Hi ArcticWhite, Thank you for reporting the situation. I think I was online at the time this happened as I heared the chopper flying around. We will look into it and will try to take measures but as we all know the game system is not working well enough to fully fight this. Unfortunally we are encountering a few script kiddies in the server. Yesterday we also found a big collection of spawned vehicles in Kamyshovo that was either spawned there or teleported.

I found a M24 with 5 mags. Me and 2 friends just did what we always do, check the airfield and look for vehicles. This was before the latest patch, like 1 week ago. I didnt play for 1 week and yesterday I started dayz back up, I had to download an update, all good. But when got back in a server I looked in my back pack and my M24 changed in a Makarov. But I still had the 5 M24 mags. I played a bit, for like 2hours. Logged out to do some stuff. After a while I logged back in to a diffrent server and my inventory was clear, everything was gone, I only had my main and secundairy weapon and my toolbelt. Some med supplies, food and drinks were gone, not that it's that important but my 4 STANAG SD mag were gone aswell. Does anyone know why this happend? Is this a known bug or something?

i think if your gonna edit the spawn rate, you are gonna have to mod the actual server.pbo, or other files, and all would need it to connect. It is possible to disable signature check, but that would allow everyone with theyre own version of dayz to connect to your server. as far as i know :) and it might be the same with the light on the shoulder, but dunno. But i would like to hear your finding very much mate. you might find something usefull :) ive also been looking at adding snakes and crocs to lingor, would be very fun hehe. by default the vehicles will be removed after x amount of days, if not used, like wire, sandbag and tanktraps are. ive been fidling abit with the vehicle script my self, but the Bliss script is different from Saintly, so its gonna be interesting to have a look at it hehe. im just sitting in school, not paying any attention at all haha. wanna get home now.... :blush:

I see your point about the sandbox but DayZ is full of rewards for other activities. Whether it's killing other players for their gear, healing others for the hero skin and the advantages that come with it, finding and fixing up vehicles to get around better, hunting animals for better food, etc., they all have incentives. Killing infected on the other hand usually serves no practical purpose and is something to be avoided, which is exactly the opposite of what it should be, imho.

Sure, as I said, I am only experimenting on my server just to see if I can modify stuff to my own liking. For example, I am using a modified vehicle spawn script that is deleting every vehicle, that wasnt found so far, first and after that, generating new, fresh vehicles from the pool. But thats just personal taste. If its possible I would like to get the Holos flashlight working and being able to attach the military flashlight to the shoulder on Chernarus as it is possible on Lingor. A faster initial item spawning when approaching buildings would be nice too, to prevent finding complete empty places. Still need to look deeper into it.

* Server this happened on. - NO 82 * Time that it happened including your timezone. 21:26 10.09.12 GMT+2 * What happened during the incident. he spawned 10 choppers and supply boxes in Elektro. he also added mines under the choppers so when my friend tried to sit in it, the chopper exploded and my friend died. after i respawned he found a box with much gear then we restarted the server. sorry for my bad english also the server admin is a friend of mine serverlog.txt

Hey, So we've found our server's admin's camp, and it's got a lot of vehicles, and many tents. I was thinking of the most awesome way to attack it, and came up with a helicopter insertion. However, I'm not sure if their camp is in a place accessible by helicopters (I.e. under trees). I was just wondering whether my friends could jump out of the chopper whilst I hover 50 ft above, and parachute down (or vice versa), or whether they will all fall to their deaths. Thanks :)

It'll be interesting to see what kind of gameplay evolves on Takistan. It's a cool map but in my opinion it relies on vehicles to be any good because of the massive dessert areas. It was great in Arma for the tank/aircraft battles but I'm not sure how well it'll translate into DayZ though. Anyway, good luck!

People complaining that tents are popping back up on server restarts after being destroyed. No one at any point ever said they wouldn't. This hotfix was released to make tents and vehicles functionable again. They are now returned to the current state they were in before they broke, with a bonus of tents being able to be placed anywhere now. I double saved my tents and one saved, one didnt. So yeah, the fix was a success.

SERVER'S BACK UP! US 2978: Found this under the bridges to the west of Kamenka. There were some silenced AKs and AS50 TWSs, but I blew up the tents they were in with frags. I also got rid of the barbed wire for you all. I didn't blow up every tent, so now people can freely loot it. There is still food, guns, and ammo left. Satchel charges, too. All legitimate guns in the tents remain. There is lots of food, ammo, a Winchester, FALs, but no vehicles. 5 people on the server. Lots of things in there. Go for it! WARNING: The camp owner is watching over the camp somewhere. Thoroughly scan the treeline before approaching.

