US245 and We have vehicles. We did have suspected hackers last night, with 3 helos in the air within 15min of each other.

i used this to get the dayz mod and every time i try and join a server it starts to join then boots me back to the lobby and puts a message up saying cannot play/edit this mission;it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus' also on start up it comes up with 2 messages one says needs CAbuilding and the othere says something about vehicles and rifle can any1 tell me y it is doing this and how i can fix it ? plz and ty

I placed a tent yesterday to move shit from my vehicles, but when I logged in this morning it was empty, and the vehicle I repaired was damaged again (the fuel tank and hull was red, but it was green before the server restarted). All of my items in the vehicles loaded properly though. Is this happening more due to the DDoS from a few days ago, or is it something 1.7.2 will fix?

Anyone? What is the status on vehicles? I dont get it :S Anyone??? :huh::huh::huh:

I dont see why not, yeah, you probably won't see your neighbour with an MG on their truck, but if you look at the current rebel wars going on, they all mount weapons and whatnot on their vehicles, i would do that too if i was in such a situation

Had alot of nice equipment... Night vision, DMR. Living for 5 days and counting, usually the top of the leader boards in terms of Zeds killed. Being a loner at night - looking for any possible vehicles; ONE zombie ran up, broke my legs, knocked me unconcious, took 7k off my 12k health pool in one hit!... Shhiiiiiit. That was a learning experience. Pretty much told me not to get attached to my gear.

It can be done, but it has serious limitations, probably the best way would be using AttachTo command, but be prepared for desync and lag while your buddy drives you and you are rubberbanding all over the place. It has been done even before the introduction of that command http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1519 but again it had limitations. And you wouldn't be able to be in the vehicle because the only way to fire "something" inside a vehicle is using the vehicles weapons, so you wont be able to fire your gun, or your ammo. Maybe not the best explanation ( don't have the time ) if someone wants more info on how it can be achieved or why it cannot be, just check for the extensive threads on this subject at bis studio forum.

Hey guys will just be posting any information of this server here as well as when we get the website up and running (if I can ever stop playing). Just a bit of info : Server runs UTC +4 (The major donators are Aussies and this timezone is perfect for the play time) Server runs Vet with third person and cross-hairs enabled. We have a team speak just pm me for the details if you want a chat Known Issues: We are having problems with stationary zombies clogging up the zombie count and ruining gameplay and trying to fix this issue (pm me if you have a fix) -FIXED We are yet to have vehicles (this seems to be a popular error among the new severs) -FIXED ( Thanks Ander) Thank you for reading

I've only seen mods where the passengers can shoot from the littlebird, but that's all. it would require a whole new set of vehicles I think, plus mods that would be hard to produce. but I've seen DayZ devs do other things i thought where impossible

Date/Time: July 4th 2012 What happened: On Chicago 60 which is running version 1.7.0 still, it lets people with newest patch in so we get tons of bugs cause of that. 1. No zombies, sometimes u can see 1 zombie in an entire city but thats very rare. 2. You can still loot stuff and bring this on up-to-date servers. 3. If you die on this server, you will respawn at the last place you disconnected with your gear. That means its easy to dupe your stuff as someone can kill you and you spawn again and loot your corpse. People are doing this like crazy on Chicago 60. Where you were: Chicago 60 North West Airfield What you were doing: We found out by accident, we got killed off and we were shocked to see we actually spawned with our gear again and that we could bring it to the up-to-date servers. We tried out with many items we found and anything could be duped, except vehicles ofcourse. Only items that can be in your inventory. People running the 1.7.0 patch could still use the global chat channel, we couldnt though. And they couldnt see our gear either but we could see each other. They could die and see zombies, we with up-to-date patch couldnt. Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 / Arma 2 build 94444 (Also worked on 94364) Server(s) you were on: Chicago 60 Your system specs: I7-960, 8GB, GTX580 Timeline of events before/after error: Basicly you need to stop letting people joining out of date servers

Same at NL 13, no vehicles.

That's right, I'm suggesting armour plating for vehicles. They should be in the form of 3 scrap metal that become one armour piece with use of a toolbox and can attach to vehicles but risk the aesthetics of the vehicle. Also decrease spawn rate of scrap metal a bit to compensate. Maybe increase the amount of metal needed and amounts of armour like 3 is low protection 5 is medium and high is 10. Scavenge vehicle parts with a toolbox and a 30% chance that you won't be able to scavenge it. I will extend upon this when I think about it a bit more maybe you guys can. Breaking down a weapon to make it run more effeciently with a toolbox and maybe some other tools to add later on to help with this. You could use scrap metal to make it run more effeciently or mod it and make it capable to use a wider range of ammunition and add attachments that you find in construction sites or military bases. Weapon wearing can occur over long period of use and you have to clean it also the weather can affect it too. (DRAFT) Attach weapons to vehicles?

We at DE 121 are without any vehicles as well.

Server this happened on: DayZ - EU 10 Time that it happened including your timezone: 14:30 UTC+0100 What happened during the incident: Well we had set up a camp where we kept all our gear, we have already helped this guy before as he is a friend of a guy i play a little with. Then we tried to ignore him as he turned out to be very little mature and acted like a real jerk. So then he is telling us that he can see our gear on the map and that he is heading our way. And he told us he was using maphack and can see camps and vehicles on the map including weapons. He showed up at exactly where our camp was. I shot him but look at this guys profile, he has hacked servers before and is using maphack as well. This is one guy you guys need to perma ban from DayZ. And look at his display name history, calling himself Hitler, Anders Breivik who killed tons of kids in my country and Obama .........

