sadly vehicles are still not totally saving. A buddy and I Got a sweet van up and running and it bugged out :(

ca 15 was a fresh new server we had access to the admins took all the single spawn utility vehicles quickly during day time it was 20-50 people playing, during night it was 0-5 RESET EVERY 4 HOURS <- FUCKING IMPORTANT extremely low ping

I've just tested the tents again and I can confirm that they are still broken. Here's what happened (and please keep in mind I do always remember to save): I put up tent A yesterday and I put my as50 and 5 mags in it. I parked my ATV with several car parts inside next to it. Both were well hidden and far from towns or roads. This morning (after a server restart) everything in the tent was gone. But the ATV and the items inside were intact. So to confirm my suspicions I put up tent B a few meters away and put a cooked meat in it. Tonight (after a server restart) I check tent B and sure enough the cooked meat is gone. I check tent A to see if my originally placed as50 and 5 mags reappeared, but it is still empty. My ATV is completely intact with all the stuff in it. Conclusion: use vehicles as tents.

JUST WATCH, crank the res if you can. I have seen whole server killed, hacked tents and vehicles containing everything, invisible players and teleporting but nothing on this scale. Part 2 coming soon.

Well see, there are no buggy tents, because I am running 2.4 not 2.5. And just restarting my server doesn't erase the tents/vehicles, only clears out loot spawns.

When an update doesn't fix what's supposed to fix (ie: graphical glitches, saving vehicles, saving tents...), but instead it introduces new bugs (ie: fuel not saving, HUD icons bugged) .. then it's a step back. It's so easy to understand.

I don't alt-f4, ever, even if it's a hacker killing me. I die a lot too ... to both skiddies and legit players. And I'm certainly not some uber-leet-player. Furthermore, it's my policy, on my servers, that when admin are playing the game we run around with the absolute best loot we can scrounge up, and we encourage people to shoot at us. We deliberately take potshots at known-noobs to get them into fight or flight mode. And we never bitch about dying, alt-F4, or reset the server because we were killed. I'd rather that I (and my admins) die to noobs who can loot our gear, than go all day without dying. The only time we, as admins, don't won't to be killed, is when we're testing glitches/tents/vehicles, etc., or getting screen-caps/frapse of skiddies and their duping camps. When we're doing that we will announce in global chat that we're doing it. I like to think that the core group that I have playing on US 1550 and US 2522 recognize us as proactive admins (both in playing the game and protecting the server) and abide by the requests as they come up. So ... no ... not everyone alt-F4s. ~DB aka Gravel, admin of US 1550 and US 2522 (And sorry, in advance for the dbl/triple/quad posts. It does it everytime I post with a single mouse click.)

I am wanting to upgrade my server from 2.4 (vehicles/tents saved here so I played this version) to 2.6 and am wondering if doing so will delete my saved vehicles and tents? Does anybody know?

It seems only one player is in the game, I suspect it is the owner of the server. Last time I was in the server all the vehicles reset, So maybe the owner is hogging them? So he locked the server to do so?

Either way, why the hell is it so long.. should respawn like other vehicles.. Dayz wiki says 13 days :(

Because the scripts to spawn in vehicles are very large and easier to be caught with. You have to bypass BattlEye with each script in order for them to work and not to get caught.

I get it that if you hack you teleport (because you are already so sad that you hack your weapons why walk ?) But why teleport to vehicles, (specaliy choppers) steal them (or destroy them).. I mean, you are hacking you can teleport and spawn those vehicles.. Still you steal them from other players who put hard work in repairing those. I really dont get it..

I once killed a clan taking screenshots with a buddy. 22 kills and all of their vehicles, including a huey, in less than 30 seconds. mm.

I have heard people say that only certain calibur rounds can hurt helicopters. I was wondering if it was true. If I had a makarov and all the ammo I wanted, could I break a helicopter? Or is that damage reduced to zero? On a related note, are there any hacks that make vehicles invincible? I saw some hackers flying around in a helicopter and my attempt to kill them had no effect. They were stationary hovering 130m away from me, and I opened up with a M249 SAW and got 170 rounds off into the helicopter before I died and the helicopter was fine. Granted I'm sure many of those missed, but most of them had to have hit. So is the SAW not high calibur enough or did I just wound it?

