Clan play is already vastly overpowered, because you're connected on teamspeak, skype, ventrilo or mumble. You can easily pick each other up in vehicles, transport new guys to your camp, where DMRs, ghillie suits and NVGs await him. You'll win lots of fire fights, if someone dies, you can pick up their best gear or camp the corpses, until he returns. I can't imagine a group respawn and name tags is simply a question of difficulty. It's pretty easy to ID people, if your teammates are competent communicators and always are on an external voice coms. Our team of three people, meet another group of five, dressed as randomly as us. One were dressed as hero with an Enfield like me, but because I broadcasted my exact location, it only took a seconds hesitation, before my team member dropped him.

hey guys everytime i try play day z i am able to get into a game, but once in the game there are no weapons or vehicles anywhere. i believe it may have to do with the fact that everytime i get on a server it comes up error weapons./blah blah. i have no idea what to do and i have tried several times to find weapons and stuff but i could not please help

You've basically described an aspect of Wasteland, another survival mod for ArmA2. It's quite fun, pick up a few friends of yours and have a run around. It's less survival, more guns and more vehicles. In my opinion anything like this is wholly in opposition to the spirit of DayZ.

I fully disagree with this idea. It serves no purpose in regard to gameplay. The way cars spawn does not support such a mechanic. Just the fact that finding a car almost always requires a toolbox for repairs, it's feasible to assume that all running cars are hot wired to begin with. But building on the idea I would like to see a function in the game for disabling vehicles. For example; disable vehicle would give an item to your inventory and you would need that item or to find a similar item to re-enable the vehicle. It would serve gameplay by providing a means to "save" your vehicles while logged out. The vehicle would not disappear, but while you are logged out, it would require effort to fix it for anyone finding it, rather than just driving off with it.

Hey whats up guys, I'm looking for 1-2 guys to form a little group with. My main goal is to build a little base, get a couple vehicles and just have fun, not taking it too serious but i can if it comes down to it. I'm 17 and am looking for experiecend players 16-25, my "home" server is US69, I like the server, its not too big and has good connection. So if you live in america, or any of the us time zones and speak good fluent english add me on steam, my steam id is meganichtlustig, if you don't have steam just leave your skype name in the comments. Hoping for replies

So do the other servers actually have thousands of vehicles, or is it false advertising?

You wake up on the beach with no memory of your past. Surprisingly, you have a backpack on. Upon searching it you only find a bottle of painkillers, a flashlight, and a bandadge. Somehow though, you feel completely full and hydrated. You lift your warm body off the soaking sand and drag yourself away from the beachead. After a few minutes of walking you spot a roadway winding along the coastal range. As you wander down the empty highway, you find dozens of broken-down vehicles in various states of disrepair. 'What could have done this?' you wonder to yourself. As you travel farther along the road, you have no recollection of your surroundings. Finally, while approaching a town, you see a road-sign. Maybe this can give you clues about where you are and what your past is! Strangely, the sign is in a dialect that you can't understand. Nothing in this place seems to make sense at all. As you get closer to the town, people materialize out of thin air. 'Am I hallucinating?' you ask yourself. You are overcome with joy though to find human contact in this otherwise desolate world. As you run closer to them, something seems wrong. It doesn't seem right for people to howl and stagger around. You decide to continue running towards them. The sound of running footsteps and screams sends a chill running down your spine. These people aren't friendly at all. The vacant look in their eyes assures that they aren't running to greet you in celebration, they are greeting you with death. You continue running full speed through the town, dodging around buildings and through alleyways until you have finally lost the hoard. As you slow down, you catch your breath and decide pound the bottle of painkillers. 'This has to be a dream. These drugs will help to keep my shakiness down,' you tell yourself. As you continue your way through the buildings, the sound of flies catches your attention. You are curious and decide to follow it. As you near the sound, you see a body lieing on the ground. You cautiously approach it by crawling through the short grass. As you near the body, you see that the person had a bullet hole right through their chest. 'Who could have done this and how did it happen?' you wonder. As you slowly open up their backpa-*CRACK* You wake up on the beach with no memory of your past. Surprisingly, you have a backpack on. Upon searching it you only find a bottle of painkillers, a flashlight, and a bandadge. Somehow though, you feel completely full and hydrated. You lift your warm body off the soaking sand and drag yourself away from the beachead...

