i found this bug with my vehicles, basically when something is damaged, lets say your driving and everything is green and you hit a rock and the hull goes yellow. although the rest is green after a server restart the rest of the car parts will downgrade to meet the lowest standard (in this case our yellow hull). might want to report this on here

Would be good, if you could somehow camouflage your vehicle somewhat, when leaving it parked in a forest. If I was to be in a situation such as DayZ describes, I'd surely take some time to decently cover up a vehicle after parking it somewhere. And in the woodland area of Chernarus, there's definitely no lack of shrubbery, branches, etc... to do this.

Making this thread to promote our server. There is no lag, very very fast loading (paid extra to hosting company for this) And there is almost always an admin in. DE 615 which has been up now for about 3 weeks. We (admins) took a lot of vehicles and fixed them up and hoarded them (Realising our mistake of not leaving much for other players), we decided to blow them all up so they respawn in a few days. We took every vehicle we came across because, well, we couldnt resist. Having more vehicles for random player we thought would give them more reason to come back and call our server home. We dont shoot unarmed newbies, but will be rather aggressive if we stumble upon armed survivors/bandits in the area we happen to be in. We have very good cheat detection scripts in place (server side) and hackers will be banned from the server with a global ban application made immediately with server logs used as evidence. We also have our own website where if you suspect someone of cheating you can log the time of the incident, post on our forums and we will check for any wrong-doing. Look forward to a more populated server! It gets dark at about 9-10pm GMT Vetran Settings, Crosshair enabled, no player name display, 3rd person Active. Our website is www.1hw.co.uk

From the DayZ wiki 5.1 UAZ 5.2 Skoda 5.3 ATV 5.4 Motorcycle 5.5 Old Bike 5.6 GAZ 5.7 UH-1H Huey 5.8 Offroad Pickup Truck 5.9 Bus 5.10 Tractor 5.11 S1203 van 5.12 V3S Civilian 5.13 Ural Civilian 5.14 Old hatchback 5.15 Fishing Boat 5.16 PBX 5.17 Small Boat only Legit vehicles in game. Black SUV's are not legit. and are hacked in.

Hello everyone, recently into my possession i obtained 2 vehicles, a red car, and a white pickup truck they Belonged to an old lady (i swear! no scratches!) they are on a EU server, if you're interested, leave me a note here ^_^ -Teairra

vehicles can be destroyed or stolen, and doesnt dupe items like the tents?

My guess is you're using 1.7.1.5 ? It seems to be a common bug :( Don't bother with vehicles as you won't ever keep them. See the list of known bugs > http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Known_Bugs

Hey We have recently set up a Dayz server and he have came across a slight problem bit confused as well We have a automatic restart at 6 am and when that restarts our vehicles are not where we saved them , they have gone back to there spawn Could Anyone help us ???

I disagree. What about vehicles, then? Tents are a boon for better players. It makes loosing top tier equipment less painful. Also it gives better players the freedom to dare to experiment more in-game, without fear of loosing it all. Even further, it makes it much easier for teams to cooperate by setting up camps. Without tents, there wouldn't be much point in having a camp or even team up. Again this makes the game much more interresting Also, there's always a chance lower tier players can find a tent by chance. In fact, once I adopted a more tactical gameplay, and started understanding the mechanics of "the hunt" I also started to find a lot more tents. It also made the game more fun, as I could investigate the trail of better players, and maybe even hunt down bandits. Without any such clues, the game would be boring, and I might as well play COD. Without clues, there is no hunt.

Downgraded to 1.7.2.4 / 95883 again, but the tents and vehicles still doesn't save. :( Any suggestions?

Ok i can log on again now, he said his rcon client banned all players when he banned someone spawning in vehicles. Then it crashed and he couldnt reconnect.

Your ban has been reversed, it was me and I was wrong and it had nothing to do with finding vehicles I was just looking at logs. There was another guy banned wrongly at the same time not with you guys and his has been reversed too. Around 10 minutes after the ban happened. With so many scripters, jasons, invisible people, vehicles getting spawned in left right and centre im getting sick of it and im hardly playing. Also trying to protect the people that are playing. Your welcome to come back if you want, my bad :( edit : also if you need to speak to an admin because of a ban or you see scripting etc jump on ts it would be sorted faster, the ts is in the MOTD.

I wana ask for more Admin power, first of all let me say I am not an Admin, Don't want to be an Admin, I'm just a player. The server I play on is getting hammared by hackers, and the very very sad truth is that almost 100% of the time the hackers have more control over what happens on the server than the admin does , and that's mental, he can kick them if he see's them in the act but failing that he needs to wait for a while before he can parse the logs with some script or other to weed out the actions being performed. Admins should be able to spawn Vehicles, as Vehicle loss is one of the biggest things people get when a hacker joins their server, driving a road taking supplies back to base, hacker tp's you to some far off place and you lose your car, or they tp to and take the chopper, or they just tp around the map blowing up all the vehicles. I would like admins to get a message like "Player has just spawned an ammo box,Car,Gun" and be able to make the server spawn a specific vehicle, for example if some one takes the chopper the Admins should be able to tell the server, we need a new chopper and the server would then spawn on in normally. Lets be clear im not talking about giving the admins the ability to spawn things in front of themselves, but rather the ability to tell the server, Hay a hacker blew this up we need a new one on the server. Finally letting them add people to a ban list from in game would also be a nice touch, having to force them to go to the backend and add ip's and id's to some file seems like more hard work when it can easily be done from in game and letting the server handle it. I know there are some admins that are dicks, but I think most are not, most just want to enjoy the game and hackers are wrecking it, its then the admins that get it in the neck "OMG hacker took my car do something" or "OMG hacker blew up my chopper and stood there while we shot a million bullets at him that did nothing" etc etc. these people work hard and play long hours to get their stuff , so anything you can do to allow admins to resolve and fix some of the damage would go a long way I think.

