admin of uk135 banned me for spawning vehicle. frankly i have no idea how to do that and even if i did i wouldn't. suggest server admin checks logs and see that i am fair and non cheater player. contact me for GUID admin. Thanks Tom

One of the biggest problems is the lack of occupation for end game. If a group, clan or individual had to assemble a .50 cal in the back of a pickup that would occupy some time. Also, it would make the vehicle less vulnerable so caution would need to be used in pvp. Most sniper rifles should go bye-bye. Military snipers are rare, so the spawn should be more rare. They should be replaced by civilian hunting rifles. More muzzle flash for these weapons as well, they don't have flash suppressors. That will make snipers more vulnerable to groups. Military (non-armord) vehicles with mounts for machine guns would be cool. Something valuable but not invulnerable to protect. I personally think assualt weapons should be the primary weapons found in military spawns, with only a few select places spawning sniper rifles. I vote for much more vehicles and less gas. It makes more sense and leads to less admin/hacker abuse. There will still be repairs, vehicle destruction and pvp at gas tanks. Think of the dynamic, would you bring your firepower/valuable vehicle to a risky place to gas up? Or just run in, fill up and run away? If you know a group has a humv with a turret and you see them gassing up on foot, you can follow them and ether destroy or try and take their vehicle. Helecopter battles, enough said.

So I realize that when driving around towns that items and zombies don't spawn. But what about Animals? I have seen rabbits in the Airfield, but I have yet to find a cow/sheep/boar. I don't know if it is because I am not looking, just wondering if I should ditch my car for a bit to go hunting, or if I can drive around until I find something. Another question is about when I reach below 3k health and start collapsing, I have reached the point of collapsing while running, I have collapsed on a ladder before which insta-killed me, and I have collapsed in my car, fortunately I was stopped looking at the map, it made me fall out of the door, so my question is if I am driving 40-60 kmph if I will die if I collapsed in the car since it would throw me out. I have 2879 BP.

Sunday (19/08) my server start to list in game. I rent with Altitude Host. Everything was set up appropriately, but my server dont have any vehicles. I sent a ticket for them and they say that the DEV need to respaw my vehicles. Its not something that they can do. So what do I have to do to fix that? Why its take so long to have something that I paid for? With who should I talk about it? I searched threads that talk about this issue but have not found any. Can you guys help me? They give my the IntanceID server. Do I have to post it here?

Just wanting to see what people like and dislike. Don't even try and correct me on what I have put in there.

Does server resetting cause vehicles to respawn? Restarting server timer causes respawns too? Yesterday I was playing with a friend over skype and at the end of our journey we found a bicycle, and have hid it inside one of those short bushy trees, saved the vehicle, and logged out. Today I rejoin that same server, the bicycle was gone. But because our hiding place for it was very close to where we found it, i walked right over to its original spawning point and its there again. Now I doubt some guy found our bike and just rode it back over there and left it. If server resets causes vehicle to respawn, wouldn't that make repaired vehicles kind of pointless? You could spend hours repairing a car, drive it somewhere, and the next day it wouldn't be where you left it. I mean I only have 1 other partner in DayZ that I play with, so for us to actually fix up a vehicle takes multiple runs back and forth between factories and the car, if spending all the effort to fix one up only means that it will be gone the next day because the server we played on reset while we were logged off, then isn't it all for nothing? I know many of the servers reset a lot too. We've actually tried fixing a vehicle ones, we found the blue van at a gas station and managed to fix 3 of its glass panels, 1 wheel, the fuel tank, and the hull. We then stopped for the day because we had already visited all the nearby factories but was still short on 3 wheels, we figured we'd log off for the day and come back tomorrow so that those factories will respawn some new items. When we logged off that night it was already about 1AM irl. We log back on the next day at around 2pm, we spawned in the factory, picked up whatever car parts we found there, and went our way back to the gas station where the car was at, only to find it no longer being there. It could be possible that someone else came by and completed the remaining 3 wheels and engine, but it was a US server which didn't have a lot of people playing in it (usually 5 or less), I doubt a lot of people played in it during mid night, so I assume the server actually reset or something over night and the van we half fixed just respawned else where.

In DayZ Vehicles they deseaper in reset or automatic? Or can i trust my itens on him?

I've recently had some decent luck finding vehicles at random camps around the map. First was a bus that I stole and drove around for a bit (PITA to maneuver), then I parked and saved it at my camp. A couple days later, it was gone but none of my tents had been looted. Then, Sunday, I found a off-road truck at a known admin camp. Took it out for a spin and then parked and saved it at the same location of my camp that is on a different server. Few hours later, it was gone. Later Sunday night, I found a camp with 7 tents and 2 tractors all fully loaded. I gathered all the stuff I wanted into one of the tractors and drove half way across the map to my camp and once again parked and saved the tractor. I hit the save at least 10 times. I also pulled some of the gear out of the tractor and put it in my 4 tents along with a lot of other high end loot. Tonight, I log in to find the tractor missing but once again nothing missing from any of the tents. What is going on here? Does the server reset steal the vehicles back even though I saved them? Do admins somehow know the location of all the vehicles on the map? Or are people just finding the vehicles and paying no attention to the tents?

If you find a vehicle and save it, I know you have it on the server you played on but if you logon to another server and log back on the server you found it on, is it still there or do you need to play on that server only to be able to keep the vehicle?

