As a player who plays in a clan from time to time, we like to have enough vehicles that on some nights (usually weekends, aka Friday/Saturday night) we can do some night time raids etc. Problem is, all our vehicles eventually get stolen. In order to actually have enough vehicles for the nights we wanna have a bit of fun we have to constantly steal vehicles, whether they be from other players camps or their spawn points or whatever. Because we usually roll these night time raids with at least 6 people we usually need at least 3 vehicles. ATVs are really good, but guaranteed if we only take 3 ATVs there will be nothing left of them by the weekend. So we steal as many as we can and hide them so we have any chance of doing what we want to do. We are vehicle hoarders because they are constantly stolen or destroyed on site. If people left them alone, we wouldn't need to take more than our share.

Anyway... Speaking as someone whom currently has multiple vehicles collected among his four-person 'team'... I fully support reducing the vehicle despawn-and-reset-when-not-in-use interval to 3 days instead of 7. I agree, 7 days is far too long. And if I'm not using a vehicle for more than half a week, not even for storage, then I don't deserve to have it. Let a player who is more active in the game enjoy it. Oh yeah, and guys? Pro tip? You really wanna hold on to your vehicles, then DON'T HIDE THEM ON THE MAP FRINGES. THAT'S WHERE EVERYONE LOOKS. Be a boss and pick a clever location in the center of the map somewhere. Thick copses of evergreens off in the middle of the woods with no obvious landmarks, taking care it's not on some logical straight-line trajectory between two places players are likely to visit. I have hidden vehicles in the middle of the map on a server in the 90th percentile of popularity for WEEKS.

You have exactly one non-crap vehicle there. Good luck hiding those rainbow-colored civilian vehicles on a server that actually has a lot of players for any length of time. Get more than one UAZ, multiple motorcyles. And maybe the Gaz (fastest vehicle on pavement in the game, huge fuel capacity, only one per server). Then I'll be impressed. P.S. lol @ your tractor. Why even bother?

I don't see your tool as competing. That tool is for scanning files, personally I prefer yours - the community gets bent out of shape when we kick/ban someone at the best of time and I prefer to have control on what I'm banning for. setVehicleInit - which you quite rightly flag, can be used to spawn vehicles - can be in the log files legitimately. Don't abandon it just yet.

Hey, know you posted this to find out where to find items and I agree with the Charb & tbh most of our clans stuff has been found in ludicrous tent cities of duped items, my skype real name is Damien Cabrol, can send you the map reference coordinates for some tents I left after a thunderdome hit the server at the north west airfield, their you can find night vision, gps, ghillie suit, satchel charges L85, M4SD etc. :) as long as your not a dick and don't take everything then its cool man. Been playing for a few months now and your best bet other than this is to head north and just wander through the woods on a few servers, I keep stumbling over tent cities when i've got no compass or anything. also just beyond the small inlet of water extremely north east is a great place to go for vehicles, every numpty and their mum seems to hide stuff their :) hope this helps and other than that good luck finding stuff once you get sniped with our shit > goddamn everyone has an AS50 or M107 at the moment, wish they would do and total server/character wipe if you ask me as the hacker/dupe situation is rather out of hand (not that I haven't taken advantage, but I would trade starting from scratch for dealing with all the pussies that wander back to cherno/electro with .50 cal rifles anyday)

This is Chris (Crit in DayZ) and I am one of two admins on server 935. I would like to start off by first stating that we do not own a camp on our server, other than some pedal bikes. We had a helicopter a few days ago and it was stolen from us, that's it! It's truly amazing how some DayZ players can get so unbelievably butthurt that they feel the need to concoct some story in their mind that justifies them dying and their right to be angry. Also, YOU do not pay or contribute to the server so coming to these forums and acting as if you are entitled to anything at all is absolutely inane. We pride ourselves on providing a lag-free and mostly hacker-free environment, so these kind of comments are just the sort of things that would make me cancel a server. Good to know there's a Ural floating around. P.S. the "proof" you have isn't "proof" at all. I'm pretty sure you already knew that though, or you're 16. **EDIT: I noticed in your original post that you seem to think [uRF] is administrating our server. I don't know who these people are and they do not have admin privileges on my server. Where are you getting any of your information?** Two other servers? How aspie can you possibly be? We have one server and I have no idea where you've come up with the idea that we have more. There is only one other admin other than me and he only plays while I am on so I can assure you that these accusations are completely inaccurate. You people are exactly the niche part of this community that I cannot stand. P.S. I'm going to be redundant to prove a point. WE DO NOT HAVE A CAMP. I have not taken anything from you, we have not moved any vehicles. Get over yourself.

All I noticed that all tents are gone on my home server - also all vehicles gone too :(

That's all I do as well, and I generally find vehicles that need repairs......which would lead me to raiding towns with industrial buildings filled with zombies. Hell, if anything I should have less kills with my silenced m4.

Thats not from Hive, its from GameSpy -_- hive only stores server specific details such as objects (tents/vehicles) and player stuff like equipment, medical condition and location.

