We currently have 3 ViLayer servers. One is on Chernarus, which sounds like what you're talking about. The ural does spawn, we found ours up near Skalka. However, I blew it up almost 2 weeks ago and it has not come back. We've found tons of vehicles. 3 UAZ, 2 white 4x4, a couple GAZs, 2 motorcycles, and a bunch of other cars. However, we never had a heli spawn. Have you checked all the car spawns shown on DayZdb? If you have checked them and that's all you found, I'd say it sounds like an issue. ViLayer is releasing a clean up script that will allow you to reset your server so you get fresh vehicle spawns.

My Dayz experience goes as follows. >Play as a legit survivor, doing nothing but lone wolfing it through the wilderness, looking for loot and cooked meat >Get bored of lone wolf, join a group of players >gradually become bored of normal survival. Gradually become a bandit >get bored of normal banditry and fall to 12.7mm snipe timez >get bored of sniping n00bz at coast >start countersniping coastal snipers and begin caring more about player interaction than pk'ing >go insane and start sharing my high-val resources and vehicles with newspawns I have no fucking idea what i'm going to do after I get bored of my current way of playing.

@Denalb I noticed your fixes for vehicles and wanted to let you know it may be conflicting with something. I parked a jeep I had mostly fixed up (Engine orange but rest were light yellow/green) and hopped out and waiting a few moments after saving then logged out for a server restart that was about 3 minutes away. I came back and it was pretty busted up and luckily I had an extra 2 tires in the back (they weren't destroyed but it drove like crap). Does anyone else have this issue on the server or was it just a fluke for me?

First off I just want to thank developers for creating a brilliant game! So few ideas are -punch/kick (when you spawn and have f all it would be cool if you could punch n kick, even if it does sod all damage, just adds to the realism and can give you vital seconds to escape chasing zombies if you crack them in the face!) -blowtorch, wire cutters etc (would be cool to be able to use a blow torch to weld perhaps metal fence poles/steel pipes etc on vehicles to create a deadly vehicle) -more interaction with environment (just to make it more realistic the ability to pick up stones/sticks, chairs in houses, even tear off planks of wood from small barns to make firewood etc) -player stats( to have a levelling system where ur ranked on kills, survival days,shot accuracy etc similar to cod games) -ability to combine items (so if you find a rag, petrol, empty bottle you can combine to make molotov, or if you find c4 old mobile phone etc make a bomb etc.) -zombie AI( this is what my least favourite thing is, would be cool to see them tryna grab you, bite you etc instead of all being generic swiping at you) ID friendlies( so once you meet other players you can add a tag to them so if you encounter then again it displays if they friendlies or bandits etc) Shovel. (would be good if you could find a bag and put stuff in it you don't need and be able to bury it for later by using shovel) Glass shard-( if you have no guns it would be sweet if you could smash a window and pick up a glass shard to use as a weapon, however If you don't have an 'old rag' or something you lose health whn u use it cos it cuts ur hand, unles u have a rag to combine with the shard to hold it). I'm sure I could go on forever as this tripe of game has no limits on the possibilities of expansion :) Great work guys!

Beside finding a solution for this (maybe) problem, could you write me how it was on your server? Did your chopper spawn instantly with the other vehicles or was there a delay and if yes, how long was it?

This server is for DayZ players with a survivalist mentality. We encourage positive interactions with players, therefore we have set up a green zone in the cherno/electro area to give new spawns a fighting chance and all players a place to meet in a safe environment, be it to trade in safety or to meet with others. We also ask bandits to play there role in a more creative/constructive manner than on your average public server, killing a player for no reason at all or even personal gain is not what were about. We like the idea of people being held up by someone for their gear, or a gunfight starting after a failed robbery attempt. This style of play excites us a lot more than sniping Electro to "kill n00bs".

