You cannot drive up to something and loot it. You have to drive up to the town, 200m away or so, and run up on the loot spawn to get the loot. You know this already, most likely anyway. I would like to think that if the game is going to work against us correctly(i.e zombies spawning while we are in vehicles) then I would like to think that it will work for us correctly(i.e loot spawning while we are in vehicles)

Server started, the vehicles are back ! Thank you Razor ! :beans:

Your issues seem to be something else your vehicles look fine. Last_updated is very old and none of them have any inventory but they all seem to be in default locations with default dmg.

I had a vanilla public server once. Was looking for a server with GMT-6, nameplates off, crosshairs off and deathmessages off, imposible to find a single one like this, so I made my own. Seems like there was more people with my problem because since the first week it was full (40/40) almost everyday on prime time, I would have keep it if it wasn't for the vast amount of hackers I was banning everyday and I had no time for this as it almost required 24/7 monitoring. But I been thinking lately to host an almost vanilla private hive when I have spare time again. Been considering of taking away starting backpacks, I would not add extra vehicles besides a SUV (just one, because I love this car) and the ability to tow vehicles and lift them with the MI-17 (loved this in ACE mod). That would be all.

Ok so it looks like the vehicles are not resetting after they have been destroyed your id should be fixed on your next restart.

No that is a hive issue. The hive isn't auto most of the system has to be done by hand and to change is a pretty big job for the amount of servers on the hive. If you send your instance id i can add vehicles that should keep re spawning the question is for how long.

Please read this topic: http://dayzmod.com/f...not-respawning/ The vehicles are not respawning on some servers. Edit: All the crashed vehicles are "spawning" (RPT/Hivelog compare) but they don't appear at all, they keep the state "Crashed/waiting for respawn" and stay on the coords they was previously crashed, and don't come back.

Hey Razor ! Will it correct the vehicles spawning problem ?

Yes because we want more realism in our game about zombies... huh? LOL! Just messing with you man. With all the vehicles in the game it's disappointing to see the only motorcycle is a Kawasaki (which I would never be caught dead on IRL. My father would rise from the grave to beat my a$$). Harley-Davidson, Triumph, Vincent, Indian, BMW. That is what I wanna ride when I'm killing zombies.

DayZ is just that, Vanilla DayZ... These run on a public hive (altough there are private hives for it too) so if you are playing on an official server you are always gonna start with the same stuff, and all the loot tables will be the same for each server. Upside is you can switch servers and keep your gear. DayZ+: This is a slightly different version of DayZ, I quite like it. It is set in the same place but every server will be on a private hive (i.e. you cant switch server and keep your stuff) DayZ Origins: Technically nothing to do with DayZ. This is apparently a mod of it's own heavily based on DayZ. This mod uses the Taviana map (personally my favourite map) which is over 600km^2 (over 600 square kilometers, compaired to the 225km^2 of Chernarus). The map has lots of custom vehicles that look like the have been made by survivors, including a helicopter tha has been put together from parts of other vehicles and scrap. Some of these vehicles are "upgradable" I believe, but I've never done it myself Most of the other DayZ mods on commander offer different play styles, Namalsk is small, has lots of high value military and has a customer "monster" and Psy emissions, heavily based on the serise of games S.T.A.L.K.E.R if I am correct. I havn't played all of the mods so I won't comment on them all. A note on private/public hives: A private hive is basically an unofficial hive that anyone can download and install on their server, but if you log on to one of these servers you start a new character that is only availabe on that server. There are private hives that allow you to move between servers and keep your gear but they are all hosted by the same company. I was playing on a few Namalsk servers that were all on a "hostnamehere.com" hive but if you stop playing on a server hosted by "hostnamehere.com" then you would need to start a new character. Public hive: As far as I'm aware these are only availabe on the main DayZ official servers. For more info on some of the maps available you can check you www.dayzdb.com although I would recommend using some form of add blocker while on this site or close it down when you are in game because they now have annoying video adverts that will start playing audio while you are in game... many a time I have shat myself haha.

