendly atmosphere. Josh and myself are VERY active admins that are always easy to get a hold of and work hard to ensure that everyone's experience is as smooth as possible. We would like to invite clans of around 5 members or less, lone wolves and survivors that are looking to make a name for themselves in this unforgiving land. We (admins) also plan on sending out "S.O.S" transmissions across global chat describing search and rescue helicopter crash sites giving all a chance to investigate. We really want to go all out with this server to make your Dayz story one that you won't soon forget. Please feel free to contact us with a little information about you (Clans members, please have your clan leader contact us) such as your age, play style, and what you want out of your Dayz experience and any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you all soon and getting you up and running on a server you can finally put your mind to rest regarding script kiddies. *** The application process will include a private call via Skype with both admins to gather more information for "white listing" you into the server Please feel free to contact myself or Josh (Killaspree28) with any questions, comments or concerns.

A loot map of Chernarus is on the horizon guys. The underlying framework for toggling loot/building/vehicles locations is done. Think DayZDB and DayZWiki maps B) All that is left to do is position every single location on the map... Yeah, as you can imagine this will take a while, but with the help from Shinfo (the man who made the graphics for the Reddit subreddit), we should be able to power through this.

Also vehicles that are left untouched for 7 days will also despawn.

Vehicles off the map will be despawned after server restart, AFAIK.

I've had them and they are on the map. The pbx is excellent but rare. It has only one spawning point and in my experience is rarely on a server, and I've looked! Fishing boats you find along the coast. There's a map of possible locations of vehicles and how often they spawn - does not mean they spawn on every restart or on every server. Hang on let me see if I can find the page. No could only find this info. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles Does anyone else know which page or map lists the statistics on the chances of each vehicle spawning? I can't find it. Would be helpful here. Thanks. :thumbsup: I forgot to say: You can hide vehicles anywhere on or off map once you have them but the moment a helicopter sees it you can kiss it goodbye.

Just wondering... been looking a long time for PBX or fishing boat. I mean, I understand they are sorta rare but I have a feeling they either aren't spawning or are off map. Mikkall

well we just have 4 vehicles on our camp for a clan of ten people and we'd really I mean really like to have a chopper, maybe it's overrated but who knows and it's kind of a deal breaker to be told by VILAYER they don't have control over vehicles and not recieve any answer of the people controlling the hive

^ This is the important part for me as well. What weapons are in this private hive? What vehicles are up? What's the population like? How many people during peak hours?

Thanks for the info! On respawning vehicles

Restarts do spawn vehicles. If they've been destroyed for the mandatory 7 days, the next restart will spawn it.

I don't think restarts respawn vehicles. There on timers once there destroyed or out in the woods in someone camp saved

So if I save my tent with, lets say a DMR on the first reset and I go on a holiday of 5 days, the DMR would still be in the same tent if I came back? Presumingly if it hasnt been stolen or my tent destroyed by that ofcourse. And do vehicles work the same way like this?

Did I say every single one? No, I didn't. I simply said that it should be a CHANCE to find a working GPS in vehicles, because, as you know, many vehicles have GPS'.

There happens to be a few things that DayZ is missing. First off, its official map lacks a certain aesthetic element. Police stations. There's fire stations a plenty (without fire trucks?), but not a single police station. I've never heard of a modern community that didn't have a need for police. Even third world countries have police! But not a single police zombie. Not a single station. Radios. The ability to try and meet other players at a safe distance would give us a chance to gauge the other person before meeting up. This may help with the constant "let's kill everyone, don't trust anyone" philosophy that the game suffers from. More varied outfits starting outfits. I mean seriously, blue outfits are going to screw the wearer. There's nothing that says shoot me quite like wearing a bright blue American MAILMAN costume! Where's the blue jeans? Where's the jackets? Where's shorts and Hawaiian shirts? More civilian outfits chosen at start -- but consistently rendered among others. There's nothing like seeing I'm wearing black, hiding against black, and someone else sees me wearing bright blue. Or hiding against something blue because I see myself wearing blue, and they see a black outfit. We could use more outfits in general, including more genuine military uniforms with helmets, police uniforms, priest outfits, etc., etc., etc. This would actually help increase the role playing and "drama" aspect introduced in the trailer. For example if someone got a police uniform, they might be more inclined to try and play as police. If someone got a soldier's uniform, they might play as a soldier wiping out the infection or group up with other soldiers to perform actual operations. Hero and Bandit costumes are good ideas. But if you change your outfit, who is going to know? I think instead of a full costume, that the player should have something a little more universal. Such as a bandit always having a mask. Though not so sure about heroes. I encourage more official maps and a different hive for each. Vehicles. Way too many of the servers have that no vehicle bug. Permission and/or a license that can be found and used for monetizing well made videos promoting the game on youtube. There's plenty more, I'm sure, and no doubt the community will add it here. It's my hope that this community will keep this thread active and that it will be seen by Rocket and BI.

Hello im kinda new to DayZ and I have a question, I just found 2 tents from a dead guy in NWAF and I set 1 up fairly close to the Airfield to store some items. I then get a message that the server is about to restart within a few minutes so I pressed "Save Old Camping Tent", after filling it, I set up the other tent near it, few seconds later my session was lost because of the reset, but I did NOT save it. Few moments later, I logged back in and both of my tents were still there! Even the one I didnt save. So how do tents work exactly? Me and my buddies tried to find a server with 1 restart per day, cause we didnt want to save tents every 3 hours per day to save the contents.. So, what does Saving Tents actually do? Saves the tent? The contents? Or both? And for how long does one "Save Old Camping Tent" last? For 1 reset or couple? Cause I dont know why people would join a server with 6 resets per day.. You cant have any vehicles and/or tents then (prosuming vehicles work the same way..) Because, who is crazy enough to save every 3 hours per day? Im really confused about this and I hope somebody can shine some light in this for me. =) Regards, Preddie

What is the deal with the long server resets anyways? I had a chopper for a little while on a vilayer server and crashed it. After the server restart I was unable to find it again, been to all the spawn points. I concede the possibility that someone has hidden it off map, and while I've explored out there a little bit, I did not find it. My group and I even took the PDX to the island off map to check for the chopper. My bigger complaint/concern is the long server restart times. Why does the server need to be 5 days old? All the crash loot is gone, we've destroyed a number of vehicles by accident and on purpose. I've personally destroyed the UAZ, a off-road pickup, a hatch back, two ATVs, two Buses and a hippy van. We also have destroyed a few peoples camps. With the long reset times, doesn't leave me much ability to fix and repair fresh spawned vehicles.

Is this the case again with loot, when you run, You don't get spawn triggers? But when you walk, a normal spawn? Vehicles can alter this also, driving too fast into a spawn point won't spawn stuff? You gotta then run away and go back for spawns. I got this all the time on maps, Zeds are a give away too when spawns trigger. From a conversion POV all them buildings and its gonna take time to set up spawns for gear and stuff. I would expect all millitary buildings to spawn regardless. Out of interest, what are the other 13 maps? anyone have a clue? Waiting for DayZ Commander for this, so the community can catch up.