Im from the US on the east coast, im 31 yrs old. I play very aggresive and usually KOS. I see lots of other clans recruiting here but nothing that really fits me. I am elite status and have special skills. I dont want to join a clan just to be a recruit and be told i cant have a coke from a vehicle. This is just a game and i play it as a game. I dont kill clan mates. I dont care about tents or vehicles but just want to play with a fun group and kill other players. I play every evening after 5 pm eastern time and all weekend long non stop. DayZ is the only game i play.

I'm looking for a reliable/trustworthy survivors that are getting tired of lone wolfing it. I'd like to set up a camp somewhere and start searching for better gear. From our camp HQ we can look for some vehicles or crash sites only dipping in to town if it's absolutely necessary. I have 0 kills in this game (I have a problem with delayed KOS), so perhaps we could do some bandit hunting as well. We have some work cut out for us. I am currently armed (primary and secondary) with some good medical gear, no food, plenty of drinks, and a half-full toolbelt. I'm 23 and living on the East Coast of the US (NY). I usually play evenings and nights and the occasional mornings. This doesn't need to be anything serious, just some casual goal setting. PM me or reply if this sounds like something you'd like to do or you are a clan member that would like to have me.

I'm sorry it may be already discussed in other topics , which are very hard to understand since everyone says something different . I've got a few questions about this host , and yes I already have got a server from them , and eventho everything seems to work as intended , even debug mode seem to function correctly after some reinstalls - still .. 1) is the amount of vehicles only 30 max ? And what can be done to increase it ? 2) is Ural spawns on any of the vilayer servers ? Or it's a global problem cause it just won't appear . 3) after reading the forums I've got into server logs and found the vehicle spawns , most of them (14) to be exact are bikes the others are kinda hard to find or just do not even spawn . We spent 2 days on searching so far and found only 3 cars and 2 choppers , seems like they are not spawned at all . I would love answers from people that host on vilayer as well , but don't mind any help willing people to make an input on this . Thanks a lot in advance !

I disagree with the statement that only the first save works (and in fact, the first save up until the next server reboot is always the most likely time to lose your items). First saves seemed to be permanent in the 1.7.1.5 patch but the bug seems to have been corrected in 1.7.2.6. (I skipped the 1.7.1.5 hotfix patch entirely because it broke tents/vehicles and fixed nothing so I can't comment much on how tents were in that patch) I've been playing this game since early may and I can tell you with certainty that subsequent saves after the "first" save are working fine (for the most part, like I said, sometimes tents can be buggy and lose items at random). In general, once you have a tent that has saved items through a server restart it will usually work fine from there on. Saving the tent multiple times may or may not even matter (I do it) but I suspect the most important thing is time. Wait a bit after saving a tent before you log out, it seems if you log out to soon, (before your save data gets transfered from your server to the Hive) those items can be lost. Here is my tent routine. Place tent Save it a few times. Chuck one random item in the tent and save a couple times (mainly for my own curiosity, this step is not necessary). Go on my way. After server restart check the tent (sometimes the random item is gone sometimes it is not, really does not matter which. Sometimes the tent is even gone) It happens, it's not a mistake on your part, it's just the buggy nature of the hive database. Add all my gear to the tent and save. From here it's usually smooth sailing. If you take items from the tent and do not save afterward, those items will be back in the tent next server restart (Exploit) If you take items from the tent and save afterward, those items will not be back in the tent next server restart. Also, occasionally when a server restarts, all tents and vehicles will fail to spawn at all. They will be back next restart, you just have to wait it out (I've gotten into the habit of logging out at a tent so that when I restart my server I can quickly log in and make sure tents/vehicles have spawned properly).

Oh that sux... Yeah looks to me like it's legit, maybe other servers have it turned off or something. But I don't think it's on the blacklist from all ARMA 2 vehicles. This thing is probably the best car in the game. -Built in GPS !!!!! -fits up to 6 people (at least it has 6 seats, haven't tested it) -high speed on road (fastest I think, bit faster then the GAZ) -good speed off road -very silent engine !! -dunno about the items yet but my guess is the "standard" 10/50/2 (gonna check that later) ps. yes near Novy Lug! In the field(ish) next to a single house with a roof above it. Realy hard to spot!! (if hackers did it it wouldn't be on the same spot...)

