Hello. I would like to ask how many vehicles are there in one server?

So I was playing with my friend and when I was In Elektrozavodsk we met some dude who was In tank and he suddenly fell unconscious and his tank exploded.Then we went to help him and asked where he found the tank he answered:I found It outside the city.I dont believe him that he found the tank,I believe he spawned It.His name was Wunder but you can change name so It is not important.So I am asking If It Is real to find a tank.

Been playing for a couple of weeks now. Never seen a car, bike, quad bike, anything with wheels. I know the Helicopters have been taken down due to some glitching or something but thought we would have seen a car by now. Are they all sitting with a clan up north? ;)

In this thread, I am looking for the locations that you have found a stash of hidden (Clan) vehicles, you dont have to say the server just where you found them, the hopes of this is for Clans who stash all the vehicles on a map will have their location revealed and maybe make them think and move said vehicles around, giving other players the chance to see them driving and try to steal them :P , I will get it started, i found a bike, ute and an atv on the hills near Petrovka and a found multiple boats stored on the outer side of the chain of islands at otmel.

Greetings, I think the vehicle's spawn mechanic needs a balancing. To my knowledge vehicles only spawn on server resets and if the vehicle was destroyed. I'm sure there's a timer and a probabilty aspect to spawning but that doesn't really affect the issue. Now I think this is a nice realistic mechanic, but I do not bleleve the majority of the vehicles on a server are being used as they're intended by Dayz. Now this creates an problem, as players that are new to a server are most likely never to find a vehicle at an orginial spawn location. Now you don't want vehicles to common occurance in a survival game. But as the game is currently being played, vehicles are being hoarded and hidden. Usually by shady means like by the server admins and or being placed on the edges of the map. I've been playing this game since v1.7.5, a few weeks. But I've done a lot of traveling, running. In the laps I have done around Chernarus I have only found 2 ATV's on a low pop. server. Its hard to make a suggestion as changing the current vehicle's spawning mechanics would require some serious tweaking. Tweaking that I don't have a clue about nor resource restraints. Don't get me wrong, make your fort. Keep your vehicle. But I'd imagine it would involve a way of anti hoarding or spawning a new vehicle after such vehicle is gone for such time.

I recently found fuel tank parts, engine parts, 2 car wheels, and a jerrycan (full of gas) I'm wondering if this would be able to repair any vehicle :/ I'm thinking it would for sure repair a motorcycle.... maybe :/? I did try finding the guide but can't find it -.- sorry lol

we literally had a vehicle for about 5 minutes and the wheel just randomly went off.. *video of it breaking pretty much instantly*

hey fellas, was playing quite some time today with 3 friends, we started the day off trying to hunt some vehicles. not 5 minutes after i logged in i spot a half broken V3S in Prigo, me obviously going there to see and check if it works. wasn't fully repaired, but hey, it worked. went from prigo all the way to lopatino and searched for a spot somewhere southwest of it to hide it there. we were mainly gonna use this truck to store stuff in. later me and someone else went on some deer stand hunting. while looting some deer stands we stumble upon the barn northwest of myshkino, the white offroad pickup truck is able to spawn there, and it did for us. it was almost all red. luckily we had some wheels in our truck. we went looking for the others parts for almost an hour. finally it was all fueled up, repaired and ready to go. we drove it up to our camp to get the stuff we stored in out of there, and put it into our V3S. one of us had to go and i decide to ride the pickup truck to berezino to pick up a buddy who recently died due to alt tabbing while having zombie aggro. (i've been using the save vehicle button alot of times on these 2 cars). while driving over northwest airfield towards berezino i get the no message received error. i kind of panic because these 2 are the only vehicles i've found for myself or my group. it was a quick server restart and i was able to log back in not a long time later. i notice that i spawned all the way back at the white offroad pickup spawn point, northwest of myshkino. this is where i get worried, i still had stuff in my backpack that i had found a few hours ago, even though i had already put it in the V3S meanwhile. i don't see the white pickup truck anywhere at the spawn point. i run 3 kilometers back to our camp and not only our white pickup truck is gone, but also the V3S, which also contained a DMR + NVG's. i was obviously quite sad at this point and i don't know what really happened, the server was indeed quite laggy but i wouldn't expect an unannounced server restart out of nowhere. is there any way to avoid this in the future? i don't want to lose any vehicles again. also, what was the cause of this? why would the server rollback to like 1,5/2 hours ago?

Could someone please explain the mechanics behind storing gear in a vehicle? A friend and I had a lot of gear saved in a vehicle. It saved the gear all night, with intervals of up to 2 hours of us not touching the vehicle. 20 hours later when we log on the next day, vehicle is there but no gear. Anyone have feedback or answers? much appreciated.

So I stopped my server for 5 minutes today to tweak some settings and when I restarted it all my clans saved tents and vehicles had despawned. I thought that saved items persisted after server restarts... Any light you guys can shine on this would be greatly appreciated.

It's just a nooby question but found no clear answer and mostly the global chat on the server is not active, so: Exists vehicles on all servers from patch version 93XXX to 94444 or is there a possibility to deactivate them? On some server I found vehicles very easy and some servers I spend a week and couldn't found anything. If yes, did this also count for helicopter?