ARMA's controls are a bit convoluted, but they're quite logical when you think about it... G - gear M - map B - binoculars Etc... You'll get the hang of it though, it's just the inventory that's a pain when you're new. You could try Balota Buddies if you're looking for a hack-free server that doesn't have 9,001 vehicles, starter gear, 24/7 daylight and all the other super-noob friendly stuff that's become commonplace. Check their forums for info on how to get access. Check the private-hives sub-forum on here if you wanna take a look at others too though.

BUMP Added new locations. Updated BattlEye, BeC. Added new vehicles locations. Added new vehicle spawns (AN2, UH6X, offroad). A bridge between Chernarus and Skalisty Island was built. Updated Each-evening helis spawn points and loot (+2 full Jerry Cans). Updated each-restart Ural loot (Prigorodki). It can spawn now MP5s, bizons, LeeEnfields, M16s, M4s and much more... Fixed some database errors. Fixed anti-relog script.

Well I just thought I'd sign up and say Hello and give Mac my best wishes. This unfortunate business above really does not cast the server in good light. It's been incredible fun playing on this server and we have had our fair share of massive fire fights and which seem to last for hours. One named 'Ham Burger Hill' after I flew a Little Bird into what I believe was NWA's Huey. Our little group 'The Roman Empire' (not our words) was formed from helping each other out it's usually 5 people strong not that big - admittedly I was skeptical at first and thought the Irishman had stolen our stuff ;). It just goes to show how this game induces paranoia. Server rule enforcement seems poor at the moment. You have certain individuals always aborting too quickly after death to deny loot and others combat logging this is within the flashing combat timer but of course 'their game crashed blah blah' which is rarely addressed in a satisfactory way. You're usually told to email Mac (who you know is way too busy with his own problems) but you're already speaking with an admin... The real problem comes from trust. An admin is part of a bandit group with the lowest humanity and highest survivor kills on the server. It could be completely unintentional but surely the admin has looked at logs etc. Is he supposed to forget where these camps/vehicles/people are? It's surely a conflict of interest. I would also say this group has been only one I've encountered use profanity through direct chat in game. I believe this was from only one member. The set of circumstances that lead to these posts were very strange. 2 people were set on fire (which we have never seen) then the player seems to magically appear behind you after you've killed him. I thought it was a different player as you were telling me not to shoot you because you were an unarmed (in a bandit skin). I couldn't believe I had just killed you again. Anyone is going to be suspicious of what happened and you just got very defensive and oddly had preped the admin before we got to speak with him. None of us are sore from loosing gear we have enough for the group 2-3 times over, I didn't die so I'm not sore from that either. We just wanted answers and look what has started because of it.

Custom Loadout More Barracks Hospitals Stores FireStations Debug Monitor 24/7 Daylight 230+ Vehicles Choppers etc

No respawn for our server, I will redo the trick tomorrow. Razor please help us ! Edit: FYI The spawned vehicles appear in the RPT log at start. All the vehicles appear in the hive log at start.

Some vehicles will not repair, nothing happens but the part is wasted. Huey is back got the fuel leak when a window is broken. Get booted down to the bottom left corner of the map sometimes on login.

To achieve end game items and have vehicles in vanilla dayz we are either talking extreme luck or days if not weeks of gaming. When people pay for their own server they want it to be busy, so they start catering towards the common denominators. At the moment those are extra items and vehicles. Can you blame them? Who wants to pay 40-50$ for an empty server? The casual gamers do not have time to play for a week to find a working motorcycle, so they play on a server which guarantees them at least one vehicle per sitting. We can sit here all day and talk about this, but the truth is that these people seldom post and do not represent the community albeit having a vast number advantage over us. SA must not allow private hives such liberty in settings, let that stay in the mod. Let it be a dayz mod thing.

Balota has extra loot places and more vehicles. I think he's looking for vanilla.

