Exact same thing happened last night.. weird. I logged out, and checked my map because I thought maybe the new hotfix caused this bug. I figured the broken bone was for some reason keeping from eating so I needed to get some Morphine. I could run around no problem and not bleeding, but had a broken bone symbol, and could not eat with the same message that would pop up about vehicles. It kicked in when I got shot at by a bandit, who missed.. but I was attacking a Zed so I thought the Zed must have got me somehow. After I logged back in all was well.. except I missing my loot from the last 5 minutes before I logged out.

Many new additions and we've gained some regular players who really like what's happening on this server. Great new base added on Mt Peligra and a new factory added east of Calamar. Upgraded to Lingor 1.3 so zombies attack vehicles and spawn while your inside vehicles/aircraft. And don't forget the Apaches and Little Birds! Looking forward to improving our rankings... see you soon!

Shit server, I take back what I said earlier. The admins cheat, they have hackers. unkinhead has god mode/esp/zombie kill when close. Awful server. The shop is fake, they just spawn all the gear. Admin maps to find vehicles, it's just one big fuck up.

We have just added 'tow' That means you can now tow vehicles.

Just looking for a group of people to play with that are somewhat active. I've played DayZ since last summer but decided to give it a rest for a few updates. Everybody I used to play with seems uninterested with the mod, so here I am, looking for a new group of people to make a camp, drive some vehicles, collect guns and just basically survive with. My Skype: matthew.holman6 Please contact me through skype for a response.

Haha me and my group do have a pretty good time on your server, I just wish tents werent bugged im wondering if theres a way to solve that issue it seems that only items from tents that were set out before the old patch are bugged is there a way to clear all those items so it's a fresh system? Maybe that would solve the tent issues... ISSUE: take items from a tent that may/may not have been from the last or older patches in the server... When placed in your new tent the items will despawn back into the tent u looted it from every restart... If you use vehicles to store the items then the old tents dupe the items... Just a server issue we ran into while on BEANZ =p Good jobs Props keep up the good work m8

When I play lone wolf I play as a friendly and usually stay more up in the northern and western parts of the map. I will only fire at someone if they are a direct threat. I'll even heal a bandit but with a lot of caution. When I play with my squad I usually go as the driver or I am the spotter/assault medic for the group. I'm definitely more inclined when with the group because we generally have vehicles and high end gear.

It's not only possible but has been done. Most old railways didn't have specialized equipment they could order from one company, so their shops made their own equipment a lot from stuff laying around. That 'speeder' you showed as an example, theres also the 'famous' galloping geese that the Rio Grande made, was just an old truck or bus connected to either a passenger car or boxcar and the tires replaced with flanged wheels. As long as the wheels were set to the right gauge (4'8 1/2" for American Standard Gauge, I think Russian gauges can get up to 5' or bigger depending on where it is), there's actually stories of GIs replacing the tires of their jeeps with wheels salvaged from destroyed rolling stock in Europe and using them as makeshift switching/shunting vehicles during the rebuilding process Post-WW2. MADAFAKA! But seriously, if that were to happen you'd just jump off the handcar and hope that it isn't completely destroyed or derails the larger loco somehow. In real life if you had enough time you could derail the handcar and get clear of the tracks, wait for the train to pass, and rerail it (they're fairly light, the one I use I have to stand in the middle so I don't end up see-sawing it) (incase anyone's intrested or too lazy to use google http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galloping_Goose_(railcar) )

added more vehicles...

