have you ever made it to end game?have you made it past zelenogorsk ever? have you ever had a gun better than DMR? once you hit "end game" you realize there is nothing to do other than kill people. vehicles? http://dayzmod.com/f...dayz-character/ someone who knows how to play theyre as common as alice packs zombie killing? zombies are pathetic as hell and are no fun what so ever to deal with so what do you recommend for someone to do when you dont suck at DayZ?

So there is no point in these text files at all? I'm sure having a list of prebanned guid's and scripts that kick people for using them is still better then absolutely nothing? I get exactly what you mean. Again I want to emphasize I already know it's impossible to stop. I know this. What i'm asking is what are things or procedures people do to catch a hacker before too much damage is done (killing all players etc) and what has anybody found a little bit more effective. I understand theres new scripts and bypasses everyday pretty much but I'm also sure some servers get hit harder than others and there has to be a reason for that. I do however agree with you 99%...it's lame we pay for a server that we have barely any control over. At least in early patch you could stop and start server and vehicles did reset. Oh well.

I want this game to go Rogue-like. I actually thought that's what they were going for when I saw the survival timer on the main page. There should be so many hilarious things that can go wrong and mess up your character and possibly end your life in this game. Then the game will be more about survival than anything. Super rare loot, some sort of stamina/tiredness involved, getting sick and injured in many kinds of ways, etc. That timer on the front page would have real meaning. Clearly, survival is not what this game has in mind. Heck, Minecraft is more of a survival game than DayZ. DayZ is just the saddest and slowest deathmatch game of all time. It kinda feels like the only thing that's keeping this game going, is the thought of ruining somebody else's game because people know how long it can take to get anywhere for a legit player; TrollZ. It's not even a decent deathmatch game. Most of the time it's just some guy killing some other guy who is either unaware of him or trying to get away from him. Whatever they wind up doing with the game, I'd like them to take a couple of points very seriously: There aren't enough interesting places, and getting to the interesting places we have now takes too damn long. For the love of whatever, add more vehicles. I've reached a point in this game where running all the time feels like a bullshit waste of my time. When I get hold of a vehicle, it's like a different, funner version of DayZ. When I lose my vehicle? I get bored of the game again. A mere bicycle would be enough for me to enjoy the game again. FAILING THAT; more points of interest. As it is, I'm either in one of the handful of interesting places, or just running to one of them for 20+ minutes. My game has boiled down to: Airfields, Stary, Cherno, Elektro, Berez, and a couple of Factories The rest of the map may as well be a desert. If I'm on foot, I might check a couple of vehicle spawns on the way to a decent place, but it's usually a waste of time. PS. It's funny how HUGE the map is, and yet, even with just 5-20 players, it feels so small because we all go to the same places.Heck I can bump into a stranger even if it's just the two of us playing. I wouldn't mind seeing the NorthWest Airfield nuked into mediocrity. PSS. Honestly sometimes forget this is a zombie game. They may as well be invisible. I got quite the reminder that it's a zombie game when I accidentally lost a car wheel in the middle of a town. The zombie spawns were going crazy!

As it is right now, it has a few uses: - Fortifying camps - Ambushing vehicles - Dickheads using it to grief Unfortunately for the first two, the last one is a big problem. Remove it.

One little caveat because I am a huge believer in allowing all legitimate play , if you hoard the vehicles off the map then you are 100% cheating. It makes you a dick to do this in the first place, but being a dick is a huge part of this game so this is no different. But storing things in the debug plains or forest is straight up cheating and if there was a way to catch these idiots they should be banned from that server. I am hoping that a fix comes out eventually to stop people from logging out in these areas or saving a single shred of gear or vehicles. Otherwise, carry on I will eventually find your legitimate camp site so hoard away.

This makes no sense whatsoever. Either you honestly don't understand why people are doing it, or you're hating on them simply because they're doing better than you. There is no limit to the number of "Vehicles That I've Ensured You Can't Use" that I can use. People aren't being dicks simply for not cooperating with you. There is no requirement or expectation for others to do things to make life easier for you. Destroying or denying resources that we can't use ourselves hurts everyone who isn't us, and therefore leaves us better off in comparison.

