Yeah, or go into ArmA 2: OA, go to Scenarios and US Showcase you can try all the vehicles and weapons used by the US Army.

Hey dude im 17, australian, play dayz often, have been in previous clans, never duped. im keen to play with you guys if your still recuting. steam name is bl00d_b0n3s12 due to a friend playing his first game on my pc i have no current loadout, no weapons or vehicles, but hey, finding the good stuff is most of the fun anyways ive never posted in these forums before, so if you plan on playing soon my skypes ted-belcher,

I've played on a lot of private hives and on a few of them with Admins that know their shit, they have fixed many things themselves that plague this game. Weeks before tents were fixed "officially" I was playing on a private hive, that had fixed tents & vehicles so they saved properly. Yet took forever to get this working on the public hive. Right now I've been playing on a server that has fixed all duping issues with the exception of tents. Meaning trying to dupe items in backpacks or by other means fails, but they just haven't been able to fix duping by tents at restarts. Yet officially this has yet to be addressed and anyone can dupe their AS50 at the drop of a hat long as they have a buddy to help therm or eat/drink unlimited amounts of time from a single item... No server restarts needed. Now on to battleye.. Why is it, that I played on some German & French servers yesterday that have been running a 3rd party anti hack script. (http://gotcha-antihack.com/) That kicks/bans people for teleporting, spawning vehicles & having guns they aren't supposed to have.. yet battleye can't seem to do the same on the fly.. Why is it some single person that developed a anti hack can actually start making a dent in the hacking issues while the official supported anti hack fails and does much of nothing? Honestly me and 3 friends played on a server yesterday that while we did run into hackers we were actually able to play a good 2 hours before having it happen. (simply amazing considering we play on large servers that hackers prey on) In two hours of being on one of these server I honestly must of seen 7 to 8 players kicked for having AS50 with thermal scopes. I understand that this is yet another whine thread about hackers but it's questions that should be asked..the fact is random server admins & 3rd party coders are fixing things that should of been fixed ages ago officially. Why can't this be done by the guys that are supposed to do it before there is no one left playing this mod? Honestly I don't have a lot of faith in shelling out more cash for a standalone if you guys can't get your act together now.. What will make anything different later, if you don't do these fixes now? You could build trust now by fixing things that can be fixed but instead you leave them for ages or simply ignore them. Why should I believe this will magically change once a stand alone is released?

Happened about 5:30 pm (central time US) in server US1331. Got into a gun fight in Elektro and eventually killed the bandit (4:45 in the video). At 5:34 in the video I am being shot at by an AS50. from the direction of Sniper hill outside of Elektro. at 7:23 of the video the sniper is seen again and confirmed to be the same guy I just killed carrying only a map and an AS50 with default supplies. Even if the AS50 is legit and was just stored in the tent I inspected the sniper areas and found no other players around other than deadgrateful and myself. so there is nearly no way he could get from any spawn within 3 minutes and have enough time to stop at a tent even if it wasnt him at 5:34 in the video shooting the AS50 directly at me. It may be of note that at 1:37 of the video the sniper sounds like it is going full auto, and no less than 3 grenades were used by deadgrateful thruout the video, and the body on top of the school was gone during my inspection of the surrounding areas so there is a lot not adding up. I can attatch the original video if requested as well as others before and after this video as I had been recording. Earlier on this server ther were 4 players surrounding 6+vehicles including a boat on this same server and I have recorded everything, but only have a couple of player names but know the 10 minutes to 45 minutes before this video started there was 3 UAZ, a 4 wheeler, and dirt bikes as well as a boat sitting on the north side of Elektro being protected by this group of 4 players. I can upload those videos later or in seperate posts but they have yet to be compressed

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.

Tents (and vehicles) frequently fail to spawn after a server restart. Check back again after the next restart.

We had 2 choppers spawn. One on Cherno hospital One on Elecktro hospital. Like 4 UAZs, tons of skodas, tons of bicycles, ATVs and motorcycles. Also had a black SUV spawn. Have not had any Urals spawn. Also on takistan I love the new vehicles.

