OK, here's the full (noobish) story... I was a new spawn at Kamenka, and wanted to run North West. But I wasn't watching where I was going, and actually got lost in the Western forests. Suddenly out of nowhere a V3S truck and a white car drove through the forest 300m ahead of me. I followed them, and shortly they stopped to cook food and sort their inventory. Then they carried on driving and I followed them again. This time when they got out, one of them went on a mission and the other was left on watch. I was desperate for water, and actually tried typing on direct comms to ask for help. But they weren't on direct, or I was just out of range. So I decided just to roll up to the truck and take a drink if they had it. The guy on watch was actively scanning and right next to the V3S, but only looking on one side of it. When I got to the truck, I thought, 'fuck it... this is never going to happen to me again', so I grabbed the first weapon on the list and shot the lookout from under the truck. Then I drove it away. I stopped a Km or two away and raided the truck. Amongst other stuff I took a Holo, but left a L85A2 AWS because I thought it was a hacked gun. I felt guilty because it looked like whoever repaired and stocked the truck did it all legitimately. And all I had wanted was a can of coke! So I posted the co-ords of the truck on the map with the label 'Your truck is here. Sorry.' I was a couple of Km away from the truck when everyone got disconnected from the server. I think it was a restart, but I don't know. Whilst reconnecting I realised that the L85A2 AWS was listed in the wiki and completely legit, which is when I regretted posting the co-ords of the V3S. I went back to the truck and switched guns. I wanted to move it too, but my wife rang me to pick her up so I had to stop there. I think I'm just going to leave the truck though: Driving vehicles gets you followed and killed by legitimate players, and probably some little script kiddie will teleport the truck to themselves in a few hours time anyway. And they're obviously still buggy on restart. Now tents are fixed, I think I'll go find myself one.

The private hive will be down for a few hours today while I setup a version of bliss instead of saintly bliss. This should remove having 50 vehicles at every vehicle spawn. Server is back up and running under Bliss Hive.

There is a challenge for Green Mt. It's called kill the zombies and look for the vehicles there. All these curses are bullshit. I had a Mt. Dew once, I blew up the Stary Supermarket and watertower and died because me and some guys were fucking around... Ohhhh blame the drink!

+1 Kind of thinking of fobbing this off until standalone at the moment. Had 1 hacker earlier teleport to our base and blow vehicles up and kill us. Just got off the server after just being killed by yet another teleporter wearing full soldier clothing and a red beret.

What sort of things are included in your day to day activities? Do you just PvP, loot the airfield, find vehicles, etc. Or do you sometimes go off the beaten path and try more ambitious things like setting up safe zones, trading posts, fortifying a small village or castle and other stuff like that?

I thought it only locks onto miltary vehicles, of which their are none in DayZ?

If anyone wants to loot there little heart out. I know of an admins tent city with lots of vehicles. Warning: He bans you from his server if you are caught there. Servername: fr151 Grid ref 002 094. Was there as of lunchtime today

Yeah we have absolutely no control over the official hive vehicles, you can technically reset your server to a new instance ID if you want by switching to a private hive and then switching back to official - but your server name will change (the US 2120 or UK 390 or w/e) and it's kind of a rude thing to do, which is why I had a $5 fee for doing it before but I removed it unless people start abusing it. The official instances are hosted on DayZ's servers and once you switch your ID we can't use the old one until it is reset, so it takes up space in their database. If you switched to a private server you could reset the server simply by emptying the objects and survivors tables as Audio Rejectz said :) You could also set a max vehicle limit and see where they all are on the map (and soon spawn them wherever you want and change the repaired state etc. etc.) And yeah multiworld support is going to be great!

I don't think there is a way. I too have the same issue. Vehicles taking damage when server restarts because they are in the ocean or who knows where. There is no coordinates given for them. They have been effectively removed from the game by scripters. In order to "reset" the map you have to "reset" the saved files on the hive server. That means you need a new server ID. I suppose you could close down the server and sign up for a new one. Personally I think I will close mine down and wait for the standalone. The mod is just unplayable.

Just spent 2days looking for the chopper. Was able to recover 4 vehicles and have driven the entire border looking for the chopper. Checked all the towns and the island. Was really hoping I would keep the server going. but I guess im done with this.

For diffrent reasons i like playing on low pop server. one is the hacker stuff and the other is to get more of the survivor part and not beeing shot at any time. But to come back to you: I played lately on a maybe 3-4 pop server and not checking the pop for about an hour just to find out the pop went up to like 12 or 15. I still dont think that this is so many people but not more than 5 minutes later i and my 2 friends got ported over the sea and ya know what comes next.... Compared to thouse 40 to 50 people servers i guess its not important how many there are. And for me its not just the "getting killed stuff" that is what kills fun... amo/weapons, vehicles spawning, maybe artifical aiming (yet to be confirmed for me), maphack (vehicle+player tracking, tents, crashsites and more). I had it all on every map. No matter if there is nobody or full servers. If ya ask thouse kiddies why they do that.... well u get aswers like: Others do that too or why search for 5 hours to get half decent gear? well i havent asked the killkiddies cuz the game denies that. Which kind of sucks too.

