Nope. Sadly we did not decide to pitch the tent we had in one of the vehicles.

Considering the last several beta patches and DayZ patches have been almost specifically for fixing desync with vehicles, I am not surprised. I am also a victim of this. My clan and I lost two white pickup trucks, a motor bike, tractor,UAZ and URAL, along with two bikes. Some people might say "Someone could have taken those!" cept for our tents with two L85's and other priceless loot was untouched.

Pretty much the same here. I never bothered with Vehicles or getting "better" weapons, just don't see the point. Didn't play yesterday(first day not playing in over a month) and probably won't play again until some new content is added to the Mod. There just isn't anything interesting to do. I still love the atmosphere, but the Mod needs a lot more added to it before it can be released as a standalone.

Took 3 days for vehicles to spawn on my server when I got it up.

ive had nothing but issues with vehicles i was driving a uaz and as i was heading 30mph down a road it dissapears and i just teleport out of it in the spot i was sitting in with the car saved it many times and it never showed up at any of the save locations

IRL Information Name:(Seriously, why do people need it?) Ain-Joonas Age:18 Location:Estonia Timezone:GMT +2 Do you meet ALL the requirements? If not, which ones are you missing and why?: Yes, i do. Game Information IGN:Chernitski Steam ID (if applicable):TheDisain Desired group role (Medic, sniper, spotter, etc):Not sure, haven't gotten to try out any roles really. I like raiding buidings and killing zombies. Why you would like to join? What interested you about us? (min. 4 sentences): What got me interested was the radio and the idea of a survivor camp - something that distinguished the group from most of the commnities around, if you look at it from the angle that i see. Why i would like to join though is the basic idea of having a group of players to play with, because to be honest - it is a co-op mode game, doing it alone kind of wears you out. Also the simple fact that vehicles and other items are tucked away&hidden all the time everywhere, that loot is hoarded and the game, from a perspective, is made 'bad' by disabling any man to acquire anything interesting after 6 hours is just something that turns me to communities, groups. I hope to get to know more about the underlying mechanics of the game and have some more fun. What skills / perks can you offer to [GMS]?:I'm a roleplayer with an okay sense of setting scene. The GMS has many ways to be taken if we'd make it a RP group.. For the sake of general surviving, i have a good nose for loot and am good at reading maps and locating myself. I'm an okay shot..People've called me entertaining? A lot of random shit nobody cares, but that's all i can offer you.

Well, i noticed that vehicels disappear after a server-restart and appear again after the next restart. But i could also be possible that someone found jour camp and stole the vehicles.

We had a camp with two vehicles out in the middle of nowhere on the edge of the map. Within 12 hours we come back and they are gone. We saved them multiple times. I doubt anyone would have stolen them within that amount of time. The server is not on the latest patch yet and neither are we. Not many people join the server either. There are always less than 20 and usually less than 10. Is this common that vehicles disappear? Maybe ours did indeed get stolen but I doubt it.

Vipeax or Rocket could you please consider the following. Is there any way to disable the ( continue ) button on the briefing screen. The reason for this is that when a server restarts and players click on this it tends to load the server without any tents or vehicles. If you allow the briefing screen to just timeout naturally all items are loaded properly. If you could do this it would make automatic restarts less of a hazard and prevent admins from having to lock their servers after a restart. Thanks.

So, we started discussing if we should start a Medevac and/or Garage service since we tend to play tiny bit more friendly than most players. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medevac -would be on single server (atleast untill we can manage to get vehicles working on multiple servers). And would work something like this. -You call us for help. -We come to help and will get you to ride(Vehicles fuck yeah!) with us to safer zones if needed. There we will heal you to max with bandages, blood packs and whatever is needed. -Give you enough medical supplies/food and drink so you can manage -Wish you safe travels -Disappear ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Car garage -You call us for help with the vehicle you have just found or broken down -We will drive our maintenance "truck" to your location on our server and take the supplies needed to fix your vehicle with us to YOUR server -Fix and fill up the vehicle (Full gas tank and all that) -Wish you safe travels -Disappear ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bus service -Single server(atleast at the start) -We will be driving a BUS between Kamenka - Berezino - ??? -Possibly provide ride from anywhere to anywhere -Answer your calls for ride ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What we ask for this? -Nothing, but donations will not be turned down. -That you don't shoot us, we don't want to give our snipers the go ahead on putting a 50cal hole in your head. (And trust me, they see everything and don't miss.) WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? -Because we can -Because we are bored of simply sniping bandits with our superior gear -We want to make the world(Chernarus in this case) a better place for everyone -We want to help YOU But now we need your input if we should start these services and possibly MUCH MORE!!!!!

