Funny story, I once made a arma2 mission just to prank my Canadian friend. Built a huge American base on the border of north Chernarus (flags, vehicles, AI, tents, everything). The borders of the edge of the map had barbed wire, the Canadian side had nothing except a tractor, wheelbarrow, chickens, and his playable character (who was the civ rube looking farmer). The mission started with the song Canadian Idiot by weird AL, while all the US marines danced to it and two Apaches came in and targeted him. We did allow him to enter our side and lead the mission to find the maple syrup recipe in Stary Sobor, which was heavily defended. :P This was a long time ago and have learned much since then. Have fun learning map making. I'm sure there is plenty to learn right now, with A3 before anything is released if you would want. I'm not even a PvP type, but I still would like a map that had two large urban areas centralized in the map, with a mountainous area on one side and plains on the other. Have fun.

I would like to see a basic test map, with spawns for each and every item that is in the game. This map can serve as a testing ground for weapons and vehicles and other such functions. It should have a target range, an airstrip, a mountain, basically one or more of everything. If we can get a-hold of this kind of map in beta then bug testing becomes incredibly easy! Also players can learn to be effective through practice!

Will be fun trying to find all the parts to make vehicles however lets be serious for a minute. No way in fucking hell could you carry an entire engine miles to your location even in a back pack. Your back would go out on you. Hence why i think we should have some kind of craftable sled pull system for heavy objects like that. Make it an added bonus realism objective you have to do in order to get your car parts from point A to point B. Or hell even a wheel barrel would work.

I played for a couple hours on the same server with persistence on and managed to acquire a vehicle and two tents. The server had lost connection while I was driving and I came back to the server on my feet with no vehicle, my tents with all my gear gone without a trace. I obviously, just as much as anyone else, would not desire to play on such a server and I would like to find out why this happened so that I may find a server where all my progress isn't wiped every few hours.

Repairing vehicles is thing I'm waiting from day one.

Last ORDERS The bandits of Namalsk have themselves a brewery. Beer can be used to fashion medicines as well as quench thirst. The bandits will defend their territory vigorously so case the area, plan your move and keep aware or beware. There are also a few vehicles there for the taking...good luck. Stay ALIVE!

I think Niva didnt change much in all her production period. It had 2 or 3 engines and few minor exterion changes (headlights and front grill) Volga will be same version that we had in mod and we can find everywhere. I wonder how many parts will there be to colect, and which will be esencial to make vehicles drive. We can drive car without headlights and exhoust, but it has side efects.

It wouldn't have made sense in any context for there to be a release of just 3 vehicles, because we already have the V3S in the game and not only have they mentioned the three other cars (well, really, two and a bus) but also that we'll eventually be seeing aircraft as well. He was implying the next big update to the alpha :P

this is true, tho - he wasn't quoting Hicks directly and the article is indeed a bit of a mess. Does anyone have better sources? edit: in this short panel, Hicks says "coming soon [...] 3 new vehicles & new functionaily". Very different from what was written in wired. https://youtu.be/1rdRiGKoKyA?t=1m46s fucking media distorting the truth, it's an illuminati conspiracy!

Sounds to me like they're talking about Beta coming out later this year, which is what they were on track for anyway. 'Feature Complete' not Content Complete, meaning they expect to have all the systems in place, and they'll focus more on adding content (weapons, vehicles, items) and fixing bugs. I wouldn't trust anything that comes once or twice removed from the source, because someone can read, "Yes, we're planing on adding the MP40, K98, Luger, as well as mothballed Wehrmacht uniforms to the game..." and some headline somewhere will say 'GAME STUDIO BOHEMIA INTERACTIVE, CREATOR OF TORTURE SIMULATOR DAYZ, OPENLY SUPPORTS NEO-NAZISM!' EDIT Told you.

http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/17/full-version-dayz-this-year This article says "It will also launch with a trio of vehicles to use". So it's not "release of 3 vehicles", but "release WITH 3 vehicles". Quite a difference... it's essentially a confirmation that the release version won't be anywhere near complete.

Just so you guys all know, I now have confirmation that this isnt due to my own incompetence (I was actually worried about this myself) Vilayer just informed me that another customer on my node had faulty mods, creating error logs that filled their entire disk and therefore disabled my service and somehow emptied a bunch of my config files. It takes them 16 hours to tell me this. 24/7 support Also the problem isn't even fixed. The ticket response also says "your server is now working" when it very clearly isn't - some other config files must've been screwed because players spawn in debug with no gear... And this chaps, is why you don't use vilayer. I assume I'll be waiting another 1x hours for them to figure out that it's actually not working, eventually I'll prolly get something like last time "Yeah jnas, unfortunately, if you remember, you modified the database a little bit because the default cleanup routines we gave you for tents/vehicles/etc - yeah they don't actually work so you had to make your own - however now we won't give you any support because modifying the database is not something we support - so go figure it out yourself" "Wait, it was working perfectly right before your other customer managed to disable my service for 16 hours?" "Yea, it was, sorry bruh"

that report mentions the GAZ Volga, Lada Niva, and the Ikarus 260. personally I think the Niva looks like a good fit for what I do. anyways those seem to be the 3 upcoming vehicles but I am not sure on what the third one is that you felt was missing.

This status report mentions three new vehicles: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224323-status-report-22-apr-15

At e3 Hicks announced that they are going to release 3 new vehicles as well as new parts soon. Let us speculate on what they are. Attack Heli, A-C130, and SCUD launcher confirmed? Actually though, I think a bus Is coming.

