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.

Date/Time: 11am What happened: Logged in to find all the stuff had vanished even though it wasn't in debug area, it was about 100m from the border. Where you were: On a hill What you were doing: Logging in *Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 *Server(s) you were on: UK115 *Your system specs: i5 2500, GTX 460, 8GB Ram *Timeline of events before/after error: Go back to base last night about 9.30pm, quit, login today around 11am

HeLLo, I was thinking of a idea to being able to use those wrecks like those burnt out rides that you see in the towns I was hoping if it was possible to be able to repair those like if a player walks up one and clicks on repair vehicle they can repair it but the wreck should spawn in with a new wreck which they can finish up repairing with the rest of the car parts. Add in some more weapons if possible maybe a ACOG scope weapon at-least. Think most of the other guns you have seem pretty good and ain't none of them to powerful its just the right balance of power. I also have a idea for helping you guys detecting hackers. Maybe add in some sort of script that can run on a timer of some sort to keep checking the server for new vehicles that wasn't put in the mission itself and check for the closest player to that vehicle and log that down I wouldn't ban them as it could be a hacker that spawned a vehicle next to them and use it against innocent bystanders. Hopefully battleye improves their program to detect scripts being loaded that isn't part of the game. You could do the same for weapons and other items that wasn't added in the game as well but probably adding that will affect server performance as well. I know ArmA 2 doesn't give a whole lot of wiggle room to add in a-lot of stuff it would be tight to have a-lot of zombies like hoards of zombies lol chasing after you and doesn't affect the server's FPS and stuff.

Server = US 241 Time = 10:15pm gmt-6 Happenings = all people in vehicles died, within a few minutes and after their respawn all players turned into rabbits. [attachment=1926]

Vehicles that remain unused for a short period of time ( Also a quick 24h notice. If you have tents hidden outside of map in the green acres- be sure to pickup your gear now as those tents will now be swept away by the strong winds of those wide plains. (NON RP reason: no you shouldnt be building bases hidden outside of map boundaries, tents and items outside of map boundary will now be removed on regular basis.)

I just set up my server, and I have not seen one vehicle yet. I have checked all spots I know of. Is there somethings I need to do to enable them to spawn?

i host seattle 34 and about a week ago now, we had a camp set up with 6 vehicles. 2 cars, a ural, a motorcycle(my baby), a military offroad and an atv we had just found. i think it had been saturday or sunday, we had been in talks of moving our camp to be less conspicuous and had successfully moved four of them to two of the new camps(we were keeping them separated so less chance of people finding them and what not). this was just after the hive was getting hit hard by the possible ddos attack. the next day i restarted the server as usual in the morning to get the time synched up and clear out corpses and what not. two of the guys who had been at one of the new camps found that all of the vehicles that were there were gone. i logged in at the old camp to see if they had reverted which they hadn't. we ran the driving routes to check there because during the ddos attacks we had been traveling by vehicles and when we came back everytime, they were 2-300m away where the servers had last saved their positions. there wasn't anything. we checked all the major spawns that afternoon where they always had been previously with nothing. not a single car had been spawned anywhere. a few days later is when we find out there was an aussie kid who had been scripting on our server(we had played with him like 2 weeks before, decided we didnt really like him and hadn't heard from him since really, also time zones never really ran into him otherwise). so we set up a sting op and he comes rolling in on an invisible car, what he said was a hilux. he was floating above the ground in a seated position so we can only assume he was telling the truth, but he said he had been doing it for a few days now. the timing works out, is there any possibility of his scripting causing issues with vehicle spawns? he has obviously been banned and we submitted the cheat report that day after we killed him and banned him from the server. if its not him could it be something else? i found a uaz like 2 days ago and we have seen boats, but no bicycles and we havent even heard another vehicle or seen one spawn in the days since. the sheer fact that our vehicles had been spread out over a few kilometers makes me feel like they couldnt have been stolen and no one inside our group would have betrayed us, were all friends irl. so my question is, has anyone else had an issue with vehicle spawns? or this same issue and is there any fix?

