Could not get a shot due to fast respawn but on Chicago 44 I was hanging out on the far north side of NW airfield (actually crawling due to 1 hit zombie bone break) and I could suddenly hear vehicles. They were appearing instantly then de-spawning within a second. The same day at stary a bus spawned in town next to the supermarket and a dud got out. As soon as he saw me both the bus and the player instantly dissappeared. Not sure if hack... Or paranormal events.

Here's how it works, We put many many vehicles with the same repairing system. Jerry cans you find will be all empty You cannot fill jerrycans through fuel tank. You need portable generator to pump fuel from the fuel station, which would make a lot of noise, thus zombie horde pours in(Like L4D) Defend yourself and escape when the fuel proccess is complete. -Pros- No more hoarders. More people have access to vehicles Exciting trigger event More realistic New resource that becomes much more valuable(group fights and raids become more often) -Cons- Could make performance sfraint to the servers. There could be too much working vehicles which could break the immersion

Since the DDOSing issues yesterday there have not been any vehicles on any server. All of the ones that people already had vanished and never respawned, and the previously destroyed ones did not repsawn either. So I was wondering if it is 100% every single server or if there are some left that still happen to have vehicles spawning. I do not enjoy playing a walking simulator and would much prefer to be able to find anything at all, even if it is missing every single part. So, does anyone feel like divulging the name of any such servers that may or may not exist?

It is 3:48 am 7/3/2012 Tonight me and some friends learned from side channel that a player had acquired a medic truck, at first I thought this was a van the player was calling a medic truck. We located them at the airfield west of churno, we watched from the tree line as some players ran around the truck and went about looting. Then a helicopter came in, we stayed back and moved on the ambulance. Once it was clear of the chopper I had thought Ed the admin didn't take sides, so we left him and the chopper alone. let alone the thing fired missiles so after running down Player (L) and hijacking the ambulance we were informed in side channel that Ed had spawned the ambulance and entrusted it to L so he could be a little medic. at this time we came under fire from ed's missiles and thanks to his poor aim made for the trees and spread out. we considered this fair and tried our best to make a run from him splitting up and going separate ways. after offering to return the medic truck if ed asked, as L informed me was his truck, We continued to try and regroup. the medic truck stopped some km away when we heard in chat the heli crashed, at this point we attempted to regroup. a few mins later ed shows up at the truck and guns down the driver. this is all in the pitch black of darkness btw, ed, the admin, gets in the medic truck and returns it to Player L. some comments ensued where one of my players who was banned, named street, stated "I wish i had a admin in my back pocket" to which ed replied "STFU". street answered back with an "FU" which I already knew where this was going and was then banned from crazyuncleeds server. I'm here to find out if this is allowed and how an admin can spawn tanks, medic trucks and heli's that spew missiles and claim not to take sides. And replies to us when told his admin abuse will not be tolerated "This is My server I don't Go by rockets Rules". the game logs from the admin side will show all this and the entire conversations. I ask for them to be presented and the ban repealed as we enjoyed the server and were told we could engage in combat with players. Server Address Crazy Uncle Ed's DayZ Server Peace Syrus

Hello. I just joined 4 or 5 servers i have tents on since the hive was restarted and servers have restarted. But none of the tents or vehicles are on the servers I joined ? Question: Has the database been reset or do server owners need to do something that they are not doing to get the tents / vehicles to appear ? Any form of response would be nice ... thank you BL1P

Found an ATV, had a TON of gear, started driving it. It went sideways, I said "Ok, im fine, it'll hopefully get back on all 4s" it SLOWLY rolled on top of me and I died. How is that realistic in any possible sense? Seriously. These characters are FAR too fragile.

i just got my server up and running, but how do i tell if vehicles are turn on or off? We have found chopper crashes but no vehicles, and i haven't come across anyone driving any as well.

Can zombies hurt you inside vehicles? is there a diffrens between open vehicles like dirt bike, atv and closed vechicles like car, jeep etc? can zombies damage the vehicle?

