If tents and vehicles actually would save again ... that would be ... wait ... AWESOME! When today is the update going to be released? And does this update include a hive-wipe?

I sincerely hope you test the saving of vehicles and tents before you assume that fix (#41502) actually fixes it. I had modified my server code with that fix as well, and it didn't work. After quite some investigation it seems that servers after a certain instance are experiencing problems that are not fixed with this fix. Only tents save the first time, which is explainable: - Player sets up a new tent on the server, gets id: 132699331640165 - Player (with fix #41502) can save the tent as often as it wants. Hyve updates in the log show the correct id in the string (132699331640165) - Server restarts - Tent has the contents as before the server went down. ObjectID of the tent however is now "2.75986e+006". - Any subsequent saves of the tent fail - the hyve tries to update an object with id "2.75986e+006" which does not exist and silently fails (no error). The same problem occurs with vehicles. They are loaded from the database with bad id's, hence they never save. Earlier servers don't have this problem, because their vehicles have id's that are not corrupted on server load (presumably because their id's are low enough to not be converted in e+006 formats).

To the op...chopper was never "yours" just cuz you repaired it. All the players were right when they advised that vehicles arent saving properly. If you saved it, after one reset it should go back to its normal location. After two resets it might return to where you saved it. O and lawl@u for thinking you saved it in a "hidden" place

WARNING: CONTAINS BUTTHURT so shut the f*** up. I have been playing dayz for a few months now, I know the game inside-out. The game mechanics I can get used to but the players... that's a whole different story. Most people that play dayz are bandits, by choice?- I don't think so but what can we really do? Whenever you see a player YOUR immediate reaction is "is he going to kill me?" I was a bandit back in the day, kill on sight and loot them but I've changed my ways because it's boring as shit now. I think helping players is more rewarding and fun. Helping new spawns off the coast with my heli is a goodfeel.jpg (don't get me wrong I still kill players that are shooting at me and players that are threats and don't respond). BUT (now this is my complaint) the disrespectful asshole players that I try to help when I offer rides/weapons/gear even vehicles! - and they kill me, it is just fucking disgusting. When I go out of my way to help the community of dayz, take them to my camp and see it raided and the tents saved with no gear in them sickens me. Those selfish pricks that ruin the game for everyone else (the ones that hack also which are even at a lower level of dipshit-ness) can you guys stop being cocksuckers? DON'T GET ME WRONG. I'm not saying "never kill" anyone. Just the people that are trying to help you out, give them a break and stop being immature dumb asses. Nothing is wrong with being a bandit, just don't be that kind of guy. inb4 "stfu gay fag get used to it"

as mihn said we had fun in the chopper and found/repaired two other vehicles. while heading to the hangers on the north side of NWAF my internets went out for like 30 seconds and we crashed (i like to fly low). so now were sad since that chopper was fun but got two other modes of transportation haha. time to find a nice spot to stash them on the map where no one can find them.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! TENTS AND VEHICLES SAVE, ATV'S CAN BE FLIPPED!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! just try not to break it again, rocket

Good stuff on the vehicles and tents :thumbsup:

Looks nice. Although I strongly feel we need a fix for the tents & vehicles not saving with this hotfix also. The constant rollback of duped items in tents and vehicles are destroying the fun of this mod.

This topic is for information of the status of the next update. Affected Addons: * dayz * dayz_code * dayz_server (server) Target date: * Thursday 6 September 2012 (GMT) Confirmed Changelog (WIP): * [NEW] Bear trap has chance to spawn on infected hunters * [FIXED] Graphical glitches with dead bodies (Bodies should now not display graphical glitches) * [NEW] Three UI options available: Default (indicators only), Debug (indicators + debug window), None (only base ArmA2 UI) * [FIXED] Tents and vehicles not saving correctly ( https://dev-heaven.net/issues/41502 ) * [FIXED] Converting between magazine types resets ammo count (Now only contains previous number of rounds) In Process Changelog (WIP): * [NEW] Option to flip vehicles that have rolled

This has happened to me and my squad tons of times now when trying to flip over atvs or other vehicles. It's hilarious. In fact I think a friend of mine put a video of it on youtube but I'll be damned if I remember the link or what to search for.

Hello, We at Oaks Clan are looking for active players to make our new server their home. Server is monitored by Admins almost 24/7 and server restarts every 5-6 hours to keep a smooth gameplay at all times. We are running Vilayer.com private HIVE, which means the folllowing advantages: - 1.7.2.5 works properly with no vehicle/tent saving issues. - Vehicles will save properly - Tent duping will no longer happen - Item duping will no longer be possible - Fresh server: All vehicles are to be repaired and there are 30 vehicles instead of 15 - More Admin Control over hackers - Bigger player base than official hive right now! - Server is daytime 24/7 for now You can easily find our server by typing "Oaks" in the filter: DayZChernarus - (1.7.2.5/95248) (Regular|3D:ON|CH:ON) - [24H DAYTIME!] [2X VEHICLES] [NEW SERVER] Oaks Clan - Vilayer.com The server is located in Luxembourg (Europe) and has a great ping all across Europe and even people from America and Asia. Ping kick is set at 200 so anyone with a ping below that is welcomed! Any problems or suggestions, feel free to post them here or feel free to add me on Steam, my username is the same as on this forum. B)

I play on a server where I roll with admins regularly. We have not found any vehicles other then ATV's and those always at spawns. But on other servers, I can never find a vehicle. Unless I'm shooting it, Because its trying to kill me. And on Lingor Island I've gotten kicked from at least 3 different servers for blowing up vehicles.