I am reasonably happy with my server so far after 3 months, it runs on the vilayer hive so it's not full blown private but a good medium I think. I took over the 'trickery.net' name from another guy from our community who has got himself snowed under with work so we made a fresh start with me running it 3 months ago. The first month we had a few problems and vilayer recognized this and added a week to our rental, fair play to them. I log on this morning to see the server down, go into ACP to see 'server status: unknown' so I raised a ticket to see what is going on. ok fair enough but an email warning of this happening would have been nice. Do other providers do this alot? what alternatives are there for a similar service? (UK) I'm not sure we want to go full on private, I am quite happy being on the vilayer public hive. during the 3 months we do seem to have had a bit of downtime and hive related problems (tents/vehicles/spawning on the coast) but much of that seemed to be resolved (apart from the server doesn't spawn anywhere near as many vehicles as we would like, even after running out of bounds clear up and create vehicle scripts in admin control panel) I'm not totally unhappy with vilayer but on the flipside I am trying to build up a player base and just as we get a new group of players something like this happens (last time it was moving onto a new hive followed by stuff not saving) Just want to hear a bit of feedback from other players who made the move to another provider, or have a similar service from another provider :)

Dayz server looking for active players 20+ Heli's 250+ Vehicles custom load out with active admins. were looking for more players to play on our server to create a more attractive and active environment to improve the game experience for everyone. Admins and owner are open to suggestions and ideas for improvements on the server. Server info:DayzChernarus - (1.7.6.1/102285) Private Hive UK (Regular)Custom Loadout [20+ Heli's][250+ Vehicles] 3 Hour Restarts Day Only Active Admins/Obama Server IP:5.63.147.180:3272

If you wouldn't mind informing me, can you direct me on how it works for cars, AND heli's? I've never used to script before. Also, will locking vehicles work again soon?

During the day I'm generally careless of stealth within towns, simply because of how hard it can be, I'm not very friendly and I will kill another player if they are of any threat to me at all. I do steal from other players tents and vehicles, but I will leave them with some items as a way of thanking them for choosing such a bad hiding spot for their belongings. However, during the night I'm more cautious of being seen by zombies and other players, I generally don't kill other people because I know it can be difficult to see me. I rarely have player to player contact at night, so kills and deaths at night are rare. Also I do prefer to do all of this on my own.

It seems they have solved the laging proboem. Since so far no lags and i think the admin put some new vehicles....

[uPDATED] Release [v0.74] Namalsk 1.7.5.1 Hardcore. Filter IOGC in DayZ Commander or use 188.138.122.37:2303 No 3rd person. (Switch off headbob ffs) :) No crosshairs. No tags. No death messages. EVR and Stalkers are active. GMT-6 Standard loadout/vehicles with a few tweaks (Railgun is out). Dedicated hardware with robust anti-cheat protection: BEC and Ant-HAx. Active Admins. Live stats that show your humanity: http://iogc.co.uk/stats/namalsk/ (if you die your stats get wiped). Any issues like lost gear, suspected scripters etc, then posting on our forums you will get a quick response. There are extremely few servers who opt for this mode - only the toughest or most deranged survive. We are currently getting 10-20 players consistently in the evenings UK time, which is just about right for this map. Our connection is solid and we often have players from North America, Western and Eastern Europe. . We've been hosting games for 6 years now, with a focus on military sims (not exclusively - we play anything good) with Arma being at the forefront. We have our own TS server, website and active forums at www.iogc.co.uk. We'd happy to have you onboard if you like the look of us - always looking for non-idiot mature new members to play on Namalsk. We age from 18 to 57.

Thanks. Server vehicles, discussion takes, probably never will be ;)

Then we must eliminate the ability to adjust the view degrees. Everyone must have the exact same view angles in order to keep the honest man honest. But they need to make the mirrors in the vehicles functional, cause backing up a Ural is quite the bitch from first person.

Cheers Allie, There was an issue with tents and vehicles but have they been sorted and everything should be working fine now

I feel a lot of people dont get what I meant by this topic. I'm looking for some fresh excitement in a server, a breath of fresh air. I've got good gear and I can only use it on zombies... Two or three hours in the game I had nothing to do but sit between the tree's and wait for someone to show up. I even travelled 5-10 km to find someone, on 3-5 different servers. No camping sites, no vehicles, no people. Its just boring. I've seen videos from like, Frankie or JackFrags and they see so much people its insane, I'm happy if I see a goat -.-..