Just wondering, can vehicles be saved? If so does it stay with you or does it just stay on the servers map when your offline?

Date/Time: What happened: Tents/vehicles/packs eat items at times. The Coyote patrol pack has for example been eating a couple of rifles (I know that the starter pack is 8 spaces and rifles take 10). So if you put a rifle in a too small pack, it disappears. Tents and vehicles have also been eating a couple of my items now. GPS, NVG, M4A3 CCO(which btw shouldn't be firing semi/auto, should it? But semi/burst) and other things. Where you were: Different places. What you were doing: Trying to store my items. *Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 w. latest beta patch *Server(s) you were on: Eu110 *Your system specs: *Timeline of events before/after error: I try to put things into the vehicle/tent/pack and the items disappear. Sometimes the items are moved to the ground beneath/beside the vehicle or tent, but not always. This bug seems to occur only to important and rare items, sadly :(.

Well i know many of us are spending tons and tons of hours getting vehicles, getting em repaired, securing them, getting loot and saving them in tents. This is incredibly time consuming and yesterday under the DDOS attack i found out how much it sucks loosing this. 10 tents gone, car gone and motorbike gone. I know the game is in alpha, so maybe the game will get reset when it properly launches with 1.0 ? What you guys think ?

Hey guys, i just want to know, do vehicles spawn with gear inside them? Just found a bus and it had 4 guns, and a shitload of other items already in it.

Just like the backpacks...Please give us some indication of when our tents and vehicles are nearing capacity. Thanks!