I just created this server today, was sick and tired of hackers, campers, hoarders, and above all a lack of vehicles! 173.193.202.125:3238 or DayZChenarus - (1.7.4.4/100296) Private Hive - Max Vehicles | Starting Gun | Tons of Helicopters | -24/7 Daytime -Great starting load-out -Active Admins -Frequent restarts for vehicles to re spawn -New vehicles/Guns -Added Buildings "I've always wanted to own a DayZ server and now since to some great donations from friends I can now run it. I would love for people to join and have a good time, Please don't be discouraged by low number of people, the server was just created today!

Come join the fun.

Quick tut on mission editing. **ALWAYS save a copy of the origanal PBO from your server when editing** _____________________________________________________________________________________ Step 1. Open Arma2OA Press Alt + E to open map editor Select the Map you want eg. Chernarus On the right side, press "Center" double click on the map and set this to "Civilian" Now do the same for "Group" it will already have the right settings. Now click "Unit" then double click the map and beside "type" select any human model. In that same window you will see "Player" and "Playable" set the drop down menu to "Player" default is "AI" and "Playable" Default is "Non-Playable" Now you can add custom buildings to your map. All available objects are in the "Vehicle" Selection, even buildings. (DO NOT TRY TO ADD REAL VEHICLES (Cars/trucks/helis.ect). This must be done in your database.) Now that you have added the custom buildings you want, Save the file to any name you want. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Go to your Servers main directory and look for the MPmissions file and download the PBO file in that folder. Some say dayz1_chernarus some have other names. You will now need a PBO Packer/Unpacker. PBOManager v1.4 is a good choice for Windows 7 and Windows 8. You will also need the Arma2 - 3D map to 2D map converter _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Step 2. Now that you have downloaded everything. Open the Arma2 3d map to 2d map converter, click "Open 3D Map" and select the "mission.sqf" file you edited and saved. This is in MyDocuments\Arma 2 other profiles\yourname\missions\yourmissionname It will then make another folder inside your Missions folder called yourmissionname_2d.chernarus Copy and paste this new folder and all its content to your Mydocuments\Arma 2 other profiles\yourname\MPmission folder. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Step 3. Merging your missions Now open your PBO unpacker/packer and import your Servers DayZ MPmission PBO (mission.sqm) extract the mission.sqm file to your MyDocuments\ArmA2 Other profiles\yourname\MPmissions Now run Arma2OA. Select "Multiplayer" Select "New" Press "OK" Then select your difficulty mine is allways "regular" Your map eg: Chernarus and select "<<New - Editor>>" then press "Play" Now on the right side of the screen press the "Load" button and select your DayZ server mission file. Now press "Merge" and Select the mission you edited 2D Now Save the mission and name it anything you want. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Step 4. Back to the PBO Packer/Unpacker Delete the "mission.sqm" file that is inside your servers mpmission PBO (eg: dayz1_chernarus.pbo - delete mission.sqm file) Copy and Paste the newly saved merged one from your Arma2 other profiles\your name\MPmissions\NameOfTheMissionYouJustSaved Now you can re pack the PBO (PBOmanager v1.4 does it automaticly) Now Upload the new PBO to your servers MPmission folder. Your done!!! Please note, this method of mission editing does NOT require rMod and can be done on pretty much any private server.

Max is capped at 160 per HFB, the number seems low but it is easy to find vehicles. Atv's seem to pop up everywhere and there almost always more then one heli and a bunch of cars at the NW airfield.

Rocket seems like an open guy willing to answer questions, but I don't know where to even ask. So, I figured that I'd just make a thread. I don't expect an answer, but I'd like to throw my question out there for the possibility that someone at Bohemia Interactive might read it. Hacking is an enormous concern for me. Not ArmA 2 Script injecting. I've heard no information about the development team's plans to prevent unauthorized memory access. I'm particularly worried because the team seems content with a server side implementation coupled with Valve's VAC... but neither will prevent or detect custom external programs that read the game's memory. If hackers are still able to detect everything the client program has in memory, then they'll be able to detect all players/vehicles/objects within render distance in real time. Does the development team recognize this as a serious and potentially crippling issue?

