If you're just going to use a controller for vehicles, I would suggest sticking with the native controller support.

I'm currently playing a Hero on a private hive at the moment - I actually don't think I've had a single murder on the server - I'm sitting at around 8K Humanity and rising quickly. Apart from Bandits, most people are generally friendly towards me. They'll drop their weapons, or turn around when I ask them too and they normally offer help. This could be due to my presence in side-chat though, I offer medical aid to players, I pick up freshspawns and help them kit out and I also bring people vehicles and hunt bandits. I get that some people distrust hero skins, but for the most part, unless you shoot at us, we wont shoot at you...hell, I even go out of my way NOT to shoot at a survivor even if he opens fire on me. ( Unless you're a bandit )

Kings of the Sky Event: Objective: Secure your team's chopper/plane and destroy all other air vehicles. The most points wins. Only kills made with aircraft on airbourne players (or players who have ejected from an aircraft) will count, so only aircraft vs aircraft kills will count. 1 point per player killed 2 points per chopper knocked out of the sky (crashes occurring during combat count as kills) Rules: Anything goes apart from kamikazee Each faction should have the location of their factions stash of choppers available on their forum board now. Extra Planes and choppers will also be available at all the air fields for lone wolves and PMCs. All the aircraft spawned for the event will be deleted/removed over the next few days. Aircraft will be available from a reboot at 8pm! Location: BSB Taviana Server. Each faction will be provided with several choppers. Any PMC that pre-signs up to the event will also be provided with several aircraft. Lone Wolves or players turning up once the event has started will have to source their own aircraft (increased aircraft will be provided temporarily) Date & Time: Sunday 7th April 8:00pm - 10pm (GMT) Faction and PMC players should arrive 7:30pm. Event starts 8pm (GMT) after reboot. Event closes at 10:00pm.

Also you should try Origins its really fun and better than just looking for crashsites and camping an airffield, so far we have a garage, house built and not even close to completing our village, you can go to salvation city for a good bit of fun to get rare blueprints to get better buildings NO BS 50. cal snipers cool 4 hour day/night cycle, ammo does not come back after restart survivor vehicles the list goes on and on ITS ALOT OF FUN!!!

Hello :-) We are currently in the process of creating a small DayZ community. We love the game and it's beauty. We are currently two guys in the build-up and wont go way fancy on you at this moment. But as we have played on many different DayZ servers out there we have concluded that there is way much admin abuses on private hive servers, and a bad balance in the setup. We decided to do something about this for our own and got an server up and running with dayz.st which we think is the best hosting company to place it with. The server is placed in GB/Europe. We hope that this location is good at latency for central Europe. I'm stuck in the north (Norway) and get good responses with the server. Our main goal is to build the servers reputation. We do respect other players, and we want to help new players when they join to get a good start going. We have customized the map with extra buildings and barracks and minor details which makes the whole experience cooler than it already is. This is a Private Hive server ofc, and we would like to move the game experience a little bit further than the official experience. With 300 Vehicles, increased helicopter crash sites and more buildings with loot. We also have implemented Auto-refuel at the gas stations. And debug monitor is enabled. If there is anything you think we could be better at, or want to be a part of the team please don't hesitate to send an email to [email protected] or visit our cheap but functional bbpress forum at www.dayzinvennesla.org Our main server [Private Hive] ip adress is 159.253.131.69:3374 We also have an official server up and running. But we are pretty much limited to do nothing there, it runs it self more or less. This one is hosted by multigamer.no in Norway. - Please give it a shot if your location are inside the acceptable latency grid for European servers, and keep in mind we have active admins and we are monitoring the private hive server with DarTool - this means you can talk to admins in chat even if they'r not in game. Enjoy Update: We changed server location to Amsterdam, new IP 159.253.131.69:3374