What many are trying to say, in so many words, is that the experience is amazing at first. But when you begin to really start grouping up with people and setting goals and running missions hackers will really fuck up your day. Its not about getting attached to items or vehicles, its more like the feeling of having more fun than you have ever had in a video game and your asshat brother/sister purposely pulls out the power cord to your Nintendo. Thats what hackers are like in this game and why they ruin everything you are currently experiencing for the first time and once you begin to delve deeper into this game and experience the great things that only come when you have spent enough time off the beach, you will feel the same as us.

absolutely nothing you can do. You pay for a server that you have no control over. I pay for one as well. To this mod/community you and I are nothing more then a life form that gets sucked dry by all the leaches that want to piggy back off of others. Without people like you and I this game wouldnt exist. Care to challenge this? try playing this game without being able to piggy back off of the people who work jobs to pay for your entertainment. We launched our server 2nd server yesterday after the patch came out. Hoarded a few vehicles and hid them so the mooches cant get to them. Wake up in the morning to find that some Leach script kiddie has come into our server and teleported all vehicles off the map. These rules are put in place to prevent the server admins from abusing there powers, but in reality these rules cause the admins to pay with there time and money so that the leaches can ruin the fun of others. admins should be able to do what they want with the server they pay for. I want to password it so that I can only invite a select few Legit players. To bad this game caters to script kiddies and the undeserving and fucks the people who keep this game going. Edit** also since the script kiddie has teleported all vehicles off the map you as a Server admin/owner are not allowed to reset your server back to a clean start. Once again the people who pay for your entertainment get shit on by the rules put in place to protect the leaches. Best bet is making your server a private hive and Passwording it so the leaches cant enjoy your entertainment. Butt hurt? Yes.

Hello everyone. I will try to not ramble forever. Basically I just rented myself a server about 5 days ago and been having encounters with some hackers (shocker). Sometimes it's only things like hacked in weapons etc which I can see is almost impossible to stop since they could spawn them in on any server and then carry them over. Other times it's really bad. The other day me and a friend were gathering a lot of parts to rebuild chopper and all of a sudden when going back to our vehicles with the parts they were gone. Every vehicle including ones not repaired were also gone. Clearly they had all been deleted or teleported somewhere else. I know preventing this is almost impossible, but I am open to any and all suggestions on what kind of counter measures people are using to minimize these things from happening. Currently I use BEC and DayZAntiHax and update my scripts, banlist, and remoteexec and createvehicle.txt files as often as I can. I'm just looking for any suggestions or tips, something you may have done that really helped out your server with less hackers etc. ANYTHING. I want to help make DayZ a hack free game. Although it's not going to even come close until it's standalone (even then there will be exploits and hacks) I would like to play maybe for 6 hours without being messed with. Thanks in advance. Also how does the "publicvariable.txt" work? Do I put it in the same folder as the other .txt files? Feedback much appreciated.

one of our guys mentioned this tonight. Since now playing the game is pointless. Hackers teleport to all the tents on server and killem. I hated the fact that they dupe on every reset but it evened the score as far as hackers go. Now all our groups gear will be there for a day or 2 which is on average how long it takes for a hacker to teleport to all the tents in the server and drop satchels on them. Vehicles get teleported daily so thats wholly unreliable. I think its a good idea if we get enough people on side to fill a server. Whats the syst req for private hive? any idea?

Tents are saving. Vehicles are saving as long as they dont get teleported off the map.

Are vehicles spawning now because I haven't seen any! And I really want to fix a atv

Agreed. I'll take easily stockable Jerry cans over my vehicles going on holiday somewhere. :P

Could have easily been a legit camp and some hacker came along and loaded the vehicles up.

One thing iv'e noticed is that when the server restarts your vehicles start with no gas?

You know this is a good game when awesome weapons and vehicles don't spawn right next to you when you start playing, and aren't handed to you at designated checkpoints on a rail system.

Yeah looks like our server is not pulling tents or vehicles from the hive. We have shut it down for now. Where is this info coming from? the Vilayer Teamspeak?

Im all for the whole wiping servers clean or even wiping the HIVE clean. If thats whats necessary to catch the ones spawning this loot or to add some kind of filter in to completely prevent it after its all been wiped. Maybe save it for one of the major patches. Might as well do it, while vehicles and tents save 50% of the time and servers randomly kill you and spawn you with no gear at all.

