I've had just about every vehicle in the game so far and my bases get destroyed, a lot. You have to spread out your bases so that they aren't noticable as much and don't become a target. My team once had 7 vehicles at once in one place including a V3S, Ural, and a Chopper, and that did not last long at all because it becomes a giant bullseye to anyone that finds it. EDIT: I personally like to just have my trusty bicycle and various tents stashed around the map.

I'm sorry if this isn't in the right area, but I'm really confused as to what happened or where I should appeal/report this. I was on US 405 hosted by SecOndSight2S.com. I found a tent city (maybe the admin's tent city?) and there were 4 satchel charges in the tents. As soon as I tried to use one, the server automatically kicked me, citing something about spawning vehicles (I didn't bother writing down the message). "Fine," I thought, "I guess the admins own this camp and disabled the use of satchel charges to protect it." So I rejoined from the kick and played on the server for an hour more or so. Several hours later I try to rejoin and it says, "You were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Banned (Spawning Weapons))" Does this mean BattlEye has banned me for using a satchel charge? If so, why am I seemingly only banned on this server? If I had known satchel charges were illegal to place I would have never tried but they are listed at DayZDB and DayZ Wiki so I figured they were legit. Does anyone know what I should do about this? I'm worried I'm soon to be banned from all servers and the only thing I did was try to place a satchel charge. Thank you for all the helpful responses, as always.

Some hacker kept turning the server night so i restarted it, afaik all vehicles and tents are where they should be.

Hello , i really love this game , my previous week been a nightmare. i joined a clan , our base got raided like 5times in five days. everytime i would set a camp in someplace , the hackers would log and locate + destroy my camp no matter what happens (pim clan , cheaters.) then i started to thought maybe my clan was exciting the hackers , so i decided to quit and play on my own. went on a server, changed nickname , fixed pick up + ural , then hide it. 4hours after saving it , when i relogged it was destroyed and all my camp destroyed. it looks likes it happens to me all days now , no matter what. is it actually possible to have a vehicle more than one day , or all servers have at least 1 hacker a day that will ruin all vehicles ? if you guys know few europeans or americans servers hackers free please PM me as all my vehicles are getting hijacked by hackers no matter what kind of server i play. in a week i lost 2 chopper / 3 bikes . 3 ural . . 2 pick up . 5 days of clan nightmare , after i decided to quit , to play on my own i got killed by a guy teleporting in my back 3 times after those 3 death i decided hey i might try to build vehicles again maybe hackers will stop ? so i change server , repair pickup + ural and the same happened. do i have some sort of grieffers locating me what ever server i play ? i this possible ? please help me and send me calm servers in private messages i am actually very tempted to start to cheat as i litteraly played a full week full time for Nothing.... even if i am hardcore gamer i have a life and i can't take 6hours of my life everyday to repair a ural that will get located few hours after even in the best hidden spots.

The closest game I can think of to ArmA or DayZ would be the earlier Socoms, none of which are found on the PS3. Even then, the vast majority of Socom fans hated Socom 3 because of the big maps and vehicles. I guess they'll hate DayZ even more. Socom had a lot of what this game offers in terms of combat and freedom while avoiding the arcade nature of other shooters. (unless you played the same small deathmatch maps again and again) Most of the tactical game play was found in the singleplayer campaign though but S3 did offer more freedom for that in multiplayer. But yeah, Socom titles were not blockbusters.. A lot of other hardcore features like bullet drop can be found in other console games but usually not all found in the same place. There are plenty of hardcore gamers floating around the console landscape but there are not really any solid games for them to coalesce around. The console market is pretty terrible at the moment and there is much too much focus on DLC and the publishers seem more interested in milking the fans of every penny until a franchise dries up. That branch of the gaming industry (maybe all?) is much more interested in getting people to buy the next over hyped piece of garbage than building solid titles. Console gamers want games like DayZ. I've heard it again and again and I honestly hope Rockstar has taken notice of DayZ's success. They're probably the only current console focused developer that could pull this off without fucking it up too much. They were halfway there with GTA4's multiplayer and even a less hardcore persistent sandbox game would be a wild success on consoles. I think DayZ could be quite successful on consoles but not on this current generation of hardware.

my groups tents and vehicles have not spawned in has anyone else got this problem?

