198.105.220.164 : 2462 DayZ.ST has finally set up 2017 on their service, and I am in the process of switching my server over. For those that don`t know what 2017 is.. it`s basically a mod for DayZ that takes place 5 years after the current DayZ. No Military loot, emphasis on survival, `hobo` looking skins for players, vehicles, and backpacks. Less vehicles, rarer loot etc. More info can be found here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/117537-dayz-2017-new-release/ The server is currently down, but should be up soon(host doing some work). There will be Whitelisting, which you can apply for at http://dayz.austerror.com The website also has forums. There is also another non-2017 server which you will have access to by default as they share the same whitelist. A few changes I have done to the vehicle spawning myself are: -Removed Tanks from the spawn list -Added lots of vehicle spawn locations(not more vehicles, just a lot more random locations for possible spawns). -Placed more pedal bike spawns along the coast to help players get around(if you can find them). -Limited most vehicle spawns to 1 available at a time. With exceptions for motor bikes and a couple cars which have 2 available at a time. -Gyrocopter spawns moved to harder to find locations. Gyrocopters may be removed as well in the future if there are complaints about the noise, as they suffer from a similar problem as Tanks. You can hear them from so far away that it bothers some people to constantly hear them. Any other suggestions for changes to the server can be posted here or on the Austerror site. The website, whitelist, anti-hack, and other Austerror server are run by Menthol Brown. I take care of the very basic administration of the server I pay for. So a special thanks to Menthol for the work he does.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Many of the vehicles in game could be fairly easily converted as well. The Ural is the basis for a number of fire trucks, the S1203 is a basis for ambulances, and there is already a police car in ARMA. You could easily add multiple liveries for each vehicle.

Hey all, I'm looking for people who want to group up for an authentic DayZ experience. I really can't get into any of the other maps besides Chernarus, and private hives always give BS starting gear or are chock full of vehicles or have some pay to win donation thing going on. I'm just looking for the real and legit survival gameplay. Add me on steam: The Black Smoke. My only requirement is that you must not be a bandit.

Here are some things that shouldn't be implemented in the game, as they would make the game TOO realistic. If you have any other things to add on to my list, feel free to add them, and if they are good, I will quote it and give you credit. I will constantly add on the list too. The Big List Of Realism That Shouldn't Be Implemented 1. Having to go to the bathroom The Next Thing You Need To Do In A Zombie Apocalypse Is Have To Go Poop In A Lake (because if you don't, your poop scent will attract zombies :P) 2. Being able to completely undress People Running Through Cherno Naked With Chemlights Will Probably Become The Next Big Thing 3. Girls Getting There Periods ... :facepalm: 4. Having To Sleep And Wait A Few Hours For Your Character To Wake Up Also, your character will be vulnerable during your nap. 5. Daily Hygiene Issues (By Overlander35) Having to brush your teeth, put on deodorant, take daily baths in the lakes so your bad odor doesn't attract zombies, pop pimples, shaving, and more :P 6. Getting Sick Ok, so there are infections in the game, but imagine if you got a COLD. You would have to blow your nose* all the time, as though coughing every 2 seconds wasn't annoying enough. You would also probably have to find tissues to blow you nose in. If you got a flu, you wouldn't be able to move as fast, and you would probably have to sleep all day!!! While I am aware of them adding a lot more infections, they should make antibiotics a LOT less rare, so at least 1-2 per medical box. *Overlander35 came up with the blowing nose part 7. Sneezing (By Overlander35) You wouldn't be able to move while you are sneezing... you just hear it... and its louder than an M107 8. Realistic Vehicle Repairing Time Listen, I like the ability to be able to repair vehicles, but if it takes like 10 minutes to repair a wheel in real life, then you don't want to do that. Plus, you need to lift the car up so u can take the wheel off in the first place... 9. More Vehicle Repairs (Once again, by Overlander35) You have to put oil in your car, put water in your car, and fly your helicopter to a military base to properly repair it... 10. Bird and other animal Poop A friendly old bird flying over head was nice enough to take a big sh*t on your car... :facepalm: 11. Bugs Nobody likes bugs, so don't add misquotes in the game that will bite you unless you add in some good ol bug spray that is somewhat common 12. Make Ammo More Scarce (I actually support this, just don't make finding ammo impossible) Even though ammo is already rare, i'm not quite sure how I'm able to find 50 cal. rounds in a fire station. I'm pretty sure my local fire station doesn't have that. Ammo however is still really rare, so don't nerf the percentage of good loot TOO much!!! 13. Food Rotting And Expiration Dates We seriously do not need to deal with this... Atleast add ways to make the food last longer, and don't have the food rot when u are offline for over a week. However, if the food will rot after 1 day, then i seriously don't want to deal with this. 14. Stamina Don't pull a WarZ on us and make running time limited. Here is a comment that I love by Jonsse. Be sure to read the rest of his comment (It's on the 1st page) 15. Don't add Forest Fires Even though i did suggest these in a past post, I don't think they would be good, as one a-hole bandit could easily set a forest on fire with a match, and before you know it, you're lagging out because 50,000 trees are now burning. 16. Random Preexisting Medical Conditions (By BigMike) It'll really suck to have to carefully walk into Cherno to go grab Asthma medication or insulin. 17. Incurable Life Ending Diseases (An Add-On To #16) Cancer, HIV, ALS, etc. We don't need to deal with those 18. Crazy Hairdos and Character Customization Don't let your character give himself a mohawk and dye his hair pink. Keep characters looking normal. 19. Sex IDC if your character is a virgin, this really isn't necessary! IF YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE, SAY IT IN THE COMMENTS BELOW AND I MAY ADD IT!!!