+3 for my server. when do vehicles spawn? (I have no idea) where are you renting your server from? (HFBServers) what skill setting is your server set at? (Regular) Not one person I know of has seen a vehicle. Atlanta 107 Hosted by UGF-Clan.NET

I think you need to put vehicle spawns to positive in the options or something. You can find a few vehicles at: ATV - Cap Golova Old Hatchback - House at the end of the dirt road South South-West of Lopatino Go to this link for more information on vehicles - http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles

Man, we rented a new server and I have not seen any vehicles at all! Does the server need to be running on veteran or something?

Yes, we had about 6 vehicles and 2 tents

My server (US 232) also has no vehicles that we can see

You have seen vehicles in your server?

If the camp contains 11 vehicles, we've rigged them all with high explosives and can track the vehicles on GPS whenever necessary.

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if anyone else has the problem of their vehicles and tents dissapearing ( respawning ) I'm getting pretty annoyed with it because it has happened to me and my friends twice now, we've lost alot of good weapons such as DMR's and M107's I was asking to know if it was just us or it is a bug with the mod as of now?

Id like a Find a friend thread. in the official forum. While Google has been somewhat helpful in finding charming compatriots to knuckle through this apocalypse, it has often been hit or miss in terms of maturity and , less problematically, language. i think a more formal or official friend finder system might help alleviate some of the "Shoot now, shoot later, shoot some more and when all the bullets are gone, try and find out if their friendly or not" gameplay thats on the rise. It may also help neutralise the Iron clad grip Clans have on some servers. for instance hoarding vehicles and weapons in tent cities off the map in what me and my friends call the "Forest of denial", although more commonly refered to, although just as colloquially, as the "Debug Forrest" By allowing temporary cooperatives to compete in a significant way for gear etc. a despot and their Ruling armed force, is less threatening when surrounded by several smaller hostile forces, even if those forces are unallied. You would probs get a few new gameplay trailers from it as well :P If im wrong then please enlighten me. its only a working theory. i'll take no offence from valid objections.

Well I read that after 7 days vehicles respawn if they are bugged, destroyed or unused. The barbed wire you will have to deal with yourself

Okay, lets answer a bit more into detail then here as there seems to be some confusion. Pictures are misleading as hell as they suggest the server immediately went to black and show no time. I was there and there were at least 5 minutes between the restarts, the logs also showed that the server wasn't restarted for a very long time. For the restart after everything happened I'm actually quite sure that it either was a crash or an automatic server restarts which happens frequently to keep the server playable, just ask any server owner you know. Afterwards admin logged into the server to look what was going on with the crash and asked Nelis how he got there, as he said in our teamspeak channel that he walked from debug forrest to our first base (1.5 km north of road). So there also seems to be a mix up with the screens as presented here. Futhermore what also wasn't told was that "jemoeder" and his playmates have complained for ages about admin abuse on our server. Like our automatic lock system which locks the server when there are 5 players in the lobby trying to load the game to prevent server lag for other players. Everytime the server is locked because of this they go to our teamspeak channel and complain to immediately let them in. With restarts when they are playing as well they also accuse admin in teamspeak channel that we just restarted because they find gear X in building Y, while in most cases there hardly is any admin influence on the server and most are just experimental scripts we use (see server description). They found the camp with proper tactics by listening to our teamspeak for a couple of days and killed us in "fair" combat, although it may seem strange that you all have "end-gear" with just 0 zombie kills. This either suggests hacking -I don't think any of you guys are capable of that- or using an exploit to switch suit which resets all player stats and ammo. SoH as server owners didn't ban anyone, didn't kick anyone and didn't kill anyone with administration powers. Only thing what happened was that a server was restarted just a couple of minutes after a fight took place, propably even an automatic restart with 0 admin influence. I guess our bodies were already looted by then, so I really don't see any point why this restart -even when executed by an admin- was abusive in any way. Yes, like all server admins I think MrTurtleX tried to say that the server does not always get restarted for stability, but sometimes also in the night when nobody else is online and one of the ATV's gets flipped over for instance or gets bugged inside a dock. With a server restart all vehicles respawn in the proper orientation again. I think it's one of the least things a server admin can do if nobody else is affected by it. But I think this topic has gone far way out of context and in actuality nothing really happened except 5 guys getting killed and we lost 2 or 3 vehicles of all vehicles we have. I would much rather spent my time on catching hackers and cheaters on our server, find and kick disconnectors during a gunfights than to spent anymore of my limited time on this discussion. The players complaining here are known for trolling for weeks now so that's propably why an outsider will see a couple of annoyed reactions here. It's not like we hear this for the first time from this group after we denied Jemoeder entrance to our clan (basically for being childish). So if anyone would like to base an opinion on the situation, please inform yourself well and don't believe everything on the internet. I really couldn't care less if players do or don't want to play on our server, from my experience we've always offered a stable server and keep a pro-active prevention policy against hackers which I think is far more important than seeing a server restarting once in a while. It is thanks to those so called evil admins of SoH that a lot of users can daily keep enjoying our server with less worries about hackers and cheaters because we mostly weed them out ourselves quicker than anyone else can notice their presence. Have a good day, I'm going back to actually playing the game. If there are any further questions just PM me, nothing more to say here in this thread.
