Just had a vision of groups trying to work out how to place all their vehicles on a boat and log out at sea 70 k south lol High speed run of one of the harbour walls maybe.

Playing devils advocate here but, After a crash it's actually quite common for tents/vehicles not to respawn until after another restart or so (as is the case often enough on our server). Not to mention, if you killed him as the screenshot indicates, then he would no longer be able to take down his tent, as it is no longer "his", so it would remain there for a few days until it expired.

I'm not sure but it seems that vehicle inventories get arbitrarily wiped. For the last few weeks I've found no rhyme or reason for it. Some vehicles will definately get wiped on a server restart. Others will last a few days, or a week, but if you move them, the next server restart may wipe it clean. I suppose some of them could have been raided and had every item dropped, but that seems unlikely with how often it happens. As far as I can tell, there is no way of knowing which vehicle will retain it's inventory for any length of time. None of mine are ever off map. I wish there was a way of tracking or showing this as it can happen over several days or only hours. Does it depend on the Arma2 beta the server is running? Has anyone else found that vehicle inventories are less dependable than tents? I still have a couple of tents up that retain their inventories indefinately, even though I've died a few times. Other tents are known to 'eat' stuff, so I don't use them. Haven't found a new tent in the store for over a week so not sure how they work.

wish battleye would ban players using that espn hack[shows tents/vehicles on ingame map] before they did this

I personally think ALL vehicles should have a despawn timer or can only be repaired xxx amount of times. This is true to real life and would make it pointless for admin abuse to raid their own servers for vehicles.

I spent most of my hours in ARMA pitching AI forces against eachother in the campaign editor just to watch things explode with a bunch of amazing visual effects mods running like WarFX Blastcore. I would set up a huge tank engagement in the desert, have special forces raid a town with chinooks or stuff like setting up an ambush with an IED and have other AI drive a convoy through it just to see what would happen during the mayhem. Just watching as a civie from a hilltop at night with all the tracers flying around and smoke plumes underlit by burning vehicles and buildings was awesome. I had mods for cluster boms, a MOAB and other cool stuf like AI scripts but I never tried the nuke. Looks awesome. :)

I've had this happen and it wasnt fun. Thats why my vehicles are offmap. Also, sometimes the inventory gets wiped due to bugs. I've lost so many coyote packs and rare rifles...

Link to the reddit thread: http://tinyurl.com/8468gz2 Okay, so, two friends and myself were running towards the edge of the map to see if we could find some camps and possibly some vehicles. Anyway, one of my friends accidentally placed a marker on the map called 'lol'. We ran towards this marker and we were running up a large hill outside of the map. Over the edge of the hill, I could see what appeared to be 4 players. I warned my two friends. We cautiously approached these players, who, weirdly, seemed to be looking towards the 'lol' marker. Upon reaching these 'players', they turned out to be some weird NPCs dressed in tuxedos. They could move however and we killed all of them. There were about 8 of them and they all had guns and ammo. They also all had radios. Does anyone know what the fuck this is? [Also, at the time, my debug monitor was missing.] Picture 1: http://tinyurl.com/7z39oan Picture 2: http://tinyurl.com/89uynup

- 24h to relocate camp tents etc. - Vehicles that werent used for 1 day have already been reset.

I am afraid I don't have a answer for you either, but I offer you two likely possibilities... First: server host stopped paying the bill for whatever reason, and lights went off... Second: the server may have been blacklisted, there is a thread in announcement section of the site (stickied) if you want to look through it for his server. Good luck getting an answer, I have played on 3 servers and all my friends and I lost all our stuff, and the most recent server stopped paying his bills and we at least saved our stuff because we got notice... Will miss the military offroad and ural + throwaway vehicles.

If he were to re-locate the base, the tents would still be there unless he destroyed them. I'd like to see Theorix prove that his screenshot with the base being gone is actually UK 34, and not some other server. I'd also like to say that Tents and Vehicles alike can disappear on a server restart, me and a few of my friends were at our base on UK92 messing about and the server crashed. We came back in, and it was all gone except the tents. The tents were there and had in fact been duplicated, but were empty. I'd also like to see Leavaris to post his logs - to strengthen his words. I've read the Vilayer thread and a lot of people have had trouble with this provider for a few days(Not just 3-5 hours like someone else said.).

This is a relief to see, as I'm tired of searching those rolling hills for hoarded vehicles.

