Yeah this happens more often now? Or is it random and I have just been unlucky lately? Does anyone know if the vehicles go to some previous save or re-spawn in one of the spawn areas?

We have 2 servers now- Our public server is busted but so far our private server is saving vehicles at least. Problem using a private hive server is you start over - so effectively you have 2 characters or more (depending on how many private servers you join). So the Priv server guys are fixing the issue that the devs aren't - why are the 2 not talking to each other?

Anyone know if there is a scripts/remoteexec.txt entry that can detect players warping vehicles around the map? We had someone do it last night while I was in the vehicle. absolutely nothing in the scripts/remoteexec.log files when it happened.

Well as one of the "camp owners" and only 1 of 3 admins that can take down the server, I'm call BS. Proof or it didn't happen. While I appreciate you're a shit head for blowing up vehicles, I was long asleep by this time. Dazoe, fried his video card recently, so he can't even play the game (2/3 admins). Red_404 is the only other admin that would have been awake, and he's not a huge fan of this game, so I doubt he was playing, and I really doubt he was with the guys in the huey. Also, you only show how dumb you are from your statement... Anytime the server is restarted, the huey returns to Skalisty island. It's been that way since it was brought back. I'm sure all of our vehicles are destroyed though, as they don't respawn back after being blown up. So getting to my next point since all anyone can ever do is yell out admin abuse these days, is why would we have restarted the server? We wouldn't have gained any benefit from doing so. Other than popping tents back up that you would have knocked over. And again, that requires an admin to restart. The guys flying around the huey last night are guys that join our mumble. Something I recommend you try sometime. The other thing, every 10 minutes there's a global message that says something along the lines of questions? comments? concerns? - contact us at [email protected]. I see several emails from other players complaining two players teleporting around, being killed, and coming back a minute or so later and killing them. Yet I don't see a single email from you. So, from what I can tell. Something crazy happens, and instead of contacting the admins of the server, you get on here and cry admin abuse? Like always, I will look into this incident and I will find out what happened on the server around the time you made your post on this forum crying. We don't abuse our server, if the server goes down it's for 1 of 3 reasons, normal restart which will be warned in chat first, emergency reboot due to someone scripting (short warning in chat), or crash. Yes, this game does crash. Especially if someone sets off a bunch of satchels at once. I've crashed my own server setting off 15 satchels at once. Add in the number of vehicles you were destroying at the same time. That's one theory at least. Anyway, I'll talk to the other two admins and the guys on mumble (that you shot in the huey) and find out what happened and I'll post back here. Go ahead, we welcome you. It's just more players on our server. We enjoy having players on our sever, which is why we don't admin abuse our server. And your post just seems like it was wrote by a 10 year old. For every 1 person that complains about our server, I can find 5 more that praise it. Maybe I just need to have them start flooding the forums that you crying infants. And "DayZ developers.... get your act together"? Really? Most flaws of this game come from ARMA II, and DayZ has already officially announced it will become a stand alone. So stop bitching about the flaws of this ALPHA MOD. As server admins, we bust our ass off trying to keep the server clean of script kiddies and keep the game fun to play as much as possible. It's not easy, and we get a lot of other players that think every time something happens to the server it MUST be admin abuse. All in all, you're not the first player to find our camp, you won't be the last. It's part of the game, and we loose vehicles every day. I don't care if we loose the vehicles, and I know the other two admins don't care cuz they hardly play.

Same problem here, but I run 2 servers. 1 of them spawn the vehicles but at server restart they go back to their original spot with no repairs at all and tents do not save items, but they are there after server restart (no items in it ofc). The other server vehicles spawn as well but when server restart the vehicle you have turn into another vehicle or just go back to spawn point, example, I had a heli, ural, quadbike and 3 tents full of stuff, server restarted and the heli became a tractor, ural became a bicicle, quadbike was instact (OHHHH) and the 3 tents were still there but no items inside of it. This is pretty annoying considering we are paying least 30€ for a server that is not working. Not because of the server provider, but because of the mod itself. The older server is around a month old and the new one around 8 days. Just going to play on other people servers and stop paying for mine, this is the last month I'm paying for both servers if this problem don't get fixed until the end of the month. Had enough.

