http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/68541-no-vehicles-spawning-on-new-server/ report it in here we are banding together.

In order to clean up with this: We are aware that vehicles have not spawned on servers with instance IDs above, roughly, 8000 and it will require manual action to spawn them. We're working on fixing it.

The hud seems to be pretty buggy when it comes to vehicles. But if the engine was the problem, I'm sure it would've blown up, not stopped.

I've been loving the DayZ experience up until recently. Yes, this is another whinge about hackers. I'd gone weeks, without being killed by a cheat. Friday was the day it happened first. Got teleported and then killed instantly. I wasn't massively Pi**ed. Just thought "Oh, well" and went to the pub. But since then. I haven't been able to log back on without being hassled by cheats. It's constant insta-death, or random massive fires, or vehicles everywhere, Everyone in Ghille-Suits, players with god mode etc. I don't know how I managed so long without experiencing this side to the game, but now I can't get away from it. I don't get the cheating. There's no sense of skill or achievement by using apps to spawn all your gear, vehicles and equipment, and I really don't get the enjoyment in ruining the game for people who want to play properly. Hope the standalone version has some way of dealing with this.The best thing to happen to gaming in ages is being ruined by idiots.

I'd rather see the ability to create custom encampments (underground and buildings above, etc) and the ability to customize vehicles (upgrade your civilian offroad pickup truck white to one with a mounted m249 saw, etc) before adding in bullpup guns and all the work (reload anims, etc) that has to come with them.

Sorry for typos in previous post... I not a fan of the iPhone for posting on forums. Per your suggestion about a meeting place to confirm gear, it is unnecessary. If I can't trust players to honor the rules, such as no gear in vehicles, having everyone show up at one place for a gear check will not have any additional benefit. Plus, the event is about playing against other groups on the server. So it is best for each group to maintain its own starting point Makes sense?

But tents and vehicles dont save these dayz.

I still love it, it's a lot harder to keep players/clans active after a few months with a lack of end game content.. and with not being able to save vehicles/people not being able to connect at all, many seem to have taken a break. I'm still here though and intend on moving to the standalone when it's released.

US 2124 started about a week ago, brand new server and everything. I've installed everything correctly and everything works just fine. All except the vehicles. Tents, Buildings everything spawns perfectly fine except Vehicles. My group and I have scanned the map for our 4th time with nothing. crashed helis spawn, and everything but no vehicles. What could be causing this problem? Any ideas?

I have some information on a hacker on video...I will get it posted asap. He was invincible, teleporting, repairing vehicles, and other hacker hijinks...he actually played with us for a little while and we just went along with what he was doing for fear of our characters being killed. Didn't want to disconnect as we were very close to getting our first helicopter...video coming this week. Edit: This happened last night (8/13/12) between 7ish PM and 12:30 AM CST. Edit 2: He actually killed me once before "teaming" up with us. Edit 3: I fully take any responsibility for interacting with him and not disconnecting...I understand if I am banned from the server or whatever.

So your fine with a knife doing "authentic" damage compared to bullets or an axe? Lets examine this, a 9mm round does almost 900 damage, a FMJ round will break through bones and exit the body. A knife, even a "combat knife" not a "hunting knife" will do 4-6 inches of penetration via a direct stab and maybe an inch via a slashing attack. Individual attacks thus would be less damaging than a 9mm round, meaning you would have to hit a player character more than 15 times with the weapon and a Z more than 6. Do you think this would be a usefull weapon or that it would serve a purpose in game and thus be worth the development time taken to implement the weapon and annimations? Contrary to your point I eat ice cream while waiting for victims to snipe, and would like to use a box of puppies as a lure for victims.... I want an authentic simulation, not gamey content that has specific powers because it needs to be "balanced" I agree that the damage/health system is kind of screwed and thus being shot in an extremity with a .50 means you die instantly. In the game's environment being shot in an extremity with a .50 would likely mean the loss of the limb (becaues it would hit bone and expand) and would result in a slow death from blood loss/infection even if the character was treated and survived the initial damage. Thus I don't really care that it one shots you. Also in an "authentic" take on damage the .50 is the biggest/baddest round IG thus it does the most damage. Because it works as anti material the engine requires it to do enough damage (raw number) to represent this, that is why it is so far and above the other rounds in its raw damage. This could probably be changed in standalone if armored vehicles are not included, but I don't really care as I said it would kill you later anyway. A through and through on the torso would leave an exit wound the size of a baseball at least, if at a far enough range there would be enough velocity loss for the round to expand on a bone hit and then your talking basketball size exit wound at least. Pretty sure you would die from one shot. Here's what it does to deer http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2128411 Comparing a knife stab to a .50 hit is pretty retarded Nice troll attempt though

