The server US 927 crashed/restarted and when it came back up my bike and van were gone. I read on the wiki that vehicles sometimes dissapear during a restart/crash and they come back if you restart it again. I saved them and everything so I think that is the problem. So if an admin of that server reads this please restart it again. Thanks

The save feature on vehicles is the same as tents, meaning the save option is for the gear inside the vehicle. Each vehicle has a storage space, weapon slots, item slots etc. From 0 slots (Boats) to well over 100 (URAL) The vehicles location is saved each time everyone exits the vehicle, though on one occasion a motorbike was saved after only i got off.

Hello, I've been an avid DayZ host for over six months now. I've learned a lot over that time and decided to focus my attention on a private hive server. Welcome to Random DayZ in Taviana 2.0. We're utilizing the latest *** detection applications and have an hourly backup. Website: http://randomdayz.com Random DayZ in Chernarus (Eastern Time and Server Location: Chicago) IP: 173.208.87.10:2342 Reboot Schedule: Every 12 hours This is a fresh server that spawns ~70 vehicles. Good luck! Hope to see you there. We have active / responsible admin and hourly database backups that will only be restore in the event that a hacker ruins your day.

Hey guys... if I've got several vehicles and I die... do I have to save them just like tents, or will they be ok for the seven days or whatever? Just not sure how that works, and appreciate any insight you guys can provide. Thanks.

Ignore "Aras", he's just a stupid troll. On topic - welcome to DayZ! The beauty of this game is the lack of set "end-game". You can pretty much do what you want - and let me present you with some of those options. Once you have some decent gear I'd make a camp site to store any excess ammo/weapons/food/meds in them in case you run low on your person - a campsite which needs maintaining is also a good way to motivate your clan to raid cities such as Berezino for supplies. Whilst you do that I'd advice you still raid the NWAF since you obviously need some items from it - raiding NWAF in a group is quite a thrill (one of the best things in DayZ in my honest opinion) After you've gotten that, you should start going after vehicles - be it fixing your own or stealing from others. Who knows you might piss off the server admin and have to wage war with them for the rest of eternity! Anyhow, possibilities are finite but plentiful - have fun!

This aint no A-Team jibberjabber, foo' But anyway right now arma 2 has a set HP for vehicles, to change it (or add armour) would mean editing/creating new models.

Every day I'll come across a hacker, whether it be teleporting, ESP, spawned vehicles or the entire server being nuked.

I have no idea where you guys get the idea that we're an enormous army with a huge camp with infinite vehicles however. It was all me and our 'camp' consisted of 1 vehicle. We happened to see you and I decided to engage, alone (NW airfield, most hostile zone in the game no need to explain). After I killed both of you, however, I kept getting spamkicked, unable to move, and then when you finally let me back in one of your mates had made his way to my position and shot me in the back while logging in. THAT was the reason why I, alone, all by myself, came back to kill all of you, just ONCE, and if that isn't a legit reason I don't know what is. Anyway, just leave this thread for what it is. I've had some words with the admin and there's no need for further discussion.

Hey guys, I really enjoy this game, especially the part about the game being realistic. But first of all, I want to tell you the reason for making this post: After two days of collecting car parts (especially the engine parts.. jeez that took some time), my group finished repairing the bus. We were really happy about this and started driving around the map (we avoided towns, since we didn't want to raise attention). Two hours passed and we decided to pick up a friend in Elektro and then it happened: We heard two or three shots and the bus went up in flames, killing us in the process. This was our first vehicle at all, and had we known that they are destroyed so easily, we never would have went to town in that sweet ride. So I searched Youtube for some vids about this and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWOcbHRl-BI In my opinion, this is beyond ridiculous. This a game based on realism(well expect the zombies of course) especially things like the possibilty of breaking your bones when you fall down a ladder or a roof, or being killed with one shot, bulletdrop etc etc. But destroying vehicles so easily should be changed. Maybe it would be possible to add an armor system. You repair the vehicle with one pile of scrap metal, and then you can add another 3-5 piles of metal for extra armor(just an example). Or that vehicles in general get more hitpoints or something like that I would really appreciate some feedback. Thank you very much for your attention fellow survivors, have a nice day/evening hunting/surviving. firef0kz

yep you don't get murders/zombies killed whilst ramming shit in vehicles. too bad for your crazy GTA fans

Me and my m8 were driving around in a truck the other day and we came belting out of a wood and some dude was in the field below. Rather than let him get the jump on us and shoot us i drove at him and ran him down and killed him But I didnt get a murder for it !!! WTF Best roadkill Ive done and no murder ... Ah well always another day .. :P ps: @ rocket can you add kills from vehicles plz lol

Hey there. So I've been playing on US server for about 20 days, me and my squad found and repaired 9 vehicles, we had loads of loot with majority of weapons. Today i went into the server and put all my stuff in a tent, but after 5 mins the server restarted, as well as all the vehicles and tents, everything is gone, i understand than you shouldn't be attached to your loot, but come on, that's just stupid, so much time wasted, can servers even do that?

