Wow.. spoiled much? We keep one vehicle that is large enough to hold the people who play with us. All the rest are found and moved closer to the coast for anyone to find. We have already had several clans roll through and try to keep everything for themselves, they were raided and the vehicles distributed. Sorry you didnt find one sitting on a very high traffic area of the coast, perhaps looking deeper inland would yield better results.

Hey, "thatguy" (in game name). Is that you with the pickup truck, shooting at me at the NE airstrip as I rode up on my motorcycle? Are you stalking me? I'm not leaving that server until vehicles are fixed so, I guess... catch me if you can.

Did the server lose vehicles/tents? Or did all my stuff get found lol

Why not to try using it yourself? I bet your clan has some vehicle or tent city to stash stuff into so its not like you have to ditch your good ole DMR. Now I remember some peeps reported that vehicles and tents does not save properly (I would not know, because my playstyle is more of sticking to south then hoarding stuff up north) so maybe its a dilemma.

To clarify: There would be vehicles, simply no tents to dupe gear, no nightvision, gps or thermal gear available. It would be a private hive so you could not introduce this gear to the server without hacking and ban if found with it.

Have you EVER broke a rule in your life? Have you EVER gone 1 MPH over the speed limit? The way you talk on these forums, you NEVER do anything wrong, you follow every rule and law known to mankind. Sometimes commonsense has to kick in. If someone is using something that was NOT intended to be used, they are CHEATING. I can't say why the DayZ team sees fit not to do something about it, maybe they are just lazy, maybe they don't give a damn, I don't know. What I do know is that people who use weapons and vehicles that are not intended to be in the game will not play on our server, and I bet the majority of the other SA's out there agree with that.

As long as its a purchased unofficial hive server the most the admin can do is kick or ban. Hackers and bandits cost you all your gear and time.. Personally I don't see why anyone would even bother weighing the twos pros and cons. I see an obvious winner myself. Not to mention all the bugs that have been fixed on the lingor servers (tents, vehicles, artifacts, ext...) On my non-hive server I can make sure all players who join get to actually have fun without all that other BS. Bandit, survivor or hero, I can take care of these people A LOT easier without getting crap from the hive. I may be a little strict on the private hive, but I can almost guarantee the 10+ people I see join excluding myself and clan, have a better experience. Also not all servers edit the config to stupid shit. I have not and will not touch the vehicle count as it would take a lot of fun from the game. I like being able to hunt down things and not just take two steps and spot 6 vehicles...

To get as much great and as many vehicles as possible, but hey... alone is still boring? Just leave the guy be, play in a more fun filled server :)

Usually if you can see someone and spot their nameplate they will show up on the map for a little bit. Zombies say "man" and are orange, players and vehicles are blue. You can hear a vehicle moving more times before you will see it, get some headphones.

Server: US 790 Timezone: Eastern Time Date/Time: August 30, 2012 between 3:20pm and 3:50pm Hacker's Player Name: your gay lover What Happened: I was rescuing a friend who was bleeding and passed out in Cherno when I was shot in the back. The person who shot me stole my ATV and my gear. I started heading out of Cherno when I run into someone else with an ATV and this player was a fresh spawn. We start driving down the coast when this guy starts rolling down the hill fully decked out in a Ghillie Suit and L85 on an ATV. He chases us into Cherno where we run out of gas and I hide a roof with no ammo for my weapons. I end up killing the hacker with a hatchet as he climbs onto the roof. This is when the hacking begins, he immediately respawns and tries to steal the ATV on the ground, where I end up killing him. Then as I'm driving away with the ATV he respawns again chasing after me where I shoot him dead. After this I keep driving away and he keeps appearing in the street in front of me as fresh spawn where I keep killing him. Then he starts breaking out the better scripts and goes invulnerable and spawns vehicles in front of my driving out into the road. This is when I start recording in FRAPS, he has me get on my ATV with him in back and teleports me around the map and performs various hacks. The hacks include: vehicle spawning, flying, smoke trails, spawning a weapons crate with non dayz weapons, invulnerability, skin changing, exploding bombs everywhere, and other exploits. In the end he teleported me back to Cherno with my ATV and left the server. I refused to take any of the hacked weaponry and just took my ATV and gear I had found in camps in the Northeast corner of the map. In the end he only affected my humanity by dropping it to about -8000 cause I kept killing him but he did derail my dayz experience for about an hour. Proof/Evidence: I started recording a FRAPS video when he started spawning vehicles in my path every 10 - 15 feet and he had become invulnerable. Video is linked below, please make sure we can get this player banned. Skip to 4:11 if you want to skip my intro voice over and just want to see the video proof of his hacking. Thanks

More vehicles is a good thing. They are rare enough in DayZ with most of them being hidden off the map. I've been playing on private hives a bit lately because of the "This server is running an incorrect version..." error, but some are ruined by the retards spamming on side channel non stop over the mic with their awful play by plays.

Okay so two of my friends in the group always see everything and know when guys are if there around 500 meters to us! This is what they tell me " dude check your map you will see there names and a little yellow/orange arrow/circle. So everytime they see someone on the map i check my map or gps and they never show up at all??? Another thing is vehicles, they can do the same thing with vehicles as they do people, my friends know when there one near if its moving...Not me i never know were anything is...Im like a blind bat running around and it really aggravating to me...But i know the power of the map bc in COD if you have radar your deadly. Another thing if your wondering they do this on both types of servers nametags and no nametags! Thats it, if you can help me and know what there talking about thanks!

