See my bug report thread on this issue here: http://dayzmod.com/f...ing-items-1715/ been happening for awhile. This last patch was suppose to fix the issue (supposedly over a million tents now and the database is having issues with that, I guess they didn't plan ahead for it) but that was SUPPOSE to be fixed come 1.7.2.4 but it hasn't been fixed and the bug is still randomly affecting tents. I've found this method out - it's lengthy but is a good way to make sure you don't lose anything you want to keep: Pitch a tent Put something useless in it bandage what be it save tent 2-3 times to be sure Wait for server restart If tent is empty on server restart try another item YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT LOSING save tent 2-3 times - BUT if tent is NOT empty after server restart try adding another item YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT LOSING and save 2-3 times, sometimes tents bug out and will only keep what was first saved in them. Follow steps below. Wait for server restart If tent keeps item(s) you're good to put things in and save now - other wise tent is bugged and will not work. Lengthy process, yes but the only way I've found to make sure a tent is "stable". I have been lucky with vehicle storage so far though and I am starting to rely on it more than I am tents but since vehicles are prime targets it's a risk.

Hey guys, I'm currently looking for 3-4 US West/East Players to form a nice group; preferably farming vehicles or just pvping and doing fun things together. Generally looking for active players that can pretty much be on to get things done together. Experience: I've been playing for 6-7 weeks; looking for medium/high experience players! Low experience is fine, but please know what you're doing! Skills 1. Great shooter; currently using M4A1 CCO SD + SVD Camo 2. Extremely controlled in combat; don't get nervous or panic 3. Know a lot of the good sniping spots, flanks, scouting areas 4. Can play many roles [Assault, Sniper, Scout, Flanker, Medic] Skype: Laeins

Then the people shooting at you are fucking terrible, I've used the editor, and it takes one shot from a sniper, 6 from an AKM and 2 from an enfield to down a chopper, run the math there, they obviously can't shoot. Also, why would you want to remove the chopper? If it takes away from the game for you, DON'T USE IT! Let someone else have it, hell, give it to me! I've never seen a single vehicle in this game, and I've been playing for over a month! Not a single hacker nor vehicle. If you prefer to use land vehicles, blow it up! Or give it away and stop bitching about it. Seriously, if you don't want it, get rid of it, or are you just keeping it like a hoarder? Having it but not using it.

Brezmans if you're interested i can tell you a camp location our group found weeks ago(could have been gone by now) We were going to raid it after it gets bigger but our groups got somehow seperated these days, so it's untouched yet. There were a few vehicles a traktor and 2 buses if i remember right. And not far from there a boat camp where all the boats are. Although when we checked recently the pbx was gone and some vehicles as well. But there's still loots there for ya guys. Oh btw, which of you is the one who put that 2 tent in the 004 line. somewhere like 004 046. I remember fighting a hardcore d/cer there.

Could be worse. We've never banned or kicked a single player off our server. We have had our camp raided and had to relocate many times. We've had our vehicles stolen many times, and not one server restart. Then a couple of noobs steal our vehicles, park them less than 1km from one of our camps, we steal them back. Then they go onto Reddit. Post our server and the location of our camp for 30,000 people to read. Claim that the admins are cheaters and used a vehicle hack to steal back the vehicles. They talk about non-existant admin abuse, and that everyone should raid them because they are cheaters. Our server has been overloaded with cheaters and reddit users "getting revenge" for the last 2 days. We haven't shut it down, banned, or kicked anyone, but very tempted. 3 teleport hacks in 1 hour is bloody ridiculous. All because of one little butthurt player who lost his vehicles after stealing them from someone else.

I don't understand when people complain about people having a few vehicles...My group has a few but there is about 10 of us so we need them for us all to get about! Are you opposed to that?