Sorry, I guess I need to do a better job explaining. The events will be on the weekend. During the week, you can continue to play the game. I however would like groups to commit to US 790 play only. This. It only promotes an active server, but also forms a level of accountability to help identify hacking during the week when the server is open to the public. Also, while you can find and use vehicles for travel, you would nned to agree to not use the vehiclles to store gear, as it is a source of duping that allows one set of gear to outfit an entire squad with server resets during the week.

Having no vehicles sucks.

Me and my pal fuelled up our chopper and decided to give it away + have some fun. The plan was circle around & land in cherno/electro and defend as long as possible. Problem? yes, no one was there. We flew around the whole map and the only people we saw were sitting on the rim (maintaining vehicles? or w/e ) or around the woods in NWAF. That was around 8pm on a server with ~25 players ingame. Not a single one of them around the coast or big cities. Also berezino, stary sobor... empty. We endet up circling the NWAF and landing in the middle! of it. I wasnt even shooting at people just watching their behavior. They were all after the chopper and started killing each other in wester woods of the NWAF. I saw a ghillie guy shooting a 3 man team through my scope. As 2 of the team tried to run out of the forrest I shot some bullets in front of their feet so they return to the forrest and they did. Got killed there by ghillie guy. Then I got shot by as50 :( So I couldnt watch how the fight ended or who got the chopper. Also only 6-7 ppl died during this fight. Pretty boring tbh since I expected everyone coming for the chopper ^^. Is this how ppl play the game now? Just camping the forrests around NWAF and hang around their camps? Only fresh spawns in cherno, electro? Probably it was a bad time or just the wrong server..... Oh and btw, I got picked up and drove back to the NWAF to loot my body and no one bothered to loot it? gps, 2x nvgs, l85.....

Im pretty sure its a bug with the new patch, items in vehicles and tents dont save, so when the server restarts they dissappear.

No vehicles on US 2123 is extremely frustrating, hope we can get this addressed asap.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/68541-no-vehicles-spawning-on-new-server/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/61806-no-vehicles-on-server/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/49042-us-1436-no-vehicles-server-disabled-or-hackers/ And there are even more topics about this... The reason is simple (yet nobody explained it); The HIVE sends permissions to the servers to spawn vehicles. This is a random event (may take 1 hour to 1 week), so it may take a while before a server even has a single vehicle spawned. And not to forget any problems/bugs which causes the server not to recieve permission for a spawn (eg downtime during the transmission). Also, the 1.7.2.5 patch is bugged in many ways related to vehicles and tents, and this is one of them.

I feel sry for you , but thanks to share your expirience. Our server Admin switched from Villayer (since they suck) to another hoster and we are awaiting vehicles too we are now on Day 6. Hope we wont be unlucky as you are/was. Pls update this when your cars have spawned. Which day are you actually at? Greets Paddy

Vehicles are not spawning on new servers, after more than a week. Fix it, or at least make a reply in one of the bug threads.

Bugs I have found in 1.7.2.5 : - Tents do not save after server restart. They are put back to how they were in 1.7.2.4 - Vehicles (locations and inventories) do not save after a server restart. Also put back to how they were in 1.7.2.4 - Graphical glitches even worse on military zombie corpses. Can fix by changing random graphics settings but they generally go again later on. - Strangely spawning on coast 1 in 10 times - Putting on a Ghillie Suit or Camo Suit with large Coyote pack swaps it out for an empty noob coyote pack All in all, the hotfix build is hotf*cked.

This game actually sucks ass without vehicles. Fix it! Just curious, but who's your host, and how would they know?