Today, we killed a group that disconnected and changed server and logged in to try to kill us. We were 3 people, me, Jonathan and Ahxzel. one DMR, one AS50 and one l85. We drove around in our Ural during the night and we saw some lights at Dubrovka, we drove and put our Ural in a hiding spot and started to sneak forward, we suddenly see 3-4 people. After a few seconds, Raion shoots a guy and he drops dead instantly, the rest of the group ran into a small house and sadly none of us was positoned and there was no way to get close. They all disconnected, about 5-10minutes later one of them reconnects and the zombies dissappear around him (sign of him logging in and the aggro'd zombies go away). and we keep on scouting, he starts throwing out flares to blind us and to gain vision for his friends. We look around and scout and suddenly there's a guy that logged in about 50-150 meters infront of me down a hill! he looks around and he sees me and exactly when he aims at me I shoot him and he's dead. 2 of them are down. We continue to scout around and suddenly, a guy logins about 10 meters infront of ahxzel, looking for us! they both logged in infront of us trying to login behind us and kill us. 3 guys are down and the last inside the small house, we tell Ranion to go and loot the bodies and throw a grenade at the small house. Ranion loots the body and go close enough for a genade, throw it and then he disconnects, we sit for about 5-10mins and we're leaving. Drive around ofr maybe 5mins and I look to the left and I drive into a block in the middle of a road, we jump out and runs because we've had experience with this and had 2 vehicles blown up already. about 5 meters away everything starts to blow up, our poor URAL, about 3 times, explosions loud and big as a nuke... oh well.

I really don't know if it is possible with ARMA2 and DayZ mod that my proposal can become true... but here it is: Give us a world, in which killing the Zombies makes sense. Give us a world we can free together from the Zombies, in which we definitely can win (what we obviously can not atm). In this world, the server should of course be tagged as a "winning_possible" server (in the server list to distinguish them from the other DayZ servers which still do DayZ as we know and love it). The server has a Zombie- Counter, lets say 50.000 Zombies in total at the beginning. The spawning of the Z can be done as usual (if a player comes close to a spawn point they spawn). But anytime, a Z is slayed, the counter decreases by one. Players of course could still do PVP, but I guess that if the target (get rid of Zeds) is clearly defined and if it can be done... there will form serious PVE Groups, perhaps helping on first sight... instead of shooting on first sight. Players will be visible in a ranking, where everybody can see how much Zeds one killed over the running game. Also Bandits should be flagged and (in my opinion) should wear bandit clothing (when having killed a single Player). If a player dies... he is out. He should not be allowed to join the server again for one day or may not be allowed to join at all. If a server once had 100 new players (just to throw in a number), he can not join new players to the game (so the zeds still have chance to win). Downside to this is, that a server may run with vew players in the end (in this case simply the number of max. allowed players to spawn for one WIN-Game has to be increased (e.g. 150 Players). If the players can not finish off all Zombies, they lose. If no player is logged in anymore, Zeds win (game will be restarted from new). If players manage to wipe them out... they win. A player should always return to the server he played once before. If he does not log in for a few days, he is considered dead and player count reduces by one. This player can not log in to this game on this server again. The weapons and especially amo should be quite rare on these servers and I am not sure about vehicles. Perhaps no vehicles are better for this case. Sure, there are some options where one could do a tweak, it is simply a suggestion to have you guys discussing about. I also think that it would be possible to have such an environment based on the current mod and I think the modifications necessary could be done with medium effort. I am curious for your answers...

It's not "useless" per se, I've definitely ran into a couple vehicles at spawn points; the hard part is actually repairing it and getting it AWAY from the spawn, which I've never actually managed to do. All the vehicles I've used were stolen from some one else's camp. (let those big clans do the heavy lifting, it'd take me 9 hours to fix up a vehicle by myself) Pro-tip though, you can still use a vehicle even if the engine indicator is red (not sure about hull, or wheel indicators though, and I believe damaged fueltank will make the vehicle leak fuel, not positive), so if all the vehicle needs is engine parts, just go hide it somewhere first before looking for engine parts.

This thread http://dayzmod.com/f...ehicles-repair/ contains all vehicles, and there inventory spaces. The UAZ has 50/10/7, which is 50 magazine slots (this is stuff like tires), 10 weapons, 7 backpacks.

