Ok, the last picture is indeed what at my end is called "objects_spawn" here is an overview of my database, please note that there are more tables then used in my database because i'm also testing version 1.7.5 Uploaded with ImageShack.us So it seems your "instance_vehicle" is as my "Object_spawn", this table needs to have at least 100 entries when you want to spawn 100 vehicle, every vehicle has its own spawn location( you can't just spawn 2 choppers on the same coordenates) So we now only need to find the little script that spawns the stuff. Actually, there is one more table that needs to be altered, for me it is called "object_classes", see picture, we need to edit the amount of each vehicle that can spawn. "MaxNum" its called in my table. Your table will probably be "vehicles", just see if it looks like my table(again, there might be some small differences) Again, we now only need to find the script ........

Wonderful people of 3TOG, I've searched far and wide for the most realistic DayZ server out there, and this one is very promising. That coupled with your rolepaying elements, is what makes this my favorite DayZ server. Just a few things I think to be done to make it a more realistic experience. I'm not trying to tell you guys how to run your server here, just throwin' in my two cents. 1. Make guns and ammo much less common. Civilian guns are much too easy to find. They pop up like candy with default DayZ loot tables. They should be something you really have to search for, as they would be in real life. That being said, military grade arms should be significantly reduced in the loot tables 2. When it comes to vehicles, 100 is a little much. In an apocalypse setting, working vehicles and parts to repair them would be hard to come by. 30-50 maybe? Enough for everyone, but not overly accessible. 3. Canned food and soda.. is everywhere.. Making that less prominent in the loot tables certainly wouldn't hurt. I read in a previous post on this thread "a hunting knife and a water bottle should be the most valuable items in the game" or something like that.. I definitely agree. 4. Edit starting gear. Spawn with only: Flashlight, bandages. Tough, tough, I know. But again, for the realism! 5. I would say keep 3rd person on as an option.. IRL humans have 160 degrees of vision, and with 1st person you only get 90. Also, you have a feel for what's directly around you in the real world, not so much in an FPS. Keep up the good work! -AnonSurvivor

I joined this server looking for something to do, you start with NVGs, GPS, Map, most of the items and a M9SD, fair enough, takes some early game challenge out but WTH I'll give it a shot, admins are constantly checking their admin panel to guide players to vehicles, there is then an in game message to head to a town to get geared up, so I make the trek there and find a weapons crate, just like the ones hackers spawn in, filled to the brim with guns and ammo. I mention this in side chat and get told "fuck off if you don't like it" fair enough, it's their server, so fuck off I did once they kicked me for saying "Fuck me for wanting some challenge in DayZ right?". Enjoy your server guys, you're little better than hackers in my eyes. I'll go play on a server run by people who like a little challenge and can handle criticism a bit better.

Cricket cricket.... SO I've been going back and forth with Gameservers.com and they have no idea other than re-install... I don't want my players to lose their stuff so I'm not really ok with that... First I went around and destroyed ALL the vehicles... not every single one but damn near... (luckily enough hacker had spawned a hacker box with 50 of everything so I saved a all the satchel charges for rainy days (I use them mainly to blow up hacked vehicles and hacker camps (I fly around the map so I can't drive over the tents)) So that seemed to work, but the first time I did it I only did the ones at the spawns.... I'm not sure if it was the next day or what, but there was another busy day on the server and hackers crashed just about every vehicle on the map. After the next restart the double spawns started, Two of every vehicle where the original and the hacked one's had been destroyed... weird thing is the legit ones have the proper damage and spawn contents (Mt. Dews in Mi17's, Ammo/grenades in UAZ, tents in ATV's etc etc) but the hacked ones had NO contents and SOME damage but all had a little bit of gas so you could hop on and go.... First time I noticed this I was going to move some, but they were spawned on top of each other and lots ended up either blowing up themselves or making the other one bounce off it and blow up as soon as I got in... I almost died like 5 times... other times they just separated fine and the hack one could drive off... I blew them all up hoping it would correct itself after stopping the server for a couple of minutes and doing a restart.. No luck. I've moved almost all the vehicles I know the spawn points for and freaking drove them to the corners of the map and damaged the crap out of them... it's prob. the most rediculously PITA thing I've ever had to do though.... I run to a vehicle, HOPE it doesn't kill me when I get in, use parts I've saved to fix it, and then drive it 3-5k into the woods and shoot the shit out of it... like 2 out of 10 have gotten destroyed half way or more into the journey or while I'm shooting them to damage. So they just respawn again... It's making me totally insane that I have to spend every minute of time I have to play running and moving vehicles I will then never use again as they're not legit lol... but I don't know what else to do... ANYONE SMART PLEASE HELP!!!!