Mainly travelling looking for vehicles. I will post updates ;P

I agree with more vehicles if it's going to be on a larger map. vehicles are pretty easy to find if you know where to look for them. pro-tip check the west border and the north border!

Well I stumbled upon an SUV and a motorbike along with my friends while we were roaming around Solnichniy in our Military Offroad. I've saved it and put it in our camp. My question is, do SUV's spawn or is it hacker spawned? If it is hacker spawned, will I be banned for using it? Its a pretty nice vehicles reaching at 115MPH.

Saved vehicles are not supposed to have a delay on the spawn time, something is clearly wrong with the object streaming from hive.

Some of you fail to understand the problem, I (as all clans) know a member who also happens to be in the same clan/group and spawns in weapons/vehicles and what not. Admins have the access to guids and can provide them to hackers to spoof. That particular friend has not been banned yet (even though he runs the public bypasser) but I was notified not too long ago that one of our other friends was banned even though he has been on a cruise in the middle of the fucking ocean for the past 2 weeks..... I do believe ~80% of the 20k or so players banned last couple of days are legit hackers but I also strongly believe a large number of players banned have done nothing wrong. Heck, I was globally banned 1 month ago simply because I kept trying to login as admin into my own server and kept getting script restriction errors until I was banned. Contacted BE support and they took care of that (#54 #55 and other script was in 100s)

I have absolutely no technical knowledge of how the hive database works (my bad), but if you want some sort of explanation from someone who knows anything about computers, here goes: One other issues in Dayz is saving vehicles. If you manipulate a car's inventory (remove/add an item), then within a minute or two save the vehicle and relog, you will often find an item is either missing or duplicated, depending on the operation you performed. This could be similar to what happened with you, perhaps you put one last meat steak or can of soda in the pack, then immediately logged out. The alternative explanation is that one item may have not been represented fully in the database (maybe it was supposed to be in your backpack, but the database couldn't find it, because it was actually in your inventory when you logged out), so the database assumed your entire pack was glitched, and deleted all of the objects in your backpack. Hope this brings some sort of comfort to you. If you find this happening in the future, I recommend trying the following: 1. Dropping/picking up your pack on flat ground 2. Putting all of your backpack contents into a pile, signing out 10-15m away from the pile, then logging back in and putting all of the items into the backpack, then waiting a few minutes and signing out again. 3. Going into the fetal position and crying your heart out. Hope this helps!

Did the same thing with my server last night. Had "maphacking" so everyone could see tents, vehicles and other players combined with mass-teleporting to the centre of electro. Restarted the server several times and even took it down for an hour or so to make them "lose interest", but to no avail. In order for players camps and vehicles not to get compromised I had to take the whole server down. Sucks.

Well I havent seen all vehicles in the game yet...So thats why Im asking. Next time try to be more of a lil smartass.

I have been playing for 2 days and already seen more haxx then what i saw when i was playing for an entire month before June. Yesterday i met a guy who was obviously a hacker, he was a nice guy though, gave us a ride in his car and teleported us to the hospital. Also seen massive fires burning along the shores. And spawned vehicles. The hackers seems to be everywhere, seen it on both EU and US servers. Yeah i guess there is a smaller chance to meet hackers on 25 man. But seriously 25 men on a server is too little. Really hope there can be a solution to this. Right now Hackers must be causing alot of people to stop playing.

I have friends that just buy servers to hoard vehicles, Make a camp so no hacking fuckbag can get to it. They also shut it down when they are not on it etc. You know why? Its called an Anti_Cheat measure. So no asshole faggit SKiddies come on the server and display how they took their dads credit card and wasted it on a game not to have fun themselves but to make everyone's day a shit tonne funner. Some hackers are cool. Like i saw the bus that went 400 Kph and he took us fir rides. Didnt give us any gear but was being kind. Some just are plain cruel immature children who thing playing CoD in dayZ works. What ever the case. People do go to measures just to keep themselves safe.

I think the population of people hacking in this game is actually larger than the honest players/fans of the game. Me any my teammates were always wondering how people could perfectly flank/assault us every time we tried to do some covert ops, turns out all they have to do is look at the in-game map and they can see all of our positions regardless of visibility or difficulty and teleport behind us to take us out. I'm not even going to bother playing on the public hive servers until the prolific hacking gets stopped. Story time: The other day we did a Stary run (6 of us), on a 18-person server. I was on the backside of the sniping hill (the hill next to the tents) with a buddy, and we were watching the deer hut on the other side of the valley. We had 2 snipers watching Stary (no zombies in town of course, we had it all to ourselves), and 2 people with silenced weapons went in. They finished looting and were on their way back up when a man with an AS50 teleports onto the crest of the hill opposite us (across Stary) and insta-headshots one of our guys. He teleports up to the other guy, my friend unloads into him, and he fires his AS50 several times into my friend. 2 more shots and he kills our 2 snipers on the hill, which he didnt have direct line-of-sigh with at the time. Me and my overwatch buddy were trying to bolt away at full speed towards the deer hut (to put some distance, maybe they wouldn't notice us). My friend had made it into the treeline, and I was about 15 feet away, but still shielded from the sniping hill by several of the large bushes (the kind only large vehicles can push over). Not only that, but I was feeling relieved because the weather was bad and I could no longer see the top of the sniping hill. The hacker must have turned on their aimhacks, because a second later, I saw a silhouette on the sniper hill, and they headshot me across the field, through two bushes, just outside of visible sight range. I had my friend abort because we couldn't let the hacker get everyone. Now for the sad part. Our surviving friend went on the next day to do some ops by themselves, but got thunderdomed by a hacker not 15 minutes after signing onto a server.