Has anyone else experienced this happen to them, we had a uaz filled with a bunch of stuff when we last saved uaz. Come back to the uaz and find out all the items are missing. Now I know what your thinking maybe someone looted it, but its not possible there's nothing around where we camped and all the stuff in the tent is still in it. So whats going on did the vehicle get hungry and decided to munch stuff down its blow hole?

After restarting the server all the previously stored vehicles and tents have disappeared from my server. There isn't even vehicles in the default locations. Could someone explain to me why this happened?

Somebody told me that the gear in Tents and vehicles will get reset when server reset happens. Is that true or false?

I just found a tractor :) and drove it into the woods to hide it. I clicked "Save Tractor", there was no indication that I did save it but I assuming that saving vehicles is working. Are vehicles saving correctly or is it bugged? Thanks,

So after the tent wipe I thought I read vehicles were going to be reset. So I set off on my motorbike driving all over the map to see if I can find all the vehicles. None in their spawn. None nowhere on the map. This being said. I know the rest of them are somewhere off the map. I was expecting to have the motorbike reset, it didnt. So I can assume there was not reset and that now everyone must wait 7 days until the hoarders bring them back onto the map or not use them. Nothing against groups or clans hoarding anything, its their work and effort, but 7 days and off the map? Seems a bit extreme. Do they even need to drive them or do they just need to log on and access them? Should I spend all day driving off the map looking? I don't even really want another vehicle, but I sure would like to see one.

HeLLo, Have a idea/suggestion for day z team. I know there isn't a whole lot of cars and most of the servers are getting filled up with players and only having like 10 or less vehicles/wrecks around the map isn't quite a enough for everybody. If its possible I believe that each town on the map should have at-least 1 or 2 cars and up to 3 in the bigger cities such as Cherno and Elektro. For the second idea there should be a way to add your friends on the game so when they log in you can see them on your map because it is easy to get lost on that map when you accidentally veer off course from your friend's and be searching for hours trying to find him again but you pretty much go further away from each other. For the third idea zombies should not be able to just waltz through the closed doors or even through walls of buildings the buildings should offer a safe haven for players to camp out at and not have to worry about zombies just walking through the wall or even through the door its sort of a weird bug or glitch for the zombies being able to walk through doors,walls, and even climb ladders(climbing ladders is so unrealistic for zombies from the character they developed over the movies and games they been popular in). For the fourth idea please add the helicopter back in and figure out a way to block out the radar on the map to avoid the helicopter being over powered and being able to scan the map for other player camp sites. Maybe add a black circle of your own in the script to cover over the radar. I know there is another radar above to as well might have to add in a black rectangular box to cover that one and not cover up the compass above. For the fifth idea add in more vehicle types such as some UAV machine guns, some more vehicles with weapons on them and they can be re-armed by bullets you find on the game. If you add in more vehicles add in some more zombies surrounding the vehicles more to make it a challenge to get to the vehicle. Also zombies should be able to do damage to the vehicles but such as exposed vehicles such as an ATV the zombies should be able to hurt the player on those vehicles as their body is exposed to the outside world. For the last idea of them all please add in more inventory items that you can find throughout the map such as bigger tents which require a car to pick them up. More weapons or ability to equip weapons to un-arm vehicles and be able to fire them as either a driver or a passenger. Also weapons should be upgrade-able like for instance you have a M4A1 and the more zombies you killed you get upgraded to a M4A1 CCO after a while like sort of have a reward system. I really do get the idea that you want go full blown realistic on this game but at-least add in a little more fun killing zombies and killing bandits. If you read my ideas I want to thank you for taking your time reading through my ideas they are good ideas but is it right for your day z mission just something you have to think about over time. Probably depends on the direction your going with it.

