The Vehicles will spawn after a restart,

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

although server instance ids are linked to the server, but anytime a server changes it's name, everything on the server is completely wiped out that includes all the sandbags, barb wire, tank traps, bear traps, vehicles and saved tents on the server are gone now. the only way to restore the items is when the server changes its name exactly the title it had before

Me and my buddies used to play on us 1570, we have a tent gear whatever anywho, the server was apparently changed to us 2325 From what arma 2 game stats http://arma2.swec.se/server/data/280718 says. Do our tent, gear that is not equipped on our persons and vehicles etc change over or will they be completely gone?

To expand on this: you don't have to do the whole bootcamp, pick the missions that are more likely to help in DayZ. Focus on learning the ins and outs of movement and inventory. Spend time in the shooting range. Do it more than once, till you feel comfortable handling the weapons. Even if you're experienced in FPS games, each game and each gun handles differently. Adjust your sensitivity and "Smoothing" to match your preference. Again, go with what feels good to you. Practice flying and driving in the bootcamp. Vehicles are fairly rare in DayZ. They're plentiful in the bootcamp. Throw some 'nades. Throwing in DayZ takes practice. A well-thrown can will distract zombies. Smoke grenades are excellent for buying time in high zombie count areas. A frag grenade can do a lot of damage. A well placed 'nade will do a number on a squad who is bunched too closely together. If you're in the edge of the tree line and someone takes a shot at you, pretend you're on fire. Stop, drop (prone), and roll. Randomly go left and right to make yourself a less predictable target. If you can roll to a conifer (pine) tree, you can roll under the low branches. You're less visible here. Get up and run in the oposite direction, but PLEASE zig and zag. Serpentine running left and right and don't stop moving. Don't do the same pattern. Vary your movement. Its a good idea to get use to doing this anyway, especially in open fields. You never know who is watching. If you're on a lower populated server, hit the "P" key now and then and see just how many people are on there with you. You may be the only one. You may have 10 new server mates. Its good to know how many people are out there. You'll have an idea of how likely you are to run into anybody. Don't let your guard down though. I've run into the other guy a few times when we were the only two left on the servers. Cooked Meat gives you more blood than beans. Beans are 200. Cooked meat gives you 800. If you can't get transfusions, keeping a couple steaks in your pack comes in handy. Also, keep your thirst in mind. Even if you have a water bottle (canteen), it might be a good idea to keep one soda with you. You might not get a chance to refill that bottle for a while. Hunger and thirst eventually make you lose blood, so you can't totally ignore them unless you don't plan on living long anyway. *edit: Forgot to mention: Not everybody knows that some guns in-game can share ammo. If you're not sure which ones, you can search the usual online sources.

hmm looks like tents and vehicles are gone.:[

PM me your Steam ID. Edit: Mission restart on our server, dammit, lost seven vehicles.

not sure if it would be the same on console, since tents, vehicles, etc are tied to the server, which means that DayZ needs dedicated servers instead of the way most console games work (the server only lasts until the one who started it stops playing on it). plus, DayZ is meant for 50 players per server, consoles can't handle that plus the keyboard makes it easy to have many controls, keybinds etc it will. Chernarus is probably going to be different from the mod version, but it will be there this. Skyrim's UI is stupid on the pc since it is developed for controllers, we don't need a repeat of that.i think rocket stated that it (standalone) wil go to PC first, and if it sells really well, they'll consider releasing it on consoles. but first, it needs about 2 million sales, i think

Vehicles spawned after 2 weeks on DE 1662 but still no chopper to be found.

FADE (or DEGRADE) is digital rights management software developed by Macrovision. It operates by detecting if a game has been pirated, and initially allows the player to use the game normally. It then gradually degrades certain game features over a time, eventually rendering it unplayable. FADE creates fake scratches in specific areas on the disk image. When the disk image is copied, the program used to copy it will notice these scratches and automatically fix them. The game's master program then looks for these scratches, and if they are present then it is an original. If they are not available, then it knows it is a fake. There is no notification or error message that tells the player that a fake disk image has been detected, which makes it very difficult for software crackers to determine if their crack has succeeded in defeating FADE. FADE will introduce many issues in the game, rendering it unplayable, giving the impression that the game is simply "buggy". For example, in the first person shooter Arma 2, FADE will begin by gradually decreasing the accuracy of the player's weapons, making it very difficult to hit a target. FADE might reverse the left/right controls of vehicles, or make them randomly start and stop moving. Eventually, it will turn the player in to a bird, and display the message "Don't fly away!".

