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

Hello, I'm wondering how I could go about having a DEV take a look at our InstanceID or if there are any issues that may cause what is happening to us. We have a pretty new server, not even a week old. Battleye works, admin commands work great and there really are no issues except for the fact that EVERY TIME we restart the server (hard reset, battleye reset, doesn't matter) our vehicles reset back to the spawn. I can't confirm if tents are disappearing but it may be happening as well. It's my understanding that vehicle resets cannot be done by modifying files (I didn't even touch the config files anyways) and that it's controlled by the backend/HIVE. How do I go about troubleshooting this? Does my host need to contact its source at DayZ? EDIT: This happened on 1.7.2.5 BETA 9061 and the most recent 1.7.2.6 BETA 96584. Multiple server restarts do not bring the vehicles back. The inventory in the vehicle is reset and the vehicle is in it's original, broken state.

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 :(

rofl yeh. thats a very nice clan tag hahaha. i hope you can live with it mate. theres gonna be alot of vehicles to find after the wipe, and your char will be fine :)

Brush yourself off and go find another vehicle and gear. Sucks but focusing on the loss will only make it sting more, take it from someone who has lost his fair share of awesome vehicles to bugs.

So I'm new to server admin, I'm not sure how to read the logs tbh and our server has been hacked three times within as many hours today. I've taken our server offline becasue its getting silly. All vehicles and tents moved to Solnichi island, invisible players where you can see the muzzle flash and puff of smoke from a players gun but you cant see the player. I'm getting funny things turning up in my remoteexec.log: "if (isnil ("trtrtrtrtr0n")) then {MYplayersobj hideObject true;};" "{ if((getPlayerUID _x) == '14157126') then { _x hideObject true; }; } forEach playableUnits;" Are these hacks, or am I seeing things where there is no evidence? Any help appreciated.

BTW, 2 weeks without matches or a map. Certainly doing it wrong. People who horde stuff in debug = bad. People who horde ANYTHING on map (vehicles included, whether we like it or not), are certainly "allowed" to do so as the capability is in game. Dupers, wells they're derpers. Hackers, with any luck they will discover that hacking video games causes rectal cancer, and spontaneous combustion. Otherwise, I haven't tried do make a tent in a VERY long time. But I will likely try to do so again soon, due to the fact that they save properly again. Play anyway you like, just don't hack, exploit, or grief, and you're AOK.

Hello there The armband ability is already built into arma. But it's just not enabled/programmed for many of the classes. Especially the civvies. But it IS doable and indeed works on vehicles and on *some* infantry armbands. rgds LoK

server is great fun, except of course for the corrupt admins. allow me to explain... Myself and my confederate 'Bum' found this server and where happily playing on it for 2 days and agreed with everything posted here so far. After jvo added the new vehicles we logged in and headed for the prison,hoping to upgrade our guns and gear. Shortly after setting off ,bum finds a spanking new SUV with an AS50 inside *SCORE*. we go back and save the gun in our tent. Next we drive to the prison and start looting-before long we hear a helicoptor piloted by what would turn out to be confederates of the server admin. so we drive off in the SUV chased my frantic LMG fire and the two of us are killed,no big deal. OK,we say-we have the AS50,lets shoot that sucker down next chance we get. However this is where the story turns sour,because whilst on my way to the tent,a heli piloted by our beloved admin is seen heading right for our tent location and sure enough when i reach the tent- the AS50 is gone,and different guns in its place. A real kick in the teeth, effectively saying 'here take these assault rifles,because we dont like your ability to respond to us in any meaningful way'. Later side chat talk confirmed that the admin,jvo "had to get our SUV back" and my response of "lucky the AS50 got stolen" was met with stony scilence. OK,so now revenge- we assume we are up against corrupt admin but what the hell. We follow our only plan which is to find and destroy said heli and SUV + whatever else they may have. Luckily the next day we spotted the admins heli flying back and forth from a certain area and assume this is their base location. We creep closer,takes us another day because of RL issues and then we reach the location. We spot zombies and then an AS50 armed player (xepher,also admin powers)climbing a tall building and we decide to try and flank. In front of us we continue to spot zombie spawns and advance,watching the hillside like madmen,expecting to get shot. CONTACT, both xepher and jvo are spotted in open ground and we engage,killing both and snatching up 'our' AS50. Victory? it was short lived. bum "we only came for our AS50" and then....... 2 days tracking and following a good hunch lead to myself and bum,being kicked from the server and then in subsequent group chat from the lobby we are branded hackers,and told we will get a global permanent ban. So if you want to play on a server controlled by corrupt admins,on a private hive- be our guest

Hey guys! We all know that many people get a car by hopping between servers at a vehicle spawn location. As these are easy to find with all the vehicle spawn maps on the internet most vehicles are already taken. So here's my suggestion : If there are ~200 different spawn points for every vehicle you can't just stay at one place and hop between servers. You need to search for a repairable vehicle by just walking around. That's just so much more realistic. Right now people know exactly where to search for a certain vehicle so that's pretty boring. With so many spawn points for a vehicle you could even spawn more of them as they're not found so easily. It just makes the game much more interesting and people would walk into each other more often. I hope you like the idea :) Please respond and share your thoughts with me!