So the other night we upgraded our server to 1.7.2.5. We find the blue van, fix it up and take it to camp. The next day we start our sever and the blue van is gone, but now we have a motorcycle we did not have before. Then I find a UAZ, fix it up and take it back to camp. The next day when we start the sever the UAZ is gone but now we have a bus in our camp. WTF? Later while playing we find the blue van back where we originally found it in need of repairs as if we never touched it. Anyone else have issues like this on thier sever?

i was thinking that we should be able to create our own custom map with everything spawnable including, -doors with turn cranks -bared windows -seatable chairs -turrets -searchlights -road maker -vehicles -fences -walls -destroyed cars -weapons crates -customizable weapons -more melee weapons -placeable trees -openable gates -zombie spawns -animal spawns -player spawns -spawnable vehicle parts for repair or build with spawnable disabled vehicles -NO MORE ZOMBIES OPENING DOORS AND PHASING THROUGH STUFF!!!!! -these vehicles added HMMWV [uS], HMMWV Utility [uS], HMMWV (Ambulance) [uS], HMMWV Terminal [uS], HMMWV SOV [uS], HMMWV GPK (M2) [uS], HMMWV CROWS (M2) [uS], Military Offroad (M2) [Takistan Army], MTVR (Ammo) [uS], MTVR (Repair) [uS], Supply Truck [uS] , MTVR (Fuel) [uS], Stryker ICV (M2) [uS], Military Offroad (M2) [Takistan Militia] Offroad (DShKM) [Takistan Local], Pickup (PK) [Takistan Locals], UH-60M [uS], UH-60M MEV [uS], MH-6J [uS], An-2 [Takistan Army], Merlin HC3 [bAF], AH-6X [uS], M270 MLRS [uS], M113 Ambulance [Takistan Army], Stryker MEV [uS], AH-64D [uS], Ka-60 (M32) [PMC], UAZ (DShKM) [Takistan Army] this is alot but its an editor mode so you must have alot of options and tools i will email this to the creators so they can get started on these additions plz be positive i mite delete this part later

I can't be 100% certain as I'm not flawless with scripts myself, but those all look like blacklisted scripts to me that are ban worthy. Wait until someone else chimes in, but as far as createvehicle goes, yes... they were spawning in vehicles. Addweaponcargo looks to me like they gave themselves weapons, at least the case with that M4A1 CCO SD which is a hacker favorite as far as legit weapons go. If he's spawning in the vehicle, then I'd be flabbergasted if they weren't spawning in those weapons for themselves. Ban them on the vehicle script. That's enough on it's own. The torquem guy looks suspcious. Removes all weapons and then adds an AS50 and nato ammunition. I'd throw a temp ban on that guy until someone official can chime in and say whether or not that was the right call, and then remove it if necessary and if it is indeed bullshit, change the temp ban into permanent. That's just what I'd do. Don't take my word on it alone.

is something wrong currently? trying to get back in but the sever keeps disconnecting .. let me know cheers EDIT: server came back i saw you installed new arma 2 version.. ty for your response the server looks great so far even saving things in vehicles!

Vehicles should now spawn on all servers up to Instance ID 12.000. They will spawn at the start of the server, so if your server is running, they will appear after the next scheduled restart.

Instance ID's up to 10,000 now spawn vehicles.

I have no issue with you demystifying the loot system. However I'm curious as to your statement about throwing server hoppers into debug forest. I don't see any way to do that without using some sort of hack. I might be missing something (on top of brain cells I mean) so please explain? I don't think that breaking down the loot system can be considered the same as server hopping , but I understand what you're saying. At the very least it is just an explanation of how the loot system works and as such could be considered an exploit. However you can't say it's the same as server hopping since that's a very obvious no no. If this is an exploit then so is using DayZDb maps and how many players use that? A great number I suspect. I've even used it myself but no longer do as I prefer immersion over utility. It might be putting myself at a disadvantage but tbh it's no fun knowing exactly where everything is, or possibly is (in the case of vehicles). My point is, if you don't want to know this sort of thing then don't read it. I only read enough to know what the OP was getting at, but I already had an idea about this anyway due to playing for so long now.

I am all for a complete wipe as starting over sounds better than just sitting around with all my high end gear since I haven't gotten to the point of killing fresh spawns just for the lolz. Quick question, so is it impossible for tents and vehicles to be saved automatically whenever they are altered? I have asked this question before and never received a response and it seems that to fix at least some duping all you need to do is have the tents and vehicles save automatically whenever an item is taken or placed within the tent or vehicle.

they are cheaters. i raid and then blow up their base and then almost immediately the server restarts >:( i just spent hours taking a lot of your vehicles and guns single handedly only for you to restart the server. im almost certain doing such things is against the server hosting rules

You want to be idiots and use hacked in vehicles/weapons, then do not come crying here for a ban appeal.

what r u talking about man, i no they dont thats what we are saying normally u have to wait a few server resets, what ur talking about has already been posted pointyend, about vehicles going back to where they were when last saved in .4

yeah everything is back... however do your tents/vehicles save the gear stored there? ours don't... lost some quality loot over the last few days^^ ingame nick is: pho (i'm your average friendly neighborhood scavenger tho', no filthy bandit... so pls don't hunt me down) :D