Man you joined the mod a little late, I haven't launched DayZ since July because job/girlfriend/lack of time in general, but back in may/june it was perfect. I mean everyone was excited and when I first heard of a hacker, it was only rumours like someone said on chicago server or whatever they heard someone who had a friend who saw the whole server being killed and I couldn't just believe it... and slowly it became worse and worse and more servers were being insta killed and I stopped playing. My point is, like you said the mod in itself is wonderful, the kind of interactions it can provide with other players is something that I never experienced in gaming before, for instance I had a 2 man squad with an unknown guy and became friends and we saved each other countless times, got our hands on the best night vision high end stuff and started to raid clan's camp, stealing vehicles then trying to hide it, and those stories when we came across a group of hippies in the woods in vans and buses lol, and when those same pacifists guys got attacked by a clan of bandits on motorbike and they chased us for hours and then there was a total misunderstanding and me and my friend got accused and then it all went to shit and we had to go on a long raid north to have revenge .. And after a long day of scavenging to find fuel or car parts, you find yourself sitting around that campfire in the dark night, lonely with the weight of all those days of surviving that could be gone at the first bullet, shivering at the slightest noise, and this other time when I heard in the distance the sound of a UAZ, near stary sobor, at dawn, and just had the time to dive in a bush and saw all those bandits armed to the teeth heading for the helo crash I was 5 min before that, and now I'm just holding my breath in those damn bushes, waiting for the right time to move... tl:dr : just to say you really got in the game too late, I feel sorry for you :( EDIT : Fixed incredibly long and dense wall of text

We are NextStepGaming short for (NSG), We run a server that we just started that has very nice and active admins.... and custom loadouts. Also 200+ vehicles on the map at all times and 24/7 daylight. We also do a donating system, If you donate lets say 5$ you will have a chance to get a really nice custom loadout or if you donate higher then that you can become a admin, The choice is your's. Server info: NextStepGaming(NSG)DayZChernarus Server IP: 50.23.131.238 Port: 3051 Say hi if you {NSG} BushWookie in game, anyways happy trails xD!

This is what is in routine: Here is instance_vehicles, it just gives you the list of vehicles currently on the server and their loadout: I too have NaviCatLite, I just prefer this because it is done in your web browser. Even using it though, there is no PMain.

Me and the clan now own a 50 slot private Hive. We are in need of a few clans in our server to keep it active and create a community. We dont mind if you kill us, work with us or just play on our server but we will look after you in terms of admin control and will trust all the clans that play on our server. We are looking to have a mix of both Bandit and Hero clans on our server to keep rivalry and clan wars active. My Skype is Thomas.Kingswood The servers IP is : 146.185.20.210 PORT : 3255 Feel free to contact me on Skype if your interested or pop in the server and have a little play around. The server isn't very populated at the moment so the sooner you join and get a base set up the better. The server is hosted in the UK but is 24/7 daylight with custom starting gear and more vehicles. Thanks for reading and i hope to see you and your clan join our community and server soon! UK 2402 [OtterStorm] Clan Server - [24/7 Daylight][GMT+0][Custom Starting Gear][100+Vehicles][Regular]

I've got this great idea :) let's make vehicles MORE difficult to get (even though there's fuck all).

Server Name : Team Nemesis Me and my clanmates have found that with Active friendly admins and gotcha ac dayz is alot of fun again so we migrated back and we were having alot of fun until the Admins on the servers we were playing on decided to play dirty , teleport people to our location , teleport us away from their base , use their tools to track us ect ect. So we decided to host our own server, we run a medic service, we avoid hitting others camps, and all of the vehicles are virtually untouched we did not want to horde them up like most private owners do we want to give the community ( new players and veterans alike ) a place where they can play and enjoy dayz until the standalone comes out on a fair playing field. Come join us and Happy Hunting 50 man server 75+ vehicles 24/7 Daylight 10+ Crash sites Custom Loadouts ( Open to suggestions ) Friendly Admins / NO ADMIN ABUSE Server Name : Team Nemesis IP Addy : 173.192.200.119 : 3153

there's just not enough vehicles/planes at all.

Keys are fine but they would have to be limited the server to limit traffic ( imagine 1000 servers with 100 vehicle each and imagine how much traffic that would cause for the hive with all the players connecting and disconnecting ) every key needs a specific ID so you can't just hop to another server and use it on a similar vehicle and the same applies to all vehicles...traffic...lag....waiting for character to create...

Taviana is in my opinion the best map. It's 3 times the size of chernarus, every town or city has something interesting or useful, there are more enterable buildings in each city, there are more new enterable buildings, there are more landmarks/objects, there are more military sites...... it's just a much better and more interesting map than chernarus. We run a server with 400 vehicles (daily restarts/loot re spawns too) with our own 2 clan factions (1 bandit, 1 friendly) running around killing each. We're looking for lone wolves, bandits and survival groups to get in on the fun - check it out , you won't be disappointed!

Most vehicles now fixed again, more SUV/HMMWV have been added.

This is not the correct location you are looking in, this is the default SQL stuff. You should look for the procedure "PMain" it should look some like this : But this is not all !!!! If you want 100 vehicles to spawn, all these vehicles need to be in the database too, this is done in the "object_spawn" TABLE, every spawnpoint needs to be in there. Sample of "object_spawn" Table SQL : So again, if you want to spawn 100 vehicles you need to change the "PMain" procedure to spawn 100 times and you have to have at least 100 entries in the "object_spawn" Table

The community is consistent and stable though though and increasing (long term server, not a monthly thing so it's not going anywhere)which makes for some great games. I'd say It's a comfortable size of players presently, especially given how experienced and dangerous many of the players are - you don't really want to be bumping into them on every street corner but busy enough to still find some action. Also the number of vehicles means you can nip around the map relatively quickly to find/hunt/avoid players. You may be looking at the wrong server if you say it requires a password though as our isn't locked (just has a good amount of admins)......