Please excuse me if you thought I was the kind of guy that likes starting with a mp5sd with steak and walking around corners finding vehicles, no. I like having barely any vehicles on my server, and higher zombie spawn rates. What I don't like is going on to public servers and having fuckhead scream on side channel and just camp spawn, which will still be a issue in SA. Trust me, the first thing you will hear when you first logon to standalone, is prebs shouting the their microphones and camping spawns... This will always be a issue, unless rules are put in place, and since their will be no private hives at first, we will have to deal with prebs. That's why disable side channel and have teamspeak so I can monitor it much easier. Dayz would be nothing without custom maps, on youtube over 50% of videos are taken on custom maps, so are live streams, and rocket has already said that community made maps will not be avaible as they can open holes to hackers, but isn't battleeye and VAC getting upgraded and put in? Regardless, I see his concerns, but it's just another reason for no private hive servers, done deal.

New server update! Server should have been updated today (as of 2.45pm GMT). Updates are just map updates today that include; - Bug fixes - Vehicle spawn fixes (some vehicles spawning inside of object etc) - Vehicle spawn items changed (to keep things fresh and interesting) - Weapon updates (New weapons added to the map) - Moved the weapons cache at Martin Barracks to a more remote location - British Weapon cache added (Hidden) - SA80 Variants + extras - German Weapons cache added (Hidden) - G36 Variants + extras - UN Weapons cache added (Hidden) - AK Variants + extras - Russian Weapons cache added (Hidden) - AKs, Bizons etc. + extras - PMC Basic Weapons cache added (Hidden) - Features new Sniper rifles + extras - Gurrilla Weapons cache added (Hidden) - Misc. + extras - American basic weapons cache - M4/16 series weapons + extras - Czeck Weapons Cachw added - M4/M16 etc weapon variants +extras - More camo nets added to remote locations (for camp/vehicle cover) - Power plant unclipped/bugged area sealed off - More military structures added - Custom military barracks added throughout the map - Military road blocks check points added - Ambush areas added - Wrecks and blocked roads added - Hidden camps & bases - Decoys

Oh my God/Allah/Buddha/whatever... ...a private hive that doesn't spawn you in with NVGs, free guns, ammo, and all that other falsetto jazz? Oh la la! Tres bien server! Seriously. These are SO rare. Are there normal spawn rates for vehicles/gear? If you take out the map, I'd be really interested in joining. What map does it take place on? Normal Chernarus, or somewhere like Namalsk? Lingor? Lingor is a dealbreaker.

In the future, "Follow" your own threads; you'll never know the replies otherwise. Anyway: Use the normal dayz.chernarus.pbo (or dayz.namalsk.pbo I guess) and delete vehicle spawns you don't want, and move ones you do want, instead of starting from scratch. I applaud you if you do so wish to limit the number of vehicles on your server to a subpar amount; that would be a rather refreshing change from the "FREE M9SD NVGs 900 VEHICLES 20 HELICOPTERS" bullshit servers I see here everyday.

· Ping/Lag is generally good, and it helps that Wireworld has a 35 player maximum. · No camps or vehicles off the map. If anything is left over the map boundary, then it gets deleted on server restart. · Cross hair is off. Death messages off. v1.7.7 has been ready for release for a couple of weeks. There has been some hold up at BIS or BattleEye. It could be released tomorrow, or in another two weeks. The Wireworld owner got the code early from the developers. When you join the server, even if you are not whitelisted yet and get a kick message, the other server messages in the lobby include the Teamspeak IP and password. When you join Teamspeak, there is a link to v1.7.7 in the channel description. Alternatively, you could just wait for v1.7.7 to be released officially, update it using DayZ Commander (or manually), and then get whitelisted on Wireworld. Hope to see you on the server! 200 vehicles, 24 hour daylight, starting gear, name plates, death messages. Not very close to what Falstaff was looking for!