I've finally hit Day 60, and I just wanted to share my little achievement with you guys. Along the way I've found many tips and tricks, as well as some facts. So let's start that list: FACTS: Surviving over 1 week makes people believe that you aren't really playing the game. All the hackers and dupers and snipers make everyone think you're playing the game like a pussy, when really, you aren't. Everyone doubts you. Servers with less than 20 players are 99% clean of hackers. Across hundreds of servers I've played on with less than 20 people, only one or two has had hackers. The rarest gear in the game IS rare, contrary to the popular belief that everyone is carrying it. Finding things like a GPS or a Ghillie Suit is hell, because the chance of finding them without killing anybody or raiding a player camp (AKA where they spawn) is very very small. Vehicles are hoarded on every server, and if you find a vehicle that is in its spawn point, then it has respawn without the hoarder's knowledge, or someone else left it there. Helicopters are now ALMOST ALWAYS in player camps. Not once have I seen a helicopter in its spawn point. Humanity raises 150 every 20 minutes that your humanity is above 0 Ghillie Suits guarantee that people will try to kill you on sight. I have been shot at numerous times since I got my Ghillie suit, and I expect to be shot many more times. (No, I don't ALT+F4. I just run away in zigzags. All the people that have been shooting at me have had shitty aim. I'm sure if someone with good aim comes along, they're going to get me.) Not killing players is bad, according to the forums. I have gotten a lot of shit for not killing anybody, but I haven't had the need to. Even some of the people who have fired first on me, when I turn around to shoot back, instantly disconnect. Not killing every zombie that appears on your screen is also bad, according to the forums. It still rains far too much. All of the pictures below were shot on two servers. (The first was when I forgot to turn on debug, so I just joined another random server to take another picture) It was raining on both servers at the exact same time. Yes, they were different servers. The serverhopping bug STILL isn't fixed, reason why I'm on the beach. I should be here, and there is even a picture of me standing there last night. So can someone tell me why the hell this isn't fixed? According to my last post about this, it's not a feature, it's a bug. In relation to the above, infinite loading screens/waiting for character to create still isn't fixed either. This is probably due to the server, or with ArmA2/Battleye itself, but I haven't seen any fingers pointed at anybody yet. Player camps are no longer at the edges of the map, but rather in the middle of forests in the middle or western parts of the map. TIPS AND TRICKS: Lying down while being shot at by another player reduces the chance of them hitting you. Not a guarantee, but it usually works. Especially works in open fields, where you don't have any cover. Lie down and face your aggressor. Instant makeshift cover. (Once again, this isn't a guarantee that they won't hit you, but it makes you a smaller target. Think of someone standing upright in a field, versus the head and shoulders on the ground.) While being chased by zombies, lie down in short pine trees to lose them. Nevermind on this tip. If anything is on fire, and by this I mean the entire city is on fire with ridiculously tall flames, then there is a hacker on the server. Leave immediately. If a hacker teleports you into the air and makes you start to fall to your death, quickly ALT+F4. Now, join another server. Just as the screen fades in, ALT+F4 again. Repeat until you respawn back on the beach for serverhopping. YOU MUST BE QUICK OR YOU WILL DIE (Note: this has not been tested. Sounds good enough to survive without injury. Someone test this and report back on the results, if you would.) Zombies do not go on docks. Use this to your advantage when in coastal cities. When looking for a helicopter at a player camp, think: Where could a helicopter be landed? In other words, look for helicopters in player camps near edges of forests/open fields. Helicopters cannot be landed in forests easily, nor can they be flown out easily. Be careful. Hero skins make you run significantly faster. Try to be a nice guy, and you will be rewarded. Any zombies that are running somewhere without reason have been alerted by another player. Watch where they are running, as the zombies go for the closest player THINGS I STILL DON'T KNOW: Do tents and vehicles save outside of the map? If you already know some of the tips/facts provided, good. Knowledge means survival. These tips are aimed at newbies or other people who don't know much about DayZ. Any other tips listed in the comments will be added to the list. So really, living for 60 days has become more of a test than survival. And now, pictures for all the pix-or-GTFO people. Yes, I'm still not carrying a third gun. No player kills, not a lot of zombie kills. No tents or vehicles. Everything I need is on my person. If you don't believe that I legitimately lasted 60 days, I really don't care. Believe it or not, it's possible to do good in this game without killing people/hacking/duping/logging. I wish I could see my own stats. I want to know how far I've run! (No, I'm not a statwhore (lol) but I'm curious as to what it would be.) The only thing I don't have is a radio, but hey, I'm open to anybody donating one! Once I get a car, I plan to go to the coast, and help anybody that wants help. Blood transfusion, gear collecting, transport, I don't care. 60 days is enough for me. If anybody kills me, good for you, you hit the jackpot. After I inevitably die on this life, I'm going to RUN into Cherno with nothing on me, and laugh at all the people who are freaked out by someone with a flashlight xD AND NOW: My path! (this took like twenty minutes to make) The first time I went to Zub castle, I went there to meet my friends. We ran around, then split. 2nd time, I was going to meet up with Inception., then we went almost to the NWAF, then split. GG, all!

1.7.2.6 is said to be buggy. Tents still don't work properly, duping due to vehicles and tents not being saved after changes is still possible. Well, I would like to quote Smack : :(

Agreed. Im thinking about welcoming presents for groups of 3+ that join our server. We have quite a few vehicles scattered and repaired. Its not that we are hoarding but for awhile we had a 0 population because we were on 2.4 but now im thinking groups that seem chill and join our server might get an ATV or a Truck/Sedan w/e.

Hello everybody, I would like to report a Hacker on DE 1078. We were playing and raiding a helicopter crashsite with a traktor an a quad, when suddenly cows started dropping down on us in parachutes, tons of vehicles were spawned and all players online were teleported to the same location. We were instantly being shot at as well. I immediately shut down the server.

this is the first thing I thought of. why would hacker want to steal your loot sounds more likely it was just issues with the tents and vehicles not saving correctly

1.7.2.5 was a step back. Vehicles weren't saved, artifacts weren't fixed. Just for example. 1.7.2.6 fixed artifacts, but vehicles fuel is empty after restart. Very nice step forward, or? And one of the biggest no step forward, is, that they have nothing against the teleportcheater. I don't know how that works, but I think rocket doesn't know it too. Thats a fact. Why i am mad about this? I left my server, one time in several weeks, and i was killed by such a fu..... who.. with 1000 zombies i have killed. Now, i just began have to began from the beginning. I dont know if they got fixed all bugs at all. I dont believe this anymore.

Do Helicopter Crashes spawn while you drive around in a vehicle? Thanks!

I find this patch has some huge bugs, such as the one that got on my nerves the most. Me and my group got a bus, a ural, and a daz and put them in our base, server updated and boom... all vehicles got flushed and no vehicles spawned.

So, has the Dayz dev team any suggestions as to how we find our teleported vehicles without spending fucking hours running around the map ?.

People prefer to have their own server simply because it means they'll be able to gather the vehicles they need before other players can come and take them. Consequentially, your server becomes a sort of home base for you and your friends to play on because you build your camp on it and have maximum mobility on it.