Considering you have to fuel up vehicles, you should also have to 'fuel up' electronic devices with batteries you will find in supermarkets. Batteries could be used for things such as night vision scopes/binoculars, thermal optics and whatever else batteries could be used for. Batteries could even be used for walkie talkies with channels to communicate with each other from a distance. As well as batteries, power outlets could be added to buildings so you can charge your electronic devices or even rechargeable batteries. I know i would like this in DayZ because it would add to the realism of the game. Please tell me down below if you think this would be a good or bad add on to DayZ and why. Also, what do you think batteries will be used for? :)

Downgrade your version to 1.7.2.4 and play on a server that fits it. Patch 1.7.2.5 doenst save tents (sometimes it does), Items in Tents, and Vehicles (exluding white offroad)

Spawn killing doesn't get you banned, we follow the public server rules, however, in a previous topic here you admitted the use of hacks. Well, you didn't use any hacks yourself but your friends used hacks to locate tents, vehicles, camps, players etc. and you used that information to your own benefit claiming it wasn't hacking because you got the information from a 3rd party person. I disagreed with that. Secondly, you are just a griefer. You're only goal when joining our server is emptying it. Griefing so much that people don't have fun anymore and quit, not to play the game like it's meant to be. Since I pay the monthly server bill it's my right to ban you from our servers just for that reason alone. So no you didn't got banned for spawn killing, it's just a sum up of a lot of things you have done in the past and will continue to do in the future would I allow you back in. I'm just protecting my severs and players against people like you, something any responsible server admin would do.

Byr, could you check if pickup trucks got only 4 weapon slots in your DB? referring to wiki, they should have 10 like other vehicles.

The AS50 TWS actually used to be a legit weapon many moons ago until it was stopped from spawning. However, it's pretty safe to say any floating around now are either duped copies of the original or straight up hacked in. You won't be banned for using hacked weapons, but that particular one is trolling on a new scale. It's like shooting fish in a barrel frankly and I imagine you'd get bored with it quickly. The concept of "dump it in a body to get it out of circulation" is a nice thought, but at this stage a little naive. While it's doing your small part to help and if everyone did their small part it would make a big difference -- It's like you being on the titanic and trying to bail out water using a tea cup. A hacker can log on a server and spawn in 5,000 of those with the run of a script so it doesn't matter what well meaning sacrifices you make at the end of the day. You'd prolly get server banned by an admin for using that weapon for being a hacker, which frankly isn't too far off the bat. Server admins get away with all manner of bullshit like locking down servers, hoarding all the vehicles, kicking or banning people to suit their needs. But I have to say banning someone for using an extremely OP most likely hacked in weapon is one of the actions I wouldn't moan about.

i cant promise more, but i can promise more spawnpoints ;) the amount of vehicles is set by a cfg file, and each type of vehicle has a max number, wich i havent touched yet :)

I havent seen that many vehicles around tbh. But thats probably cause im bliiiiiind as a motherfcker :P

He's not the only one changing. The hackers are changing. The survivors are changing. The bandits are bleeding. The heroes are changing their outfits often. And players like me are working with semi strangers to fix the vehicles we've only rarely seen before and spending time testing the game for bugs and issues and learning all the little quirks of the real game. Something is going on. I'm not going to complain. Oh wait.. school started back up.

Easy solution; ignore vehicles and create backup tents on different servers even if it's frowned upon. I couldn't really give a shit if I lose my gear in a fair situation, but losing gear because of all the bullshit things that are currently happening as well as servers going offline is something I'll try to prevent from happening. At this stage in the game, there really is no reason to simply abuse the tent/server mechanics to hell and back, because frankly, that AS50 TWS won't show your Enfield any mercy. Having vehicles is nice and all, but on most 1.7.2.5 servers all vehicles are up at their original locations and thus finding a bicycle/motorcycle whenever you log on to get around really isn't hard. Hell, I'd go as far as saying that it's preferable considering a car is the last thing you want to be in with all the .50 cals around. What I'm trying to say is, accept the fact that the game is in a sub-optimal state currently and find a way to work around it. Oh and, when you're looking for a regular server to play on, research it. Make sure it has been up for a while, that there aren't any admin complaints about it and so on. Spending an hour to find a proper server beats dealing with hours of bullshit.

bad version refers to your beta version. i havent updated to the newest one yet, so a downgrade should fix it. the correct version is in the main post of this thread mate Yes, tent have always and are still abit dodgy tbh, vehicles seem to work just fine though, so i would use it :D and since we have so many, it should not be a prob :) BTW i might be allying with some other admins and try to work out some of the bugs we are haunted by, as we dont get updates from the devs anymore :( still no eta on 1.7.3 and we dont know what will be changed yet. so it seems like custom fixes is the way to go atm, at least till the mod reached a stabil version <_<

Because no matter what, a server will have hackers. I have seen people spawn crates (recently), teleport all vehicles and my tents and cars have been gone (wiped). The game is getting way too hard with all this stupid Vehicle and Tent ESP