Just want to give everyone a heads up. They're rolling the update right now. Watching your email, they're sending out info on how to update. Also,just a note. After update, if you do not having any of your tents or vehicles just WAIT. They're still in the database but some people are having issues where the objects are not being found. They're currently working to sort that out. The stuff isn't gone, it's just not being called into the game properly.

Yes having a script kiddie log onto your server and teleport all the vehicles way the fuck off the map is fun!! I'd rather deal with occasional artifacting and problematic tent/vehicle inventory saving then having some fuck head take the fun away from the server.

I don't think anyone hates people that acquire and store gear. But people do hate people that horde more vehicles than they need or can actually use.

Restart the server, Kick/Ban the hacker. Restarting the server will put most vehicles back at their last save point. Do this immediately, by now it is probably too late.

We were playing on DE 1081 19:21 (gmt+2) While we were driving we got teleported to an unknown place. About 20 Vehicles were standing around and someone started to shoot around. Friend instandly disconnected and i tried to save our Car. Directly after that we saw a Heli flying around with mYsT*TheNOX as driver.... do not know if he was driving when he was teleported, but i guess he was the hacker. people on the server: "V4in" "Dr. Nick" "mYsT*TheNOX" (expected script kiddy) "Sgt.Davidson" "Bir0m" "[uNA-A1]Owl[LtSC]" i just hope the standalone will come soon.... this week i've got 8 hacker encounters....

I havent checked this morning. Check back soon for more vehicles!

And we mentioned we saw 'mYsT*TheNOX' suddenly having a chopper <2 minutes after all vehicles (including the chopper) were teleported to 'the hacker'. Would like to confirm this report, witnessed 2 vehicles suddenly disappearing next to me and saw said chopper above Berezino with mYsT*TheNOX as driver.

Hi all, I've created this post to suggest some idea that could increase the already good realism of this excellent mod and its forthcoming standalone version. Some of these have already been written in this forum, so I putted here just to be complete. 1) Introduction of slumber: - Time of sleep should be from 1 to a maximum of 8 minutes (I know it doesn't simulate a real time sleep, but it is an online mod, so think about the consequences), depending on how it takes to recover the "slumber" bar completely. - Obviously a smart player would rest in a safe zone in order to avoid ugly surprises with zombies or bandits. - While sleeping the screen fades to black but you can still hear sounds around you, so that players can awake at any moment if they perceive something wrong (this would add suspence) - Introduction of sleeping bag - Introduction of cofee (that replenishes a small quantity of slumber, due to caffeine contained within, as well as coke) - Consequences of not taking care of sleep: high sway while aiming with weapons, all movements slower than normal (including sprint), probability to faint or falling to the ground, blur and strange shadows at the corners of your vision (the last one was suggested by Daerk) - Slumber should be implemented in a way that player shouldn't be forced to sleep every 20 minutes (you can if you want), but at least once a day. You can even stay 2 or 3 days without sleeping, but then you have to face its consequences - The "Slumber idea" could bring to the game more realism, thrill, strategy, preoccupation, awarness of the enviroment: in other words more DEPTH. - (UPDATE) Introduce a reward mechanic such as regenerating health (1 to 10 points per minute) and stamina (this idea was suggested by Moofactory) - (UPDATE) Sleep on the ground if you have to, but risk sickness from cold and rain and not regaining as much slumber than sleeping in a bed (this idea was suggested by OW22) 2) Zombies adjustments: - The fast respawn of unfinished hordes of zombies in the same area should be eliminated - Slower (a bit) the zombie sprint - At this point, to balance the whole thing, zombies should be harder to kill... - ...and should make more damage - There should be more zombies at night - This way, the challenge won't decrease and keeps going on high levels and, at the same time the credibility, the sense of fear and desperation increase a lot. These should force players to avoid zombies instead of confronting them: survivors have to think twice when there are zombies nearby 3) Introducing Specialties: - Don't get me wrong, I don't want a perk system like COD or Fallout - Only 2 Specialties: Medic, who can heal a little bit more health point than normal and Mechanic, who can repair vehicles and weapons (if one day there will be a weapon consumption feature) - Specialties should be earned through practice, so that a player experienced in healing squadmates finally should be able to become a Medic and to heal more health points for example (same thing then for mechanics that could repair a vehicle faster or to make weapons more durable) - In other words, the main aim of Specialties is to difference players slightly, without compromise the balance of gameplay - (UPDATE) A medic could do a successful blood transfusion without risk of infection, a marathon runner or athlete would be better at running and vaulting, also depending of the weight he's carrying (this idea was suggested by OW22) - (UPDATE) What about introducing some sort of questionnaire (gender at the beginning, previous occupation, obby, etc.). Depending on which character will be created through this questionnaire, players could have different loadout and spawn location. For example a mechanic may have a jerrycan, engine parts and a crowbar and spawn in house near a factory. A tourist may spawn in a house in a small coastal town or on the beach with a flashlight, beans, pepsi and a coyote backpack. A farmer may spawn in a barn with a hatchet, cooked meat and a couple of 2rnd slugs. Then you could have also have medic, policeman etc. Varying starting skins reflecting this could also be used and no further gameplay alterations are made (this idea was suggested by NobleBrutus) 4) Crafting: - The number of items a player could create should be slightly increased. Nothing more (this is DayZ after all, not Minecraft). - A little more fortifications (?) 5) Radio: - Nothing new to say about this, the forum is already full of posts about radio. Just I hope the developers DO NOT add any new media such as TV, Internet connection (depending on where/when the standalone would take place) - What about implementing Morse code? 6) Map: - Possibility to view the map together with your mates (one man or the whole team) if they are close enough, in order to set attack plans, routes, rendez-vouz, ecc - In this case should be introduced some kind of indicator while viewing the map together, such as a hand with a finger or similar, in order to make your mates understand what to do and where to go - (UPDATE) Label function with possibility to make notes and mark points on the map. Possibility to draw arrows from one point to another (this idea was suggested by Moofactory) 7) Misc: - Close combat should be improved (possibly not overpowered) - No unlimited sprint (also, only athletic players can run more than normal) - No currency (money), just bartering - More realistic visual and sound effect for thunderbolts in situation of heavy rain - Addition of actions like playing guitar around a fireplace or play cards with your mates during dead moments (I know this sounds weird or stupid, not all of you will be agree so let me know what do you think) - Improved phisics (further versions should fix this) - More player characters (same as above) - Remove flying vehicles: in a post-apocalyptic world, a player would logically escape from the island as soon as possible. This doesn't have sense if someone wants to play this game - Possibility to block windows and doors using wooden beams or other objects like a wardrobe, couch or armchair - Possibility to hide objects by putting them into a box and dig it underground - Introduce weapon consumption or some other alternative: for example, the player have to clean his weapon once in a while to keep it efficient, especially after he shooted a lot. (thanks ChazSchmidt) - Introduce seasons - (UPDATE) What about lockpicking? (this idea was suggested by OW22) - (UPDATE) Stamina is weakened by lack of sleep, water, food, or appropriate clothing (temperature/environmental conditions causing reduced physical capabilities). Being wounded would also temporarily reduce the maximum level of stamina for a period of time, even if you were just shot and then fixed up by Doc Wasteland's crew, you're not immediately "back to 100%". Instead, you must "take it easy" for a few days. You tire easier, and cannot run as fast, etc. Very slowly, your stamina maximum level regenerates to normal (this idea was suggested by Daerk) That's all for now. Let me know what you think about. I will keep editing this page. PS: I apologise for my English.