Who has the items doesn't effect if they are truly rare or not, any system that gives a set percentage chance of item spawn will never be able to represent scarcity because nothing is truly scarce, there are no finite amounts in such a system. A player can farm a spawn until he obtains any given item, I know this because we routinely farm NW or Stary and load tons of high end gear into our blue truck before parking it behind a bush at the edge of the map. Labelling my proposal as "artificial" is complete bs, items with a hard cap are truly rare, if they are horded by one group it only means that that group was proved to be better at aquiring a scarce resource than you and the other million people playing DayZ. If they don't want to use said items but instead want to horde them for their own future use or hold them to prevent the oposition to having them thats their perogative, they are the ones that planned and executed a scheme to obtain them. Go shoot them and take their shit if you don't like it. You call it abuse, I call it surviving in a world with finite resources, nothing is infinite if you want something you have to go find/take it from someone else. This is what survival is. Why are you so short sighted that you think this must be implemented on the mod in its current state, the end goal is standalone and that is where a mechanic like this would truly shine, because most of the things your bitching about wouldn't be present. Would people still hoarde gear and do everything they can in their power to aquire as many of the best items as possible, yes, thats what surviving is. Would it suck to be a newb or fresh spawn, hell yea, it would suck to be alone with nothing in a survival scenario. You don't point out actually downsides like inactive players with loot, you only look at how people will be able to shit on your experiance. Thats what survival is, you shit on the people that are not part of your group because they are your competition. All of your posts/threads are like this, nerf bandits, nerf snipers, nerf storage, nerf vehicles, qq, qq. You don't want anyone to be able to put in time and work to have an advantage. I don't get what your bitching about a new spawn can go find a whiny or enfield and they are instantly as deadly as a player that is month old, its already all up to that players skills. 1. has no effect on everyone running around with high tier gear... 2. has no effect on everyone running around with high tier gear, do you really think people that are pissed won't just respawn asap and then bandits never get a chance to loot the body. 3. The system can't be manipulated by players? They can only farm loot and get all the best shit, they just shouldn't be able to carry as much of it.... Player growth occurs when they knock the guy off the rung above them and climb over his dead body. Your system doesn't stop the growth of new equipment they can farm away all the gear they want. Again with the I hate people that organize/think their way to success. What are the boundries that exhist in DayZ, I thought a large part of the games appeal is that it doesn't have boundries or tell you how to play, you do what you want how you want. There is a difference between meta gaming and min/max, to me you describe the min/max mentallity that is prevelant with all gamers more than meta gaming. There is no way to stop min/max its a logical self intrested behaviour, the only way to avoid it is to create systems that don't allow players to min/max, ie log out timers, unique linked servers, or set difficulty and view settings. Storage is a feature that is required in standalone as it is how players will be able to transition from surviving to thriving.

I'd say that my best moment as a bandit happened when I came across a clan getting all of their shit together for a photo (shit including a Ural, a Huey, and all 13 members of their group) Their heli was hovering about 20 meters off of the ground. I pull out my AS50, ready for fun. I shoot the pilot in the face, forcing the helicopter out of the sky. It lands on a UAZ, making both vehicles exlode, which cause the other vehicles around them to explode with help from more of my BMG rounds. My buddy starts killing the players with his MK 48. In less than 8 seconds, all 13 were dead, their vehicles were destroyed, and two bandits became very aroused.

The Heli on our server is also respawning and at the same spot. It respawns in the same location, but always seems to need different items to get it going. All other vehicles are fine, but we are also noticing sandbags and barb wire are disappearing too.

So, just wondering. I see a lot of people complaining about missing items on their tents, missing vehicles, etc. But i also see a lot of camps when i'm searching for them with lots of gear inside. I just want to ask if there's any way to SAFELY set a camp, like the proper time of the day before/after the restart to save the tent, or any other "technique" that will provide me a safe way to put my stuff inside my tent. Last time i did it, after the restart everything was gone.

I dont quite see how having a bus, a van, a motorbike and a Heli is hoarding, but ok. Regardless, that isnt what is being discussed here, the vehicles being rolled back IS. So please, if you have nothing USEFUL to contribute, dont.

I'm so glad this is happening to you. So stupid for people to get all the vehicles and just horde them miles away. They don't even use them half the time what is the point? Let everyone have a fair chance at getting vehicles. I'm playing the game 2 weeks and have yet to find one.

running the same version on the server, our vehicles do not do that though...just the heli and it seems to go back to the same spot...