24) what items are required to build a jeep/Bike/helicopter? Fuel Tank parts are required to repair a vehicles fuel tank, scrap metal to repair the hull, tires to repair the wheels, engine parts to repair the engine, and for helicopters only you need a main rotor assembly. The number vary from vehicle to vehicle, to check the condition enter the vehicle and check the top left GUI. Bars that are red mean parts that need to be replaced. These can all be found at medium and high value Industrial targets, of which there are large easily accessible clusters in both Cherno and Electro. You will also need jerry cans full of fuel to actually operate your vehicle. These function similarly to canteens but are filled at gas stations and tanker trailers. Once a vehicle is repaired it's wise to keep spare parts in the in vehicle container, to allow for emergency field repairs. 25)Can you hit with your barehands? No. 26)Can I start a fire with a Flare? No. Flares are useful for signaling and light generation, but they do not ignite flammable objects (likely due to engine limitations). 27)where can I get fire? Procure matches and a hatchet from a residential, industrial or farm target, both are relatively common. Proceed to a forest, approach a tree, right click the hatchet's context menu and click harvest wood. Then right click matches and select build campfire. Next aim at the campfire and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to select light fire from the campfire's context menu. You can also use campfires for storage, though you will lose anything in them should you light them. 28)can I shoot a jimmy can and create an explosion? No, also likely due to engine limitations. 29) can you swim?Can Zombies Swim? Yes to both, but zombies suffer pathfinding issues in water, so for new players it's a sound escape strategy to go for a swim. This can however lead to infection as your body temp drops, and with larger packs can lead to the loss of inventory in pack. 30) how do you change between chats? Voice and Typing. Caps lock to speak, / / ? key to use text. You don't need to switch between the two as they're keyed separately.

Looks like the private db server I played on has shut down so I am now forced to go to the public servers and I dont enjoy playing solo half as much. Play most nights from arould 10pm to 2am+ looking for some people to group up with 4-6 would be ideal, have repaired many vehicles in the past and would like to do that again so if anyone else has those motives it would be ideal. Currently fresh spawn so have nothing worth you killing me for, would be happy to team up with others in the same situation on any UK/GB server.

I posted about this yesterday as I had the same problem. I was told that vehicles are usually all hoarded right away and stored in campsites. So looking at spawnpoints is useless, you're better off searching the woods

Rocket, can we expect instance ids over 6000 to be getting vehicles enabled on their servers with this update? It's kind if disappointing not being able to have any vehicles. This is a Vilayer hosted server. Everything else has been flawless so far.

I bought my server 2 days ago my clan ran vehicles like within the first hour of playing on it

Hey guys. I know there's so many servers to choose from, but I figured I'd throw mine in the pot. This server is located in florida (I originally planned for NY but there were no boxes available(even though vilayer advertised they had them) so instead of waiting 4 days or so, they were kind enough to offer me an instance ID right away under the stipulation that it would be a jacksonville server. I live in NY and I ping around 45-60 and the server has been extremely stable. No getting stuck at waiting for host. No hanging at "loading". It loads up VERY quick, and there's not much server side desync, if any. If there's desync it's HIVE related, and we all know hive is having some problems right now. The server is running 95248 beta as well as the vilayer 95312 arma patch that apparently fixes a bunch of gamespy related issues and helps improve overall performance. FPS has been great, but we'd love to get more players, although it's hard to attract a lot of players when there's only 4-5 clan members on the server at any time. So come one, come all. I am always maintaining the server, and doing my best to keep the hacking to an absolute minimum. I've already banned two hackers today for catching their scripts in my log (Teleporting). within 2 minutes of it happening. Btw, you will not need to update to anything special to join. If you use six launcher, just update to whatever is the latest, and you'll be able to join our server just fine.When 1.7.2.4 comes out, it will be automatically updated as well. Hope to see you all soon. Myself, Creepymoto, and Vision all have admin panel access. No hacking. No ALT F4ing. No racism. Anything else is fair game, and If you don't like bandits, or player killing, this may not be the server for you. If you need a place to call home, come over to US1313. :) Just to let you all know in advance though. Since we were assigned an instance id that is greater than 6000, there are no vehicle spawns on the server. It sucks I know, but hopefully the DayZ team will quickly to restore vehicles to these instance ids. I believe vilayer said we should expect them in the next few days. Helicopter crash sites are working properly however. Hope to see you there.. KField Edit: Fully updated to 1.7.2.4 / Beta 95389 and a full server :) Edit 2: Vehicles working. We haven't found a helicopter yet, although that's not to say someone else on the server hasn't and has it hidden well.

U want vehicles? People horde them to the north my friend. But care, for what lies beyond the gate... who knows.

me and my friends are playing on your server too. Good connection and fps even though were from germany :) Its still a bit empty but its ok. Now i just need to find out where this NCR Clan, or what theyre called, hoarded all the vehicles. I think they have plenty of em

Oh and BTW... there are more than 20 camps with various vehicles and tents that I know of on our server. We play every day and we, as a clan work together... We also run in packs of more than 2 players... so if you kill 1 or 2 of us... there are usually 2 or 3 more close by to go and take the gear.. and hide the bodies so that you can't take the gear... Learn how to play as a team with more than 1 other person... learn to be tactically sound as a team and you might understand why some of the things that you call strange or unexplainable occur. Please feel free to stop into our Teamspeak and speak to me personally tonight around 9 pm CST TS3 INFO:chi.eoreality.net:10000 I will be more than happy to educate you about how "Integrity and Honesty" are paramount to our clan.

Is there a way to hard reset my server? This would mean all tents and vehicles are deleted and would essentially be a fresh server launch?

is that true? do vehicles respawn after restarts or updates?
