Hey. A group which I belong to were camping in northern Berenzino (we had three vehicles there), and they were gone after a restart. Right after the restart, we spawned in game and I heard a moped. I saw a guy with a ghillie suit riding a moped, which turned to be a red-orange Yamaha look-alike. Well, I shot him with my M4, and when I begun to loot his body, I found an AS50 TWS. I believe he was hacking, because the moped was fully repaired and full of fuel, right after a restart. Well, here' a couple of screenshots which I took: http://up.artificialanimation.com/images/arma2oa_2012-09-02_13-17-25-562-1346681890.jpg http://up.artificialanimation.com/images/arma2oa_2012-09-02_13-17-21-974-1346681953.jpg After 15 minutes, he had almost the same gear, and so did his buddy. Thanks in advance.

Stupid Hackers Tped all vehicles to prigorodky and fucked up the whole server, why not just make this a private hive and put a pass on. that is a solution many uses to counter hackers.

i guess it is because you are playing version 1.7.2.5. it is a bug in this patch. most vehicles reset to their original position upon restart. if you like to keep them try playing on some 1.7.2.4 servers.

The mod doesn't give you any objectives, so you have to make up some for yourself. It's only natural to try and control the whole server, "beat the game", and for that you have to beat all the other groups. That means finding their camps and stealing their vehicles and making them yours. Everyone is or would be a hoarder if they had a group. Except for the odd bicycle riding lone wolf.

Honestly?.. I usually dont give a rats ass about vehicles, Bicycles FTW, but thats about it... The clan i'm currently in currently thinks vehicles are way more importen then fighting off a raiding squad/player, I do not like Vehicles :P

We'll have to see what the owners of DAYZ think. because i'm pretty damn sure you cannot get banned from using hacked weapons, it's frowned apon from the community. But i'm pretty sure the g36c sd camo is exactly the same as the m4a1 cco sd. but with a holo sight which i find better. Anyways. From rockets mouth. You cannot get banned from using hacked weapons or vehicles. I'm not going to post again. Because i'm sick of explaining myself to people who clearly just wants to be a nusiance to others.

You do not need the toolbox for repairing vehicles. You just need the parts. The entrenching tool is useful in Arma2. You can use it to build a three sided foxhole that you can lay in. Would be nice if that was the case in DayZ. I suggested in another thread about hiding bodies that in order to hide a body you would need the entrenching tool. Other then removing tank traps, sandbags and barbwire ( toolbox needed but all things removed return at server restart so whats the point) ) I have yet to find much use for these tool items other then looking nice in your tool belt.

hi all, is this server able to save vehicles after server restart?

I second this. People make come as being arrogant when they nitpick on your spelling, grammar and syntax but you must not take it as a personal attack. Especially not by replying in an off-topic manner to your own topic to try and "show them who's boss". It's something to make a typo or to misspell a certain word repeatedly, it's another altogether to write lik dat and expect people to try and figure out the quirks and specifics of what amounts to your own personal language. So, to be on topic: ->Zombie spray; No ->Customizable vehicles (pimping); might be cool (note that "being cool" can often be detrimental to your survival, hence, contrary to the direction DayZ and the coming standalone might try to take) ->More store specific loot like hunting gear or military surplus shops; Good idea. Needs balance (you need to learn about loot tables). ->Military convoy "crash sites"; so, the equivalent of an helicopter crash site but low-med level military grade loot? Cool. ->Player customization screen; considering you think it would be more fun to play dress-up OUTSIDE of the game itself, I'd shoot down your idea if it ever came up on the board (and I had a say into what goes and what gets cut away) ->Kevlar and armor vests don't work the way you think. Look into them and come talk again. ->Better melee system; knocking out zombies instead of being lethal (and loud) or simply pushing them pack (without affecting them). Sort of a good idea. It really changes how DayZ/The Standalone would play. No objection but not in favor. ->Zombie hungry, zombie heard sound, sound mean food, food mean zombie no hungry no more... run away from food? I suggest you read into zombie logic. Check you local library and ask where the Undead section is. P.S. Did someone ever tell you how horrid your phrasing itself is?

Someone by the name of Fraser openly admitted to using scripts to both; kill all of the people on the server and spawn vehicles. I don't necessarily have proof, as I wasn't able to take a screen shot, however, there are bound to be others who were on the server at the time when he was scripting.