Ok so far I've been playing Dayz for a few months and my latest survival run is a personal best of 8 days. Ive been playing the same server for over a month now and starting to become strangely curious as to how my packed out vehicles are being found so easily in such short time even though they are placed in near impossible to find places. Now dont jump down my neck here and try hitting me with the old "hide them better" bullshit. Its only 1 vehicle at a time and my group dont hoard or use tents, we have 1 and 1 only at a time but we do pack it to shit. We've each took turns and hidden several vehicles now on this server (no names mentioned) the latest being that well hidden even I lost it for a while and I knew its exact co-ords however, in a very short space of time it had been found and taken. Yes it was saved....before anyone asks! But this seems to be a very regular occurrence. Is it possible clan guys are using logs to trace and recover?

How often do I have to check them? I mean, I don't want to go to my tent every day and at the moment I just want to have fun in cherno for a week or so. Will my tents/vehicle be safe (in server terms) for a week unattended?

How do I save a vehicle?I see the option to save via mouse wheel but then what?do I have to join the same server to ensure I am woth my vehicle?

New vehicles should be added where you can fire your weapons from the passenger areas. Or if possible modify the current vehicles to allow it.

This server today lost all vehicles and defend objects(hogs,traps). After this we walk at 6-7 vehicle spawns near zelenogorsk-pustoshka and don't see any one.

Well, first off, what's the easiest vehicle to find, and where are they found? Also, what's the most preferred vehicle.

Nevermind, close this post

Required: Server this happened on: Atlanta 22 Time that it happened including your timezone: 9:30 AM, July 7th, 2012 (Central time) What happened during the incident: I just respawned and saw theese 5 vehicles. Not knowing if they were hacked in or not, I drove one away, ending up in NW airfield, which I found a Apache in. After seeing that, I assumed they were hacked in, and flew the Apache back to Chernogorsk to get screenshots of the trucks. I am scared that after driving the vehicles that I found I might get battleye banned, and I wanted to make sure the ban was distributed to the correct players. Optional: - Pictures: Screenshots, some were from me inside the vehicles (Before I knew they were hacked in - http://steamcommunity.com/id/Bobustin/screenshots?tab=public&showdate=1&filter=app_33930 Again, I am sorry for using the hacked in vehicles as I shouldn't have, and will not drive vehicles without checking if they are spawned in again. I would like to see the hacker banned, because Atlanta 22 is a fun server, and the homeserver of me and my friends. Thanks, Bobustin

Topic. Still get the option to repair it with parts, but I can't get on it as a driver. Is it possible to fix it, or is it toast? It looks completely destroyed, no wheels, etc.

About 7pm GMT this evening we had a hacker/s come on the server and move all our vehicles from where ever they where and put the on an island opposite Cap Golova. Here are the screenshots and a quick video of this happening. After this the server was then nuked, and priests then spawned on everyone and broke our legs. We have tried to find out who has caused this problem but they are clearly bypassing battleye as they didnt appear in our logs. One of the hackers was called Ehsan T. The console shows they login to the server but the didn't have a GUID just an ip address. Earlier on during the day (2pm GMT) someone was spawning NPC's in the game we had priests and warlords attacking people. I have blocked the IP on the server itself and the problem seems to have stopped for now but how can we prevent this from happening again and how to we get all the vehicles back to normal on the server?

Hello DayZ Community, I host a virtual server and two dedicated servers for DayZ. My virtual server, hosted by ViLayer.com, has been up for 10 days now. This server is the odd-ball in that no vehicles are spawning. I can confirm that no vehicles are spawning in that over the course of a week, many of our 15 admins and 35+ players are have not come across any vehicles, other than crashed uh1y's. Before anyone starts stating that the vehicles are randomly spawned and that the HIVE decides at random intervals the vehicle spawn rates, I know this already. This is why I think there is a serious issue with either my server's connection to the HIVE or some sort of configuration of my server. Unfortunately my server company, ViLayer.com, sent me a cookie-cutter response and isn't really interested in assisting in the problem thus far. They also limit what files I can edit on the server (this is why I bought 2x dedicated server from HFBservers), and I can only get access to the time-management, server config and reset the suffix name of my virtual server. I've also noticed on my troublesome ViLayer server that tents do not save after I restart my server (I do restarts daily). My HFB Dedicated servers all spawn vehicles randomly and people can find vehicles on both server, and tents save! My ViLayer server does not spawn vehicles and does not save tents. Any thoughts or recommendations on how to solve my ViLayer.com server issues? I'm not really interesting in giving ViLayer the boot just yet, I want to try and solve this issue with the server. :@

Here's the video, thanks for watching

So today a "Out of bounds item/vehicles cleanup [2012-07-06]" was performed. Me and my friend noticed even LESS loot spawning today. Only tin cans. Everywhere. Only tin cans. It seems that empty tin cans are spawn more often and we find even less useable things then before (i.e. yesterday) Was it a silent hotfix to test out players reaction? update: So me and my friend are playing for 2h now and cant find ANY weapon. We play on almost empty servers looting cherno and electro. Only TIN CANS.