Tired of KoS? Do something about it! Lately there have been many threads and lots of discussion on KoS. It's not getting anywhere, both sides in the argument claim they are right and both sides make up stuff that isn't necessarily true about the other just to "win the argument". The arguments generally boil down to this for the respective sides: Bandits, KoS kiddies and PvP crowd The other side doesn't know how to PvP. It's part of the game, deal with it. Crying about it isn't going to stop it from happening. Go play another game if you don't like it. Friendlies, Heroes, Medics, PvE/PvZ crowd The other side doesn't know how to PvP. They are ruining the game. Go north if you want PvP. Go play CoD/BF3, this is DayZ. I am not taking sides here in this thread. That's the core arguments about KoS from each side. I consider myself to be a Bandit/KoS "kiddie" and PvP person and i have tried to remedy the situation in the past. As much as i enjoy the cries and outrage from those i kill i also consider myself reasonable. I want them to succeed, learn from their mistakes and become better players as much as anyone else. I just don't like the friendly approach. I don't want to cuddle someone and carry them on my back hoping they learn from what i tell them. I want them to learn from experience as that (IMHO) is worth more than a thousand words. Now, to the bread and butter of this post/thread. Survivor: "I don't like KoS and i want it to go away!" Fair enough... What have you done about it so far? I haven't seen much done about it really aside from a couple of rage induced posts on these forums. I feel posting about your loss is entirely the wrong way to go as Bandits and KoS players alike (me included) will feed on your complaints, rage and tears. It has the opposite effect because the killers get recognition and a sense of achievement from your posts. I am not saying this is always the case, some may change their minds based on your complaints and think in other ways, doing less KoS as a result. But in total your postings will have the opposite effect. The one thing i haven't seen too much of is ACTION. Words is not the same thing as action mind you... What can i do to reduce KoS??? There are a number of approaches you can take and depending on how YOU want to play not all of these will be applicable to you. But at least one or two should be! What follows is an index of some possible actions you can take, after that i will go in depth on what each item on the list entails. Shoot them yourself. (PvP) Ask someone else to shoot them. (Get an assasin for the "cause") Join a group of players to kill them. (PvP with others) Become a warmonger. (Entice others to go to war against the offenders for the "cause") Fund a war. (Give out weapons, ammo and resources for others to fight a war) Become a warlord. (PvP with a group of players against the offenders but as a leader of a bigger group) Ignore it. (Do nothing at all, avoid it) 1. Shoot them yourself. (PvP) This is (IMHO) the least likely option for many reasons but if you want to retaliate on your own terms i will not deny you that and will encourage you to do so as you will learn a whole lot from the experience. The reason you are less likely to succeed is because it's you against many and you will have a hard time keeping up with them all in terms of weaponry and time. You will become the lone warrior, a guerrilla if you'd like. You will hit them when they least expect it and do as much damage to them as you possibly can. Your biggest obstacle will be that they too are like a guerrilla force. They will move (contrary to popular belief) and will blend in to the environment and you can't at a glance differentiate them from other players. Beyond that, you killing them once will have little impact since they will come back and gear back up rather quickly. They will learn from their mistakes and will have their spirits lifted as they are back in the game. They will enjoy you killing them unless you manage to kill them over and over again. Now, i am not saying it's impossible and there are many things you can do to increase the odds in your favor, should you choose to take this path. Get a good sniper rifle. (AS50 is preferred above all others due to it's low noise level, high accuracy and superior stopping power but any less will still do fine) Find a ghillie suit. (Easier said than done but without one you will be killed easily) Announce your intentions! (WHAT?!? No really, if they feel insecure you have landed the first blow, they will be paranoid all the time and will be scared to move about as freely as they did before) Pay attention to the side chat (should it exist) and gather intel on the bastards. (If someone suffers KoS, ask him for details. Get into a skype convo with the victim if you can. The less they know of what you know, the better!) Once geared up, stay near the coast but let