Yeah i have buildings on my server that i never saw before, so i think some hacker spawned them in. there were so many hackers on my server cause of a live streamer, and now there are more vehicle ingame as there should be, there is an C130J somewhere on my map. And last but least, i need a new map due the duping tents and vehicles. Im at Vilayer 2 and i will go to their TS today to solve that problem.

any of you get vehicles yet?

I suck with most of the marksman rifles in game, but considering the realism aspect of this game, it poorly reflects the usefulness of extremely large bore rifles. In the real world, rifles like the AS50 are a pain in the ass to carry around, and are drastic overkill in any anti personel situation. The ammo is heavy and takes up a lot of space, and taking an accurate shot from any position but prone is A) wildly inaccurate at any signifigant range B ) painful. These rifles were designed to stop vehicles and heavily armored targets. Maybe if they tweaked the weapon's in game characteristics, it would reflect effectiveness more accurate to the real world, and you wouldn't see nearly as many people lugging anti-tank rifles to the top of the Cherno factories. .338 Lapua Magnum is about as big as the United States goes when it comes to killing humans, as anything bigger is usually huge and restrictive. In Arma, you are just as mobile with an AS50 as you are with an MP5.

So I just died. No biggie, if it weren't for the problem that it seemed extremely suspicious. I was playing on Denmark 2, I was very far up north east hunting tents. I tabbed out to have a look at the map. I had sat down next to a pine tree for some cover. When I log back in and start running again, a guy unloads at me from behind with a silenced weapon. High rate of fire, I can only assume it was a bizon. Literally right from behind me where I was sitting, the exact same spot. Pity I didn't just altF4 out because he was a poor shot and didn't kill me right away. I turned around to shoot back at him, I had an M14 so I should be able to do some serious damage, but I couldn't see him. Either he was a wearing a ghillie and sitting entirely inside the pine tree, or he simply wasn't visible. Ofcourse, I died. Did a hacker just teleport up behind me? Or did I have a case of extremely bad luck of someone logging in to my exact location, behind the same tree almost outside the map? Or did this guy have a tent nearby that he came down from? The latter seems very unlikely, because I had clear vision for atleast 150-200 meters all around, and I pride myself in being an ace at spotting tents and vehicles.

Using Alt-F4 to defend the 50 cals is a completely flawed argument. Quitting out in combat is not legit, this WILL be fixed. The realism argument is a bit of an odd one in a zombie apocalypse , but I agree in principal, this weaponry just doesn't fit in with the zombie apocalypse theme to my mind. I'd rather see things feeling more like "The Road" than "Rambo". Finding a m16 in a deer stand feels pretty wierd to me, but finding a CZ550 would feel much more in keeping. Sniping however is a valid tactic and adds an important dimension to the game. Overwatch for one. It def needs to stay. I'm a sniper myself. Gameplay with say, the CZ550 is much more enjoyable for all involved. Snipers have to up their game to get one hit kills and disable vehicles. Headshots, and hitting vehicle drivers etc. Generally when sniped by a CZ you are down, often unconscious and often with broken legs, you get a really scary few minutes where you have a chance to crawl away and patch yourself up. This is the sort of excitement that makes Dayz. From the attackers perspective they often then either have to close to finish the kill, or send in a team mate to do the job. This opens up the game play for the victims team mates. Both sides are drawn together , tactical options open up, risk on both sides goes up, but the encounter is also potentially longer.

Yes, to make sure tents and vehicles store items you should downgrade to 1.7.2.4 again. Yesterday evening I spoke a server admin who found this same problem and they downgraded after which all the problems were solved. The 1.7.2.5 patch was intended to fix the graphical glitches, but causes way more problems instead (and still doesn't fix the artifacs).

vehicles.txt. IS VERY USEFULL you can easly find script users there,=http://dayzmod.com/f...in-your-banlist see first Quote. its from the vehicles.txt

Day 7, no vehicles so far on DE 1608. Ill just keep posting until one of our seekers does actually find one.

While playing on US 947(1.7.2.4) and multiple times (near Sonichiny), I would encounter a player named Carbonewt. The first encounter, I was playing with a friend, and we saw a helicopter in the distance fly directly to us (we were hiding in a field near the gas station), and he landed, said he was ditching the helo, then once we got in, he blew it with explosives. I then respawed (by the grace of God) near Three Valleys, and I made my way back north since I had some decent equipment. Here I started hearing bus horns, and I was in the middle of the woods, but here comes a bus driving right to me. It was of course Carbonewt again. When this time I did not get in the bus and instead kept running, he then began to fire at me, killing me slowly by taking pot shots at my legs. I also had some friends who were trying to meet up with me who witnessed the helicopter landing and subsequent explosion. While I was respawning, they reported that immediately after that, another helicopter began flying over. Clearly he is spawning in vehicles and is able to locate players on the map, despite the fact that it was a veteran server. I unfortunately do not have any ability to capture visual evidence, but really all it takes is a few minutes playing in that area of the map on this server. I hope these sorts of exploits will be solved sometime soon, really hurts the feel of the game. This happened at about 00:30 PST.

