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.

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.

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

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.

Dear deagle of US 816, We have been raiding your car park that is surrounded by dozens of sandbags and barbwire fences. In it we have found many interesting things, ghillie suits and NVGs out the ass, as well as about twenty MK 17 SD ammo, no gun sadly. We even found a useable chopper on your server and had a hell of a time cruising around until you restarted the server. Ever since then we have been poking around your camp. One day after snooping around for an hour we blew up the camp. That night we also took one of your many cars and went for a joy ride where we happened to run into you in the Ural. Everyone was killed but still your camp was blown to bits, even after your attempt to reset the server. Just a the other day we raided your camp again and blew up what was remaining when one of you showed up. He was killed but shortly after you reset the server yet again. We did yet a third strike that same day, killing two people in your camp. As we were getting ready to blow up the vehicles again, you reset the server, for a fourth time. Yesterday two of the people in my group decided to pay you a visit with out me. They ended up killing you while you were in a truck, 15seconds later they were laughing their asses off because you shut down the server AGAIN. The server remained off until just a few hours ago. I went in solo today, sometime after 10:30pm (-7GMT), to scope out the camp. When I felt it was safe I went and blew up your camp. I was out of bombs but I knew there was at least one left in a tent near where your camp is on a different server. After grabbing it I logged back into your server, I instantly noticed the Ural parked there and knew you were in your camp. As I waited in the bushes for several minutes I watched as you and your buddy "Alex" run around your camp. At one point Alex started coming towards me, most likely because he saw the old bike I took for a spin in the trees next to me. I ended up killing him and then turning to you, (quick question, why the hell do you two carry 50 cals at night?). Pretty sure I shot you (I failed at aiming) before you logged out like a pussy, FYI your server says NO COMBAT DODGING. FINALLY I had the chance to take out that Ural. I sprinted to the Ural, placed a bomb, ran 75meters and blew it. Some how it disappeared from the map and I was not able to save it in a burning state like we did to your buses, I guess the bomb really messed it up. I moved to the south tree line to setup overwatch on the camp waiting for you to log back in so I could finish you. No server restart this time... I was impressed. Until I got the "You have been kicked." message, twice. For those wondering about the number of bombs used, every time you place them and the server restarts or you log off the bombs go back into your bag, don't know if it is a bug or intended. List of people we have killed so far in your camp: deagle Schwarz Jesus Christ Alex Eric https://www.gametrac...244.83.74:2332/ Link to the game tracker page for deagle's server. Check the historical data for the last 7days. Noticed the MASSIVE dead zones? That is the server being turned off minutes after our raids. ALSO just as I was writing this (12:00am -7GMT) I refreshed the GT page and the server is offline. AGAIN. Seriously. With our mission to destroy your base and vehicles complete we move to a new mission, hunt you and your group. I will abandon the camps on my servers and run around with 4+ man kill squads on yours. I am sure that we now have far greater fire power than your group and we may even outnumber you at this point. We will stalk your group members waiting for the perfect time to strike from all directions, which is actually hard on your server since you have name tags on which can give away our position. (Very annoying to have name tags) I will be posting several videos of our encounters soon so that everyone can see how you operate with your server restarts. Yes, I recorded almost every encounter we have had with you and your group :). First night: http://youtu.be/SkmwaQCacds Audio is choppy towards the end due to not setting up the recording properly. Ambush from the hills: http://youtu.be/ItwmT8ocQn0 Spent about 15minutes planning this ambush, could have done it with just two snipers but four people just makes it more fun. Apparently I can't put more videos in this post. Videos can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MoonFragranceLoL/videos

Seriously, the best piece of advice I can give a new DayZ player is to play ARMA II. You know, that game you paid for! You can make your own missions and try out most of the weapons and all of the vehicles without annoying your team mates or getting shot by bandits. Want to learn how to pilot a chopper? Play ARMA II. Want to learn how to shoot a sniper rifle and use the mill-dots? Play ARMA II. Want to learn how to move and look around without being seen? Play ARMA II. Want to play as a bunny rabbit? Play ARMA II. That and it's a fun game in it's own right, so why neglect something you paid for in the first place?

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.

Exactly. It would also fit with the 'rare gas, common vehicles' framework that rocket said he liked during his reddit interview yesterday, it would just require some balancing to make sure it is strong enough for the work put in but not overpowered. I was thinking that the flamethrower could cause all players inside a building to go unconscious for a short/moderate amount of time to simulate all of the O2 in the room being burned up, similar to how flamethrowers were used in WWII on pillboxes and cave positions.

