my brother came up with a prett cool idea of having buildings connected via a sewer system. You could access buildings from this area and travel somewhere below the zombies. You would also run into some othe people so it would lead to interesting moments where you see somone elses flashlight and you hide. Another cool things would be more vehicles and have crashed planes in areas. And a big thing more rooms bigger buildings. And mini stories like a crashed truck with some dead soldiers around it and a rifle or 2 with some ammo. That'd be cool to see that before the infection people were living their lives. Finding a shotgun in a country house would make sense or in a farm where loot like that would be common. Also maybe a market or a survivors heaven where you go in unarmed and trade gear for food or medical supplies.

Well i have seen a many it times a hacker connecting a server and he gets "banned" but after a while its seems that he's retrying connection until they succefully connect, something about buffer-overflow? Asuming that they get on server and play for 10-15mins before they get kicked they spawn stuff for their "non-hacking" account vehicles/equipment/anything what you can imagine.. or in worst scenario they use mass-destruction weapons or something other nasty things.' Its a theory.

I stole the Russian 4x4 (UAZ) from a campsite, only to have it despawn on restart.... or so I thought. I then found it at the... North East Airfield :/. it still had the gas that we had left in it, and also had a bunch of military equipment in it, including one of every color Smoke grenade, 10 SVD mags, and ~ 10.... RGO Frag grenades? I've never seen those before, are they hacked? I know military vehicles sometimes spawn with gear, and it also had a tent.

I found one right next to the huey spawn, the heli was gone though. The ATV had fn fal, m14 aim, m16acog, and a slew of other weapons and equipment. The only way to get an ATV on the island would be to hack it in right? I mean there isn't a vehicle in the game that can transport other vehicles. That ATV isn't an amphibious vehicle (to my knowledge). So hacking has to be the only explanation, but why store a bunch of weapons in it if you could just hack them in?

Duping isn't random, but a LOT of it is accidental. Try moving stuff between campsites right now, half the time it dupes on server restart and the other half it respawns in its previous location. Vehicles have a nasty tendency of doing that too, or just getting gobbled up by the server randomly. Have I taken a Ghillie from a tent, saved the tent, and found it back again after restart? Yes. I've saved and then run over my old tents to try and destroy the crap items from falling into someone else's hands/ prevent the items from respawning there, and its no use. I've never intentionally duped, but it still happens. Every time I find a hacked weapon I destroy it one way or another. I like to think that I'm trying to play the game correctly, but the game gives me the big middle finger quite a bit.

Divvy, I think that political factor is what will make it interesting. Kills/defending kills wont be black and white. They will use the ask first rule Im guessing and weigh the facts. If they dont have enough to punish the person on scene, they will treat it like any case with minimal to no evidence. Plus if Im not mistaken, and you can see someone soon enough, cant you scroll your mouse wheel over a body to see how it died? not sure what details it gives though, some just say 'killed by....' and nothing after. But I personally think what they're doing with the Coalition is a brilliant idea! it puts a lot of fun into a game that is such a sandbox world. I mean hell, they could have mechanic crews that constantly gather and horde parts, let people bring their vehicles to them and trade for fixing up a vehicle. or offer to 'sell' a vehicle for A LOT of weaponry or medical supplies or something. the options are endless when you only have your imagination as the limit. I like the idea of being more of a lone wolf with good relations with others, and being able to help if needed, sort of like what Im doing with the TMW right now. Ive been saved twice, but have been running around with them to offer my gun and help find vehicle parts. Its hard to do as a solo 'treasure hunter', but Ill figure it out. its all part of the game!

Vehicles reset each restart and tents don't save items on 1.7.2.5, most of the time. Did it just respawn on the island or did you actually move it somewhere and it's location has saved just damaged?

dev could probably do it, but then you'd probably beg for more :/ atleast most people would, you'd lose the survivor taste. As for the 7 day grace period for vehicles spawn. Im pretty sure it works like this. (not 100% since i don't own a server, but it makes sense as to why your vehicles haven't spawned yet) Say vehicles spawn on friday night. You buy a server monday, instead of adding you to the list now, it's automatically added EXACTLY after 7 days. so it'd be added after the respawn vehicle date. so you'd have to wait till the following friday to get the vehicles. just my 2 cents, just might be a lack of communication, they say 7 days, but really its a bit longer then that depending on when you bought your server and when the vehicle spawn time/date is if there is even a set one lol. edit: before you ask why they couldnt just tell you the date they spawned. You'd just camp all the vehicle spawns on any server, even if you didn't own one and it'd get out to the public eventually. Also how do you know they haven't spawned yet and you weren't sleeping or something? Don't think the server keeps track of vehicle spawn but im not quite sure.

Do no vehicles survive a single server restart with 1.7.2.5 ? :o

You can't put tents/vehicles outside the map boundaries any more, they wipe on server restart. It's been that way for a while now, just to be clear the map boundary is the black line, where all grass, trees, shrubs stop, past that line are the debug plains I dont mind your ideas about a wall etc though, could add to the narrative, alternatively they could just have more ocean/beaches up that way

well, as most of us know, some players have taken a liking into hording items such as vehicles and tents outside the map, where no zombies and most players wont be able to get to due to the inability to spawn and (often) player luck, and according to a mechima, rocket is trying to put a end to such activity, this kinda gave me a idea ... why don't we put obsticals around / wall in the map? the idea is that around the boundrys of the map, obsticals such as rocks and dense forest (dense enough players cant pass through) and possibly, military built walls made to contain the infection, this will help in keeping players in the map instead of exploiting the outer area of the map as for the man-made walls, i had 2 ideas for them 1.) they are unmanned, possibly overrun, but the doors and gates are stuck, locking players inside (could be used to tease players about a map expansion that may come soon when a NPC survivor blasts the doors open, clearing the way) 2.) they could be manned by military personal, and become a bit of a death trap for those that get too close, as they will open fire if they see zombies... or possible infected survivors (could be used if players start finding a loophole in the wall, as the soldiers can keep players from getting close enough to exploit the hole and escape), as for why the soldiers are there, they could be waiting for orders to withdraw from the area and allow the area to be nuked, but the government doesn't appear to be giving the order anytime soon... if ever that is just my idea, you, however are welcome to say your opinion or even suggest a addition to it

If the server is bugged (1.7.2.5) and all the vehicles on it are resetting each restart, yes.