So basically, I should revert back a patch if I want my server to function with using vehicles and tents? I mean they are a part of the game and not just a little part...

Patience, instinct, maybe a bike and enough food and drink. Then search for hidden vehicles along the northern and western edge of the map. We're still looking, though.^^

I can confirm this, I was there, he also spawned all of us in kamenka with lots of vehicles and choppers and started shoting at us, also broke our legs and stuff, plus the famous thunderdome.

did you not understand what he wrote? hes trying to give ideas how to lower the amount of pvp then i said my post and gz a mediocre camp with 3 common vehicles + uaz and what do you do to pass the day on DayZ? drive around in your unknown happy fairy server killing the harmless zombies with your mk 48? yaya game with no point after you play for 2 days good funs

Ok So the past week or longer tents on my server are constantly reverting back to an old save with gear in them after every restart. DESPITE saving them after looting them or even emptying them and packing them up, After a restart they appear again but empty. Now after updating to 1.7.2.5 Vehicles are also doing it. Me and a friend spent hours last night to get two atvs going get sufficient jerry cans and go loot a heap of camp sites we knew about. Everything went as planned we got stuff we wanted to help gear up our clan mates and such. We hid our atvs for the night saved them of course to ensure the save. After just logging in now (2 server restarts later (Automated)) My atv is back to having the stuff it starts with in it (can of beans heat pack and something else) Loosing 4 jerrys generous supply of food water meds 2x AS50's with ammo and 1 M1A4 CCO SD with ammo. All gone. So am I doing something wrong or is every server having this problem? Yes i'm aware we are in alpha, But it appears we're going BACKWARDS not forwards with patch releases. I use to have no problem with tents/vehiles before. /End rant

Recently on Day Z i've noticed that I can get top grade loot extremely quickly. All I do is find a tent site with every single item in the game within 15 minutes of playing, it's way too easy! I died yesterday and I already have NVG's, Rangefinder, MK 48, All the medical supplies I will need forerver, Coyote Backpack, Food for days, Ghillie Suit (Although I don't wear it because the Hero Skin is so orgasmic) and anything else I want (Including vehicles). "ERMAHGERD U R SO LUCKY" Not really, i've done this a few times on different servers also. Then I have all this military grade loot, now I have conquered the zombie apocalypse and I will never die to zombies in a zombie survival game. So PVP? I could if I wanted to but I, and other players don't really like PVPing as it's not my play style so the game becomes very boring, and I continuously ask my friends "Where should we go now?" which is normally replied with "I dunno" or "I don't care" so we end up doing pretty much nothing until we get shot or accidentally get ourselves killed by some glitch involving breaking bones or whatever. I think there should either be an ending or at least more to do in Chernarus. I haven't thought much about what a ending could be, maybe leaving Chernarus? Of course you wouldn't have to if you didn't want to, and there would be a lot of prerequisites in doing so, maybe you have to get to a airfield that has a ridiculous amount of zombies inside it (I'm talking like 200+) then gather enough parts to fuel, repair and launch a airplane. (Also this makes me think about helicopters, who in their right mind would fly in a helicopter around the same zombie infested county when they could just leave Chernarus and go somewhere safer?). I don't think it should be a Cure the zombie infestation type ending, because it wouldn't make sense for everyone else that is still playing, but hey at least a ending to a otherwise easy game. I mentioned more to do in Chernarus, I don't know what but I have often discussed with friends 'Money' in Day Z, find it on zombies etc. It would be great to have vending machines you could buy food from (This might make it too easy so it could be junk food that doesn't cure starvation all the way or doesn't heal any blood). Money would be extremely rare etc. and you could use it for other things possibly purchase goods and weaponry from NPC vendors like a Dead Rising kind of deal. When I first started playing Day Z it was a completely different experience from any other game i've ever played. Unexpected things would happen, first time seeing Chernogorsk or Elektrozavodsk and seeing the bountiful loot they held. Or being paranoid as hell when it's nighttime and you hear the growls and moans of the zombies as you tried to fight the horde with the little ammunition you had. Needless to say, I don't get these experiences anymore Chernogorsk and Elektrozavodsk are just PVP playground, excluding the hospitals where you can get useful stuff. I mean it's cool if you like PVP and all that I ain't hating, it's just I see myself as a medic/friendly type, I litreally don't kill anyone because if I do get killed it doesn't matter to me. Just 20 minutes and I have all my stuff back, and possibly more (If i get a Kamenka spawn then just travel north to find metric shit tonnes of tent sites). I've debated about joining one of those Medic Clans that go around helping people but eh, doesn't seem interesting to me (If you've had experience with these groups reply to this post because I would actually be genuinely interested in that) I guess this was just a rant post, it was supposed to have some great fuckin' ideas but I guess i'm a bad forum writer/poster w/e. I hope i'm not the only one that gets bored as fuck from Day Z, I just wish it had more to do or an ending. Post whatever you think of the Money idea or Endings - Or even post your own I would love to see some.

Yep, Hive problem. Vehicles do it Transformer Style, they get reverted to kaputt after they were repaired, positions and inventory wont save, and some servers (like mine) dont spawn any vehicles at all. I guess its save to say its bugged atm. Hope the DayZ Team is working on this even though Rocket is at Cologne this week. This and the lack of feedback from the devs is very frustrating.