Thank you both for your suggestions. I will try them today when I'm back on! Also, do the same issues arise with vehicle item storage? We tend to blow up vehicles fairly fast lol

to need to resort to hacking in a tank (armored/weaponized hummvee) to teleport to and kill a rabbiting Carebear like myself. well apparently Hackers have become so lame and piss poor at dayz they need to spawn in vehicles to help with killing non-PVP players now.. fucking sad..indeed.. this scenario happened last nite will skirting the edge of the map in abondoned towns in Northern Takistan. total epic /facepalm moment.. we have hit a new alltime low for DayZ im afraid..

Hi, first of thank you for reading this. I really hope this gets approved and implemented into the game. This post is all about Base Camps and some improvements and addons to them. [Names with ' ' next to them are items that are in the game, or have to be added.] 1.Entrances or Gates: Gates are used for when you set up a base camp. This allows players to Fence of an Area with Wire Fencing, Sandbags and Tank traps and still have and entrance to the camp. The probleme is everyone second guy can open the 'Gate'. So you have to find a 'Lock' for you gate. This 'Lock' comes with a key that can open and close the 'Lock'. But what if you have Friends that want access to your Base but you are offline. 'Key Machine' is the anwser to your problemes. with this machine you can make spare keys buy using 'Metal' . Gates with really help players trying to keep there finding save from bandits, and whats beter that a Gate with a Lock and Key. 2.'Power Generator' and Lights: After you have made your Base Camp, Light is proberly needed. What better than an normal light. With this you will need to find 'Power Generators' this is the source of your power. The 'Power Generator' is connected to the 'Lights' around your base camp. 'Lights' can be place on diffrent stuff around the base to light it up. You can get 'Poles' that can be put up around the base and 'Lights' can be hanged from them. Just to make things a little hard, you will need 'Cable' To connected all the lights to each other and the 'Power Generator'. The lenght of an 'Cable' will be 10m each. If your 'Lights' are more than 10m apart you can put down the 'Cable' and connect them together by dragging them on the ground. 'Power Generators' will need Fuel to be used. 1 'Jerry Can' is equal to 20L of Fuel. A 'Power Generator' can Run 5 hours with 1 'Jerry Can' of Fuel. 3. Cover: Cover is a Key to survive in this Game. If you have your base and you have a 'Vehicle'. Or even you just have a 'Vehicle' that you want to hide. 'Car Camo' can be used to put over your 'Vehicle' and hide it. This camo looks just like a 'Ghillie Suit' and will hide your 'Vehicle'. This will make the 'Vehicle' harder to see and spot. The Catch is that you cannot drive with the 'Car Camo' on. This means that you will have to take it of first. More Info on the Images and Objects: 'Gate' - It's like the Gates at the Army Camps. It looks like a normal gate with Wire Fencing on it. It has two doors that open outwards. Big enought so that the Biggest vehicle can fit through. 'Lock' - An Item you pick up. It can be used to lock your Gate. But need a key. You will need to make a key with a Key Machine. Locks can not be places without their key. 'Key' - This is used for opening and closing locks. Not every key can be used, you need to use the original or copy key. Keys are placed on your belt. When you make a key or clone one a thing will popup and ask for a name this is how you know which key is which. 'Key Machine' - It's is used to Make a Key and Clone a Key. How key making works is you put the Key Machine Down then you put the Lock in your inventory with metal and click on Make Key button this will generate a key for the lock on your belt. if you have more than 1 lock in your inventory it wont work. How Cloning works is, you need the key on your belt then have some metal in your inventory and click on clone key. 'Metal' - is used to make and clone keys. 'Lights' - Can be hung and places to poles, trees, floor and tents. Lights require Power Generator to work, and a Cable going to the Power Gererator, 1 Cable can be sent to a light, the rest of the lights can be hooked up together and everything will get power. 'Power Generator' - used to power lights. 'Cable' - Is used to connected light to lights and power generators to lights. 'Pole' - This is a long pole than is placed into the ground where you can put your light on it. 'Car Camo' - Can be places over a Vehicle to make it harder to see. All these Suggestions is for the stand alone game but if so wish can be put into the Mod game. Suggestion 1 and 2 are really hoped for, it will make the game more fun and help to set protect your vehicles and items from bandits and thiefs. Suggestion 3 is just a small idea i came up with, its really not needed. I Hope you guys like my ideas. And i hope to see them in the Stand Alone Game. If there is any Questions feel free to ask me. :)