My experience is that even on vet servers, vehicles are red (even when unmanned), players are green and players with ghillie on don't have a blob. It's horrible, please get rid of it: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/40929

Hey guys, Got an email from ViLayer saying that updating my servers to 1.7.2.5 + Aram 96061 will help prevent a lot of the things hackers can do like creating items and vehicles. I'm just wondering if I can apply the new Arma2 patch and keep my server at .2.4 as I don't care to play this game if I can't save items, vehicles etc. Will this still provide the updated security if my DayZ is an old version but my Arma2 is up to date?

HAHA asharak ,t his must be the dummest most retarded report iv'e ever seen , someone killed u and u automatically blame the admin for that just cuz he's been online, wow , how pathethic. When ur items disappear from tents , and when your vehicles vanish , will u blame the admin again=? let me give u an advice if ur so unhappy and if u lack some basic logic , put out 50 euros and buy urself a server huh?

Me and my friend played some days on this server and we built a camp with 2 tents and 2 vehicles we saved them as it should. But the next day we log in all the content of the tents and the vehicles itself disappeared. Is this caused by server restarts? Is there any chance we can get our stuff back?

US 836 is having server shutdowns whenever their vehicles are lost? WTF is up with this game? Hacking, cheating, abuse... it's all at a level beyond comprehension at this point. DayZ developers... get your act together.

Found and repaired the helicopter, server resets the day after. Heli and two trucks gone. Found and repaired helicopter again yesterday, today our entire base is gone, all four vehicles gone, including the tents. This time even the tents are gone. Just want to warn people so they dont waste their time.

I wanted to play something like "Civilization" where players live amongst one n' other choosing their house. Also having caps, store owners, ect, ect. Buying, trading, vehicles, and with the ability to have 50+ players at a time would make it all the more better. Civilization, but with zombies... Or even just play it in Arma II itself on the same map would be fun too. It'd need more elaborating on, and rules, ect, ect. Your idea sounds like fun too though! I would have never thought to do that. :D Edit: You'd definitely need bandits in my idea too, or cops would be useless...

It doesn't save to hive when it comes to tents and vehicles. Or I would really love to keep my .338 Magnum sniper safe... You got to love hackers that suck.

The road that runs North to South into cherno. So many vehicles spawn in cherno, and there are many places to set up a decent kill zone.

If you want a complete server restart then you have to contact the devs and provide a valid reason why you want one and if they feel sorry enough for your excuse then they will provide you one. I also rent a server from vilayer and while using 1.7.2.5 I had the problem with tents and vehicles not appearing after a restart so I had to do another restart to make them appear again. Their lil hotfix they wanted for the weekend did nothing but break more things and fix nothing. So if you are running 1.7.2.5, just revert back to 1.7.2.4 and everything will be great. Minus the occasional artifacting. Other than that all vehicles and tents are saving correctly for me and every restart nothing disappears anymore. Also when I reverted back to 1.7.2.4 all my vehicles reset back to their original spawn point. Our helichopper even reset back to the island that we recently crashed. The only thing that didn't reset was one white pickup truck.

yeah hangers are counted as outdoors due to vehicles being able to spawn in there some times..try taking a military zombie into the plane tower and they will slow down to walk still

Dear OP, Don't worry, this game is full of laughs and giggles, so just enjoy them when you can. This forum however, is full of people who like to call you silly names and try to hurt your feelings. For whatever reasons, I can only guess, but I would think it is because they can do it and hide behind the anonymity of the internet. If they tried it at the local shops, they would soon have no teeth. Personally, I like to aim for the legs, and then watch them bleed out through my binoculars. I tried having a positive humanity, but discovered pretty quickly that zombies respawn faster than the ammo does, people keep finding the vehicles I try to hide, and the server admins hog all the choppers. The Lee Enfield is a fantastic leg-breaker, and they spawn all over the place, as do binoculars. Yours sincerely, Bandit BIO