Ok so here is the deal. I run a server with a couple of friends and we fixed up this helicopter. Everything was fine and dandy we were hunting heli crash sites and having a blast in our new helicopter. On one of the heli crash sites we saw, we were going to land so I went to hit auto hover. Instead, I hit engine off, so my helicopter comes crashing down and I die. Fair enough, my mistake. Of what I have read, if a helicopter crashes it respawns immediately, in the same spot or from the original spawn point (this case skalastky island) Checked all heli spawns and nothing. So I go back to where I crashed the helicopter to begin with, and I restart the server. All off a sudden the helicopter respawns in the sky (where I turned the engine off) and comes crashing down and blows up killing me once again. So I go back this time with a cargo truck, and i respawn the server again to see that it comes crashing down from 50 feet or so and keeps blowing up everytime I restart, as it is stuck there or something. So I park the cargo truck directly underneath the helicopter crash site hoping to break its fall a bit.... Well that didnt work, just blew up both vehicles. So it keeps doing this over and over restart after restart and I am wondering how will my helicopter respawn if it just falls from the sky everytime I restart the server. VERY frusterating, any help will be much appreciated. It might be important to note my server has been running 1.7.2.4, but I also switched to 1.7.2.5 to see if it would make a difference, which it did not. Thanks!

I hope 1.7.3 will fix disappearing tents and vehicles. Nothing more. New features? I can wait for it month or two. And yes, ban all damn hackers! btw, guys, read news on home page - my glitches gone ;)

We caught a scripter trying to run the seagull script, and his 2 buddies were also constantly dropping off the server and reconnecting. We banned the seagull scripter and here is the log from the createvehicle log His other 2 "clanmates" were also banned for constant losing connection and reconnecting at the same time, also alt-f4ing We also retroactively banned 2 players based on evidence from remoteexec logs for attempting to spawn vehicles on the server.

That's what I'm more or less seeing now... There's no point even looking for stuff like night vision goggles, it just makes you a target for the hackers. Can't get vehicles, takes hours sometimes fixing them, by the time you fix them you gotta log off, and when you log back on they're gone... Tents don't save, or they save and give you unlimited items making them fucking stupid. No wonder people just run around shooting you on sight, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO DO. No wonder people hack, they spent the money buying ARMA2, they probably figure they're going to at least get a bit of fun out of it, and if they get banned then oh well they were sick of dealing with the constant glitches and BS and hearing nothing about anything ever getting fixed. But oh wait, there might be dogs. I don't know. I love this game. It's Alpha, sure, but the devolopers give us nothing, tell us nothing, and seem to ignore all the real issues while adding in new shit no one really cares about. I've been enjoying the game because I had the 'light at the end of the tunnel' but with tents and vehicles being completely borked, and absolute silence from the Devolopers about it, I'm just sick and tired of it. This isn't how you treat your community. It's the fans that matter, without us you wouldn't be working with a legitimate gaming company to introduce a stand alone that you stand to make good money off of... At least tell us what you think, let us know if things that are pretty much game breaking will be fixed or not. This last patch seemed to break a LOT more than it fixed... We need some way to build up a camp, or just store some loot. We need ways to deal with hackers, such as ALT F4ing that doesn't cause us to get teleported to the coast. I've never ever alt f4d in combat, most of the time combat is over before I'd even have a chance anyways, but with hackers.... I've alt F4d so many times, and to get ported wherever they send me, or to the coast if the servers decide I'm just trying to server hop... It's fucking stupid. Why did they do that, instead of focusing on real issues such as the hackers, or the actual gameplay...

I am alive for almost 50 dayz (check my sig, and hell yeah i am proud of it...), in that time went to Cherno, Electro NWa, Balota NI a...and saved some ppl with broken bones, gave few blood packs, got some vehicles (i actually avoid driving in vehicles, feel very vulnerable) gathered many vehicle parts, build many camps...but yes mostly I played on server with 10-30 players and important is no 3dp (no 3dp is the key for long surviving coz on those servers u have less sniper kiddies...), and i never go to Cherno just to shoot at players, and i never go to any hot spot if i don’t make recon, go around more times to scout and see if anyone is there, checking every bush/tree where someone could be hiding, avoiding shooting at ppl /not showing where i am/ ...and still i have 3 murders and 2 bandit kills (BKs not showing in the debug monitor but they are confirmed)..i shoot only if i cant avoid other players, or when i spot other players and i am in a Inferior position i will do the kill... When i go through the forest i run from tree to tree, bush to the bush...don’t run like a dog around without checking surroundings’ 360 all the time. On almost 50 dayz only one or two times i have been spotted before i could spot other players, but even than i had some sniper cover and got out only with broken bones and lost cca 5k of blood... in those 50 DayZ i have seen or followed like 20 groups of 2 and more players that were just running through the woods (once a 3 man group missed mi in the woods between cherno and Balota for 20m and they didn’t see me...I could take them out with my DMR but i am not a killer i am a lover... But that also means that i need much more time to get from one part of the map to the other... At the end i think, it is a Mather of decisions, do u wont to kill other players, do u play surviving game or COD...no one cant say that i am not an Active player, in those 50 dayz i think had only 2-3 days that i dint play DayZ, and when i play a play around 3-4 h, weekends even more if i have the time... Alt+f4: i did once abort when infected broke my legs after i had that awful glitch when u first spawn "dead" and next time u spawn on the coast without any gear not even a backpack, i was pissed off and frustrated without any gear trying to get to my body near Zub Castle, and in one occasion aborted in NWa coz suddenly i got the graphical glitches so i didn’t had a chance to defend myself, was just to stupid way to die... Hackers: once teleported to thunderdome, disconnected right away, once lost all my gear due hackers but ok, they changed all the gear to AS50 and m4 SD, full ammo load, but lost all my food and medical supplies, once they played "duel" with me through out the woods (damn i got scared this time, running in the woods near Stary and suddenly a car with headlights turned on spawns in front of me...), and once i hacker spawned near me in the forest trying to talk to me but I disconnected.. Yes it is possible, just be patient in the game… and of course u need some luck Oh yes, I play the exact same way on low pop servers as on high pop server, even if there are only u and just one player on the server there is a possibility that you too will meet somewhere.. GL&HF