All my vehicles, and camp sites across 5 different servers have been completely wiped off the face of the map after the Hive crashed earlier this morning...What is going on guys...fix your shit. How many times are we going to get fucked by bugs, programming deficiencies, hackers, and slow problem response times? waved off with a *shrug* "shit happens". I love this mod, but it seems to hate me so. It's an abusive relationship, and for now I'm too much in denial to follow good advice and leave it. Sitting here...telling all my friends "It's getting better...it doesn't happen as much any more." Whilst covering the bruises left on my psyche. I'll leave you Day Z...if you don't start treating me right! No...I was just kidding don't ......*Hive Crashes* WHY DO YOU ABUSE ME SO!

well me and massey had just finished a dogfight with someone in another helicopter when we found a vehicle stash

I was looking at the ArmA 2 wiki, and after I saw all the vehicles in ArmA 2, but I was wondering why they weren't in Dayz. I think it would be a lot of fun if there were a lot more vehicles, like heavy duty cargo helicopter that can carry TONS of cargo, or a car underneath it. Or maybe amphibious vehicles. And maybe attack helicopters, I would like to see dogfights in Dayz. I also don't want to see Chernarus disappear from Dayz completely. I think the Russian countryside is a perfect setting for a post apocalyptic adventure. The people who want small fields can get them, the people who want giant skyscrapers to snipe from can get them (with a little variant in the map design), and the people who want lots of military weapons and military vehicles can get them from the airfields.

you know what's fun? playing for a whole weekend only to get all your shit disappeared due the fucked up bugs with the vehicles and tents. I understand the standalone is coming out in 7 years, and that fixing the artifacting and broken vehicles are oh-so-tiresome, but SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO PLAY THIS GAME. I like dayz. i don't like the way it is managed. even notch wasn't this lame. we all still play minecraft, but i've gone through 3 groups of friends who have quit this game due to its unprofessional management. (inb4 alpha hurrrrrrrrrr) an alpha is supposed to be broken, but also IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FIXED. when we go months without fixes for things, the fanbase feels betrayed and resentful. so: 1. fix tents and vehicles asap so i don't waste my fucking time 2. fix the artifacting that makes stary, berezino, balota, nwaf, etc UNAPPROACHABLE due to mindfuck. get with it. it's 2012 and fucking game devs cant get their shit together on a potentially awesome game? at this point, if the current record is any touchstone for the future of dayz, i'm not expecting much from the standalone.

hello, i know that vehicles and tents are insanely bugged in 1.7.2.5. nothing is really saving and everything is being spawned back at its spawn location. does this shit also happen on 1.7.2.4? please someone confirm :).

Our server had a hacker attack last night who ported all the vehicles to an Island where they were destroyed. We did a reset to try and respawn the vehicles back to more normal positions but they are not spawning anywhere. Does this mean we are on the 7 day timer as the vehicles have been read by the hive as destroyed? If so is there any way to reset the timer? It seems rediculous that the gaming community has to go without for a week on the basis of a hack and that admins have no way to overcome it.

Here's the deal: A friend and me finally found a tent to save our gear in, nothing special, just some things to get a headstart, when you die. We figured it would be absolutely necessary to have a hidden storage space instead of running around with our backpacks filled. For me, this is the most important feature this great game offers. Unfortunately, this is also the biggest disappointment. Read on here: http://dayzmod.com/f...ies-not-saving/ Since this problem still exists and it now also seems that 1.7.2.4 rollbacks won't help, I decided to stop playing until this issue is fixed. Don't get me wrong: I don't want pressure things up, because I can imagine how much work this must be. But this problem is an absolut dealbreaker for me. I know, there are approx. 1000000 bugs, but this need immediate attention, since it's absolutely necessary for the game experience. Edit: Changed title from "Stopped playing, waiting for tents/vehicles to be fixed, who's in" to "Broken tents/vehicles alter my game experince totally, how about yours?" since the first one was obviously not constructive. Sorry about that though, don't want to be missinterpreted here. Be aware that some posts now point in a different direction.

Please fix these two... The first kills the only target in the game (camp making), the second makes the game unplayable at military areas.

Dear Devs! I'm the admin of the DE77 Server (without space). We got a problem with the Vehicles on our server, espacially the helicopter. We (DT Clan ... 10 People) are searching for a helicopter on the server for nearly a month without any success. We checked nearly every square on the map, 10 people, every day and we think that there never was a helicopter. We even never heard any chopper on the server and we are playing on it since the beginning. In generally vehicles are very rare on the server. We only found 2 busses 1 V3S and a tractor (in 2 months intensive playing). Could u please check our server for the copper spawn or reset the vehicles on it? THX nice greetings [DT] Haradus

Read OP. As of right now, servers assigned an instance id that is 6001+ do not have vehicles spawning. I was told by vilayer that they were having a meeting to figure out when they were being implemented. It's kind of a big let down to have a server with no vehicles, and most players who join searching for vehicles aren't that happy when they find out there's none to be had. Any ideas?

After the recent hive issues that people have been reporting which I was also experiencing; I was finally able to access both my servers just a few minutes ago. But the Huey I had parked near the area I was looting is now gone. Anyone else have the same problem?

Anyone managing to get any good tents or vehicles to save gear? Getting real tired of finding gear only to have no where to put it....

enough said, make more cars that have no wheels, broken engine, broken fuel tank, and bad hull, be more plentiful so it requires teamwork to get all the parts together and fix it before someone else does, i don't think there are enough around right now

If a server has only 1 of a certain vehicle does that mean that once someone has found it, repaired it and taken it away from the spawn point to their base that another will or will not randomly spawn on a spawn point for that vehicle? 1 broken down awaiting repair per server or just 1 per server period?