DayZ Commander is definitely the best solution to the 'bad version' problem, and it is the easiest way to update and play DayZ. Just to clarify though, those are not servers in the install/update list. They are community-built variations of DayZ, some with customs maps. Most are quite large in file size, so I would not recommend installing any of them until I actually wanted to play. It also makes your Arma folder slightly more cluttered and confusing if you ever need to do some manual updating. The other issue is that you need to know WHY you want to play a variation. For instance, if you don't like the military weapons in the original DayZ, because you think it spoils close combat and is unrealistic, then you'd need to know which variations address that issue and how. If you think the Chenarus map is too big for Player versus Player (PvP), then you'd need to know which variation has a smaller map whilst retaining all the weapons and equipment you'd want to use. So before playing the variations, I think it is a good idea to exhaust the original DayZ mod; get to know it well and discover its flaws. By the way, DayZ v1.7.7 is just about to be released, and it looks like it could be the best version of the original DayZ for quite a long time. Back to DayZ Commander: The actual servers are listed on the 'servers' tab. You set your filters and then click 'refresh all servers'. One of the filters says 'any mod'. For just now, I would choose 'DayZ Only'. Personally I also set 'max ping' to 150, and I like to set 'survivor count' to between 10 and 35 for public servers (to avoid hackers, who generally stick to the higher population servers). Select 'hide unofficial' to only list the public hive servers. By all means give the public servers a try for a week, but remember, tents and vehicles don't transfer from server to server, only the gear that you're carrying. So if you find a vehicle, you'd want to stay on that server until you lost it. If you make a camp, you'll have to note down which server it is on, and 'server hop' when you want to get gear from your tent. When you meet a player on a public server, you really don't have any choice but to shoot on sight. And of course, when you get killed, your tent is raided, or your vehicle is stolen, you'll always be wondering if they were using a hack to find you or your camps. Some hacks are more obvious, and you may find yourself teleported to somewhere nasty. My advice to new players though, is don't waste more than a week on the public hive. Just have a go to see how bad it is, and then start looking for a private hive. They are not all equal though. For instance, only a few are close to the original vanilla DayZ - most have a load of modifications which turn the game more into Arma or Battlefield. A lot also have power-drunk, teenager admins who don't even attempt to run a balanced, fair, impartial server. When you get to the stage of looking for a private hive to play on, make sure to give WIREWORLD UK a look.

Tommorow sat apr the 7th 9pm est,dayz journey will be having an opening event,the coast will be filled with vehicles to help you start off right,all choppers will be in there spawns,and server admin events like (seek and find loot zombie,admin loot convoy) come enjoy the loot,custom map additions,and new features. www.dayzjourney.com join our community Server:67.228.177.88:3408

Welcome to the community! If you ever need help, feel free to PM me. In my server, I have added logistics for towing, air lifting, and loading stuff into vehicles, base building, AI, as well as several other features, so I can probably help you out if you ever need the help. Anyway, good luck with your server! ;)

I have doubts all!!! lol add me skype KaduSL pliz I would have on my server 1)auto refule 2)debug monitor 3)Dogs 4)Ride in vehicles back (2 players can travel on 1 bicycle) but I'm very noob not have the slightest idea of how to do

A lot of people would probably just destroy the vehicles. I suspect he will continue to add vehicles, new features, weapons, loot, and details. Maybe even new regions at some point. It would be cool if they were all connected. Like if you had a boat and traveled East or South you could find some huge island (line Lingor Island) or entire new regions to the North.

hmm looks nice, but what's with ping, lags etc ? are there ? and what leaving vehicles off the map ? and the last question, does crosshair is off ? and where i can download this patch 1.7.7 ?:P

I have just bought a server, I have set the basics up, but we need admins and people to help with custom load outs, load screens, vehicles, etc. add me on skype for more details. sythichf

Hello we are a new server looking to populate. -Active Admins -24h day -50 slot -CH/ON, NP/ON, DM/ON -Anti Hacks -200+ vehicles -Starting Gear -Heli Crashes -Noob Friendly -Please No Voice In Side :) IP-184.173.146.24 Port: 3255 If any question feel free to ask :) Come check it out and have some fun :)

Thank you very much enRage, this is where I've been looking for! :) Just one thing: I read in there that AI takes own vehicles. Can I disable that so they don't take any vehicles?