Although there are a large amount stuff in DayZ already, but why not have more? Weapons: VSS Vintorez - This rifle is already in ARMA II, and it's a Russian-made firearm, which makes sense due to the fact that DayZ takes place in Chernarus. PKP Pecheneg - Another firearm in ARMA II and a Russian weapon, this should be more common than the other LMGs. SCAR-L STD EGLM TWS - From ARMA II: OA, this should be the rarest weapon in the game, compatible with M203 Grenades, Nightvision scope, and a muzzle suppressor, hiding the flash. (1/1000 chance of getting it) SCAR-H STD EGLM Spect - From ARMA II: OA, this is another rare-find weapon. Compatible with M203 Grenades and a Rifle Scope. SCAR-L STD HOLO - From ARMA II: OA, this is a bit more common than the other SCAR rifles, but still pretty rare. Includes a Holographic sight. Skorpion: From ARMA II: OA, this should be more common than the PDW, due to the fact it is of Russian origin. M110 NVG EP1 - Another rare-find weapon, only Sniper Rifle to have Nightvision. (Very Rare) XM8 Carbine - Again, a rare weapon, just decided to throw this in for the hell of it. RPG-7 - Next to the rarest drop, it has very rare ammo drops. (Plus, it's Russian-made.) Wieldable Hunting Knife - Because, why the hell not? Lead Pipe - Why the hell not? Chainsaw - Requires Fuel, and it emits a lot of noise, attracts zombies. Wooden Plank - Can be used as a weapon and to barricade doors. (Very weak and common) Baseball Bat/Cricket Bat - Why the hell not? Taser/Stun Gun - Tasers are short range and knock out targets, but more rare. Stun Guns require melee distance but are more common Tranquilizer Gun - Useless on Zombies, but they knock out players with 2-3 shots. (Makes it a bit more balanced) Cattle Prod - A Non-Lethal melee weapon, has a chance to kill. Models: (I'm not even sure if you can even do this, but using more models will help make other players distinct...) Link to the list of models: http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class151656165165341654165165165165f/A2/Units/Civilian_Women/ http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class151656165165341654165165165165f/A2/Units/Civilian_Men/ Items: Splints - Used to treat broken bones instead of Morphine Morphine v2 - Used to resist pain for some time. A bit more rare to find. Anti-Biotics v2 - Make it a bit more common. Stationary Turret Kits - Very rare to find these, find these kits to set up LMGs, used for defending buildings or camps. Can be saved and picked back up. Takes up a lot of inventory space. (Ex. http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class151656165165341654165165165165f/A2/Units/Civilian_Men/) More Soda Skins - Fanta, Canned Lemonade, Sparkling Water. Mountain Dew v2 - More Common Water Bottles - I mean those common ones, not the canteens. Like, Deer Park or Dasani. Water Canteen v2 - More rare, and Water Bottles can be transferred into an empty one. Also, canteens have 2 uses per filling. Energy Drinks - Allow you to sprint faster for a longer period of time, lasts 2 minutes. Rare. Ex. Monster Energy, Red Bull, etc. Wooden Plank (Part 2): Used for barricades. Requires a Claw Hammer and Nails Nails - Used to modify the Baseball bat/Cricket bat Hammer - New Tool item, used on Wooden Planks, removing and replacing. Keys - Used to lock doors, locked doors can be opened with a Crowbar. Radio - Used to communicate with the playerbase/group Laser Designator - Allows you to pinpoint targets for your group, useless for lone wolf players. Ammo Boxes - Entities that are VERY rare to find, contains 2 clips of various kinds of ammo. Up to 4 ammo variants. NPC: Wolf/Wolf Packs - Fend off these packs using flares to scare them off. (More common at night) Bears - Takes a lot of ammunition to take these down, bears can knock you out with a single hit, but they're rare to encounter. Fox - These aren't really hostile. Deer - These are hard to catch, once they hear you, they'll run for it. They stand still if a light is flashing in their eyes. More Zombie Variations - Female Zombies, Walking/Fast Walking Zombies, Fast Zombies are rare. Birds - Hunt birds for their meat. Vehicles: Make vehicles a bit more common, I mean, it's hard enough to acquire parts. M1 Abrams - The 2nd rarest Vehicle to find, ammo is required for these and are extremely limited. C-130J - The rarest vehicle to find, requires an ungodly amount of fuel and scrap metal to fix. (Only spawns on Airfields) An-2 (TakAir) - A Civilian plane, more common than the military planes, spawns in Airfields, requires a high amount of fuel and Scrap Metal. Mi-24D - Russian Attack Chopper, extremely rare spawn, only spawns in the Airfields. AH-6J - More common than the other Military Air Vehicles. Spawns in Airfields. HMMWV - Military Multi-Purpose Vehicle, hard to find. Only spawns in Military areas. (Two Variants, Desert Camo and Woodland Camo) F-35B - The 2nd Rarest Vehicle, the fastest Vehicle, only found at the Chernarus Internation Airfield (NW Airfield). (I would make this a bit more easier to read, but the fonts and all those other utilities are bugged.) I'm not forcing/raging/yelling at the DayZ developers to add these, they're mainly just simple suggestions. Please, no comments such as. "You're an idiot, this is way too unrealistic." "TOO OVERPOWERED U NUB!!!11" "Pizza."

I've made this suggestion a few times within other threads but I felt I should add it to its own. Much like heli crash sites I always thought abandoned grocery vehicles with tinned food and drink, ambulances with a few medical supplies, blood bags, morphine and the like and military supply vehicles with rare munitions for bizon and fal among other things, would be a nice addition. Very rare probability of these appearing just like the downed choppers randomly dotted around the map. Again like the choppers surrounded by zombies. I have to say I love the idea of stumbling across items this way. It adds a real element of excitement. We all know the feeling of finding a downed chopper. Its like being a kid on Christmas eve again.

I havent really thought of it until now but why are nearly all cars rusted wrecks what happened. If it was a nuclear apocalypse i could understand but a zombie apocalypse doesnt really make much sense. What do you think happened?

I think whenever someone tries to do the "save tent" or "save vehicle" outside the real map, the Hive should just not save it there. This would make people actually set their camps within the real map and not 2 klicks outside in a random spot that only clan members can find with provided coordinates.

Just what the Subject says are the Vehicle Spawns disabled? and y cant i pack up my tent after deploying it?