From the battleye "support" page :No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored.

Well We did plan on making this our "Home" But we came back today and discovered all our Vehicles gone along with everything we had transfered over from weeks of looting that was stored in them GONE. WTF?? It would have been nice to send out a Notice letting us know that you plane on doing a complete restart.setup and changing to Vetern so we could have saved our stuff elswhere . Man this is BS. Now Our Time zone is changed?? Why did you not send out a 24hr Notice before you did this? >:(

Then how did money originate in the first place? There was no central bank, only a general consensus of value. Money itself is a very simple thing, it only gets more complicated when the playing field expands. Essentially, the central bank would be the player base. How about vehicles? Assuming you don't shoot the guy in the face for it, what can you give him thats worth a Helicopter or a APC? Theres only so many guns and so much ammo a person can need. Thats where currency comes into play. Even in smaller cases, its easier to have a median commodity to get what you want, rather then finding someone who has what you want in addition to you having what they want. The thing is whether or not people would trust the currency enough. Thats the sandbox of it.

We've had a fun few nights on US 651, with incidents ranging from the questionable to the truly bizarre! Even with the current atmosphere in regards to cheats and hacks, I don't feel we're being too hasty to call out some of the happenings. Just starting off with the frankly hilarious numbers of high value weaponry floating around, I refuse to believe much of it is legit, especially since I keep finding camps where they seem to have a true abundance of utilities like night vision goggles... After finding the previously mentioned Minimiumiu on an isolated lighthouse island - I think it's Dragon that's out in the sea? - alongside 2 vehicles, one of which was not of the kind that spawns in the DayZ map, we suspected shenanigans. We were ready to just call it weird coincidence when we caught MMM and another player sneaking up on us to steal our bike, shot them both finding them to only have medium-tier gear, AKMs and such. Their death was shortly followed by 3 of us being dispatched individually, in the same place, with close-range gunshots from some kind of AK (from the sounds of it) and nobody in sight. We each had time to look in the immediate area before we were killed, and spotted nobody. By pure luck Endora respawned near Elektro and made it back to our spot in time to retrieve the bike, which he rode off in... and about 30 seconds later, everyone on the server froze on the spot! We couldn't move, although zombies and such were still functioning as normal around us. I believe Endora aborted before any damage occured to him and we later retrieved the bike, although it unfortunately disappeared without explanation later - much like our Ural, tractor and GAZ - though our camp was seemingly untouched. Besides these events I've described, I've also experienced having everybody on the map, at peak time, teleported to an area along the south-west coast where a firefight broke out... I do believe it was only 2 or so people firing, and the rest of us scratching our heads as we died. I ran and did actually make it away, but then promptly got script killed - judging from the deaths running up the side of the screen, as did everybody else who survived. Yesterday took the cake though - Araxes and I were riding another bike somewhere north of Cherno, on our way to Elektro, when we suddenly glitched half way through the map. Several terrifying moments later, after we'd been in the interior of several buildings, I found myself dismounted in the middle of Cherno, surrounded by vehicles. I counted a minimum of 15 buses, as well as a line of exploded helicopters scattered across the countryside, an ATV in the middle of a house, and bicycles aplenty. Assuming the probable loss of our bike I took control of one of the buses that wasn't on fire yet, and drove it away. About a minute later I died with no explanation. I refuse to believe I was sniped given that the windows were fully intact, and upon revisiting the site later, found the bus a mere shell of its former self, having been blown to kingdom come. (I guess this is what I get for trying to take advantage of the situation!) We've also found numerous dodgy looking campsites - one of my favourites at the dam north of Elektro, situated under the water thanks to a terrain glitch allowing one to walk to the bottom of the lake - and enough vehicles that we've started to doubt whether there's any legitimate spawns whatsoever. Including a helicopter which I excitedly insisted I could drive, and promptly flipped (never going to live that one down), killing 3 of us. Denizens of US 651 have my apologies for map marker spam from one or more of our members, and that one guy who placed one reading 'why are LCAT dying so much?' - probably the dude shooting us from beneath the floor on Elektro hill - well, all I can say is that friendly fire and vehicle buggery have caused infinite more damage to us than you have! :lol: Also, shoutout to 'Ass Grabber Supreme', a man we sniped no less than 5 times, caught him running up the hill with an axe towards us, and also when I died to another chap sneaking up on us I respawned near the fellow and gave him my commendations - and he repaid me by shooting me on the spot, with around 30 zombies chasing the two of us! Things are no better on the other servers we've looked at recently. I got a good laugh out of being dropped from the sky and reading BattlEye's propaganda as we fell - updated and improved my backside!