Nick, you are so wrong... The video i posted before is a vanilla server Basically it's how the beta changed with community configuration project, and how this loads arma's client files. (forget dayz, classes work regardless of dayz_anim) If you can't get them to load then, of course, your doing it wrong. UK 1 - dayzmad.com at the time had some cool features, also some vehicles like in the video. Stop arguing about things, you clearly are mis-informed. Here is ONE way to do it: (there are also many more, which are probably better if you know how it works server side) HERE dayz_anim was obsolete along time ago, for most peoples missions its not even a required file. Good luck anyway...obviously you are new, much to learn.

Wireworld UK is close to what you want... it's nearly a vanilla server with veteran and 3rd person; the only changes are: · AS50 and m107 removed. · 42 vehicles (default is 35). · Tents last 999 days after death (default is 3), so your camps are permanent. · Night vision chance has been increased at heli-crash sites. · Currently it's a full moon every night to encourage players to stay later in the evening. Usually it is normal cycle. · Currently side chat is on as an experiment to help solve any accusations and misunderstandings. So far players have not spammed it. The players' age range is late teens to beyond middle age. There are occasionally younger players on the server because the owner runs a gaming centre and some of the kids there play a bit of DayZ. They are under supervision though, and don't mess around any more than the adults do. The amount of players varies. Before Easter it was 20-35 (the server is capped at 35). At the moment it seems to be 8-20. We are starting a recruitment drive today, so hopefully numbers will increase again soon. Importantly, most of the regulars want to play DayZ as it was meant to be played. Players scavenge, build camps, repair vehicles and help each other, just as much banditry and PvP. Teamspeak is strongly encouraged, so we all get to know each other a bit, and on the whole it's a pretty good crowd (of course not every one gets along, but that makes for some good drama). Compared to other servers, there has been very little hacking; if there has been any, it's been subtle enough to go undetected fort the most part. Oh, and we're running v1.7.7 before anyone else, so you'd have to download our PBO package. Once 1.7.7 goes public, then we'll just be using the same files as everyone else. See my signature for the link to the official Wireworld thread. Got to Papa's Whitelisting Bonanza thread for clear instructions of how to sign up, and a fast-track whitelisting (if he's online).

Edit 4/28 Note that Dayz Commander shows the server greyed out. Please uncheck your filter for incorrect arma version to find the server. The server is about a month old now and have a regular playing base of 30 or so people. Overall we have had 500+ unique players. We recently switched to Taviana but switched back after input from the players. Admins are always on in some aspect and can be reached through the Rcon or available teamspeak if any issues arise. The admins are all friendly and respect other players. We only want the server to grow. The ability for trucks and helis to lift and tow other vehicles has been added, also allowing for helis to store smaller vehicles in their cargo. This is the most recent update and will be tweaked in the coming week. Care packages are dropped on the server and have the ability to have either normal supermarket loot, tons of food, medical supplies, and most rarely high value military loot. After playing Origins and seeing the vehicle salvage ability we knew we had to have it. We have enabled the ability for players to remove parts from cars to repair other cars. New cars, trucks, and helis including the MTVR, UH1Y, etc. have also been added to the server. The loot tables have been tweaked on the server to eliminate some items (such as watches) which tend to spam some buildings. All high power loot has been tweaked in a way that will encourage many visits to loot areas. New weapons such as the Scar class rifles, some new LMGs, and the ak107 variants just to name a few have been added to the loot tables. The military ai on the server, which tend to guard areas where high value vehicles or high loot buildings, carry high value loot which has been taken out of the loot spawns. They are not unfairly powered and can be a lot of fun. The areas they patrol are changed on a weekly basis so players must tread carefully when they reach the northern parts of the map. Everyone on the server can attest to the fairness of the admins, their ability to solve issues that arise from DB errors to the rare hacker which slips by them, and the amount of player input that is considered regarding changes to the server. We try to keep it fun without making it easy. Join us. Server IP: 50.97.49.67:3000 Teamspeak: chicago2.voipservers.net:10010