Glad you guys like the video :D I did my best to tell a little story in a short time, so it wouldn't just be boring 45 minutes as the original recordings are. It was quite funny with all the satchels. After having finished the video I've realized that he tries to hit me with another satchel - the sound is just so hard to notice so I just noticed that now. I don't get why nothing seems to be done to prevent hackers. From my knowledge about how technology works it should be very simple to add some functionality that checks different things and ban people who do stuff they're not supposed to do. Examples... Check location XY of player every some seconds, if difference between XY1 and XY2 is larger than Z meters, then the person is automatically banned. Twenty vehicles don't just spawn in the middle of nowhere, so another function could check for location of vehicles, the time at which they spawned etc., and thus remove those that aren't legit. Check for weapon and item IDs. Any occurance of non-legit IDs in a players inventory should simply cause the weapon/item to be deleted. HOW HARD CAN IT BE? Definitely not that hard as all of the above suggestions can be done purely server-side and doesn't involve any check for software on client machine, such as aimbot or whatever there might exists. I still wonder why this dude could do all this stuff while on a BattleEye enabled server... BE not working at all, thats for sure.

I love stealing hoarders vehicles and destroying camp sites. Nothing pleases me more than knowing they will come back and rage and search me out. And when they find their vehicle I'll be nearby to put a bullet in their head and make em rage harder. It's part of the game deal with it.

To the best of my knowledge ... They only spawn at server startup. There is a limit to the number of each type of vehicle. For example one huey per server with 8 possible locations for it to spawn. Each spawn location has a % chance for a vehicle to spawn up to the max number for each vehicle type. Player proximity is not a factor and if every vehicle on the server was destroyed, nothing would be replaced until the server was restarted. When a player finds and moves a vehicle, it's new location and inventory is saved. It will not return to it's "spawn location" again until it is destroyed. Even then it may not based on it's chance to spawn. Destroyed vehicles and any vehicles that have not been accessed in seven days are removed from the database. When the server is restarted, all existing saved vehicles are placed in their last saved location and new vehicles are spawned to replace any that were removed.

The Wiki doesn't seem to be very consistent on how vehicles spawn and I can't find a forum thread that explains it. Can someone tell me real quick or throw me a link? It would be greatly appreciated

Went there and there is nothing there. No tents no vehicles nothing.

SOMETIMES, yes but not all the times. For the 999,999 time: items/tents/vehicles/everything can be lost at any time. Best way to use tent's etc is to put stuff in them, go on a raid with your now-empty pack, then go back to camp. Get your good stuff back out and only save junk/common items in the vehicles. If you put your baby M-14 or 50 cal or whatever in there and log off, you're gonna have a bad time. This comment is of course not directed to Fraggle, but to everyone that puts so much faith into tents.

WHAT!!! How dare someone else other than your clan have a vehicle on that server, what is the world coming to when a tiny group of players can't safely hoarde most the vehicles on the map, the very though that there is a player out there not wasting his entire life running from one vehicle spawn to another in a hopeless attempt to enjoy this game as it was meant to be played just boils my blood, the admins should ban people like the guy who took 1% of your vehicle hoarde. SHAME!!!

got a few spare nvg's i dont really want anything but you can give me the m4a3 cause i dont have one of those at the camp ;) i also got some vehicles so i can come and get to the trading place fast add me on skype: altair.13

Find and get it back or look for another vehicle to steal. We had three vehicles on a private hive the other day, two died in a UAZ. Eventually we chased them down in an SUV and police car and took it back.. Was a lotta fun and hilarious.

have our own server and the vehicles that we want and a decent camp site. a lot of people we were playing with stopped playing and its getting boring playing with just us 2. Only requirements are players 18+ must have a MIC, We use Raidcall for communication. Must have a sense of humor, we don't want anyone who is going to complain when/if they die ..its annoying. If anyone has been looking for other people to play with let me know and we can jump on and play together and see how it goes, Don't expect to just be taken to our camp...it wont happen for obvious reasons until we know you

thats why i dont store stuff in vehicles.

anyone noticed or come across the hackers teleporting directly next to or less than 30m from you? I've just seen a blatant example of it so thought i'd clog up the bandwidth of this site as that is the point after all. the occasion that just happened and made me decide to post was I was tracking a dude from cherno > stary, and was about 700m away on elevated land with my rangefinders. I literally saw a dude spawn in open fields, about 50m from a forest i'd seen a dude walk into. curious, i watched make a beeline for the wooded area the dude ran into then shots and ''blah blah was killed''. needless to say i alt f4'd instantly. i've noticed this a few times, and on another forum a dude ''counter hacked'' and said watching players and their locations was like ping pong, at least 1 or 2 people minimum per server teleporting 1000's of metres across map every 5 minutes next to or in the general area of others and running straight at them. also 90% of servers the vehicles were all spawned in one location, and at least 1 player had hacked in gear out of 40 servers, even on low pop. i know it's another qq thread, so for all the trolls and smartasses have fun telling me ''we all know its in the game, leave if you want, nobody cares, etc etc'' i feel sorry for the hackers in a strange way, how do you get any pleasure out of it? weird...also it's making me question the standalone, i appreciate we don't pay for this but i give it 2 weeks till it's overrun with hackers.