I saw gooby plz on NZ6 while being teleported on and seeing vehicles spawned on the balota airstrip.

server corrupt admins do the most damage in the long run. This game is basically an MMO with >100 players per instance, It has to be treated like one. That means server admins have to stop fucking with the code, locking servers into day/night and run the game equally across all servers, they can't kick players for no reason, they can't make it private, they can't run around scoop up all the vehicles and then make the server public, and they can't start clans on there own servers. hosting a hive server is a privilege, and a service to the dayz community. Treat that responsibility with respect.

This is confirmed now by a total of three groups on US53 that vehicles and tents disappeared! I've restarted the server, and now everything is back. How very strange... but I guess we all got lucky.

To sum up. Couple of noob idiots decided to play GOD and rented a server. There they abused the shit out of it, playing like on a pony rainbow island kicking everyone who killed those noobs looting the airfields and hoarding vehicles.. Then their cheating got disclosed so they decided to not rent a server anymore. Bunch of Idiotic noobs.

My friends scavenged Chernarus for vehicles at night when I was asleep. See what they found there :) sincerely, Reis

I had this happen on my server but the hackers killed all the players in vehicles first then turned all of those players into rabbits and than nuked the server.

Accedentally lost the big post I wrote about this and I can't be effed writing it all up again in detail, so here's a brief version... ill try and be concise. Also posting links to relevant image, video, and another forum post I made about this on AusArma. Server: ANZ 3 Time: What I saw began at approx 9:30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. (don't quote me on this but i think that might be UTC+10) I finally logged off at about 1:30am while the hackers continued on. Events listed below in points:(very rough, check the link below for my AusArma post for more info I wrote over there) find crashed UH-1H, big fireball thing near Vysota (i thought helicopters were disabled due to desync danger...) check it out, see a fixed UH-1H spawn in front of my own eyes 3 players get in and it takes off i remain hidden, but it somehow sees me anyway and kills me with the mounted M240 Respawn and get some gear from my tent, see a crashed Uh-1H fireball thing in Elektro UAZ drives out of Elektro and comes straight at me from hundreds of meters away, bullshit! they kill me. meanwhile my 2 friends are making their way to me Respawn ar Prigorodky right near my friends, when the UAZ and 3 hackers drive straight for them. firefight happens, my friends dead. UAZ then somehow fucking sees me and comes right down the hill at me. BULLSHIT they saw me. I am 100% sure they're using Wall Hacks/Constant Thermal Vision/Player-Finder hacks... they get out, I run up and get in the UAZ, sadly not the drivers seat so they kill me. Next life we (myself and 1 friend) are looting elektro and we see the UAZ comign for us, by this point, we know theyre hacking and can see exactly where we are and where be go, so we haul up in a corner bulding and hold off the doorway. UAZ stops, 1 guy comes for us, and my friend kills him the same time the cheater killed my friend. UAZ drives away, I check the body and his name is "gooby pls" right,... we know 1 of them. another respawn, i find my friend and I get an AKM and he gets a M1911. We hear an M107 .50cal sniper shooting up the hill near us at Elektro. move towards the sound of the shots, together but the server desyncs and we both get lost. the server resyncs and then we both get killed shortly after. it was the same 3 hacker bandits we know it, briefly saw them before dying. certain the M107 rifle was likely to be spawned in. also note that these hackers were facing elektro trying ot snipe people down the hill, they should not have found us as we were higher than them and moving very sneakily in trees. Their hacks let them know of our prescense and they saw us and killed us when the server resynced. we have not chance against these bastards. that was it and we'd had enough so we logged out for the day, at about 1:30am. dissapointing day to say the least. OK, so please understand that I'm not good at articulating words or telling stories, but I hope you read all my dot points. Everything I say I saw is true, and these fuckers need to be CD-key banned. The information I have given here may sound like normal play and I'm just suspicious but PLEASE, believe me, I know cheats when I see, and this was bullshit today. We Know for a fact that one of the hackers was under the name "gooby pls", after checking a body of one we killed. And we have a hunch that due to the obnoxious names that the hacker accomplices were named "G0taW00dy" and "StinkFinger" LINKS TO RELEVANT STUFF: VIDEO OF WHAT LITTLE FOOTAGE I CAPTURED DUING THE EVENTS. (I would have liked to record more, but it lags badly so I can't record as much as I'd like.) : http://youtu.be/PCMFWiMDaqc <--- Still uploading as I post this topic so give it an hour or so to finish the upload. SCREENSHOT OF ALL ONLINE PLAYERS WHILE THE EVENTS WERE GOING ON (We know it was 3 of these 50 players excluding Tortilla, Nanakai, and DuranB [thats us]): http://i.imgur.com/aGl73.png SCREENSHOT OF ELEKTRO ON FIRE from the crashed UH-1H: http://imgur.com/WcO6Z ANOTHER FORUM POST I MADE ON AUSARMA: http://www.ausarma.org/topic/1280-hacked-uh-1h-in-anz3-right-now-914-aest/ Any more info can be given if asked for, thanks for reading and please convict these assholes! they ruined my day today and I'm sure they've affected many others also. This crap must not continue to go unnoticed. Thanks in advance. might just add a TLDR:server ANZ 3, group of 3 hacker bandits spawning helicopters and vehicles and items. Also using wall hacks or player locating hacks to find people and kill them. total bullshit. needs to go.