Could you imagine finding a set of car keys on a zombie and then having to go find the car? The way we enter and drive vehicles at the moment implies that the keys are already in the ignition or we have hotwired the car.

Ticket ID 857984 Appreciate it Kiotie. I have sort of managed to get the restart sceduler to work. But I am NOT getting BEC messages coming up, including general messages and restart warnings :( I have sorted out some other things I wanted to do, just trying to locate a map that can connect to my database so I can see where vehicles have spawned or where I can place vehicles, does that exist? Cheers.

1: Get the hell north, pick up anything on the way, food, guns, vehicles, etc. 2: Search for sniper gear. 3: Go back down to Cherno to have some fun.

1. Stumble around until I find a barn. 2. Avoid cities and villages at all costs 3. Follow vehicles, they know where they're going better than I do. EDIT: Reading the posts above me, it disapoints me that so many players are trying to so hard to be badasses. "I R TEH ALFA MAIL" "BOW 2 ME NEWSPAWNS" "SH00T ON SITE 2B BANIDTO LOL"

Hi all, the server that me and my friends play on is looking a bit empty at the moment - we only have about 10 regular members and a few people coming and going.

Still looking for a server? I run a new Panthera server and I am looking for some new people to play on the server and play with. There are plenty of vehicles and stuff spawned so if that your thing then you are pretty much set ( not a big enough population yet so nobody has taken all of them ). Hope to see you soon :) You can check my sig for the information.

HELLO ALL! I'm just trying to advertise a very fun taviana server me and a few others play on. the admins are great! if you're a good sport about dying they'll even help you out if they're in a good mood! there are loads of vehicles since it's a new server. so please, come and bring as many friends as you can! make it your home! :D ip: 94.23.44.77:2302

HEY! i myself am a bandit in a small group, we have just made home on a kickstarting taviana server! loads of vehicles, cool admins, there are bases, but they aren't like massive constructs. just rinky dink little places. it's really fun! just look for me on this server, my ingame name is brendan. 94.23.44.77:2302 that's the ip

1. Find basic weapon either revolver/M1911/makarov/enfield/hatchet (not talking shit about the lee enfield though it's a good gun) 2. Run to Stary Sobor and raid the tents for better guns and then search for vehicles and have fun (I never really set up camps, more fun to blow them up) 3. as for me and other people, there is no me and other people. You're either in my way or not in my way.

New server started with active admins. What you will experience on ButtZ: -A fresh Panthera, vehicles are spawned where you would expect them -The server isn't flooded with bandits yet, still enough time to get some supplies and get a headstart on the madness. -Admins are fair and active, we don't abuse our powers on ButtZ, we want all to enjoy a pleasant free world experience. -Bring a clan and set up a base, or find that clan's base and steal all their shit, either way you're free to make a living in ButtZ. Spawn with: -Hatchet -1x Beans -1xSoda -1xBandages -1xPainkillers -ACU Backpack -Map On ButtZ's new Private Hive server, we beleive you should be given a fighting chance at survival in Panthera. You won't spawn with any high powered weapons, but you will spawn with a hatchet and a map. Admin's are happy to help out, With lots of vehicle spawns and fresh heli crashes/care packages/re spawns you're sure to enjoy this server. The server is not run by a clan, but it is open to clans, clan warfare, bandits, bambi's, noobs, veterans. It doesn't matter, just come claim some of this freshly spawned shit and enjoy the server! IP : 67.228.177.177:3272 or search for ButtZ on Dayz Commander or PlayWithSix. - Stumphumper

This is my friends server, gunshop works by trading in guns for "credits". DayZ 1.7.4.4

Thats not all, you also get nvg range finder coyote pack food ammo and on top of that you spawn in with that loadout every single time you die and respawn! Plus they would get a spot in the servers military group which would give them acces to the military base which has 6 helis 7 vehicles and a rediculous amount of loot. Is that worth your 5 bucks?!