Fun for us but we didn"t have any vehicles so you had the wrong camp.Lol.Thanks for the weapons and ammo.Need to relocate.Or we can just share.No but its been alot of fun.Ty for the quad.I dont even need a map to find it now.I think there should even be a path by now.Im not scared to die cause I know were to get more. p.s.your friendly neighborhood mikeflick.smooches

Fun fight at our camp (MikeFlick and others)- But to the admins who restarted the server after we found your vehicles-- Douchey move for sure. That is all. CW

I'm sure these are not trivial problems, but I think the main problem with the game as it stands is tents and vehicles not saving. The visual artifacts are annoying, but easily fixed by flushing vram, important but not urgent. Then work on moving to standalone and redo the systems that don't work right.

a warning for hacked gear would honestly just cause more problems than they fix, i mean this in the way that so many people have gear that they've found on other players, or on the ground like the as50 i found it would just clog servers up to the point of being unplayable, plus there is hacked in vehicles, maybe when this becomes it's own game they will have a better system for hacking but until then battle eye will have to do

Time: ~12:55PM PST (-8) Server: US 2157 Description: Three players drive into Cherno, one on a bicycle, two on an ATV. They stop moving, I hit one in the head, nothing happened. Figured he died standing up or something, switched targets and got another headshot on the driver of the ATV, nothing happened. They all got off their vehicles, and I shot the last guy, the passenger of the ATV, twice in the chest (here I started recording, forgot I had FRAPS open) and he then shot the other two guys and killed them. I shot the last guy 3 more times in the chest, then he took off on the ATV (at which point I stopped recording). About a minute later, someone said "Look behind you, asshole" so I DC'd after taking two bullets (there was only one way up to the building I was on and I was watching it, so someone either ghosted me or the cheater teleported behind me (guessing the latter)). The three players names were [LP]Zillakiller, Sublime, and Iration. Update as I'm writing this (~1:35PM): My friend was on her way back to try and get to her body in Cherno. Iration was kicked for something about a script restriction #2. My friend was then teleported into an explosion and died. Sublime and [LP]Zillakiller were both still on the server at the time.

vehicle spawns have been borked for some time. had a script kiddie tell me a lot of servers are not spawning vehicles and most of the ones you see were scripted in. since it has been ages since i have found one at a spawn, i tend to believe him

Title says it all. Duct-tape has dozens of uses. I'm sure we can all think of one as it applies to DayZ. 1. Temporary bandage. Reduces the rate of bleeding but falls off after a few minutes. 2. Make a splint for broken leg. Wood Pile + Duct Tape = A few minutes of slow walking with broken leg. 3. Temporary hull repairs to vehicles without a toolbox. 4. Tape two magazines to each each-other facing opposite directions for quick reloading. 5. Tie a gate closed. To enter you need to choose a "Remove Duct-Tape" option, which takes time. 6. Gag another player. Stops them from using direct chat. 7. Bind another player. Stops them from walking/running. Need to struggle free to escape. 8. Tie someone to a tree. 9. Improvised tripwire. 10. Make a sling around a tire to carry it on your back (with speed penalty). 11. Twist around itself for improvised rope. And so on. Post your duct tape uses here. Update: 15 and 16. 17.