Time: between the hours of 8:30 am Pacific time (US) and 9:30am~10:00am Server: US346 What happened: Saw players spawning and driving several police vehicle in and around Cherno (Didn't even know it was a hack until I saw one of their vehicles explode, and they continued spawning more. Someone was shooting at them.) Players were Riverr and Jerkface Please check the logs, should show that they were inserting police car vehicles. I will post any pics for proof if I can. Here are the screen shots to the best of my ability, I was being chased by zombies.

While it is a shame to lose the bus, motorcycle and the items me and my friend couldn't fit in our bags. At least we can pack the tent...losing the vehicles is sad though :( Never found a bus before (seen one drive by), and never even seen a motorcycle (it was given to us)... However. I can understand. HFB have really bad feedback from everyone who uses it. Kind of sad to lose a lot of stuff, but it is alpha...and like I said, it is understandable.

I have also found that very strange events follow this clan about, we set up on us 35 and make a camp, i sign on one day to find a member of the clan was looting our tents, how he found it i have no clue it was perfectly bugged within a tree, he was alone so i quickly kill him, then within the next week or two i go onto our new server and our new camp which is in a new place, i hear one of our vehicles being driven away and quickly notice that all 3 we owned were missing, i looked at the player list and there were 5 player online, one of the WAS THE EXACT SAME GUY, i had killed at our other camp on us 35 several days earlier. I am in no way trying to call all of you guys cheaters but i find this EXTREMELY suspicious. The member was called Archer.

As a server admin, I can tell ou with confidence, a vehicle needs to stay in one spot for a couple minutes before its position registers on the hive. On a reset or a shut down, your vehicle may be where you were earlier. Dont forget to save your inventory on them as well. So if you back track, you'll probably find it. Another note, my unit does constant scouting missions to find vehicles, and I'm sure a lot of others do as well. Something to consider. There is literally no 100% safe place on the server to setup a base. All your bases have to be temporary. You should never have a home in chernorus.

Quick question. What happens when a server is reset? Is a server reset different from a server "restarting" ? Do all the vehicles spawn again? If someone has hoarded them, does a server reset cause them to lose their vehicles? Reason i'm asking is because i'll often see the message "server restarting in xxx minutes" I usually hop right back onto that server after it appears in the list in hopes that I can find the heli crashes early and find a vehicle. Do things like heli-crashes spawn instantly once the server is reset, or do they have delayed random timers on when they appear? Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks

The last 5 hackers I saw used scripts which are not detectable in the logs nor by Battleye. Only way we catch cheaters now is killing them first and then look inside the logs how soon they get the same gear again. But what's the point of this thread anyway? Hackers can move from any server to any server, so blacklisting servers doesnt work, unless you know administrators are helping hackers. The only reason why people wouldn't hack is because they simply choose not to, it is so easy you could probably explain it to your grandmother in under 5 minutes. Download a script and put it in a specific folder, press a button and you're good to go with a 1% chance of getting caught in the act. Had a guy yesterday who was able to move any vehicle on the map to his own location, so Dayz database keeps the vehicles.