I have been playing on the ham server for the past week ...found myself a load of loot that i had stored in tents, had a few vehicles and today when i try to join it has been changed to lingor....now i know there is nothing wrong with the admins wanting to change the server to lingor...but a bit of notice would b nice...all the guns i had are now gone along with my supplies and vehicles. a weeks play down the drain and im back to square one makes me wonder if it is worth playing this game until the stand alone comes out. or mayb rent my own server..though the prices for a server in aus are way too expensive.. cmon admins give us some notice before changing the server. cheers

on the far left of the map, is a small village called myshkino, grid 01,07. It spawns a pick up, they are pretty decent vehicles. on road and off road.

Server is getting a much needed patch tonight. Will take care of the weird issues that started happening all weekend with players who got killed respawning with all their gear, players who didn't get killed spawning with nothing, and the vehicles not respawning for the last two nights. Thank you to the people who brought these issues to my attention, and to Vilayer for the assistence.

Breaking down the numbers from today's (9/10/2012) front page paints an interesting picture. There are a lot of assumptions here so feel free to correct any mistakes. In the absence of better info, prepare for a whole lot of pure speculation. Survival attempts: 34,080,009 - Interpreted as the total number of fresh spawns. Alive Characters: 973,057 - The number of survivors, both bandit, hero, and otherwise, that still have a pulse. Murders: 8,283,363 - The number of deaths caused by one character (either bandit or otherwise) killing a non-bandit character. Bandits killed: 1,423,818 - Assuming these are player-on-player kills and not all other reasons for death Bandits alive: 149,607 - Number of living players with the bandit skin Zombies killed: 2,147,483,647 So what can be gleaned from this small amount of info? 1. Most deaths are not caused by other players: 34,080,009 - 973,057 = 33,106,952 total deaths (8,283,363 + 1,423,818)/33,106,952 = 29% of deaths were player-caused This means that most of the time (71% of the time), death is caused by other means: zeds, falling, hackers, suicide, crashes in vehicles, hackers, thirst, starvation, exposure, eating bad beans, hackers, etc. No idea how that breaks down since there is no info. 2. For the average life, 63 zombies are killed. Suicide and death by hacker probably skew this down from the real number. 2,147,483,647/34,080,009 = 63 3. Bandits (players wearing the bandit skin) make up a minority of players at 15%. 149,607/973,057 = 15% 4. Of all the murders committed, 15% of the victims are bandits. 1,423,818/(1,423,818 + 8,283,363) = 15% The last two stats imply that bandits are just about as likely to get killed by other players as non-bandits. Thoughts? Additional conclusions? Does my math suck?

I sure am glad vehicles save now, even though I cannot see my debug monitor and vehicles don't even have gas after server restart. Quit breaking two things to fix one problem, I think that would be quite helpful.

lets do it! We have a nice consistent group of people that play together. Come in and check us out, this is Lingor Island! 80+ vehicles and 3 choppers. Lots of action! 173.51.5.34 port 2302 also have teamspeak IP if you and your teamates need a place to talk/communicate

Come on in! We updated! now there's many many more vehicles! We will be expanding onto more hives.

hoarding vehicles is the worst issue currently, hackers/ loser clans hold all the vehicles off map and nobody can use them lol... way to go dickwads

This sounds really awesome. Me and a few friends were recently playing on a private hive that had a few different clans and 50 vehicles on the map. Made for some fun and interesting combat and interactions. Too bad they got really mad at us after we raped them at stary and locked the server because they want to "play nice" and not have any bandits on their server.