If you want your vehicles to reset, just restart your server. It will respawn the heli. That is what he asked for, that is what I told him to do. Venthos you must have some kind of social awareness problem because the OP clearly just didn't understand what he meant by restart, he just wanted the helicopter back. Once again, I'm gonna give you leeway and assume that you have a different host and maybe restarting your server doesn't respawn all your vehicles. Hell, you claim that a restart would wipe tents which has never happened to me so obviously things work differently on your server (or you don't understand it, can't tell really because you got all defensive). It does for me on my server though, so if you don't know what you're talking about maybe just bow out of this thread gracefully and save some face instead of calling me "dumb".

In a couple days the server is going to receive another update adding roughly 40-50 more vehicles. This will bring the final spawn location count from roughly 50 to 160 or so. Also as a heads up I am not updating the server to 1.7.2.6 until I am sure it is not going to be more harm then help. Figuring that out will probably take the next couple days while the other servers find the bugs and problems. I know there is a already a problem with the debug menu and hunger/thirst so it will be interesting to see what else pops up. The vehicles and tents saving properly is nice but it really isn't currently a problem on lingor420 and hasn't really ever been.

This is the guy I was talking about, some self entitled asshat who thinks this game is finished. Who gives a shit about your gear and tents, cry me a river I have lost so much stuff and never whine like an idiot. The vehicle issue is a pain but if they ever fixed the debug plains and forest and wiped any gear stored there this problem would not exist (you would just find more vehicles stored on the map). Finally, nobody gives two shits that you were killed by someone, brush yourself off and go gear up or quit. Met at least one last night (teleported to our location and I know this because I watched him appear and head straight for us) and then was killed by a L115 (hacked sniper rifle) and once again know this for a fact because we killed two in the group (including the sniper) and found all hacked weapons. Still happens but admins can ban without all the fuss.

I can't stand bandit's with ghillies and AS50's killing new spawns in cherno and elektro. It would soley be a squad for fighting and gathering gear on the northern part of the map, and finding/repairing vehicles. Only reason I would even venture south would be to counter snipe douchebags picking on new spawns in cherno or elektro.

Christ sake. I am not coming here to ask how or if I can do this for the explicit purposes of getting a helicopter. The fact I want this done is because it appears that a hacker has taken the chopper. There was a hacker box next to it with you know EVERY item in it. So obviously that is how he fixed it. I am investigating the server further for other vehicles to see if they have in fact gone missing as well. the server has been up a week at the most. So to reiterate. I want my server restarted so that the hacker abuse can be undone. I very much doubt people have put lots of camps up in such a small space of time when there has only ever been 10 at peak times on this week.