Server updated to 1.7.2.6 Arma 2 Updated to 96584 Teamspeak 3 added as an alternative to side-chat. You can create your own private channels to chat with your group. I will also be sitting in the Admin Corner on the TS server as much as possible to assist with ban requests/server issues/scripters running wild. As I have been getting a steady flow of traffic on the server over the past week, I am looking into setting up a forum site to have players register to receive a password. Once I see that enough people have signed up and received the password, I will lock the server so that random script kiddies can't server hop to this server because it is always on the top of the lists for populated servers. Once this happens, I will look into upgrading the server hardware to allow even more players to connect and play at the same time. So come play! The scripting isn't worse than on public servers. If it was I would have ditched this server a week ago. I created this to get away from the massive attacks public servers get from scripters. I am going to add a whitelist in the near future to increase the protection even more so that our DayZ experience isn't destroyed by scripts. Once the password and forums are up. I will hold weekly contests for members. I am looking to do a weekly scavenger hunt to get players moving around the map for some in game prizes like vehicles and guns (Mountain Dew Can and an AS50 with 5 clips anyone?). As long as I keep seeing people play on the server. I'll keep doing my best to make sure your experience on my server is fun and uninterrupted.

I think Rocket dropped a few hints about classes to incentivize cooperation/teamplay. Don't see why you can't select a speciality after selecting gender. Mechainic - specility in vehicles. Engineer - speciality in underground structures. Doctor - speciality in medical treatment. Weapon smith - speciality in weapon attachments. ect. ect. Don't know if skills related to speciality is only available to specialists or if specialists just hav a bigger chance to succeeed. Everytime you repair/heal/build/ect. specialist have a 80-100% chance to succeed. Regular folk have only a 60-80% chance.

Hey, I want to inform you, that the Player KliXxful was hacking on your server DE 278 on Friday (Sept. 7.2012) around 21:15- 21:30. He teleported me and a friend in our vehicle to his location and shot us a few times, till we managed to log out quickly enough. (I Hope :((( ) So pls help us to ban those Hackers from the DayZ community. There where about 10-15 vehicles (a bus of ours, that got hacked earlier too) and he with a MG in the middle. We drove a few Meters away but no chance .... We are pretty sure KliXxful was the hacker, because the other players were killed shortly after we got teleported. And.. if anyone could ever tell me, where the fun comes from, to hack a game, destroy it for everyone else and be happy about 20 cars n helis in nirvana? I dont think i ever get it but i dont want to have those guys in a game, i can handle bandits but that.. nah :( Thx and a Nice Day, JulzO_o aka Julian

So I just started a server, and out of all the vehicle spawns I've checked, I've only found a bus (in Electro). The heli isn't on Skalisty. Any reason for this?

ZdayKyle (x.x.x.x) 5027c67fbe4a1deef1d246d1899c68b5 added! Spawning all current server vehicles to one place.

Followed that about 20 minutes ago and after Step 1 where you would expect "Vilayer Code Update v1.1 & ArmA2OA 96584" to say INSTALLED, it says nothing. Followed the rest of the instructions after and it runs but is not connecting to the HIVE properly. Anyone else tried this before I log a support call? EDIT: The Vilayer Code Update v1.1 & ArmA2OA 96584 is now showing as installed but tents, vehicles don't seem to be spawning and there are tons of error messages when the server is booting :(

Today I came across a duper/bandit camp after tracking down a few guys who had murdered me. The camp contained something like 8 vehicles. Bus, GAZ, URLx2, UAZx2, an offroad and Motorcycle. It also had what looked like duped tents with very suspicious loadouts., mostly civilian/Ghilli clothing, several of each machine gun, 24-slot backpacks, and misc supplies and a very few other guns. Naturally, recognizing this camp not only as a bandit camp but also a duper camp, I went to destroy it all.. but I'm unsure of exactly how effective I may have been. What I did was loot a MK 48 and shoot out the engine bay of each vehicles until flames erupted. I then used the remaining vehicle to run the tents down and drive off. It was very quick and dirty because I was afraid such a large camp would have unseen defenders. Also, I had just got into a firefight moments before I arrived, possibly alerting the owners to log in.. so, being afraid that the sheer size of the camp meant more people would log in to defend it, I rushed very quickly through the whole process and couldn't risk going back. So, what do you guys think; are the vehicles destroyed? or did I make a pretty big mistake by not stopping to save the charred remains? EDIT:: I'll also add that this was a private hive server. I don't know if that makes a difference.