I've come to realize, if you're trying to keep your character alive as long as possible, do not get in a vehicle. I've died more in the last few days from vehicles alone, than bandits, zombies, and hackers combined. My friends and I had a good collection of vehicles going and we had decided to move the cars to our new camp site. We each had a vehicle and drove it towards camp, we might as well have been flying B-29's over Berlin we we're dropping so fast. Not that my friends or I are bad drivers, but it seems if you even bump something your car blows up. We had a little over 10 vehicles, and we're down to 2 today. It is a long trip from the car lot to our camp, but it is ridiculous how easy it is to blow up a vehicle. Along with the easyness of blowing up the vehicles, you also have people wanting your car. When anyone see's a moving car they instantly start shooting it, from jealousy or just the want of a kill, people will try to kill you if they see you in it. Thank you for reading what I have to say about the vehicles, please feel free to reply.

I currently am kitted out with the following : (All the tools, for simplicity sake) G36C SD CAMO (9 mags, but it uses STANAG SD, so no worries) AS50 TWS PDW SD (5 Mags, but uses 9mm SD mags) Soldier skin in the tent, currently in Ghillie but i'm also Hero skin. I used to hate hacked weapons and I used to be a supporter that this shit should be banned off a server but then I said, why? Hackers will bring this stuff in constantly and it will never be taken out of Arma 2 because it's a weapon in the main database. What people fail to realize is that THIS IS A MOD OF ARMA 2. WHICH MEANS THE WEAPON DATABASE IS AVAILABLE IN THIS GAME REGARDLESS OF IT BEING DAYZ. Arma is a heavily modable(sp) game and thus allows this stuff to be brought in. No I want you to note, I do not advocate hacking or scripting rather in this game nor do I support these weapons being given out, but I will use it. Just like I use everything else I come across I am gonna use these rifles until I die. Then when I die (not if, when) I will go back to the coast and grab some randoms shit and start all over, it's the way of the game. I don't care if the weapon comes into the game, they don't make you a god because unless the person is hacking then they can be killed. What bothers me are the people who say 'Oh you use a hacked in weapon, you're just as bad as a hacker!' because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I'm not as bad as a hacker because the hacker scripted these items into the game, I just blew the back of his head off and looted the item just like I would anyone else I saw with a bandit skin. The big difference between me and a hacker for having these weapons is I didn't cheat to get them. Now if you want to play the pot meet kettle game let's talk about how most of the people in this thread have had their ammo reload on them while logging in and out. Accidental duplication of gear, backpacks when switching skins and all the other easy to recreate bugs that are in this game, are bugs and exploits. We all do them, we're almost all guilty of it, so thus does this make us all cheaters? Taking stuff out of tents now that 2.5 doesn't save tents vehicles? Getting off bikes to completely repair them and getting back in? Yeah, we all cheat in one form or another.

in 360+ hrs of gameplay ive only found 2 vehicles ! a bus and ute

Maybe there should be a stickied known bugs list somewhere? All this time, i thought someone kept stealing my vehicles. I have had about 2 PBX, 5 ATVs and a few cars, but i can't seem to keep them for more than a day.