This is a story of a moment which was all too perfect, if I had a sniper rifle or something at the time, it may have been a bit more successful, none the less, I had a great time. So! After recently returning to this game I hopped on to a server, looted around a bit till I got a Lee Enfield not long after picking it up I spotted a player running straight towards me, I noticed he was armed so I took aim and fired, 3 shots later he was down, quickly picked up his binoculars and AKM (300m zeroed) and took off. Around thirty uneventful minutes later I watched the side chat of this server, two players were discussing trading vehicles.. I kept a close eye on the conversation, overtime I had a rough guess at where they might make the trade so I began my run towards the north easterly side of the map. There was only 6 players online in the server, team of two, team of three and myself. I hadn't said a word so they must have felt comfortable with saying the trade location. 'Meet at the gas station on the road heading north out of Polana'. The race was on, I was running blind without a map, but in the general direction I figured was Polana. I was racing against a tractor+an ATV that were starting from the north west. Around 10 minutes later, I found a sign by a road which said something in Russian, for whatever reason I thought it said Polana, I was right! I ran within the treeline of the road until the trees stopped suddenly into a bare field. Zombies were right in front of me, it scared the hell out of me IRL but I slowly crept back in the treeline when I noticed that the zombies were from a gas station. I checked my compass and the road was heading north/south. This is it! I followed the tree line west and then south so I could get a perfect view of the road, granted, it was 1000m~ away. I could see the bus and the tractor facing each other. The player with the tractor was very nervous about the trade as the players with the bus took a long time choosing a location to trade (setting up overwatch for sure!), although they explained it got a flat tyre. I carefully scanned the edge of the treeline I was in, no one watching from here. I watched as the player with the tractor try and fix the buses tyre. When I was finished looking through my binoculars I pulled out my AKM and began taking pop shots, instantly the reaction from the tractorman popped up on sidechat 'WTF DONT SHOOT!' I could see a small figurine running around the bus as I continued to spray into the bus. After I expended around 20 bullets I began running for a new position, all the while laughing irl. I spotted a small shrub/tree line heading east back towards the road, I went prone and began to make my slow way forward when I saw on the chat 'wth cant believe u took this long to double cross me', as I finished reading that I watched a tractor flying down the road towards Polana. That was the end of that trade. I continued to make my way slowly down towards the bus, after 15 long minutes I got within good view of the bus as I lay inside a bush near the road. I waited.. and waited.. getting pretty tired irl.. no one had come to the bus.. so I made my move, I ran to the bus noticed I couldn't check its gear (later found out you had to be a passenger), disapponted, I ran on the side of the bus and shot out every tyre when suddenly other shots rang past me, I had no idea where, but I knew I had been beaten. Patience was key! I died, not disappointed whatsoever as I couldn't have imagined a better way to go. Thanks to the players in this scenario! TL;DR: I had fun! Do you have a perfect bandit moment?!

The first link looks good but I couldn't see where in that .fsm file he stops vehicles from being teleported. People in the comments were saying it does not work as well. Can someone explain how "playableUnits = [player,""test2""];" \n "allUnits = [player,""test2""];" \n "vehicles = [""test1"",""test2""];" \n "allMissionObjects = [""test1"",""test2""];" \n would prevent that? I've never written scripts for DayZ, so maybe it makes sense to yall. The second link looks really good!