Recruitment status: Open Recruitment is now at Wave 3! Recruitment opened at 3pm AEST on the 30/9/12, please fill out a prelim application, even if you have already done so in a previous wave. *** ALL 97ADU MEMBERS, WE HAVE MOVED TEAMSPEAK SERVERS, PLEASE PM ME *** The 97th ANZAC Dental Unit is now recruiting! We are a group of like-minded players who believe in playing DayZ like it was meant to be played, for fun. Not just going around blasting fresh spawns in Cherno for their chemlights. We have both our own DayZ server and Teamspeak server, as well as approximately 32 of the best players down under, across the Tasman, and around the world. Our members are Primarily Australians and New Zealanders, but we take in members from all different countries. We are also members of the Coalition, and work closely with clans such as the Chernarus Quarantine Force {CQF} and the Trusted Medics of the Wasteland [TMW]. We provide bodyguard services to medics across the world, and act as medics ourselves for any player in need. We also supervise some trading between players on our home server, as well as exciting vigilante work across AU, ANZ and NZ servers. As we are a contingent of the Coalition, we only take friendlies. Please refer to this thread for more information on the Coalition: http://dayzmod.com/f...culture-of-dayz If you have any questions at all, feel free to post here and I will reply ASAP. Please download the OFFICIAL 97ADU Member's Handbook for highly detailed information: http://www.fileden.com/files/2012/9/29/3352499/97ADU%20Handbook%201.5.doc Still interested? Please continue reading as I describe in more depth the recruitment process and whether or not our organisation is for you. The recruitment process After filling out a preliminary recruitment application (detailed below), candidates that are viable for recruitment will be contacted via PM and a voice interview will be arranged. We will then ask you a series of questions that will be used to determine if you are a suitable fit into the ADU's ranks. We usually take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to reach a decision after the interview, and you will be the first to be notified if your application has been accepted or declined over a communication network of choice (Our Teamspeak server, forum PM, email, smoke signals etc.). If you make it this far, you will be fixed with the 'recruit' rank on our Teamspeak, which is basically a probationary phase, of which it is possible to fail. It lasts from anywhere between 1 - 3 weeks, depending on your performance and how trustworthy you prove. From here, recruits are then promoted to full members of the 97ADU. Requirements High maturity levels. (Having a joke is fine, but you need to know when to stop) A working microphone. Teamspeak 3 Being a reasonable person. If somone asks you to come pick them up in a car you're driving, dont just say no and drive off. Sense of humor. About us Allow me to get one thing clear. We are not a bandit organisation, quite the opposite. So if you enjoy activities such as sniping fresh spawns in Elektro, then this clan isn't for you. We are out to have fun and to lend a hand, however if we come under fire, then we have no qualms about shooting to kill. We all have a serious side, but when it comes down to it, we are all out to have fun, so remember that. Rules and Consequences We do NOT tolerate: The deliberate shooting of unarmed survivors. Stealing or deliberate dispossession of ADU equipment and/or vehicles (we share equipment, so if you need weapons/ammo, just ask!) Associating with a known bandit organisation. Disrespect against fellow ADU or Coalition members regardless of their rank or organisation, this includes racist/sexist remarks etc. Hacking in any way, shape or form. Consequences Breaking any rules listed above will compromise your position within the 97ADU. The repercussions depend upon the severity of the infringement. Offenses such as hacking result in immediate expulsion, whilst others may result in a warning and/or being placed on probation. Again, If you are interested or have any questions at all, feel free to send me a PM or post here and I will get back to you ASAP. What to put in your post/PM: (Preliminary Recruit Application) - What name you go by in game? - Do you have a working mic? - How did you hear about us? - Do you have Teamspeak? - What are your best qualities that you think would benefit the 97ADU? - How long have you been playing DayZ? - Are you associated with any other clans? Thank you for your interest. - Vendetta 97ADU Director of Communications & Recruitment

I'm in the same boat. Speaking of which all I've seen since the update are 3 boats on the land down in Kamenka and a PBX with a bicycle on top of a mountain up north. Scripters must have got a bit excited at the prospect of vehicles that save and so teleported them all to their location. I've found 20 high value tents in the north but have yet to find a vehicle at any of the camps. I would've thought I'd see an ATV at least, starting to think they're all being hoarded off map.

I have been searching for days now through vehicle spawns and also through the northern woods. I don't know where all the vehicles are!? I have scanned all of the woods near the borders I mean I just don't know where these people are hoarding them. I want to find a vehicle so badly..

Totally not going to point out how you would need to run for 22 hours to travel from one edge of the supposed map to the other with said speed and distance. Also finding friends would become a bit more of a nightmare with a larger map. Especially if we're still stuck with the same rarity of vehicles...

Was on US 2806, had 4 vehicles... the next day no vehicles and none could be found at any of the spawn points. Maybe the server needed to be restarted again, i dunno.

No need for thanks. If anything I should be thanking you guys. It's players like you that makes running a server worth it. As far as vehicles we have been having a couple hicups with tents/vehicles not loading in where they should be. However I have always been able to fix these problems QUICKLY and since the new patch we have not experienced any loss of equipment/vehicles.I hope that your issue was an isolated event and if it wasn't please do let me know so that I can make a note of it to the server rep.Thanks for your patience guys and I hope to see you again in US 3040.