'Dickhat' timestamp='1343836335' post='528804' The survivor is just a dude who woke up on the shore and is trying to survive. It's never hinted you were a military in the past or a pilot. - Which this does not tell you ANY backstory so who are you to say I DONT have military traiing? The fact of the military scenario are because this is a previous warzone turned viral zombieland no? I have fixed choppers several times. If you read the thread you will see me saying my group has one, we had several already. It's not that hard to find the parts at all. You can fill it up very quickly of you have 5 people working on it - like clans usually do. - Fixed as in fully repaired to green? And are you on a server by yourself? Locating and keeping a chopper is one thing but when on a full 40/40 server makes it hard to keep track of your vehicles let alone your helicopter. Repairing it is not just 1 scrap metal, 1 rotor and 1 windscreen.... How have you had several within the beginning of a week launch of them? They aren't easy to shoot down at all. You need to shoot it several times to bring it down unless you shoot the pilot and kill him. - Then whoever has been shooting is a terrible shot. You have a tutorial to teach you how to fly one so it being hard to fly isn't really a point here. -Actually it is, because most people do not go practice on the tutorial editor etc, and when you have 5 people in your heli and you are being shot at from the ground and attempting to move out of the way it honestly is not that easy to avoid getting hit. ( I Guess if a toddler is shooting at you would be simple) There are 2 choppers per server. -Good to know. :) Repairing a car is not really hard. Almost every dude can do it. I agree that changing an engine is kinda ridiculous though and really hard. However they don't even come near the complexity of a helicopter. You aren't thirsty and starving all the time in DayZ. No I don't and I have made a suggestion on how weapons should degrade and require maintenance and how military gear should be nearly impossible to find. The opener is in your key chain, silly. :P Practice makes perfect? (Ie sniping, repair, bodyshop, farming, opening cans - Improvising?) I mean come on people. Do you think the first man to create an engine or repair one was taught by someone else? No. Every man can learn anything over time.

Tips for avoiding KoS... 1. Use a mic. 2. Always get first visual/audible contact and maintain the advantage of concealment and cover when making voice contact. 3. Play on low pop/3d-off servers. 4. Stay near the coast, but away from Cherno/Elektro/Berezino 5. Do not get fancy clothes. 6. Do not get fancy weapons, or hide them if you do. 7. Do not drive a vehicle. 8. Avoid people who have fancy clothes, fancy weapons, and vehicles. They have more reason to take no chances.

confirmed hackers last night were just off the podebo damn creating 8+ helicopters, a handful of escalades, and other miscellaneous vehicles, which they then proceeded to start blowing up? i did not go close enough to check their gear or anything. i got the hell of the server.

I dont think you would want a base in / near zed spawns - would just be a pain the @$$ all the time - unless there are some rules about "purging" an area tha you control. Which means setting the base up out in the wilderness somewhere - using existing PPO (player placed objects) for protection and / or canalizing. A water source would be a plus. Cover and or concealment would be a plus. But too much cover would make it easy to try and infiltrate and or approach the base. Too bad we cant use our axes to clear a firezone around the base - while leaving the trees right at the location. Road access would be a plus - to drive vehicles into the base. - although no necessary You wouldnt want their to be too much in the way of overwatch potential - so one would have to pick a hilltop or un-exposed hillside. One might assume that going all the way North or off to the Western side would be good to limit the amount of player traffic but i would contend that it would be better to be in the middle - thereby allowing players to move from the location to nearby loot spawn areas and to not make the trip, for new toons, too long. Did answer where exactly ? nope. but as its a hypothetical anyways .. meh...

Well if vehicle spawns were increased, the player count would also need to be increased IMO. Our group came across 6 vehicles in a server at the same time (We started with 2, they got stolen, we found 1, then found our original 2 plus 2 more and an ATV) It was impossible for our group to keep track of all them so naturally they were stolen, but my point is, there were at least 6 vehicles on that map which is more than enough for the 25 player cap of the server we were on.