NO ONE know where you are. (Be within walking distance of Cherno/Elektro at all times. The longer it takes you to get to them, the less likely you are to find them.) CAMP ALOT! (Your best bet is to be invisible and lie in wait for them to move about. Find the best vantage points into the twin cities and wait for them to make a move then strike) Once you engage and possibly kill one of them, don't stick around! (The last thing you want to do is let them flank you and kill you.) The one thing no list can help you with though is EXPERIENCE. You will never become good at PvP if you don't actively engage in it. If you don't have a sniper rifle and ghillie yet you are better off fighting in close quarters for a while to learn the ropes. Learn to think like them, learn to play on equal terms with them and your sniping career will be much more rewarding. When you get good at it, the KoS crowd will start to fear you. As a result, their activity will diminish as they now take more precautions before shooting an unarmed player. All of this of course depends entirely on what YOU want to do. Most "anti KoS" players are against PvP alltogether and as a result will not chose this path in the first place. 2. Ask someone else to shoot them. (Get an assasin for the "cause") This is very similar to the first option except you are not the lone warrior. Someone else is! You really don't have to do much at all, if you know something about the offenders then tell the server about it. Or... At this point you have a number of options... Go solo PvP to retaliate. (Section one in the "what to do list") Offer assistance to others wanting to kill them. (Join them on skype and help them with intel, scouting and/or equipment) (3, 4 and 5 on the "todo list") Entice others to join the "cause". (Become a warmonger, item 4 on the "todo list") Do nothing more, just tell the details and move on. The last thing you want to do here is engage in a long conversation with them about how wrong it is to KoS. Just tell the details and ask for assistance or retaliation from others. Be mature about it and others will take you seriously. (assuming they trust your intel) 3. Join a group of players to kill them. (PvP with others) This is obviously based on trust for all involved. Normally you should seek to team up with other "less armed" players and form a counter squad. You will need good communication (Skype, Teamspeak etc) with the others in the group or you are bound to fail before you start. Unlike the solo PvP option, you will focus on sheer force. Grab whatever weapons you can come by and rely on intel from others. Strike the bastards down and split up or stay together. Some things you can do as a group: Have a decoy to lure attention away from the rest of the group. (Make noise to lure the bastards in) Use a target dummy that will be fired upon. (The longer he survives the better, he needs to know how to dodge bullets! The rest of the group will flank or return fire) Use scouts that survey the area and provide intel as well as possible cover fire. (should he have a sniper rifle etc) Cover larger areas in shorter timeframes as well as lock down certain regions. Some things to consider: Bad communications are a recipe for distaster. ("Where are you?" ... "I don't know." ... "Is that you?" ... "I am near a house" ... "But this guy is in a house" ... "Where?" ... "I don't know, i am going to shoot him!" ... "Wait, i am in a house now" ... "What weapon did you have?" ... "Uhh, a rifle..." ... "This guy has an AK, i am shooting now" ... *bang bang* ... "Aaaah, someone is shooting me from the school" ... "I am in the school!" ... "I am shooting back" ... "No, that's me!" ... "But he is shooting me?!?" ... "Ok?" ... "Oh well, i am dead anyways.") Good communications can have great results. ("I am on the school roof" ... "Ok, i am at the hospital" ... ... "I see zombies running to the east" ... "Ok, i will get on the hospital roof" ... "The zombies are running to the store" ... "I am on the hospital roof now, looking at the store entrance" ... "I see a guy in the store, he has a bandit skin" ... "Good, what weapon does he have?" ... "I can't tell, he is running around too much" ... "Ok, keep an eye on him." ... "He exited through the back of the store" ... "I see more zombies running to the west. They are moving towards the school." ... "Ok, the bandit is running into the school now too!" ... "I see another player, he is unarmed in survivor clothes and going into the school!" ... *RATATATA* ... "Shots from the school, sounded like an AK74" ... "Ok, keep watch!" ... "I see the bandit, he is moving to the second floor. The other guy is dead!" ... "Shoot the bandit if you can" ... "Taking the shot." ... *BAM* ... "He is dead! I'll cover you while you take his stuff. Don't forget to bury the bastard!") Always keep track of each other, the moment you don't know where the others