i had a as50 with like 7 mags a 2x ghillie suit, 3x m9sd with 17 mags, rangefinder and nvg but then i was bored and jumped off a roof and died, now i play with a group and we have a lot of vehicles and other rare stuff :)

Hey, Cookie... Looks like I'm just the kind of person you want to play with... I have played DayZ for 4 months, and only have 1 murder. (Was at one of my first lives and that dude asked me to kill him and take his gear cause i saved his life :D) I'm hanging around on low-populated servers and loot minor villages and stuff... I have been looking for a partner who want's to play this game as it was meant to... A zombie apocalypse simulator, NOT like COD! My interests in this game are: . -Looting towns(not large ones), gas stations, farms, tree-stands, etc. -Finding and repairing vehicles. -Finding tents and making a good camp near a lake, etc. -Clearing farms that are long distance from towns and cities so you can use gunfire... (some nice action :P) -Sometimes just sitting next to a campfire at night and look at the stars. (witch are well made and realistic in this game! So, if your interested then add me on Steam: Emperor of Finland PS: I know that the Internet is full of traps where people say there friendly and shoot you afterwards. <_< But you can trust me, this IS NOT a trap!!! I'm just as desperate to find someone nice to play with as you are. :) And remember: Its not just about surviving, its about HOW you survive!

but really. how do they always manage to have 2 people in the server. and still someone is on the tiny spot of the 255km where my chopper/car is. really. hackers know where vehicles are -.-.

This is because differences in game mechanics between ArmA 2 and its' datadisc Arrowhead (+ PMC, BAF and ACR DLCs): optics and NVG - only vanilla weapons can use NVG when using scopes (CZ550, M16A4 ACOG, DMR...), Arrowhead weapons not - but there have often backup sights, NV or thermal sights or laser attachment for night combat backpacks - only Arrowhead units can use backpacks, but not when they have MG or heavy sniper rifle flashlights and lasers - only new weapons have working flashlights and lasers (M4A3 CCO, L85A2 AWS, G17...), those from vanilla game (M4A1 CCO SD, M16A4...) don't work flares a missile warning system - most of military helicopters (even from vanilla) and some planes have them, so they can avoid being hit with AA missiles thermal optics and thermal maps - all Arrowhead units, vehicles and maps have different thermal maps depending on how hot the certain part is, some weapons (AS50, L85A2, XM8, M110, M107, SCAR-L/R and even one variant of AKS-74) and vehicles (AH-64, M1A2...) have thermal optics.

also low chance of spawning in military vehicles nope he is talking about soldier suits

I highly recommend you all try the Lingor flavour of DayZ. I have played cherno dayz for 3+ months now - 100's of hours. Some boring and some so heart pumping i am sure i have shortened my lifespan (and have played ARMA1/2 OFP for years and years) and while i was tiring (mainly due to the groups i played with drifting away and me getting lonely) I have moved to Lingor and am addicted all over again. Intense PvP, vehicles galore, much less script abusers, crazy map that is smaller but more richly drawn, more challenging player skills (vets?) its awesome.

Then I've found broken spawned vehicles. I don't think that's the case. And yes, you can destroy a bike by driving it over :P

A )The first chopper me and my clan fixed up had red text, in fact still does B )when vehicles are destroyed they have a set time till they respawn, it could be a spawn loaction or a script kiddie could have spawned one on front of everyone (only thing i can think of)

You can still play on your outdated server even if you update your client, just not the other way around. I was able to at least. I've been content with HFB. Nothing too bad but nothing special either. Nice uptime. Their support likes to ignore your questions and they won't add more integrity checks on .pbo files aside from plants because it's 'too resource heavy'. Any HFB server is just begging to get exploited to shit by the popular new douchebag technique of removing buildings to horde vehicles in them or shoot people.

Good shout, when my group started in DayZ we chose the Kamenka area for our camps, then headed more northwards when we matured into restoring vehicles (not quite Goba but we've found plenty there too :)

Hey! I just found a broken pickup truck and i was thinking of repairing it but i keep seeing people posting that vehicles and tents are not saving. Is this true for all servers on 1.7.2.5?

I have seen videos in youtube where people are using L85A2 AWS, and in these videos, all vehicles have a high thermal image and I assume it is because they were just recently driven. Do they always show up hot or will the vehicles cool over time?