To start off with, i am 14, but shouldnt be judged by my age... i am very mature and smart! anyways my current time zone is GMT -7 and am looking for a group to team up with, throw them empty whisky bottles at zombies in cherno. i have a second group thats hardly on, so we will have a hefty clan if i can recruit some well experienced players. I plan on raiding cities, find vehicles and crashed heli's, and just have a good time. That being said, here is how you can contact me: SKYPE... skype name: pvm.this i am currently geared up in elektro PS~ (im a brony) Thanks Bros!

I also have some changes I would love to see added 1) Remove the fuel from fucking propane tanks and move filling locations to actual gas stations (basically ~3 less fueling locations) 2) Jet fuel for helicopters... cmon Bi, as a war simulator producing company I think we are to expect you to simulate the proper fuel allocated to different types of vehicles 3) Jet fuel to ONLY spawn at the 3 airstrips/fields. This would add A LOT more traffic to those areas (especially top right airstrip) 4) Introduce a pump system, I found a hacked crate couple of days ago and managed to jack a... what the fuck was it called.... portable motor or something, I did some poking around and rocket said he's looking for a use to this item; WELL HERE YOU GO! If a player brings that with them and park the vehicle/heli in a specific radius it would be auto-filled within a short period of time (to combat the log re-fueling process with jerry cans)

All spawned in vehicles (not in the DB) disappear after server restarts. This is because vehicles not in the database cannot be manually saved to the database by a player.

Simple premise: What if there weren't any infinite fuel sources, and you had to scavenge for jerry cans in order to refill the tank on your vehicle? Adjustments may need to be made, such as the rate and location that jerry cans spawn at, or maybe even the rate at which vehicles actually use fuel. (the jerry cans would probably disappear on use) What benefits and drawbacks would this have, and what other adjustments might have to be made to make this work well?

Yes. 1,000 times more creative scouring for camps for vehicles and loot, avoiding multiple pointless attempts on my life, all while looking for random friendlies (rather than finding them on the Forum/TS3/Mumble etc) for a spur of the moment survival team-up. I also enjoy supporting new spawns when the conditions present themselves. Killing Zombies isn't a big challenge, but it is proof I haven't spent ALL of my time in the woods. There's at LEAST 1,000 PvP virtual soldier boys for each lone wolf like me I imagine. Medics, Traders, Armed Robbers, Mercenaries, and Delivery People exhibit more imagination then the hormonal alpha male meathead response of, "have gun must KILL KILL KILL". I really don't care how far you can shoot me from. PvP belongs in this game but for me, it's a very small aspect. This game is evolving so much, I'm just curious how many Beta patches this character will last for, lol. And yes, hopefully the standalone will facilitate more play styles in a way that is more apparent and more easily accessible for the masses.

Yes if a moderator/admin goes through his server logs he can see where 'Script Kiddies' have used scripts to create items, weapons, vehicles, etc. MOST of the time. Scripting is the retard version of hacking. They dont build their own hacks they use easily made easily detected hacks. 'Hackers' are more intelligent and use thier own knowledge to manipulate the game and is VERY difficult to detect. HOWEVER you missed something I said. If you pick up a hacked weapon/item/vehicle you WILL NOT BE BANNED. Because the way the loot system works and you could pick it up without realizing it is hacked in. (I actually picked up a G36 Mag when I was new). Yes they can tell the contents of your inventory? (I was called out on mag) or just when you looted it? idk which but they can see. And yes when a player scripts in gear they can see who did it. Only problem right now is you need absolute proof to ban and its very difficult to get (IE on servers w no tags) Again this is how hackers work. 1 hacking. The rest just surfing of his hacks. Could you please clarify? There is a server side BEC and a client side BEC. However (I suspect due to BIS very generous use of their servers, time, bandwidth, and all Rocket and his mod) this game is not allowed to affect BIS's clients or game. Now I bet what happened is some douche bag server moderators decided to start banning people w their EPEEN BANHAMMERS (legitimately for hackers and illegitimately for players who Merc'd them and their gear). I suspect this caused a massive uproar to BIS from players who recieved a global ban who bitched and whined they didnt do anything wrong and BIS came back and said NO MORE BANNING. So Rocket was stuck in the difficult position of trying to appease us and keep his project alive. They did take RCon tools away but they remained adamant that if you could provide proof they would ban for you. THIS WILL GO AWAY. When DayZ goes stand alone we will get back server side control.

It seems to happen that when I find Mountain Dew if I keep it on me I get very bad luck ( Die In about an hour from getting it ) But when I drink it my luck seems to be higher for me I normally find better loot from spawns, win in gun fights, survive by snipers and have better luck at finding vehicles and tents. Does anyone else have an opinion on if it's cursed or not? ( Kind of a pointless thread but I wanted to see what people would say )

you can get away with just taking a couple of wheels and a couple of jerry cans, once you move it you can fix her up proper, i say todo it this way because your never the only one looking for the vehicles. oh and take some beans its all about the beans