Hi, My friends and I were on the 'NZ7 hosted by ON3 Network' server at 6pm driving our car to find some medical supplies when we heard a chopper above. We had never seen one before and therefore were excited, the chopper pursued us. We drove as fast as we could before ditching the vehicle when the chopper got close. We drew our guns and proceeded down the hill on foot. Then a Police Car drove past us, instantly killing our legit vehicle. We shot the car, and the player who did not die. The Police Car repeatedly blew up as we approached but we were not harmed. I warned my friends that I had heard it might be a hacked vehicle - we did not enter it. However, when the same player instantly spawned a car with a mounted explosive launcher we knew things were bad. We were repeatedly rammed and chased. We had broken bones and have played with our characters for a while - we made the decision to jump into the vehicle with the explosive launcher and drove to Berinzino for medical supplies where we agreed to ditch the vehicle. By this time one of my friends had logged out to go somewhere, not thinking much of it. Down at Berizino the same player spawned a tank and came after us. We drove as fast as we could towards the Lumber Mill on the map where we saw two players in a white jeep. We pursued and however realised they were not the hacker we had just encountered. They stopped their car, and shot us all down. I have many screenshots of the hacked in vehicles. My name in game is InterKnight, my other friends are called Ventura and legendarylinc. Our characters were fully geared and we fear that our tents are going to be lost by the time we get there. I would ask kindly that you can ask the server admin to spawn us back in the game with our tents still alive. I have numerous screenshots - I have supplied a few in this appeal. If any further assistance is required please contact me. I have lost gear unfairly to the game before but I believe it is in everyones best interest if my friends and I are spawned back with our tent camp. I've never had that much gear before. Thank-you for your time. Edit: the uploaded pictures did not go in this message for some reason. I'm signing up to ImageShack and will post the links here shortly.

If this is in the wrong thread then I am sorry, I'm new here :P. Anyway I wanted to know how to tell which servers had vehicles working? Like if it says on the server desc. or if you just have to ask. Thanks :D

So i was playing on a day Z server today and i heared a helicopter above elektro. My initial reaction was wow decent effort to them, but then i realised as i walked out onto teh street that it was a blackhawk helicopter with 2 miniguns on the side.. i was yelling on direct channel for him to land and to my surprise he did.. Latley i have become a bandit because i have been killed alot.. so yes i shot him out but i was on ventrilo with mates i told em to get back on teh server ill pick them up, i also had to randoms following me and they hopped in, i took off and was learning to fly next minute i hear another helicopter so i view behind the chopper and realise there is a FRIKKEN APACHE GUNSHIP on my tail and it starts firing rockets at me i ended up crashing in the confusion.. then my friend tells me elektro was getting destroyed by an apache.. So i was wondering.. did the admin spawn custom vehicles is that possible? OR did they legitimatley get them because i didn't think they were even in day Z Also how would 1 spawn these vehicles in there server? If me and friends played on our on server and it was empty for fun. :D I filmed started filming just after i shot him out for proof.

Ehm... I've heard this talk about hacked vehicles, how do I tell if a vehicle is hacked? Also, are admins able to see where I stow away a vehicle? As I was told admins help their friends get vehicles -.- and I don't want mine stolen... if i do get one.

If you save your vehicle and change servers, can you take it with u?

As I was walking through a town, I noticed a ton of vehicles. All of them were unusable. This was really annoying, because you don't have a good way to tell a working car from a random prop. Since you die so much from zombies, snipers and broken bones, its pretty much hell to walk back to the city/town you were at. I think that more of these cars should be operational just so you can take a big chunk of the boredom factor out of this game. It would also be way more realistic, as it hasn't been over 5 years since the apocalypse (listen to the beans) and the zombies don't have molotovs and RPGs. Also, I think you should be able to scrap some broken cars for parts (scrap metal and glass) to repair working cars (though finding a broken car to salvage would be very rare). Also, I think more cars should be totally operational, as the engine and tires don't just disappear. My real point is, its REALLY boring to walk to electro or another city and we need more functional cars as the zombies don't eat off the tires and magically rust it to nothing.

Is it possible to remove parts from a vehicle?
