To start off, I'm a complete noob at this. I'm running Server US 1388 through host altitude. Today is the first day my server has been up, and i've been trying to work all the kinks out, but I've run into a problem...a big one that I definitly need to know how to fix. So the server has been up all day, have had relatively no issues, until around 1600-1630 Centeral US time. We had a hacker join and he started ruining peoples day. He was doing some pretty bad hacking too, teleporting around, god mode, shooting everyone. Stealing all the vehicles on the server and teleporting them to unkown locations and saving them there. Well after I tried to open the server log to see who it was...I had no idea what I was looking at. Some of the examples from other posts on how to identify something sucpicious didn't help with what i'm seeing, these are my logs currently: if (!isDedicated) then { _config = configFile >> "CfgLoot"; _config1 = conf" 16.09.2012 17:00:32: Len4ik (87.117.190.69:2304) 2e812e278a45f11800412b487f9e1d9e - #131 "#line 1 "z\addons\dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf" Sometimes it will give a name, but I have no idea what they are doing, so I tried the createvehicle log and this is what I got: 16.09.2012 17:00:54: oBud 9e7776b1617b9d4fe8d0ecf90657bbbd - #0 "Sniper1_DZ" 119:4 [0,0,0] Which it's like that for all players, nothing sucpicious from there....so I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong or if there is something I need to view more than what it is showing, because my logs show who ever the play was and it's between two players on the server but I wont start a witch hunt, and have someone who was innocent of crimes that someone else commited, burned at a stake. How do I view the files corretly so I can take the nessesary actions next time to stop a hacker. On a side note, how do I force respawn all the vehicles through my server controls since you can save vehicles to certain locations and said asshole decided to make them all go far, far away???? I am very new to this and I apologise for being a noob, but you have to start somewhere, and with no answers I am asking other server admins if they can help at all. If you need any other information from me just ask and I'll see what I can do. Also forgive my spelling, this is a very hasty post from a person who has really no idea what he is doing.

In game name: Clockwork Skype Username: Clockwork Orange Age:26 Favourite Weapon: M107 (good enough to deal fatal blow, AS50 shouldn't be in game, as it is meant to be used for armored vehicles) Preferred role: Sniper/Spotter ( I can also be Medic ) Timezone: US central time

I was there and from what I remember was seeing and hearing the names KontractKilla and Travis by those vehicles and they had hacked gear and they spawned back instantly twice, fully geared.. however I could be mistaken.

Thanks, you guys are great, but I believe we still have cheaters using stealth and cheating to find some vehicles, my friend died in my side not heard shoots and I did not die and still got his stuff, please see this topic my two friends died similarly today http://bmrf.me/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/174/hacker#Item_1

(Sorry, the only reason I ask for an admin to reply is because last time I never got any reply. That, and this is my home server basically, and I'm quitting DayZ until I'm told the hacker was taken care of as he's obviously got an issue with me and won't stop. Plus most other servers run slow for me for some odd reason). My main server is on US 443. I have (or had) probably 15-20 tents scattered in all different, well hidden locations (in 2 months, I've only had one of my camps found). Over the last month I've been collecting whatever I can both for our group, and because we were getting ready to hold an event where we gave out equipment to players (just something for fun, most of our people are Heroes and anti-Bandit, and we like to try to do stuff that isn't a typical "get killed by a bandit" story). Anyway, I found a Ural randomly parked next to two motorcycles just a short distance east of the uh.. mountain where the two ATVs spawn (just south of NE airfield). I looked inside and it had a crap load of guns and equipment in it, not to mention there were hacked guns like the AS50 TWS inside. I assumed it was a hacker's, so I ended up taking all the hacked equipment and emptied it out onto the ground. I actually had hoped the hacker would mess with me so I could get him banned (I just didn't know they had tools to find all your tents that you use/vehicles you use/etc). So, I ended up taking the Ural and parked it far in the NW out in the middle of no where, and far away from any of my camps. I figured that the hacker would end up spawning on me and killing me, but I wasn't worried since I had equipment I could use in some of my tents. An hour or so later, every single tent and vehicle belonging to me had been destroyed. And no, there's no way it was them getting lucky. Reason being is this: I had probably 6-8 different "camps" set up just about everywhere on the map, so if one camp was found, then I'd have another camp to go to, etc. Not only that, but there were other player tents and vehicles inbetween some of my camps, yet they were fine. Only tents I placed or vehicles I used were affected. Every single one of my tents was destroyed no matter where they were. I had several tents destroyed in deep in the NE part of the map, one near Vybor, and I even lost two on Skalisty Island, as well as other locations. Plus I lost a bus/bike/ATV. As I said I did hope the hacker would come to me, I just didn't think it'd be to that extreme, lol. Also, the player might have gone under the name "Tommy", though I'm not positive. The reason I said that, is around the same time this happened when my tents were destroyed, I randomly had a player that looked like a fresh spawn right next to me when I was in the middle of the north part of the map with a ghillie suit on). Considering he had no food/drink, there's probably no way he could have gotten that far.. not to mention he was carrying a golden Revolver. But, that might be coincidence, I just doubt it. I really hope something can be done, would be nice to get at least some of my crap back.. though mostly I just want to see this douchebag banned for good. As I said, I'm quitting DayZ until I'm told they're banned (so staff, please reply and let me know what's up).. And no, I'm not saying that because I want attention haha, I just literally don't feel very safe if I have some hacker with a grudge after me, nor is it fun to know that a hacker is probably gonna be constantly going out of his way to mess with me. I also don't know if maybe an admin could have looked up all the tents I owned and done it instead? I have no idea. Oh, and sadly I wasn't able to contact the server admin.. Even though I've been using the server for two months now or so, I've never seen an email contact, nor do I know who the admins are in game, if there are any). Anyway, big thank you to any staff to try to help with this one.