Just a couple of minor tweaks I'd like to see made to the mod (and hopefully the game), I've suggested them at different intervals over the last 9 months (as well as other people suggesting most of them too) but thought it might be a good time to repost them now as they wont be lost in a sea of posts any more and there are likely to be more community driven development releases of the mod; - Water canteens. These, in my opinion, should have 2-3 drinks in them, i.e. it should be the same as carrying 3 can, but still only take up one slot. To balance this out they should be a bit more rare and spawn only around military/hunting spawns. Presently they are more of a hassle to get refilled (for a single drink) and not worth the effort as sodas are so easy to find. - Paper & Pen. The amount of times I'd like to be able to leave a note or a message for other players and not been able to is silly - ok so it's only been a handful of times, but still it would be useful! May not be that popular but I think it would be useful, especially if you're on a clan server and want other clan members know which camps are yours. - Scavenging Parts fro other vehicles. Just seems like common sense to me that since you can put parts on a vehicle you should be able to take parts off them! - Vehicle tow/storage - Just as in Wasteland, you should be able to tow vehicles and store small vehicle s(bikes/motor bikes) in the back of bigger vehicles - Structure building - again as in wasteland this would be a fantastic feature to build structures however they should need individual parts scavenging first rather than ready made large structures. - Magazines and ammo separate. I dont think this is possible in the current engine but i think you should have to scavenge magazines and ammunition for weapons separately, making it more difficult to source high grade weapons and making you more mindful of how you use them. - Remove night vision goggles. Not going to be popular but I remember playing the mod when it was first released and you were forced to play on night servers, this was fun as everyone was at the same level in the dark. I think leaving the range finders and night vision scopes in is fine as there are limitations to these and they work better as a compromise . - Start with no back pack. Add extra storage that can be combined (Czech vest +back pack, add drop leg pouches etc). - Add helmets/hats/Crash helmets - More player skins that spawn in the same way as camo and chilli suits. - More breakable bones. The engine is supposed to be capable of dealing with nearly every bone in the body of the characters, this should be used in a better injury system. For example, shooting someone in the arm would break it and not allow them to use their weapon. - Head torches. - Make matches have a set number of uses - Molotovs cocktails - Add cigarettes/alcohol as a means of slightly increasing humanity (sharing with other survivors to signify "friendlies") - Add Caravettes (RV's) - Mortars would be nice, only available from military loot. - Fishing rods (for sourcing food from the sea) - Camo netting - baseball bats, hammers, knight sticks etc - used for breaking bones or stunning players - Stun grenades and zip ties. For stunning players and restraining them for limited periods of time

There are several ways Trains/rail vehicles could go (Trust me, I'm an Engineer...well Brakeman in training really...). First of all large locomotives and long trains would be very difficult, and considering the coast is single track mainline with only a few sidings there would be a lot of conflicts/collisions. If I had any choice there would be: 1 small road engine/switcher (operator) with a boxcar (lotta gear carrying) and normal/transfer caboose (passengers, some gear) (The one sitting on the docks in Cherno would be a good example of this minus the caboose) 1-2 RDCs or whatever the Post Soviet equivilant would be (think the rail bound version of a bus, LOTS of passenger room and some gear) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd_Rail_Diesel_Car 1-2 Speeders (small track inspection vehicles, the one Im fimilar with is is basically just a picnic table on wheels with an engine, simple throttle and breaks) 3 small handcars (i know these VERY well, one man can actually get them working solo and get up a good speed, think of it as an old bike) make easy to repair, and able to derail/rerail without too much trouble so they can easily be moved out of the way of a larger train Clearing tracks would be the biggest problem IMO, since there's a lot of debris in key places and trains are actually fairly easy to derail despite what most people think. There would have to be some way to clear roadblocks and such manually unless they make the map so that the rails are clear. Also since its a single track mainline, the other rail vehicles will be a problem, you'd have to put the RDC on a siding someplace (assuming its in working order, then you'll have to fix it) OR you would have to VERY slowly push it (at least at first and only if you have something bigger/stronger than what your pushing) to where you want. Repair parts and fuel would have to be high, say 4 engine parts for the Road Engine.

Sideteam after a rather successful night of collecting vehicles. Sideteam is our "special ops" Heilcopter, Sniper and secondary ops. They get deployed early, scout and report in to primary operations, if a threat they can easily elimante is identified for example in convoy security. They will take them out and insure the mission. Side team is a very important role in how we do things. -Tom

I am actually interested. my name is lincoln im 16 yrs old i am very new (sorry about that) i tend to like to be the sniper or the rifleman whichever is needed favorite vehicles are the offroad pickup truck and the bike. my skype is lincolnhughes41 oh an i apologize for noobishness (got game two days ago) so i am basically the biggest bambi of them all.