But there doing those 24 hour testing sessions obviously, You know the ones where they gather any vehicles and then farm the shit out of everything to make sure it works as intended. You are so suspicious.

sweet :) happy I have my five tents and four vehicles in bounds :)

nice to know I can play in a server knowing some clan doesn't have half the vehicles in a secluded outpost a lightyear away from the edge of the map.

Guess where I had parked mine? That's right' date=' way up north, passed the fjord / river going inland from the coast, then back around, then more north or whatever you wana call it. Yes, people DO go up there, and a lot. I've found half of the vehicles up there. I actually don't park there anymore due to how many people go up there thinking like you. [/quote'] I see you failed to check out the link that I posted..

Now you need to fix the spawns so the clans that are stacking can't just lock their servers to "TEST" until they recover all their precious vehicles... Make them cry.

Helis don't spawn. The vehicle maps are bullshit. All the vehicles I have found (8+) ATVs, Bus, Bike, and a UAZ were not on the vehicle maps I have found. They are about to get alot more common now that they are wiping vehicles out of bounds. Just don't get on a server that has "mandatory" patch downtime so the admins can run around on their vehicles that didn't disappear to recover the ones that have.

Lol so you found the L85 Thermal gun in the barracks too right? You guys are so full of shit its not even funny... I mean seriously SVD Dragunovs and L85 Thermal sight guns. I spent over 500+ Hours at the barracks and seen even satchel charges ' date=' m136 missile launchers but never seen a SVD Dragunov and L85 and just the mere fact that you guys didint have it on you and you have it in the vehicles is a dead give away that you had "Extras". Just have the admin look into the logs thats all if you have nothing to hide or worry about then you shouldent care about him looking into the logs. You guys did not have a spare L85 and SVD Dragunov because who does? Lmao along with the countless other extremley rare weapons that were there you guys definently were atleast duping so dont try to act like you guys just stumbled on heli crashes with L85's and SVD Dragunov camo and just put spares in the vehicles... Seriously its blatantly obvious we spoke to the admin and he will look into the logs and get to the bottom of it. [hr'] Also the SVD Dragunov spawns in barracks and the L85 is supposed to spawn at heli crash sights not the barracks... I just confirmed this information so you are flat out lying and saying Im starting something out of nothing. Ill be getting the logs today to take a look at this and my bet is that those L85's and SVD's most likley have the same ID number that the ones you guys are carrying or hacked either way Im positive you didint have spare L85's and SVD Dragunov Camo's...

WOW thanks!!! But it will be still hard to find the vehicles that are near the boundaries. But still better then nothing! Could you please tell us if you are looking into fixing the disappearing bodies and the dead body sound ? Those are the most annoying and game breaking things. Especially the disappearing bodies with all their loot within seconds after the player dies. I dont want the ETA etc, just say if you are consider it a problem and whether you thinking to fixing it some day ?

Thanks god! But! "Vehicles that remain unused for a short period of time (<=24h) outside map boundary now respawns inside map boundary." What do you mean with " respawns inside map boundary" ? Do they respawn to the closest location inside the map boundary OR on their original spawn locations ? I prefer the latest. ps. now only please fix the disappearing bodies that fade away after couple of second when someone dies and the dead body sound without any bodies

DevilDog, I too am a fan of your videos, but I just find it extremeley annoying people feel the need to hide things off map. Chernarus is FAR from being small, I would say 225/225 square Km is pretty damn big, and thats a HUGE understatement. The land is loaded with infinite possibliites of where to set up camps and stash vehicles. And even if you lose you stuff, so what? Its part of the game, you cant live forever, unless you exploit. One of this biggest rules in DayZ, "NEVER get attacthed to your gear, you will eventually lose it. It is inevitable."

RIGHT NOW!!! US 13 Dallas one hacker spawning vehicles and helis

Items are serverbound. Vehicles and items out of bounds are subject to removal. No guarantees at all that they will survive long. Infact I have a few tents on my list for removal that are stored in green acres!

You have walked to the edge of the map and beyond. Great place to hide vehicles and what not albeit a little hard to get to. Everytime I wander into the wasteland I always imagine getting a bunch of people and having a massive axe fight with about 50 vs 50, each team different mountains and then have everyone rush in on queue and fight to the death in a random valley. It's where I envision DayZ going one day haha
