Hey guys, This isn't a very complex idea so I'll get straight into it. Current State: Once you have a vehicle repaired, you can currently simply hop in and drive it. This works fine, but it does allow for someone to easily get to your car, and hijack it, or even hop in the back/boot. Theres really not much to do to prevent this besides shooting this person or driving away. Sometimes you are unable to do this, because you are preoccupied etc. For example, one time when I had just spawned into a new server, I had a vehicle approach me almost straight away. I noticed there were 2 Ghilli Suit characters inside the car, and both hopped out to try to shoot me (for whatever reason). I was relatively close to the vehicle, and the instant the driver move a bit away from it, I just dashed for the door, jumped in while bleeding, and drove off. One of the other guys managed to get into the passenger seat, and it was quite awkward driving away while bleeding to death looking at this stranger that had just hopped out to try and murder me. Point being, did I really deserve to get into that car? No. Would I have been able to do that in real life, even IF they were that bad a shot to not be able to kill me? No. They would simply drag me out of the door, or push me away. Its hard to represent that in game, besides a melee system with staggering etc. I don't really want to cover this, what I want to cover is realistic vehicle handling. Proposed Idea: I'd suggest a new item be added that spawns in with each working vehicle. This would be a simple key. Now before you start thinking i'm going to suggest you need to have this key to drive, stop. I'm not going to say that, because I realise the effect that would have on the game. You could essentially log out, and have a vehicle that is un-drivable until you come back with the key. What I am going to suggest is the following. If you are in possession of the key (which can act as a utility style item (theres little to no information on how the new inventory will handle items), you are able to start the vehicle it corresponds to, and lock/unlock it. Locking a car is available once you leave the car, and while you are in it (the latter can be done without the key). Locking / Unlocking Once you have locked your car, several situations can occur. The car doors and gear are inaccessible to a player without the key. However they can break into the car. Breaking into the car causes several things: Once you break into the car, you are able to unlock the door which you broke through (using the window). You can move to any seat inside the car as you can now, without having to break any more glass. That windsheild is now considered broken, and will need to be repaired (exposing the passenger/driver to easier damage, and zombies dragging you out of the car). If the car was locked when you broke the windsheild to get in, the car alarm will trigger. Car Alarms If you happen to trigger the car alarm by attempting to (and succeeding to) break into a car, it will sound for as long as the car's engine is not turned on. Turning the car engine on isn't as simple as it is with the key however. It will take a bit longer, and make a bit more noise. Essentially you would do the Hollywood style "break open the dashboard" hot wiring of the car to start the engine. This will be an action that takes a few seconds, meanwhile the car alarm is going, and the sound of bashing the window in has already happened. The car will rev a bit while you attempt to turn it on until finally it turns on. Consequences of Stealing a Car The reason why stealing a car would then become a harsh decision, is you'd have to take several things into account. While breaking into the car, you're left in the open, bashing in a window. This will create a fair bit of noise that both nearby players and infected will hear. While starting the car, the car alarm will attract and draw a lot of infected to the vehicle, and alert any player nearby that there is a car being stolen. The windshield on the drivers side (or passenger side) would now be broken, which leaves you with little defense against bulets and infected (who can hopefully pull you out of broken windows). I'll leave it at that so that I don't go off-topic too much into different ideas. Please post what you think of these ideas, and how I could improve them, or anything else you think of! Thanks for reading!

Hello guys! Come join my brand new DayZ server! IP: 92.30.181.23:2302 The server is currently NOT listed on DayZ commander so launch dayz and type "JJ" in the filter or the ip "92.30.181.23:2302" in remote. There is a custom base at Balota with weapon caches, food caches and medical caches! Most vehicles will be from Komarovo to Krutoy Cap and we will add more bases and vehicles around the map also a bridge to Skallisty Island and a few addons if we can figure out how because we are using DayZ CC and we are having some problems. Anyways come test the server out and give us some feedback and hopefully you will continue to play on it! The server has 20 slots and we hope to fill them! Thanks again Josh

If i repair + drive a vehicle and hide it, how much time it will stay after the last time i touched it?

TeamSpeak 3: 46.4.56.210 Chernarus Server Specs: Server IP: 46.4.56.210:2302 200+ Vehicles (not too full on map like the other crap) 20+ Helicopters (including MH60S) Custom Loadout Automatic Refuel Stations Side Chat (no voice!!! ) Heli Crash Sites with 2 models 50 Slots Active Admins Vehicle Cleaner every server restart (every 3 Hours) Server roll backs enabled 24/7 Daylight Starter Gear (Machete to survive better) New Camps, Citys and other self build Admins that are not abusing their Admin tool like the other kids This server was done to get a little bit more back to the old Day-Z and not the totaly extrem KI everywhere stuff. More survival lesser ego shooter. If youre not afraid: You're welcome ^^

I was thinking that in the standalone there should be a few trucks or humvees(maybe a boat) with guns on them. I think it wouldn't be OP if they didn't have protection around them so they could be sniped easily. There could be ammo in the guns already ranging from a full 500rds to empty, showing the military was using them to fight off the infected. Here are some of the vehicles that i tink would be cool if added.