So ... I'm actually the admin of US 1550, and today I get a nasty email to my admin email address. I redacted the full email and name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Alex****at*****dotcom Title: Gravel we need to talk. Now. Body of email: Unexpected server restarts are completly unacceptable mate. We just lost a chopper and two vehicles loaded with items/weapons... Either you need to get a plugin that tells when restarts are happening or if that was a manual restart then I may report ya. Sorry if it was manual I can't help but report it, I hate abusive admins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now when I read this I was at a total loss. I've been dealing with hacker/scripters off and on all day. I mean I'm pretty damned proactive. I continually post both my email address and TeamSpeak details in game and ask that people contact me for help when issues arrive. I manually go through logs and see who is hacking/scripting and do everything else an admin can do. And it's very rare that I ever restart a server without announcing that it's coming. So I started thinking about it and I did restart one of my servers without a warning today, purely by accident. But "abusive admin"??? WTF?? Are you kidding me? I even run around in my servers loaded with good gear and take pot shots at my players to encourage them to try and kill me. I'm never mad or abusive about being killed, and I never restart the server when fair-play happens. I mean, really? Comeon. Abusive? So I replied: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex******at*****dotcom First. It's pixels so relax. Second. I have not violated a single server rule/restriction. Third. Report away mate. When I'm fixing hacker/scripter damage I can restart whenever I wish. There's no rule that says I must give a warning, although 99.9% of the time I do. And, I never abuse the restart to benefit myself or friends. The only unwarned about restart today was accidental, while I was in the server via Remote Desktop, I was trying to "grab the window to move it and instead it clicked it closed, forcing the game server to restart. Remote Desktop is a little slow on the take with the mouse and sometimes it's glitchy. At the time I was actually looking at the server and logs to benefit YOU, not me, because of hacker/scripters. Sorry man, but that's not abusive ... regardless of what you think. If you think I'm an abusive admin because you got one unannounced restart and lost some pixels ... then find a new server, and report me. As far as telling me what I need to do (Re; getting a plugin, etc.) you DO NOT pay for my servers. You DO NOT get to tell me what to do with my servers, that I pay for. You DO play for free on my high-speed dedicated server, that I pay for out of my pocket. Again, I follow the DayZMod rules. If you don't like it ... there's a disconnect button. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/46-server-reporting/ you can report it there if you want. I'll post our emails. Otherwise quit complaining about losing some pixels in a computer game that's only in Alpha testing. Lastly, to be quite honest, I find it absurd that you emailed me to complain about this when I've never had a single prior email from you to report scripters/hackers. Not once, ever. Instead of complaining and being upset about one unscheduled restart you could have been proactive and reported problems. I reguarly put this email address and my TeamSpeak details into the game just for that. Haven't seen you use either yet ... except to complain about "your" helicopter and gear. ~Gravel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now I did look back in my emails and found one previous email from him, so I was wrong, and I did follow up with an email to him correcting that. But his previous email was one F'n line. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Hackers. Body of email: Yesterday at around 12am-3am. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No details of any kind. I run multiple servers and he can't even give me a server number. And I went through the logs from that time and really didn't see anything that actually warranted a ban on any of my servers. A couple people with hacked guns, but zero proof that those people actually hacked them. And I was hopping back and forth on my servers playing during that time frame and didn't notice anything unusual either. So .. whatever. Anyway, I guess I'm an abusive admin, so I'm reporting myself for an unscheduled and accidental, unannounced server restart that caused some guy to lose some pixels on the intertoobz. DrainBamaged aka Gravel (P.S. Sorry for the multiple posts of the same thing. This forum always double, triple, or quad posts when I click once.)

So his vehicles get taken by a group of 7 people who apparently play there alot according to their posts, and he decides since he THINKS they're hacking(With 0 proof and only suspicion) He can permaban them? He needs solid evidence. At any rate this is a case for admin abuse as it's pretty cut and clear with his admission of banning because of stolen vehicles regardless of his drivel filler about supposed hacks, and he has no evidence of hacking. If he knew anything about what the hacks can do he wouldn't suspect people who just find and try to take vehicles, they would just nuke them.

Sounds like admin is mad his vehicles got stolen by players on his server, take it to admin abuse and it will be resolved quickly. He already admitted to banning you because in short terms "You took his vechiles" so "LOL HACKERS" Hope his server gets hive disabled if he can't be civil and just has to cry wolf everytime it goes sour for him. Also from my experience hackers just blow up vehicles because they can spawn them and spawn any items they want, there is never a reason to legitimately steal them or stay on a server.

Well this is why I was global banned after someone on the forums said i was a hacker ive never hacked in this game and never will battleye has just given me a global ban after i stole a chopper from a DayZ server the other day And the admin hates me for taking his vehicles from his "Admin camp" anyways yeah Battleye is just pathetic hacking too either way this battleye or that someone is in my steam account seeing ive been having logging in problems the past few days Anyways yeah thats why I have to go buy a new code to play this mod and the game its self anyways im posting this here seeing battleye still hasent responded to my Email's about being banned... so yes and it says i was script editing ? what is a script? Please give me an awnser?.

Currently traveling the north as a drifter. Every few spawns, I end up on the coast, so I just travel north. So far, on my one char. I have two weeks, 300 zed kills, two murders, and have found 7 vehicles. I have not encountered a single player in the north as of yet, my murders were from elektro.

You fail to realize, 7+ legitimate players over the span of 4 days marked locations of said vehicles. Many grids can be covered in that timeframe and player coordination over teamspeak.

Sorry bout that. It could have despawned, not have saved etc. I suggest not using vehicles much honestly.

I never thought you said I put it there. I only know because I just checked the Ural right before you all took it and it DID NOT have that weapon in it. I could really care less that you guys took our vehicles as I know it's part of the game. I do have a problem when any one person or group of people coming in the server and magically knowing where all the camps and vehicles are. You guys took a vehicle from the far north east and the far west area of the map in the matter of less then an hour. Plus another one of your vehicles that we still have not been able to find. No one ghosted you we had 4 of us total on that hill. If the Dayz Devs want to blacklist the server that is there decission. I will not allow a server that I pay for be a place for hackers to come and ruin a great game for players that just want to play fair. I really don't understand why you have to come to the forums and complain for being banned. There are alot of other servers to play on. I have been playing games online for over 15 years and I have been admin on many other servers and games. In my experience is usally the hackers that get mad when they get banned and run to the forums to cry about it. You will NOT be unbanned!!!