The guy i posted about was earlyer in the day. There was actually 3 problems yesterday >:( After the guy i posted about, someone teleported everyone and vehicles :( The instance you are refering to was after everything got teleported which is why there was so many vehicles in 1 spot. In the middle of the coast fun vilayer seems to have had an issue with there servers(as best as i can tell) in which the server crashed several times before becoming stable again. the server went up and down 3-4 times over a course of about 15 minutes in which i couldn't even access the server control panel.

I had a few thoughts on this, and I think that if zombies spawned in proportion to the city/town/ etc... that would help facilitate some coop. going into cherno or elektro (while certainly not necessary by any means) would be suicide for a single player and would require a group to loot it. perhaps things like this would unlock new respawn points or the ability to choose your next spawn. after reading your post pendragon, I immediately thought of the scene in 28 days later where he is downtown after leaving the hospital. the circle or square, or whatever it was, was littered with messages, missing persons notifications etc... one of the most depressing moments in the movie imo. but perhaps a bulletin board of some sort, where players post objectives and other players can choose to do them. finally, what if the radio was implemented to occasionally send out random messages that provide clues to secret loot spots or hideouts (think of the tape cassettes in fallout new vegas). this could help give the player some optional direction in the game if one was looking for that sort of thing. maps, diaries etc... could also work as well. on a side note- I also was thinking that green mountain should be controllable if you found components to get the facility to run with power. again this could be a group related task as a sole player would have a very hard time... but if you brought it back online, you could choose various msgs to send out (perhaps searching for other survivors or unlocking coordinates for loot spots, vehicles, player fortifications, which bandits could likewise use as ambush points etc...???

You get banned from my server if when we check the logs you have a reason to be banned. I have not, nor will I Ever ban someone for killing me or anyone in the Crew. Your memory of the events are wrong. My friend, P.T. had a Shotgun. He shot me in the leg after he shot you, which was hilarious considering all my blathering on. I hadn't expected him to shoot ME. You take this way too seriously. I have never called you a Hacker, because why would I call you a hacker when all you did was pop off badly aimed Mackarov shots at me? I Know what hackers do, so I honestly have no idea where you're getting that from, but your welcome to do whatever you like and I'll defend your right to do so. But you'll need some harder evidence than a story that makes little to no sense given how much I interact and ban actual cheaters Every day. Also, this all happened on Shacknews, not MY server, so your claim that I will Ban people for shooting at me? Is completely false. Would you like our server manager to post the section of the logs where you come into extreme question? My server is on a private hive. The ban's we pass out are as we see fit according to what we see in the logs. Now, I choose to only do that when the logs clarify that there's a problem. We can however work with you on this. Given the sheer number of ban's we had to pass out for invincibility, spawning weapons, teleporting, spawning vehicles. I take no chances when the logs look suspect. We will go over the logs Again, and see what can be done.

Yeah i only seem to find bikes, atvs and maybe one car and one uaz. No heli's are on anyway btw guys but it does seem odd that i can't seem to find vehicles even though it's maxed on 30!

`Great Clan. I'm in Elysium for like tow months now and the clan members are realy nice. Allot of members are inactive or not playing anymore because of the bug you was unable to save vehicles So i hope a cople of people join Elysium so we get active again.

Find and repair two vehicles, then begin the demolition derby.

Sir, you could just switch map to wipe them, though Bliss is bringing multiworld support in a few days meaning you can switch between worlds on one hive with loosing any of the items. You could load up the database, go into bliss / objects and delete tents and vehicles manually. Not sure if there is a faster way

Didn't you read my previous post ? the Arma II engine (which DayZ is built upon) it's very trusting and allows scripting that's how "hackers" are able to script in vehicles, ammo boxes and stuff. Rocket said in the most recent live stream that to stop the hacking in the DayZ mod will mean to totally change the Arma II engine which will directly affect the game (Arma II) The standalone version of DayZ will be built on the Arma 3 engine severely stripped down and that is how he will fix the hacking, you also need to understand that no game is hack free and there will still be a few cases here and there but not as rampart as now. The same reason zombies act like this in DayZ, it's because the Arma II engine simply was not built to do this, same answer here... Arma 3 engine severely modified to fit the game that Rocket is going for.

i.e. reset all vehicles, tents, everything specific to my server. A hacker absolutely ruined my map, so I just want a fresh start. -Joker

Mostly seem like these hackers are teleporting/creating vehicles now. Most of the hacking in weapons I am catching.

This is the big question, what to do at "endgame." When I reach it I get some friends together and plow into Chernogorsk, killing all the zombies, killing all the bandits, helping who we can, and eventually dying. It's much more fun when you have vehicles, as well. Good luck.

I have to say, I was a tiny bit skeptical at first as I've never used any other host other than Vilayer/Multiplay before. Ordered a server yesterday, had about 15'ish players on at one time... loved it, absolutely top notch, I'd definitely recommend you guys to anyone looking for a DayZ server! Just a question, I noticed you mentioned something about vehicle spawns, is there an option for setting up Official Hive vehicle spawns? I'm not sure if thats against the rules or not, but I was wondering if you could do that or not as me an a few friends haven't really found many vehicles, just two ATV's and a Ural after spending pretty much all day looking for them. Also, is there a way to reset the server fully, so all vehicles and tents are reset? Thanks again for being an awesome host! I believe I talked to you on live support as well :P