All 4 maps have both options.. private/public. You have a separate database for each, so you have all items,vehicles,tents..saved on that server instance. You can switch back and fourth and play all the different maps ,pub or private and retain your character,assets and location for each mode on each map separately. After much searching ...and $ spent. We have come to the conclusion that there is only 1 choice when it comes to a server host for DayZ... ViLayer. http://www.vilayer.com/ They offer the best tech support.. ticket system,as well as Teamspeak... You actually get to speak to a person most of the time, or you can submit a ticket with questions or problems.(they answer quickly) You have the ability to have a Traditional DayZ server on the Main hive.. Or a "Package Server" Which gives you the ability to have a private server or public... you have the choice of 4...yes 4 different maps! DayZ Takistan DayZ Lingor DayZ Chernarus DayZ Utes All have separate databases...( you can switch between public/private from map to map) all vehicles save properly..all items save properly... You can change time.. set amount of vehicles in the map...way to many options to list.. We have been so pleased with the game since we made the change to ViLayer... DayZ is a whole new game now. Thanks to Lee, Nigel, Casey, and all the staff over there for making DayZ enjoyable and fun for our clan again. M4DGaming www.m4dclans.com

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/83535-private-hive-billy-mays-remembrance-foundation/ is a private hive server and is fantastic IMO. I quit playing public quite some time ago due to the many issues that are caused by hackers / hacked in weapons / Vehicles not saving / tents not saving aswell as many other things. They have 2 servers, one is day when the other is night. Got some awesome admins on there too. Got the debug plains glitch today and the admins replaced all my items and put me back where I was.

Killing other players is the only "fun" remained, because the game is broken and there's nothing more you can do: - no bases (cheater will find your vehicles, tents, whatever); - no reason to survive (cheaters will kill you anyway); - if you are lucky enough to survive for "some" days .. you'll eventually being killed "by" a bug. So, anyone with a brain will think: "why the hell i'm hiding here.. i'm collecting stuff.. i'm taking safe... if my destiny is to die, not by a mistake, but because of a script kid?" << as soon you start to ask this to yourself, your eyes will opens, and you'll enjoy the "real" DayZ: PvP death-match.

Sorry guys, I posted the TS3 server we were using on shoutbox today, but it probably got buried in the chat stream. Not sure how many ppl this server can take, but maybe we should find a public TS3 server we can all connect to, so this doesnt happen. A couple of us have been playing on UK 180 for 2 days ... ultimately trying to get some vehicles, and tents to set up a little camp ( slow going, but awesome ). This server has a good ping for those of us in the states ( maybe not past Kansas/Colorado so much ), and havent seen a hacker yet. Maybe we can make a "home" on this server if its stable, and a good ping for everyone, etc. There was 5 of us playing tonight :thumbsup: Let's keep that contact going ... the more ppl we have hanging about, the more we can accomplish ( whatever that might be ). Anyway .... keep checking shoutbox ( http://dayzfogeys.freeshoutbox.net ), and here ... keep posting ideas for the group ( this is NOT a clan ) ... great start ... see ya out there ;]

I made world around bicycle marathon. From misty peak to NE airfield, going coast with everybody on server coming to cheer me and at Lopatino hacker tele all vehicles ingame into same spot and I was on my bicycle so tele as well... But still I got over 3/4 of Chernarus done under 2 hour. Bicycles are OP.

LIngor is a fun casual map, Have not been sniped too much but it is geared to PVP with a ton of military spawns. The original post was talking about Takistan Life, which is an insanely fun mod that is completely unrelated to Dayz. The Takistan Dayz Map is the map used on Takistan Life, and it works great in that setting (where you can harvest heroin, marijuana, coca, and lsd to sell to generate cash for your gang). You start out with money to buy vehicles and weapons and then can do a variety of missions in a multiplayer setting with very few safe zones. Tons of vehicles and guns to mess with, along with objectives and is a very fun mod but very different from Dayz. You are correct that the Takistan Dayz servers are insanely boring and dull, especially given the fact that you must run to get anywhere and the desert landscape gets old very fast when not in a vehicle. Edit: Just read the title and apparently the OP is just being vague by calling it Dayz Takistan Life, Takistan Life is a mod running on the Takistan server and he should just call it Dayz Takistan.