Date/Time: Past three days What happened: Vehicles are taking damage to various parts even though they aren't being used. Also when we replace various parts on occasion it doesn't even register that they have been repaired whatsoever. Where you were: Wilderness What you were doing: Getting in/out of vehicles *Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 *Server(s) you were on: US 138 *Your system specs: i7 Quad Core, 2.8GHz, 12GB Ram *Timeline of events before/after error: Got in, saw damage, got irritated, went to get more parts, repaired. Next day damage was back in spite of vehicle not being used. Went to go get more parts, returned, attempted to repair vehicle, parts consumed but repair not effected.

can admin cheating? I found a UAZ on that server after 20 mins then server crash, next time I got a ATV then I hide it and save, just go for an hour,when I log back its gone. hope you understand , sorry for my eng.

Me and some buddies jacked a V3S from some guys the other day, And when we checked the inventory we found 2 PP-19, 2M249, 2 M107, 2M4's, 2 NVG's, an some other guns. I am wondering if any vehicle spawn with any of these supplies inside them by default?.. Or did we ruin some people's days?

I am somewhat new to DayZ and i am wondering that if i were to save a vehicle or helicopter using the "Save" function (i believe it saves it for 3 days) and i join back in on a different server that i saved it on, will it carry over or do i have to join back on the same server that i saved the helicopter / vehicle on? (if nobody were to steal it). EDIT: Am i correct that the vehicles / tents only save for 3 days or is it longer / shorter?

Not sure if this is the right place, but ill just throw this up here. Vehicles, tents, and Bikes are unspawned. Please tell me you did not reset the server, and that it is only a small fix, or I will have lost so many things : /. Thanks, awesome server other than that!

Just fixed up my first military offroad, well actually I sat there for 3 hours watched a guy put every part on except a tire then I killed him and drove off but that's beside the point lol. So anyways it shows that every part is green and fixed but when I hold my tire up to it, theres another 4 tires to be fixed it seems to drive fine and everything. won't let me upload an image here so this is the link http://s886.photobucket.com/albums/ac62/Aitloian/?action=view&current=arma2oa2012-07-0418-22-31-50.jpg

So, I have been trying to find some sort of a vehicle lately so I could scout for chopper sites easier, but haven't had a lot of success finding one. Anyone got tips how to find a vehicle to repair? From what I know they are all stashed in the wilderness by bandits, and if so, how can I find these bandit camps (got any locations or methods to find them?)

So yeah I managed to rob a GAZ off a group of people and stash it in a place that no one should of found like in a really obscure place up north, anyways they also have an ATV and a Bicycle so I came in an hour ago and it was gone with the same Bicycle next to it...how on gods earth can these people possibly have it. Also my friend shot one of them a few days back with a full clip of ak bullets and they didnt die and turned round then sniped my friend. Does saving vehicles track it or not cause this is ridiculous...

Hi, We have a new server and i already searched with a few mates for hours on this server to find any vehicles but sadly we couldn't find anything on the known spots: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles Is this normal behaviour? I have to mention we started the server yesterday evening for the first time when there was database maintenance and ddos attacks. Regards, Joris

That's right, I'm suggesting armour plating for vehicles. They should be in the form of 3 scrap metal that become one armour piece with use of a toolbox and can attach to vehicles but risk the aesthetics of the vehicle. Also decrease spawn rate of scrap metal a bit to compensate. Maybe increase the amount of metal needed and amounts of armour like 3 is low protection 5 is medium and high is 10. Scavenge vehicle parts with a toolbox and a 30% chance that you won't be able to scavenge it. I will extend upon this when I think about it a bit more maybe you guys can. Breaking down a weapon to make it run more effeciently with a toolbox and maybe some other tools to add later on to help with this. You could use scrap metal to make it run more effeciently or mod it and make it capable to use a wider range of ammunition and add attachments that you find in construction sites or military bases. Weapon wearing can occur over long period of use and you have to clean it also the weather can affect it too. (DRAFT) Attach weapons to vehicles?

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if anyone else has the problem of their vehicles and tents dissapearing ( respawning ) I'm getting pretty annoyed with it because it has happened to me and my friends twice now, we've lost alot of good weapons such as DMR's and M107's I was asking to know if it was just us or it is a bug with the mod as of now?