I am connecting to DayZ servers from mainland china, and most if not all EU servers are out of my reach, they normally automatically kick me for too high ping. Today I joined my 7 day regular server, in which I have a tent filled with goodies as well as some vehicles, it was just started up and the only player in the game was the admin, I joined and shortly after I got kicked without a reason stated. a couple minutes after I notice there is no admin on the server but a handful of regular players, I join in to notice a message on the chat log stating that another player got banned for too high ping, shortly followed by my own kick and ban for too high ping. This is a screenshot: I don't think admins are allowed to ban for too high ping, especially when I've been playing on this server for 7 days with the same ping and nothing happened, and I'd like to recover the contents in my tent, if possible

On 1.7.2.5 the vehicles seem to respawn at their default locations and saving one will cause it to get replaced by something else in the saved location while the original is respawned at the actual spawn point. V3S converted into a tractor for me, PBX into an ATV. The 'cloned' vehicles don't survive the next restart though, from what I saw. In essence, ignore vehicles until it's fixed.

You sir are an idiot, use the weapons all you want, you didn't hack them in, this game is pretty much unplayable due to hackers anyway, i have stopped playing because of them, the amount of ammo crates i have found is uncountable for starters, then you have the hacked in choppers and all the other vehicles. Watched a hacker kill me yesterday, shot him twice with an AS50 he then goes invisible, so i run to the chopper, he reappears at the same place he went invisible and says hey fucker over direct comms then the chopper blows up and he starts laughing over direct comms and then a guy spawns behind my mate who was also running to the chopper and shoots him. This is completely right, you found it, feel free to use it, don't let some gimp over the internet tell you what to do.

I saw your PM, but dont know if you saw my reply, I was not hacking vehicles, we found the ATV, was rolling around and got to a bridge, when got to the bridge the ATV flipped on the bridge, we tried ti right it back up by doing the reverse with wheel turned, it worked minutes earlier when i took a hill to fast, aparently doing it on a bridge might have been what crashed the server. I went to log back in and Battle eye kicked me for something related to a vehicle. It was because i was still ON the vehicle when the server crashed, tried it twice, and when i logged back in i was under the bridge swimming in the water, my friend ended up loosing his ammo because of it. Had to go to a diffrent server to log in again and get out without loosing everything. When i came back to your server the ATV was sitting next to a building, so we got back on and took it back to where we hid it. I was not hacking your server, the Risk of Banning is not worth a quick jaunt on a vehicle, if i want to play with the vehicles i can just load up the ARMA 2 Armory

I WOULDN't get attached to vehicles or leave anything in the trunk for that matter until they fix that stupid bug

Thanks. We surely didn't get the idea even though most of us knew this by now, not to mention them saying "Those are fucking hackers. Those vehicles aren't even in the game." Le sigh.

I've found that if server resets while I'm in a vehicle I generally spawn where I was and find it down the road somewhere the way I came. That said, vehicles and tents etc have been really buggy recently, so it's possible that it reverted to the last place it was saved (or more to the point, the hive registered it was saved). Good luck!

vehicles are NOT hoarded, the chopper could have been taken already. server is monitored by admins almost all day. The server seems to have a quick spawn, not more than one 1 minute. Not sure why it wolnt show up on six launcher

Not so fast people. :blush: There has been a server reset just now (I was waiting for it, didn't want to sit in the vehicle when the server reset) and the vehicle is now nowhere to be seen. A bicycle has instead been placed where the vehicle was. :D I don't want to save the bicycle in case it messes up something. This has been the first server reset after I had put the vehicle together, moved it away to a location and saved it. I saved the vehicle more than one time btw. I guess I will have to log back on after the next server reset and see if the vehicle returns. Does perhaps the vehicles respawn the same odd way that tent do?

i hopped on, and i think it is very good fast smooth and vehicles!. i recommend using automated restarts to keep it this smooth. every 8 hours is a good ratio to lag

Been on there for a few nights now. Have you guys hoarded up all the vehicles already? Or are they not spawning? No sign of the chopper either.

to fix the "Cannot start host on port 2302." i changed the "ipserv=127.0.0.1" To "ipserv= " scripts.txt(in the BattlEye folder) http://pastebin.com/mrNRfLnB createvehicle.txt(in the BattlEye folder) http://pastebin.com/7EinjHX8 remoteeexec.txt(in the BattlEye folder) http://pastebin.com/PrK2mP59 But now i have this problem, they get kicked after the mission loads. (I have vehicles enabled) Player #0 Brostix (8db294d5885ea237f9eeee95fce89b25) has been kicked by BattlEye: CreateVehicle Restriction #1 Player #1 Apocalyptiic (ed43c0f7bb5570be45cd53f16ac5568a) has been kicked by BattlEye: CreateVehicle Restriction #1