THe funny part is you're probably a horrible shot, hence the reason you sit around shooting fresh spawns for bandages. And if you got a heli, congrats anyone who logs onto a 1400+ vehicles server will get one in 5 minutes.

I think the vehicle channel does enough for the loudness of the vehicles. It wouldn't be fair to set your vehicle volume to the lowest so you can hear other sounds while driving around. You should be less aware while near or in a vehicle. Also, note that while in 3rd person view it's louder than first person. (i'm assuming by vehicle meter you mean a slider in the audio options, if I'm wrong, I apologize but your post isn't very clear.)

I just purchased a HFBserver and I set the vehicle file to 1000 vehicles, but it is telling me I also have to change the limit in my database and I have no idea where to find that, I have looked everywhere and I cannot find where I go to change the limit. Here is a screen of what the database looks like, if someone can point out where I go and what to do, please do so, thanks!

We just started up the server there is another thread about us recruiting if you want to join sign up here http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/118352-nsg-next-step-gaming-recruiting/ . We have active admins we just started the server. We have a custom loadout, 24/7 daylight and 200+ vehicles. Server name: NextStepGaming(NSG)DayzChernarus IP:50.23.131.238:3051 Hope to see you there.

Sounds great! I read another topic that was talking about having to find car keys. I think it'd be good then again what if you lose those keys somehow? Maybe something like being able to use a coathanger as an example would help. Rocket has mentioned vehicles will undergo a lot of improvements in the Standalone. Not initially but overtime it will be accomplished. I wish you good luck with this topic and hopefully this idea will be considered :)

During the Expo for Day-Z, Rocket did a Q&A and one of them was about shooting out the car. Q(Audience Member): Playing through a large group of players and there's always a question that comes up through all of us is when were in vehicles like for instance when we found another group of people with vehicles and we get into a nice car chase and a time that it really ends is that someone screws up like crashing into a tree or a blockade but in the Standalone are you looking into implement shooting from vehicles like you're a driver sticking a pistol out the window or a friend going through the sunroof. Are you thinking of implementing things like that? A(Dean Hall; Rocket): Well I know with ArMA 2 there has been some community made mods and this is one of the -- Ordinary thing of ArMA 2 is that they have all these fantastic mods of which DayZ is just a small part. One of the mods shooting from vehicles; there are some real technical issues with it and I can't remember whether it was ever on the ArmA 3 list -- I'm not sure, I'll have to look at the press releases on that but it's not on the list of things to do at the moment but I think we want to look at vehicles a lot that'd require some code time to do it but it's definitely not on the list of things for the initial release. We just have to be realistic like the hacking and the duping. If we don't fix that, it doesn't matter how many awesome stuff we can put in. I think this is something we should look at once we fix the basic problems because I see vehicles at least until we get this uber player construction that we want done. The vehicles will be in-game content. Until we get that end there won't be best things that we want. Source:

I'd like to see firing out of windows. You could select the option "fire out window" from the scroll menu while in a vehicle. They could make it take longer to get larger weapons into action, and weapons like pistols or folding-stock rifles would be significantly quicker. It sucks having to get out of a vehicle to start shooting at people because you can be easily shot, and if you stay in the vehicle... you are easily shot. It would also be good for raids, chasing people down (including feeling vehicles) and quick getaways.

Looking for some more players to log on and enjoy all the vehicles laying around. Just about 5:00 here PST time to get in before the rush.