4 would be exact max number for 1 person when refueling vehicles. You can spam the refuel xxx and it will dump all 4 can in 5 second or so with only 1 animation. Then refil all jerrycans in 0.1second and repeat. Again for more people more cans. ps I wonder what would these vehicles look like when they are full... 50 jerry cans in atv :D http://hubgarage.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/863027/funny-car-pictures-24_1__detail.jpg

Oh shuddap you two. Noone has to cater to your playstyles because what else is their to do on this game? Sure getting vehicles and doing random shit is fun, but knowing you killed someone who spent maybe countless hours getting gear is just... amazing LOL. May sound cruel but its the truth xD.

Most servers need two restarts to get the tents and vehicles back, its very rare but not impossible for a hacker to de-spawn camps

We have a similar issue on our server, hacker turned up, teleported the tents and all vehicles out into the sea and insta-killed us all. The server provider said we would get the vehicles back 'shortly' but that was over a week ago. Anyway, a hacker came on last night and teleported all the missing vehicles back onto the map and then was killed after being observed teleporting over the map [we have about 10 active admins in server pretty much all the time] so when he accused one of combat logging and demanded we ban him, he was removed and the hacked guns buried. I checked the server logs this morning and it states that 2 UH1H have been spawned but where we simply do not know as the server provider will not allow the chap who's paying for the server check the files to ensure its not spawned back out in the sea. We run a sanctuary server so expected more ability to run it as admins.

Ghillie suit bug. It's happened to me and many, many other players before. When you log off, don't be prone or crouched, don't be clipping any tree branches, walls, tents, vehicles etc (ie be standing up and clear of your surrounding objects and fauna), this will lessen the chances of it happening.

I was wondering if I save a car up north and the server resets will the car be gone? thanks :)

its true that hackers ruined what dayz was. it used to be a kick to be in the midst of nowhere up north, bumping into others like that and generally feeling your character was "alive" even when logged out. hackers - and by that i mean insta killers/teleporters in this case - devolved dayz into the kind of game they came from if you think about it. Now everyones at cherno/elektro and there seems little reason to struggle with the emotional toil of this game in that way. if you have a long hard think over it, the folks who just join server after server killing all people, then going through all the black screens and waiting just to do it again, you really have to wonder right? maybe it's just 2 or 3 people doing that. maybe it's one. one complete shithead who hates how he is nothing and tries to impact the universe this way since its all he can do. it would be possible for one person to spend every waking moment of their pathetic life going down the most popular servers doing this over and over. So in that case, its possible only 5 or so people are doing it. are these abnormal people? shunned somehow? are they offended by the masochism and realism of the game on a personal level? either this theory or the theory that a powerful entertainment company is using hard tactics to pursuade gamers to get back on the maintrack. i noticed that since the tents and vehicles were "fixed", now it is common to come across all vehicles and tents drawn to one location (magnet) and then the tents run over. i'm sure that guy or guys is doing it on every server. the beauty of it is that there are still so many players. we keep coming back. we will buy standalone and by the grace of snackbar its gonna be secure

i know this game is still work in progress and that there are bugs and hackers but..........if a server restarts and after that a camp with 10 tents and 3 vehicles are just gone i think something went wrong then.the reset took place on the night from friday on saturday (gmt+1).i hope you can fix that.

This is why I play on a private hive, the one I am playing on has duping fixed (including food duping) hacking pretty much eliminated, combat logging removed with the implementation of a log out timer, debug/hud icons working together and humanity not restarting, new vehicles, two hueys among other fixes/changes and as a result is constantly full, it was advertised on Reddit which you would think would make it a larger target for cheaters too but so far I haven't had any problems. http://www.reddit.co...t_to_be_played/ There are many other similar privates hives popping up too. Maybe it's best that the mods future/updates etc become community driven so Rocket can spend all his time focussing on standalone, you can argue this is already happening.