Q: Will the train engine in Cherno ever be usable like other vehicles?

Hmm...my server's turn I guess. I've only been playing on this server for a week or two so I'm not sure how long ago it was created. Havn't had any issues at all with it until recently. Two nights ago, we all saved all our camps and vehicles, then went to bed. We got on in the morning and found everything gone. Tents gone, vehicles gone, and no more vehicles spawning at spawn points at all. so a couple days now without any vehicles. US2966 Host's name is Tikitis. I have no clue how to get in contact with him...I tried to send him a message on forumns but it says that he can't do personal messaging or something like that. UPDATE: Our vehicles and camps that have dissapeared have respawned this morning. Not sure why all our stuff dissapeared and came back all of a sudden...but im not complaining.

24/7 daytime regular server with100 vehicles for a 20 slots seems a little odd. Best of luck with it, I tried to come for a look but it doesn't launch from commander and isnt listed in the ingame browser, might be hard to get people in there.

Other than what ersan put, you can also do some other cool things. For instance, put down a tanktrap and in the database change the tank traps object id to Land_Fort_Watchtower and on server restart, you have built yourself part of a base :-D Been having a play with trying to get vehicles like the chinook to spawn in Lingor, but you have to change something in DayZ_anim.pbo which I know naff all about

Hey guys just spreading the word about a new lingor server for australian New Zealand players, will be closely admined to ensure a smooth gaming experience, 24/7 daytime, 50 slots +100 vehicles, come join us!!!!! DayZLingor aus 11 (v0.34,96751) [Regular][3DP:ON][CH:ON];

Have a Vilayer DayZ Lingor Public Server.... Its set @ 30 vehicles, and everything seems to be spawning ok. It was at 24 for afew days and i seen the odd vehicle around, after turned it up to 30 and plenty of vehicles are around now... i.e already seen one heli death today, there was 2 in the logs... edit: Try blow up some of the server bikes etc, incase a different vehicle spawns afterwards

NO chance for HACKER!

I don't like to tar an entire group of people with the same brush and all that but I've had to ban around 10 people from my server this evening which is a little more than a usual evening. Things range from god mode, teleporting to players, spawning gear and teleporting all the vehicles to the coast. All these people except one this evening had something in common, that being they were from Russia. This seems to be a common thing as well, while some scripters will be from elsewhere the vast majority I've found are from Russia. Short of setting a ping limit so low that none from Russia can join my server is there a way to ban all Russian IPs?

Open the editor, place a unit in the area you want to see, hit Preview, explore. You can also add vehicles and stuff to cruise around in.

My group has recently lost a few members due to boredom/inactivity etc., and furthermore the server that we play on has shut down, which was disheartening to a few of them and they decided to go back to lone wolfing. So, I'm essentially starting from scratch again with just two of my buddies and myself. This is not a clan or any sort of big organized group, just a handful of guys determined to make this game more enjoyable for everyone we encounter. We do enjoy a good firefight every once in a while, but our general rule of thumb is to offer aid to anyone we find. Right now, I'm looking for a full time medic and a spotter to accompany us (two separate people), and possibly more than that if lots of good people show interest. We do have a small stash of equipment spread out between different servers, but the primary server with most of our loot and vehicles has shut down. So joining us will not instantly guarantee you NVGs and AS50s, although we are mostly very adept at getting good loot through farming barracks and chopper crashes etc. If you're looking for a more lighthearted approach to the game, and you don't mind helping folks out only to get shot in the back of the head, then please let me know. If you are a medic trying to get into the TMW, then we can act as escorts to get you to your patients. Please leave contact details, a little bit about yourself, how long you've been playing, any other clans/groups you've been in, why we should pick you up, or whatever else you think might be relevant in helping me decide. Also, FIVE HUNDREDTH POST :D

What?! armored vehicles in dayz? that just sounds awful.

imsoreet | DayZ Lingor w/ Lingor Units & TRUE 100+ Vehicles 23.29.119.78:2302 Just setup a new lingor private hive with custom vehicle spawns I have added in. You must have Lingor Units 1.3 installed to see all the vehicles. Currently 110 vehicles spawn, including 9 UH1H helis, 8 Maule M7 bi-planes, 7 mig21 jets, 2 Tanks, 2 ZSU armored anti air vehicles, 1 APC, 4 humvees, and 2 helis with HE rounds. Server has day/night cycle and runs at GMT+9. Only rule I have is do not use voice over side channel.