Hey guys, I'm still awaiting even a reply from Vilayer's "24/7 support". After a ridiculous amount of hassle with these people to run the most basic, unmodded server possible - it is with a heavy heart that I'm going to be taking it down. I really don't like putting my name on a service with such poor support, and having problems that Vilayer assure me they can deal with, but never actually dealing with them, so I never have any answers for my players on when anything will get fixed. It took Vilayer literally four days and 25 ticket posts back and forth to even get the service turned on when I initially provisioned it (they quote one hour for this), dealing with support techs who ask me "why have you modified your database and messed up all the tables" when I hadn't even logged into the database, ever - it took literally 72 hours and 25 back and forths before they realised that I hadn't even touched the DB and their installers were completely screwed. They've said to me 2 weeks ago that the 1.8.6.1 patch is being "worked on" and I still have no update or ETA. They don't even let me know what is going on or where they are at in terms of this update. This is in addition to the majority of their default SQL cleanup routines being so old they don't work at all. Vehicle cleanup, tent cleanup, barbed wire etc - nope. Moving dead characters from the main character_data table - nope. Gotta do that yourself. One support tech flat out told me to steer well clear of the majority of their routines. Argh. Also - they advertise "TS Support" - in that you can log onto their TS server to get support - but the TS3 support server they advertise (for all games, not just DayZ mod) has been offline since January. Don't use Vilayer for dayzmod game servers. They are absolutely not managed or supported to anything even close to what they advertise. I've backed up the entire DB (this means characters, vehicles, bases etc) and am looking for a new provider, however pickings are slim in Australia. Any suggestions welcome! Keep an eye on this thread and with some luck I'll get it back up. Thanks for all the fish!! PS: Edited to make more civil. This whole Vilayer mess got me a little wound up :D

I think this is awesome. The whole interview was good information to hear. The steam workshop compatibility, and the new vehicles (with repairs needed) soon I'm really excited about. What about all of those players that just want to get the best tier loot and shoot zombies? Like Hicks said, what if someone doesn't have a good internet connection, or wants to roleplay that they are the last survivor on earth. Plus being able to test your own mods will be nice. I'm sure the single player would be tied into having your own server, but without other clients needing to connect to your box (as in LAN). Also, if they release SP before the game is fully released, we'll be able to test the builds on our own private hive to see what is new without having to worry about people scouring the map for new items as well. I doubt creating a single player will significantly reduce the amount of players in regular servers. In fact, if someone wanted to start by playing the single player, then move onto more PvP based interaction once they had more of an understanding of the game, you could argue that a SP would bring more players to the game.

I'm sorry my stream lagged at this point... I have no further info. I just heard that we will get three new vehicles to the SA soon :)

if loot, weapons, ammo, and vehicles spawned only once then yes we would be competing for the means to survive. Competition may kick in if you're pvp-ing with other players. Or fighting to get the loot in a particular location. But competition is not inherent in the game. Competition implies that there is an end and a victor. If you kill me, I respawn. You didn't win. There is no final score. If I'm a lone wolf, I am only concerned with staying alive and feeding myself. I'm not competing with anyone. There is no prize, honor or supremacy. You might end up with an inflated ego at the end of the day. But, nothing to show for it.

The crash sites are what we called dynamic events. They are currently been worked on, because with persistence it created a bug which didn't allow for loot to respawn at them, and their position was static too. It will be fixed eventually. Try to read the status report to know where we at development side: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/225439-status-report-27-may-15/ As for vehicles, this is also directly linked to persistence, which is stated in the above status report that it's been deactivated for the time being.

Persistence is off for everything but vehicles.

For me sewing kits are hard to find, I've seen them in the yellowish house that has the shelving in front room and the watermelon colored houses. As far as the scopes, I've seen them in various guard shack/barracks, like the one on the east end of elektro as you head toward kamishovo, over by the train tracks. Always see them on the steps along with high capacity vests, fnx 45 and cr 75, various magazines and other random guns. Also as the poster above me stated check crashed military vehicles. Still looking for a PSO 1 myself so I can't be of much help on that one

I thought about making mods for standalone once the support comes out. And the only thing I could think of was using existing systems to make the game better. I thought about how RUST and ARK showed their fruits, rocks and resources in the world. This lead me to an idea about using the dynamical system to spawn fruit on trees like apples, or berries on bushes, and even the trees themselfs, so every server could have apple trees on a different spot. Have these spawn directly on bushes or trees. And just like police cars, we could have something like truck crashes with containers that could be open and have a massive amount of one item inside, like notacola or something. And who says it should only be vehicles, why not have dynamically spawning police checkpoints or crashed cars, why do they have to be spawning in the same place every time. In my opinion this could expand to a whole lot more things once we get some new tech integrated. Lets say that in the future we get roaming zombies that can be customised, and a while back we still had confirmed animal companions. You could combine these to have a hunting party (as in hunters hunting game), turned zeds, with dogs as their helpers, that you stumble into in the woods. And, heck, why not even have uniqe items on some zeds and combine those with these events. Like have a dynamic even where 1 church could spawn a wedding and with that you get a wedding dress,champagne or a limo. Or have a chance of a house having a event in terms of a party, so a lot of alcohol or food. Heck you could even have a shed of a gun nut or something, which would be a random shed with a ton of guns and ammo, but just one, out of the 300 on the whole map. I know, but its the best picture I could find.

I found the coastal towns almost devoid of any useful items after the reset. I assumed it was just people clearing stuff out as they respawned. I have noticed a distinct lack of items even when moving inland, until you find that one building with everything in it. Generally police stations or those mini police stations with barred windows and a porch with all the gear you could want. Some houses, specifically the one with the stairway into the loft, always has loads of jackets. Dunno why this is but I've been finding better loot in 1)police stations 2) vehicles 3)barns.