Current equipment: AKM, M1911, Alice pack filled with medical gear, basic tools Dream equipment: FN FAL( NV), coyote backpack( for carrying lots of medical supplies) M9 SD, NVG's, Rangefinder, toolbox The reason I would like these are that I am currently playing as a medic and occasionally people will try and kill me, I need a good gun to fight back against those who do try and steal my stuff, need a big pack so I can carry more supplies, NVG's so I can work safely on Night servers and a toolbox so I can repair vehicles so I can travel from city to city quicker.

This is a list of reasons why I avoid private hives, based on my experience of trying out 7-8 different ones: 1. Silly numbers of vehicles 2. Abusive admins (can't report them for kicking/banning/resetting/locking server because it's private) 3. Huge numbers of weapons not in DayZ 4. Obvious hacking by server owner, but can't be reported because it's private 5. Population is either very high or very low; have yet to play on one with 'normal' number of people, say 15-30? They've either been a ghost town (3-6) or totally full. Public hive has its flaws, but at least your biggest threat is hackers and bandits rather than the admin.

Also, keep in mind that occasionally after a server restart, the server will fail to load all tents and vehicles. They will be missing until the next restart gives them a chance to spawn properly.

2 And this: RULES! 1.) DON'T HACK! Our first rule, and one without any exceptions or excuses. If i catch you hacking on our servers you will be permanently banned. And we will find out. 2.) DON'T EXPLOIT! Don't use game bugs/glitches to your advantage. Don't dupe items, or exploit the hospital roof bug. You will get ONE warning, your character will be killed and your stats will be reset. 3.) DON'T BE AN ASS! Don't play music in the lobby or try to piss people off. Respect other players, even if you want to spend every day killing them ingame! SERVER MECHANICS! Our server isen't like every other server, and there are some things you need to know! First off, when you log off, no matter if you abort, ALT-F4 or pull your plug... Your character stays in the game for 30 seconds! Disconnecting from combat won't save you. Going out of bounds, that is leaving the map will result in your immediate, automagical death. It's quite easy to tell where the map ends, as there are no trees and no grass. Any vehicles or tents found outside the map borders will also be destroyed and relocated randomly upon server restart. Vehicles left unused for 7 days will be reset to their original condition. Sandbags, Wirefences and Tanktraps will be removed 7 days after their placement date. Tents left empty for 48 hours may get deleted without warning. http://zombies.nu/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/86/our-servers-rules-regulations But can not play because of my ping :(

the logo will appear only on vehicles, if you will play other mods it will also appear on your character clothes. the tag will only be visible in the players list and lobby screen. here is how it would look on models that got "place holder" for clan tag: http://fpsquad.rauta...mages/arma2.png all the info will be shown here:http://imageshack.us...1118080894.png/ in the player list menu. you can see all the info and the logo there. this is how it will look on vehicles: http://www.armaholic...r/img/clan1.jpg ___ Dr. Nats, I dont know if its a good idea to post your details here, I suggest you to fill this form: <member id="Player Id Goes Here" nick="Enter Nick Here"> <name>First Name ETC Here</name> <email>Email or Contact Info Here</email> <icq>MSN, SKYPE, TS, WHATEVER HERE</icq> <remark>Smart Ass Comment Goes Here</remark> </member> and send this by PM to Spaceghost. I don't know if sharing Player ID can cause any problems but I think its better to not to share it... ____ If medics will have this tag, players will be able to see if there any medic playing on the server and get the contact info if they need medical help. So its very useful

do you have vehicles turn on?

That's your problem. It's not all about your clan. Based on that statement alone, you are probably the type of person that will restart the server for the benefit of your clan (i.e. refreshing spawns in Stary Sobor), kick/ban someone for killing a clan member, kick/ban players to reserve slots for clan members when the server is full, etc. Here's my suggestion to you: Keep playing on your empty server with your clan buddies. You'll get tons of good loot, vehicles, and won't ever need to worry about being shot by hostile players. Have fun.

What about it? What did I post that was inaccurate? If you think I misunderstood the OP, you need to realizes it comes off like you think it's by design that helicopters don't save right now. Further, your post implies that you think ONLY helicopters have this problem and that it doesn't affect ALL vehicles. Right now, NO vehicles save on reset. So your post might as well be "Why repair any vehicle?". It makes no sense why you are isolating helicopters in your rant. It's clear you don't understand that vehicle saving not working is a bug, because you go on to say "helicopters last years and years in real life", which you wouldn't state if you knew it wasn't a design decision and in fact a bug. Therefore, *because* I read your OP thoroughly, I responded to your post in the context of you claiming it's a design decision and not realizing it's a bug.

Enjoyed the story. I have had those quite a few times now. Due to the vehicles not remaining I don't give a fuck anymore and all I do is murder people over and over....

My personal view is that a lot of the admins tweak the settings (vehicle spawns) and so on in order to bring it in line with what they think the game should play like. It's just not to my taste. I can see the advantages though. I saw one advertised as "50 vehicles per map!" as if that was a good thing, sounded more like wacky races to me.

same shit with my server , (vilayer host) , everytime i restart , all vehicles are gone , and all are respawned to its spawning locations , yesterday i've spent 10 hours going around , fidning parts , and fixing many of vehicles , atv's and the chopper , and i saved it all 10000 gazilion times , and when the server restart comes , bam , all gone

Saved tents disappear on current patch, The vehicles inventory would of re-set, but if he saved it then it should be where you left it (unless taken) Ghillie suits, Camo clothing, and any other clothing that may be introduced are removed upon death, and cannot be taken from bodies wearing them. (They need to be the item-form, you can't undress bodies :l )