If they're teleporting the whole server and have the possibility of having players with vehicles in them they need to make sure their positions aren't exactly the same, otherwise it might cause the server to implode.

im sure more vehicles will be added at a later date, theres alot to take into consideration....Server performance/handling, Lag, how many vehicles the engine could realisticly handle real time on 1 server at any one time? would be good to find out maybe...this maybe something for the standalone... maybe increase number of bicycles to start of and go from there, but this has been brought up before so we shall see :)

because of the following server hosts/admins lock their servers and take everything before it goes public vehicles can be stored well outside the map borders server hosts/admins can easily set a server to auto kick a player and repair a vehicle upon destruction(US 1340) vehicles take 7 full days to respawn but hey an admin can work around this issue

well most of the clans horde the vehicles so no one else can get them

I have I.D. #6059 and we have no vehicles yet either?

I say take the time to aim. If you panic and unload your AK in one burst you wont hit anything, seen it happen many times. I think that third person probably will be eliminated (I certainly hope so, people should not be able to see around corners or over walls), but as has been said you do not want to be shooting in third person. I do hope that they keep third person view for vehicles, like the ATV for example is really hard to drive because you cant see where your wheels are pointing.Or alternatively have some kind of indicator showing the bearing of the vehicle relative to your sight.

I have my own server (40 player slot) we lose so many players because our server gets hacked about (no joke) five to six times a day. Usually by teleporting players and then killing them. Heck, even our chopper got teleported and destroyed (it took us 12 hours to get the parts and working) and when we did, bam! Who wants a to play a game where you have to spend countless hours putting work into only to be stripped down by hackers. This game NEEDS its own engine and a better anti-cheat system than battleye. Shit, BE could EVEN implement a feature that auto-kicks when a player moves a certain distance in a certain allotted time. So many things that can be fixed easily yet they choose to ignore...it makes me even more sad when this is the game everyone has wanted for so long and the Arma engine and BE are ruining it!!!! EDIT :BE needs to implement a system where it tracks player movements. If it sees a player has moved between two points too quickly - it should boot you from the game (this saves people being teleported and the teleporters themselves). Obviously this wouldn't count with vehicles and helis and such. All BE needs to do is look at the server log files and determine logical movements. Minecraft can do it - why not an Anti-cheat syste?

Actually if you would even bother to read the rules you would see it's not an offense to have hacked equipment equipped, it's only an offense when you spawn it in, wich we didn't. Oh, and if you actually played on our server you would know that our camp got raided, and honestly except for the vehicles there wasn't much to find. Seeing as every time the server restarts we lose all our gear that we put in the truck (and yes we do save it, we're not retarted).

They dont work on self healing vehicles. I tried. It shows them blowing up but the vehicle heals.

Once your server has been hacked and multiple items are on your server 14 tents 4 vehicles and an array of guns some of which are not even loot able. The vehicles are self heal. How do I get rid of all these items? I am obviously going to have to pick up items that are going to get me flagged as an admin. we are getting killed out here as admins. Very little information to go off of in order to administer the server to a level that is acceptable. We have 0 to no script.txt help and most that are caught are false positives. The game is great but spending 4 hours trying to run over tents and hope the items disapper is sad. Sad that we have no idea how to keep the server fair and fun. Any suggestions on how to clean up a server once hacked weapons/self healing vehicles/tents with multiple items in them?

What's with servers with the same prefix for example US #00 Duplicating Items you can save such as vehicles and tents onto the other server with the US #00. Example if I go on one us #00 deploy a tent save the tent and go on the other server that tent is in the same spot I placed it with all the items i put in that tent on the other server any way to fix this or anyone else experiencing this ?

Just so you know.. There is a bug where after a server restart all static objects don't load in, such as wire fences, tents and vehicles... That could be the problem on your server... Fixes itself at next restart. If that's not the issue, you're welcome on my server, as is anyone else who sticks to the rules and doesn't abuse exploits is. :P

Sounds like you've been playing a good amount. Glad you stuck with it. Are you keeping a tent, or just stashing your stuff in the bus? (I assume you can keep gear in the vehicles but I don't remember because I don't look for vehicles)

I'm actually doing that I just gather supplies and search for vehicles but I hardly run into other survivors, so I'm getting kinda lonely