**I'M NOT SURE IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN SUGGESTED OR NOT** Picture yourself in a apocalypse. You walk into a barn, and you find a perfectly polished Shotgun laying on the ground, right there for your taking. Okay, now picture yourself in a real apocalypse. Don't you think the shotgun would have rust on it? Or some sort of defect? Maybe if you find weapons in barns, they have slight rusted spots, maybe making reloading just a tad slower, or even broken iron sites, possibly even a chance for the gun to break after so many shots are fired? If you found an M16 at the barracks at, lets say NEAF, it would more than likely be in pristine condition, given that it was used by the military. But if you find an M16 in a tree stand, it's been outside, it's been affected by the weather, it's been sitting, collecting dust and grime. Chances are it won't be the same high quality standard. Maybe we could get some new textures? Such as CZ550 [RUST], obviously with a few rust spots, maybe even the bolt "jamming". The way it would work would be the rifle would no longer be selected, in which you could just press F again to reselect it. This would solve the "ghost" players that roam around and scavenge towns, treestands and if they're lucky enough, tents. These players (if they wanted to have a high quality weapon) would be forced to head to places like NWAF, Stary Sobor, and other highly dangerous areas for a higher reward of loot. Also, maybe the same thing with vehicles? If you find a truck on a farm, generally it's going to have some wear and tear, more so than that same truck being found at a military base. Just an idea.

I'm wondering if you can take stuff (like wheels, glass, etc.) off of vehicles.

Unified Apocalypse is a small community that has just been started by me and a few friends. We currently offer a Non-PvP server but we are wanting to expand. Scripts Autorefuel Self Bloodbag Street Lights Remove parts from Vehicles Safezones What makes our server unique? We think our server is unique because it offers a noob friendly experience to new players of DayZ. With it being Non-PvP we allow players to walk around without the threat of being shot, if you get attacked you can report the attacker and they will receive a permanent ban from the server. Our friendly admins are always available to help and guide you around and teach you any basics. We plan on opening a PvP Server so when you think you're ready you can go practice your skills on AI's and of course Players. We also have an extra city built at NWAF offering a lot of loot spawning buildings including 24 barracks spawning military grade weapons, hospitals, general stores and more!

Happy DayZ Server Address : 159.253.143.16:3051 Teamspeak Address: 178.33.179.46:18719 Website : http://happydayz.org (Under Construction) HappyDayZ is a PvE server based out of the UK. There is no PvP allowed outside of designated PvP events. These events allow for players to engage in PvP without affecting the players that do not wish to participate. These events offer in-game rewards to winners and participants. Rewards can include vehicles, weapons, skins, etc. Castle Sieges Castle Sieges are weekly PvP events that allow an organized group of players, or a clan, to attempt a castle siege on our altered Devil's Castle. To win the castle you must eliminate all participating members of the opposing group. If a group successfully sieges Devil's Castle from the defending group, they become the owners of the castle for the next week. If the defending group eliminates all members of the attacking group, they will own the castle for an additional week. The owner of Devil's Castle can use it as their personal base. The base will come equipped with a helicopter and a few land vehicles, as well as a personal fuel tank. Also, the base will have weapon/ammo crates with many weapons not available as normal loot. The base will be protected by a TSW Anti-hack dome, allowing only players the group specifies to enter. Hunger Games Hunger Games will be held weekly on our altered Skalisty Island. These will be every man for themselves events. Participants will be loaded into an MV22 Osprey and flown over top of Skalisty Island. They will be given a countdown and a command to eject and parachute down to the island. The event begins as soon as they touch the ground. There will be a group of weapon/ammo crates located in an open area in the center of the island for those who wish to risk it. There will be tents filled with supplies scattered around the island as well. Participants will start with 1 bandage. Admins will periodically fly over the island and cargo drop supplies. The last man standing will receive in-game rewards. Custom Bases Players can donate for many in-game rewards including custom loadouts, skins, vehicles and bases. Each base will be custom tailored to the request of the donator (within reason). These custom bases can include features such as custom vehicle spawns, weapon/ammo boxes, food and drink boxes, fuel tanks and more. Also, bases can include a TSW Anti-hack protective dome to allow only specified players to enter. For more information on donation rewards go Here!