My only problem with vehicles is that people who own a helicopter or those who play on low settings find your own vehicles too easily. On lowest settings you can just x-ray through trees to find all the tents and hidden vehicles with ease. And thats fucking annoying. A few days ago I hid my ATV in a place where no-one could ever look for. It wasnt visible to any direction in all the grass and trees. Still some helicopter group had stolen all the jerry cans from it the next day. What comes to clans, they are usually pretty stupid and hide their vehicles up in the north or just somewhere at the map border in the most obvious places.

Inventory management should not let you lose items, no matter how wrong you do it... I suppose the engine has its limits, i understand it, just pissed me off. The shotgun-shells being gun-specifig is just unforgivable to me, i can however forget shotguns for now. SNEAKING past zombies should be doable, but it aint. I have to CRAWL, not "sneak" and while its very effective, its also very, very slow and thus very boring. I've tested quite some and it seems to be impossible to sneak up on a zombie AND couple that up with the fact that axe/crowbar have like 5% chance of hitting their target its impossible to "stealth-kill" zombies in your way. I considor myself very good at "sneaking around" but i have never ever had all three items, knife, axe and matches in my inventory at the same time. Even looting "high-value" places seems often quite bad loot-wise. It isnt very "rewarding" to crawl 30min past bazillion zombies only to find truckload of shotgun-shells your shotgun cant even use and some empty cans... Cmon, Mcgyver could make a friggin nuke out of those alone! Navigating i can handle, trust me, i've been in the army and if you dont learn it there, your probobly still are in the woods trying get home ;) While i get the fact that vehicles are kind of a luxory and all, but the distances are a pain. And why are there TONS of vehicle-wrecks and nothing in em!? One problem is the "loot-spots" feel a bit generic and there aint that many, forcing me to search sertain spots over and over again... While crawling around, very, very slowly. I "want to like" this mod, i love all things zombie-related and this survival-stuff but i cant find many parts i can truely enjoy.

Does this work for players aswell? I've only seen it on z's animals and vehicles.

Yes, purely to support his server and/or ideas he has with it. That's what I understood, too. ;) But the problems regarding vehicles/tents are the dev's problems, so I don't understand how he wants to fix them himself (or will he go private with his server(s)?) As long as that stands in the way between beeing able to play dayz for let's say 50% instead of 100%, I am not really willing to dish out more money for that game/mod. That said, I'm looking forward to hearing Remco'S ideas/plans soon.

M107 Pros: +Functioning mildots +Smaller profile +Zoom's in further. +Can zoom with right mousebutton (faster in critical situations). M107 Cons: -Heavy recoil. AS50 Pros: +Stonger against vehicles +Lower recoil +takes both kinds of ammo. AS50 Cons: -Incorrect mildots -Large profile Personally, as long as it's against infantry I prefer the M107.

You are totally right. Like i said at the opening post - vehicles and tents are things that keep me and my friends playing. Without the possibility to store items or to drive around/fixing cars etc there is nothing to do for us in Chernarus. Is there any Thread or something where bugs are reported? We should show the Dev Team that this is a huge problem and that there is almost everyone involved...

i think that it would be better for there to be more vehicles available, but just a lot less vehicle part spawns, as realisticly there would be a lot more than around 20 vehicles in a 225km2 map but finding vehicles parts would be very hard. i just think there should be more vehicles as things like car chases would occur and that would be awesome :)

Having vehicles is like putting a target on yourself. Same with pitching tents. I found when I stopped pitching tents and using vehicles the consistency with getting killed with hackers dropped dramatically. I kind of caught on after 3 nights in a row of pitching a tent and then proceeding to get killed by a teleporting godmode hacker that they don't like them. Alot of hackers don't like hoarders and tbh, neither do I.