I always thought the fact that you cant shoot in or from a vehicle is sort of... bizarre, like, what if I wanted to shoot the driver in the head while we were driving from the passenger seat? Perhaps that isn't very fair, but eh, I don't know it could be kind of cool. But I think it would be very cool if players could lean out the passenger window and fire weapons at other players. like, you don't have to get out of a car to shoot a gun in real life, why in DayZ? But just imagine: You're driving down the road with your buddy and you see a truck coming down the road, in that truck, is a few bandits, hanging out the window and firing at a few bambis running into the woods. From their in-game mics you hear them laughing hysterically. Finally, your getting close to them, both you, and the bandits open fire on each other, You're leaning out the window with an AK-47 firing into the driver side as you pass them, and disable their vehicle, you see you killed the driver and that you took a round or two and are bleeding. Your buddy spins the car around and you head back towards the remaining bandits. As you approach you see that there are only two more, one of them passed out in the road and is being bandaged. As you approach you send a burst into the still standing bandit, killing him off. You're driver shifts the vehicle slightly, running over the unconscious bandit before you head back out on your way... I think this would add a great bit of fun to the game personally. Also, I was inspired by this video (just watch the beginning to get my inspiration.) If you're not in the mood at all and just want the gist, cut to 2:48.

DOUBLE VEHICLES HAVE JUST BEEN SPAWNED. ALOT MORE VEHICLES AROUND THE MAP! Be fast :)

I was on a 1500+ vehicle server recently and there must have been a hacker... even with 1500 vehicles I didn't expect to see 25 helicopters at Balota.

-SIN- Server is a new Rmod server looking to fill its room with good/ knowledgable players.Bandits and survivors are welcome but if you are in a clan (that runs a tag) then perks will be given. For 5 players running same tag 1 small heli will be granted to the clan fully repaired For 10 players running same tag 1 large heli will be granted to the clan in addition to the 1 small heli given for the perk prior For every 5 players running the same tag past 10 a vehicle of the clans choosing will be granted Doing this will hopefully get large numbers to remain on the server and help a clan in creating a base and moving their players in and out of areas quickly thus obtaining loot faster and, cause possible clan wars. If you are a lonewolf have no fear there are over 200 vehicles to include anti-air vehicles, armed hummers, ammo trucks, refueling trucks, and repair trucks just to name a few on the server plus what ever the clans have (if being a bandit is your thing ;) ) Towing and pick up using vehicles is enabled, RMod weapons spawn in all over, and supply drops are scattered across the map. If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of you can find it at: 173.192.200.119 and the port is 3136 I hope to see you soon.

Every Lingor server that's populated is bloated with crap. Lingor is such an excellent map, but the fact that every servers has hundreds of vehicles/daylight 24/7 / care packages is saddening. Server is cheap anyway, if it doesn't take off I'll scrap it and probably take a break from the game anyway.

DayZ Blue is a new private hive with tons of custom features, like custom loot tables, vehicle spawns, and a custom loadout. The server is on the Taviana map, which has 3 airfields and multiple large cities. The server starts with around 160 vehicles, and destroyed vehicles (as well as dead players) are removed and vehicles re-spawned every restart to keep the database clean. The server restarts every 6 hours to keep it running smoothly. Server Hardware: i7 CPU @ 4.2 Ghz 16GB DDR3-1600 Memory 128GB SSD for the server and a 1TB HDD for backups Full list of features: Server restarts every 6 hours at 12AM, 6AM, 12PM, and 6PM EST with several warnings Customized Debug Menu that shows your blood, murders, bandit kills, kills, headshots, etc., and even FPS! 165 Custom Vehicle Spawns, 60% of which are repaired Dead players and destroyed vehicles are removed every 6 hours to keep the database running smooth Custom Loot Tables: AS50's do not spawn anywhere and M107's are extremely rare, guns in the G36 family spawn at crash sites as well as several different types of L85s, the silenced Makarov, the M40A3, and the RPK. Food and water are also slightly rarer. Active admins: Admins are always willing to help out, we are on most of the time and are ready to help you with any serious problems you might have.

I'm tired of 400+ vehicles, starting loadouts, someone holding your hand, and 24/7 day light. This is a survival game, so stop with the cop-outs. I opened up a private hive server in Lingor. GMT -8 cycle, bare starting equipment, and heli crashes. There's about ~80 vehicles that are in somewhat realistic spawn points, some repaired/some not. The server hasn't gotten too populated yet, as I'm extremely busy right now... but if anyone is interested in a little difficulty, please join. Let's get this rolling. PVP is encouraged... basically anything is encouraged other than cheating :) IP: 173.192.200.76:3204 I'm open to suggestions, as I'm still tweaking and settings and what not.

I think keys should be in the game, but under following conditions: vehicles spawn randomly (locked and unlocked) keys can be found in the car, or on one of the zombies around if you are lucky enough vehicles can be picklocked if you have toolbox+ (kind of "professional" toolbox that spawns rarely compared to common one) and a crowbar picklocking takes decent amount of time and is loud (come on, we're not in GTA here) keys can be dublicated using workbench in service station by the road or that toolbox+

I have a questions. If I pitch a tent, will it be at that location on just the server I was on or or will it exist across all servers? And for vehicles, is it just for the server you are on, and is there anything one needs to do to save them at that location?

Yes I advertised the maintenance over in game chat. Its back up now, and 18 new vehicles were spawned :)