Sad to say it is the latter, no traces whatsoever in logs. Now a freshly spawned player with full loadout is a dead give away, but when you are gettin like 10 of these cheaters an hour it sucks. And they don't spawn stupid crap either, just items within DayZ parameters, so unless you activly looking at each new player in the db you might miss it and if somone been playing for 5min then you can't really be sure they havent gotten their stuff legit :( Well doesn^'t matter I just wanted to make sure I hadn't fucked something up, not that i thought so cause im still gettin a few bans in on stupid skiddies who try to spawn all kinds of vehicles/artillery and really stupid stuff. ^^

[PpH] Frostycrotch was banned. He uses ESP and teleportation. He's actually a nice guy since he teleported one of my member around. I didn't even know hacks could teleport vehicles and players. Oh well. He uses ESP to kill and teleport to move. Anywho, i was going to ban him but i asked Ryahn first, since he's the one who's experienced and the HFB employee, and he banned him himself. No one can shoot me because i'm always camping and doing administrative duties. You only killed me cause you used ESP to shoot at me behind a hill. You killed 5 of our members using ESP. You also combat log when you get shot. PS: That base was moved a while ago. Welcome to go visit the empty place though.

suggestions from some of your truest friends and fans. no demands, no pressure... but I hope this list makes your mouth water :) I keep these points brief because there are many, but primarily because I want to give you basics. I know you have the talent and vision to bring them to life in fantastic ways if you decide to use them. COMRADES! If you like what you see, keep your beans and post instead! I only wish for Rocket and his team to have the opportunity to read what is below - nothing more! Not all of these ideas are perfect and many of them have been mentioned before Adrenaline - increased speed and strength in life threatening peril, with exhaustion following after Blood trails and pools bootprints and tracking ability to lock and barricade doors and windows ability to break locks with crowbar and barricades with that and ax ability to remove scopes and mods and jerry rig them to ALL kinds of weapons zombofication infection chance and a very very rare antigen. Find old frienda and put them to rest! graves amd headstones - ability to truly bury a corpse from this, the ability to really dig dragging living or dead bodies plus objects for barricades multichannel radios use of bare hands improvement to physical fitness over time and activity rope for all of its uses includong tying up players ability to make documentable missions ability to leap out windows ability to break specific bones swim underwater and chance to drown keep chance to lose items but givw us the ability to "tighten pack straps" to prevent loss; degrades based on speed and fast movement pitons and the power to climb planes (non military) trains to be armored or customized as invaluable bust risk mobile fortresses drugs - sedatives to incapacitate, cigarettes to stunt hunger ability to use regular objects like hunting knife, flashlight, chair etc in melee combat batteries and generators plus ability to engineer dismemberment and more realistic gore eyes partly adjusting to darkness chemistry and agriculture bullets do greater damage against living creatures, and less vs the undead (except headshots) making them the true menace they are setting wild fires ability to repair damaged structures zombies that can break through windows and barricades through strength of numbers addition of whistles, bells and birdcalls ability to dock boats and lock vehicles (can still break the windows to loot though) ability to verbally shout, giving direct comm much greater range but risking detection by zombies

I am currently on 12 days, my longest character so far, me and a friend have been playing together, looted Stary about 3 or 4 times and found 2 crash sites in the area around there, so doing pretty well on the survival side, got everything we need to survive in the wild, just really looking for Gillie suits (we have the normal camo's on) and vehicles now really, gonna hit up the NW airfield for the first time to see what we can get.

Vehicles in DayZ are hard to conceal, temperamental and scripters can summon them all to their location at any moment. The first day I found a vehicle I want on to find a heli and a bus hours later by using it. I then promptly crashed the chopper due to misjudging how much gas was needed, returned to my ATV and flipped it within 60 seconds. Then I tried to take the bus only to get it wedged solidly between two barricades in a major city. I found a car yesterday and fixed it up entirely, hid it well and today the server is offline for some mysterious reason. Easy come, easy go. Do not get attached to your gear. The funny thing is the more you lose stuff the harder you have to work to find more gear and in turn the better you get at attaining gear. If you stick with it you will soon be up to your balls in guns and rides. The only way you can really fail to be is by staying in Cherno or Elektro all the time.

HI, yesterday me and my friends were playing on a server. About 2min before a hacker connected me and my friend disconnected(one was still playing). The hacker threw everyone in the air and most ef them died. The server also had a restart about 30 minutes before. everything was fine, we went to our tent by car. disconnected safely. and then 2 min later the hacker occured. But before the server thrown in the air, my other friend who was riding a motorbike just died as if he was in debug zone all of a sudden. Now when i log on, our car is gone too and so are our tents. But there is no left overs of the tent, no crushed tent thing. Is it possible a hacker can teleport tents and vehicles too? or just erase them all?