How do you usually join the server? Arma, SU or another 3rd party application? It could be that they are simply not showing for you, but are up and running. Else, your tents are gone, since they are local to servers (as are vehicles).

hacked vehicles, been wall banged, aimbot, teleportation kills, invisibility and oneshot killed by handguns in the leg

Got a message from my hoster: The vehicles will spawn after 7 days trough the hive-network. Have to wait for that.

I just put that on my server, and loaded the new txt. And got this in the createvehicle.log. Thought this is only for vehicles? 14.08.2012 05:27:41: Playername (78.53.xx.xx:62249) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - #0 "DZ_Backpack_EP1" 533:6 [0,0,0]

Hi! If its already said - I have to say it again. Here is idea: 1. Weapon clips don't disappear when depleted. 2. Clips can be refilled near ammo box. 3. Ammo boxes situated in military buildings (police offices?) 4. Any of clip can be refilled near single ammo box (no questions about fuel types for different vehicles? So, let it be!) 5. Make ammo boxes (safes) closed. Player need a crowbar to open it. Also crowbar can be hanged on belt. You ask me why? Here is answer: 1. I think this will make game more interesting. I like to fill water canisters and jerry cans - its fun! 2. Upcoming update will fix endless ammo - it will make game harder and less funny. So, this idea makes this update less destructive and more interesting (ammo still endless but you have to deserve it!) 3. Ammo boxes will not break balance because they situated in military buildings. Its a dangerous spot where all the fight is going. Also you will have to find crowbar. Thank you. p.s. English is not my language. Sorry for mistakes.

Just bought a new server, no vehicles. Day 1. I thought it was just more, or I was just looking in the wrong places but nope, I checked heaps of places and there's no vehicles there. So add me to the list, too please. BTW: I have a managed server hosted by HFBServers. Could I get some hints/tips on how to run the server I'm renting? I don't really know what I'm doing, some help would be good, thanks.

I took a vow not to kill anyone in this game and so far in 2 months I have stuck to it, except one guy in self defence. I'm usually all over the map searching for vehicles except for Cherno, Electro and the NWA using stealth and avoidance when I see others and never firing a weapon unless forced into it. I don't do PvP in this game so logically I avoid those areas. I'll only venture to the cities when I need bloodbags and morphine with a group of friends. Just because I won't kill you doesn't mean my friend won't kill you to protect the group. I'm not sure if the new skins are going to effect my gameplay yet. But if bandit hunting raises humanity then it fits in with my personal aims for the game - long survival and high humanity, currently at +8300. I've hardly played in the past week since the games been almost unplayable with the deaths from hacking on average every 7 hours and spawning you on the coast if you get stuck connecting to a server. I run north drop off supplies in my tents, I have 3 of them on 3 different servers so it keeps spawning me on the coast since one of them is very unstable (which is exactly why I chose it for my tent). School summer holidays end in Europe at the start of Sept so hopefully things will calm down then with the script kiddies. Nothing makes me sadder than noobs sniping Electro and Cherno since 95% of players in there are new spawns looking for low level loot so I've been searching for groups that help people but have an over 21 policy.

Hi guys, is there any way how to reset vehicles on the server ? We found an helicopter in the sea near the skalisty island, someone bugged it here and we cant destroy it etc. Thanks for ur help.

This works for me with vehicles! Ok when I find a vehicle I fix it up. Drive it to where I want to hide it put one item in it like a tin can or something u don't care if u lose. And only then do I hit the save button once. After that it should be there after server restart don't save it again or u will lose it.

I would have to concur with this. I loaded up my tent last night, and nothing was in there besides the stuff that was in there before the latest patch. Vehicles, yeah right they are all being hoarded.

Age: 19 steam name: flashgabe how long have you played: 1 month (very active on every morning and night) Timezone: uct -8 (Pacific) equipment you currently have: M14, M4 CCO, AKM (19 mags), Bizon SD, m1911, 2 vehicles in another server. I play this game methodically and minimizing risk is my #1 priority. I enjoy stalking people and watching them. I once followed someone half way across the map and then shot them when they were in an open field. I consider myself extremely good at following other players unnoticed. And I stay very calm during tense fire fights. Recently lost my main AS50 setup (maxed with nvg's, range finder, gps, ghillie) :(