I'd jsut logged in, I was droped there earlier in the day after a shoot out and was in bad health. I logged into try and sort my stuff out for the night and get my self fixed etc. I spawned in, seen you running about and then got mobbed by zeds lol My side arm was empty so I started using the AS50 (I only use it for vehicles normally as I hate it), firing at you and the swarm around me to try and buy me time to get some cover and get me to the motorbike that was stored near by. Back fired though and you got off a good shot on me. Not to worry though. The map is cracking by the way but we're having some problems with it this week and have a support ticket raised with our hosts. Its' not spawning gear at crash sites and the time settings are messed up. We're hoping to have this fixed within the next few days but if not we'll be doing a server reset and may even switch maps depending on our community feedback. Details at our forum. Also the planned events (there's also ad-hoc stuff that kicks off through the week at any time) will be held almost every week , although there's no event next Sunday while we are having server problems. Loads of events such as secure and defend, planned battles, air battles, convoy attacks, road blocks, ambushes, man hunts etc..

Yea thats my gear you got! lol Had a rough couple of days for our faction, massive base with 40 + vehicles compromised and destroyed - several chopper battles where we took a few casualties and lost gear and then I get tagged in the middle of nowhere after logging in lol You missed the majority of the event last night too. THings heated up about 9:30pm when the main bulk of the Ravens and Lone wolves assaulted the stadium we were holding. We lost 4 guys but killed 9 or so and held the position.

Private hives fixed hackers but killed the *real* dayz game. I remember times when I would only see vehicles pass by rarely. And I would be like WOW that must be fun. To fix a vehicle up yourself was very, very difficult and there was only a handful of them to go around. I think it was roughly 25 total. My favorite server at the moment (balota buddies) has become a nightmare. You have extra barracks at NE and NW and loads of choppers. Teams of people flying around at every server restart farming heli crashes and odds are that if you kill someone they will ask the chopper guys for a pickup after respawn and will immediately attack your last known position. I know there are many variables in this but for me the immersion is dead and gone. I shall wait for the standalone.

So I spotted some jokers at Krutoy Cap (2 swimming over to Skalisty out of my m16's range), myself and Papa went stealth mode and killed 3 (less than skilled) players chilling with a HMMWV and a Sandy off-road next to the light house. In the fight Papa gets rogered by a lil' guy with a shotgun before I take his head off. I grab some gear and make a retreat along the coast before being peppered with DMR shots knocking me out before I died. Obviously a gaggle of 'noobs' gets the job done... I respawn and I'm 20 metres south of my body... I run north to spot the DMR hooligan only for him to ignore my abuse I hurl at him over direct comms as he shoots me once more... The server restarts a minute later, ensuring their gear was lost. So after a few hours I decide to explore Skalisty island... why else would they be swimming over? I check every rock for tents as the kids these days think they're the cool place to hide tents. Jackpot. I find a bunch of tents wedged in rocks like physics didn't exist. Finding myself a lovely looking M14 Aim and some other bits and pieces I continue on to find the PBX. The owners it should be said, fucking love to collect vehicle components, considering they can't shoot anything I guess fixing vehicles is their thing. Later on, it got dark (this is quite normal on an evening) and I got presented with some NVGs from my group and went to Stary Sobor spotting a burning helicopter in the distance to the south. By then there was a group of 4 of us all with fairly decent equipment. As I carelessly run towards the possible loot on the chopper Andy spots a ghillie in the forest to the east, checking the player list there's only the dicks from earlier so ... hunting begins. Andy takes out the ghillie and we watch for more players, as we spot nothing I attempt to get to the body. As I reach the tree line I spot 2 players, my team proceeds to distract them by shooting from a distance as I use their M14 on them to get some murders. They proceeded to rage quit the server. Thanks for the gear Inglourious Bastards - and yes I did hear your 4th player make hasty retreat in your vehicle.

I agree that the "24/7 daylight, 200+ vehicles, custom loadout" title is way too common in the server browser. It's the reason why I haven't bothered playing DayZ myself for the past 2-4 months. But luckily I still have the forums to stay active on while waiting for the Standalone.

I think it is because a very large majority of the player base are bandits and bandits can not mobilize tons of people at once in an orderly and safe fassion without vehicles, and they are too afraid to play the game without their 10 snipers watching over them as they take 1 step forward.