are situations can arise where you have to do needless talking to confirm each others locations. Always inform the rest of the group what you are doing and where you are going and do it for every re-positioning you do. Share everything! Got spare food? Divide it among the group induvidials. Having to go back to another player to feed him is only going to increase the chance of you being spotted and will take extra needless time. Have clear roles, "I am the sniper", "I am the looter", "We are the assault team", "I am the coordinator", "I don't know this game that well", "I am hungry", "I am the intelligence officer", "I am the driver". Have clear goals... "We are going to Cherno to look for KoS bastards." ... "When we get there we will take up positions on the roofs while the looters gather food and medical supplies." ... "We will all meet up in the farm north of Cherno if we need to retreat or we are moving out". Nobody is saying playing as a group is easy in PvP. You learn through experience and your targets are likely to have more experience than you. Your ultimate goal is to make life HELL for them. The more they have to worry about you, the less time they will spend shooting unarmed players. Just like with solo PvP, this isn't for everyone. There are other options! 4. Become a warmonger. (Entice others to go to war against the offenders for the "cause") Another one of those "easy approaches" as you don't have to do anything really. Just encourage others to fight the fight for you while you go about doing your own thing. I can't really say much else about it. I have done it myself, AGAINST MYSELF. So here's a little story about what happened: So yes, being the warmonger can be surprisingly effective! And it should be right up you complainers alley! 5. Fund a war. (Give out weapons, ammo and resources for others to fight a war) If you are a lone wolf who does nothing but farm gear every day to store it in tents scattered around the map then this option is perfect for you! What are you going to do with all that gear anyways? It's just sitting in tents waiting for some bandit to come and collect and destroy the rest anyways. Gather weapons, gear and vehicles that you give to others who are fighting the war on KoS for you. Strength in numbers is one thing, being well supplied is a whole other. If you provide your services to the men and women on the ground so they can focus on killing bandits then you are a vital asset to the "cause". If there is one thing a KoS player hates it's snipers. So give out sniper rifles to the good guys and watch the KoS mentality shatter as they will feel they are being watched at all times by the counter KoS, well equipped players everywhere. 6. Become a warlord. (PvP with a group of players against the offenders but as a leader of a bigger group) Dream on... ... ... Seriously though, if you manage to get the server under your control against KoS i am going to join that server right away just for the challenge. A would love for you to succeed and maybe one day someone will. And i would love to be the target on a server like this. Hunted by everyone everywhere. 7. Ignore it. (Do nothing at all, avoid it) By far the laziest approach and the least effective... But for you it may work best, who knows? What you need to do is stay away from all possible player contact. Play on empty servers, stay far into the wilderness. Leave no trace of your existence and keep your mouth shut. If you see another player press ESC -> ALT+F4 and go on another server for the day. Rage quit as you realize you are not having any fun at all. It was bound to happen later anyways as DayZ is not for you. ---------------------------------- Thanks for reading!

I mean it fully as a jury rig setup. And one company has mounted a remote control M16 with a betamag clip ontop of its vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thata a lot more sophisticated than my idea and yes LMGs are better suited to be mounted weapons but still, use what you've got. I mean shit the Syrian Rebels were stealing rocket pods from downed helicopters and mounting them on their technicals and firing the damn thing with a jumper cable and car battery

The LMGs are more suitable because vehicles with those type of attachmentsalready exist. Assault rifles are not mounted in any vehicle

That's what I'm talking about. I was on 3-4 different servers, and NOTHING, literally, nothing. I have a sniper, a good gun and a neat amount of food, but it gets boring after a while if you don't have any human contact at all. Ive seen people play on servers where guys help each other fix choppers and ride around in vehicles looting stuff. But I haven't seen a chopper crash in a week, a car I haven't seen in 2 weeks not to mention I haven't seen a chopper in a month. Slowly its getting boring. Also, I cant find any servers with 100 players(lol) mind giving me an IP?