Good choice of learning the vehicles before you use them in game. Wish I would have made that choice haha.

No, you won't get banned. I use the single player hack to try out weapons and learn zombie behaviour/evasion. It's all offline and doesn't hurt anyone at all. It's more of a mod than a hack. The single player hack doesn't spawn heli crash sites or vehicles though, so you can't really play a proper offline game. It's only really useful for training.

Server: GluttZ Server 50 Vehicles, No lag, Private - HIVE (v1.7.2.6) Mods: @DayZ @Bliss IP Adress of Server: 88.159.88.42:2302 Time of cheat: around 21:05 18 September 2012 (the Netherlands UTC +1) Player by the name of: ALEKS Me and my brother were looting at the big military airfield (left of the city Grishino) When we were in one of the barracks we saw a very big group of zombies following the player ALEKS. He was standing still and all the Zed's were attacking him, but he did not give a fuck about it (did not get any damage from them). then he calmly walked into our baracks. My brother shot 2 full FAL magazines on him (I saw the bullits hit the body) and i shot 10sh ronds on him with my m14. But he did not drop to the floor, he just calmly walked towards me and wiggled his upper body left and right. then he waited for a sec. or two and he shot me point blank with his AS50..... My brother managed to log out before he could take a shot. I dont have video proof nor pictures (I wish I had!), it all happened too fast. before I knew it I had the "you are dead" displayed on my screen. :( Cheaters/hackers really spoil the game for me.. I find it very annoing that these cheats are still possible in the game! Please fix this!

An hour has past... We have been trying to rebuild this damn heli for an hour..... 6 guys, 2 protecting the broken heli 4 in 2 vehicals driving like mad men to get bits to fix this bloody heli.. Finally... enough glass in this thing tin can to hold fuel. That sound... The blades swinging round and round past my head. It truely is awesome to see something you have spent so much time fixing fire into life. Lets blow this popsicle stand is the order as we fly away from the area towards a distant fueling tank. I'm happily gripping the M240 on the side occassionaly firing randomly at the nothingness below. "SHIT..." What are the chances to 2 helicopters attempting to fuel at the same place.."BLOW IT UP" is what I hear from the Server Admin, I struggle to see from my side of the heli what they are talking about, The other cannon is raining rounds at something but i can't see what. As i finally see what they are talking about the heli has fled the scene and we NEED fuel so we land. Easy enough 3 of us, 2 on jerry's and one l85 on 'look-out.' Another eternity.. Jesus this heli takes a Butt tonne of fuel... "how much to go i ask?" "almost done" is the reply as our 'look-out' pops in and out of the cab checking fuel levels. I'm standing facing the side of the heli for the what seems like 50th time when, "BANG, CRACK" i hear as my screen goes black. I feel like i spotted as i faded from life the brain matter from my scull spread across the side of the chopper chassis, I remember thinking that shot sounded CLOSE. Jesus i think, someone has bloody shot me close range whilst tramping fuel up the hill. I start hurling abuse over the TS.. To hear, "shit shit shit shit, im down and bleeding.." Hmmm the assumption that friendly fire has killed me is starting to move towards the unlikely column.. there was only 3 of us there and 2 are down now? Screams of "get in the choppah and get out of there" fly over TS. "Im dead" our look out anounce's over TS. So truth be known... We wern't alone. The elation of fixing a heli, engaging another heli in flight and finally having the pinacle of transportation in our hands had blurred our set of rules we had used so many times with all vehicles. 1. Are zombies there, Yes = Someone else is then, move on. Ok so the other heli had spawned them so we wern't to have known if anyone was left behind, but thats exactly it. we didn't know. We should have flown on to another fuel station. Hindsight is 20/20 Live and learn? Well kind of, we were lucky enough that someone else from our group had heard the comotion made a B line for the area, had not been spotted and m104'ed there heli pilot killing the lot of them, but that won't bring me back to life. Now to start to look for another Heli.