"1) Introduction of slumber:" For me my character sleeps when i log out, i get what you mean but i cant peice it together. Because you play the game in realtime and i dont know about you, but i can stay awake for a very long time, and i dont need to slumber to stay awake especially if im in a post apocalyptical world. it doesnt make sense to sleep a couple of minutes to recive some kind of energy when you are awake realtime. If this is to be realistic it wont fill any kind of function, because it will mean you have to stare at your black screen for 1 hour. "2) Zombies adjustments" I always play veteran and i dont know if they get harder to kill in veteran but due to the recent nerf on handguns zombies are harder to kill, sure if you are good geared and have m4a1 they arent as much as a threat but that seems to me logical that if you have a bigger gun the bigger hole it does in those infected people. And due to the recent update on infected i kinda like them the way they are atm. What i want is the forest filled with more dangerous wildlife or something. "3) Introducing Specialties" I dont really understand this system because it doesnt make sense. Please no specialities because this is just making games suck, as another person stated with specialites makes the game unrealistic. everyone should have the same possibilitys. Limiting the player characters to specialisations is would just reduce the immersion for me personally. "4) Crafting:" Here is something i really want, being able to make clothes maybe easy weapons and traps, but it shouldnt be limited in MMORPG way, that you need some kind of points. All you need to build something is the resources. "5) Radio:" Id like to see that they maybe add two or three radiostations that you can compose a message at and to listen to that message you need a walkitakie or something. This would be fun because it sets up for a lot of wierd senarios. maybe some friendlies wanna set up a camp and get the message out maybe some bandits set a trap and so on. "6) Map:" Not really much to say here, i like the being able to draw on the map and maybe those notes stays on the map so when you get killed and looted the player who looted you can see what you have written on the map, like if you have marked your camp or something. "7) Misc: - Close combat should be improved (possibly not overpowered)" This will be improved "- No unlimited sprint (what about a Specialization for stamina? The player with this specialization can run more)" No specialitys and yes keep the unlimited sprint. "- No currency, just bartering" No currency is needed i agree, because the items in the game already has it own value. "- visual and sound effect for thunderbolts in situation of heavy rain" Isnt there already? "- addition of actions like playing guitar around a fireplace or play cards with your mates during dead moments (I know this sounds weird or stupid, not all of you will be agree so let me know what do you think)" I´d love this like in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R game you would see a guy playing a song by the fireplace in the camp, just awesome. (but you gotta fint a guitarr ;)) But no card games atleast not for a very long time, i dont want developers to concentrate on minigames really :) "- improved phisics (further versions should fix this)" Indeed "- more player characters (same as above)" Yes "- Remove flying vehicles: in a post-apocalyptic world, a player would logically escape from the island as soon as possible. This doesn't have sense if someone wants to play this game" Sure thats true, but how far could you get on a tank? And helicopters is awesome, dont remove them. "- Possibility to block windows and doors using wiooden beams or other objects like a wardrobe, couch or armchair" this would be cool :) but maybe the result of this would end up in very much buildings being blocked by players who die inside? all those enterable buildings just wouldnt be enterable anymore. Maybe if the furniture had some durability it would be better. Sorry if this is a long post, but i really wanted to answer to everything, and i apologize for my english it isnt perfect. Edited my post so that my answer to his topic were in "bold" and his previously comments are in "italic"

Just love reading discussions like this. My idea about storage is that the last person who saves a tent/vehicle is the "owner" of it. If the "owner" dies his tents/vehicles, with everything in it, will despawn after a certain amount of time (maybe the moment when the body despawns). So anybody has an opportunity the become the new "owner" by saving the tent/vehicle just as you can loot a dead body. Groups can save the stuff their dead buddy, playing in a group gives you an advantage just as IRL. I don't like the idea of skillsets, especially gunskills if you're good at handling the controls then you're good at it. What possibly could work is the more times you do things the faster you do them. Things like blood transfusions and engine repairs should take far more time. Ofc any progress of repairing/transfusing or whatever will be saved when you interrupt an action and you won't get locked in an animation. Imagine your car breaks down in a zombie infested town and an repair would take 10 min.The ability the do those things real fast (lets say 30 sec) could be a real advantage then. (The numbers are arbitrary). Just thinking up loud.

Age: 19 steam name: heafamous how long have you played: +2 weeks Timezone: central U.S. equipment you currently have: mp5, m1911, coyote backpack, basic tool belt equipment, and basic medical supplies I've been playing for a little over two weeks and been from having a winchester to being fully geared with nearly any gun at my camp and several personal vehicles. Though i did this all in my previous clan, the clan itself was in chaos. Looking for a group with a bit of structure to it. Last group i was with had no order and was basically a free-for-all. That being said i also don't want a group of hard ass's. If you're still recruiting and have a your shit together then i can't wait to meet up with yall. Look forward to hearing from you.

That would look really good in somebody's horded collection of vehicles, I'm quite sure that the one person per server who ever actually got to see it would love it.
