Just to update on this topic. I was finally able to fix up not just one, but a grand total of two vehicles! The Toyota truck and the Land Rover. I had failed again on the motorbike wheel repair, but I jumped back on today and attempted to fix up a few other cars. Now, it might just have been me being a noob, but I made sure to enter the vehicle first (enter backseat, move to front seat, move to back seat, gear) and I was able to repair without issue. It could have also been because I would regularly disconnect from the server and not enter the vehicle again before trying to repair (I'm a disgusting smoker, and after being murdered whilst AFK, I decided to start logging out when I needed my fix). As it stands, it all works now as long as I follow the routine above. Thanks to those who helped. :)

I for one agree, main battle tanks and light tanks as scenery should be used as wrecks to loot. Scrap metal, possibly even ammunition or weapons. I'm sure if you found a tank you could dismantle the M2 Machine Gun and mount it onto a Pickup truck or take a few shells for the main gun and construct some crude IED's. I for one would go for the wheeled vehicles like the US Humvee and Russian Vodnik. I could see the Humvee being equipped with and without a machine gun, some closed and some open. Vodniks being amphibious could have no guns or a single PK machine gun. The other possibility for an armored military vehicle is the BRDM-2 without its HMG, relying purely on its PK machine Gun for defence. The BRDM-2 is an armoured patrol car previously used during the Soviet Union. Like the Vodnik it too is amphibous however it posses a unique flaw, in order to get out of the vehicle you must exit out of a front hatch, which means exiting out if the vehicle is about to be destroyed would instantly put you into the line of fire. The only tracked vehicle I could suggest would be the american M113 APC which is sometimes also used as an Ambulance as well and frequently used by less developed countries as an APC or Police SWAT Vehicles. It's main armament is a M2 .50 cal and your exposed when your operating it. Plus because of its age, most modern weapons can still defeat it. Alternatively it could also be an unarmed variant, possible used for training or something.

Hello everyone I'm looking for a small taviana server that has very few people but are willing to let me play on the server with you guys and just have some fun and it would be even better if it has lots of vehicles on

xTHE RENEGADESx please join us here: (http://www.gamerspla...php?groupid=280) Must be 15+ (Exception if your mature for your age) Must have experience in playing DayZ Must stay active in the group RESPECT EVERYONE ESPECIALLY ME AND ANY OTHER LEADERSHIP If you are ordered to do something, DO IT. sometimes shoot unarmed players or anyone who is a bandit. Stick with the team, unless you are ordered to leave the parameter stay in formation. All vehicles: steal steal that shizzle and drive! High value items (Low spawn rate): dont be greedy share with the clan! Base Camps: Areas that stockpile equipment for the teams use: You will need to be a “team” player and demonstrate this with donations of loot before you receive cords to the base. Our base will not be a place for you to pick whatever you want for shits and giggles, you will be told what to get when you go to the base for supplies, someone will accompany you anytime you go to get something. Protect the base with anything and everything. -Your in-game Profile name needs to have [xTRx] in front of it. -Must be able to speak reasonably good English in order to communicate with other xTRx members. RANKS SPEC-OPS The best of the best, going through one of the most unforgiving entry tests in the world, these warriors are brought into training through pure survival, entry to the unit is only granted by killing 2 of the existing members that are reaching the end of their journey due to age or injury, but do not take that as a handicap. These testing officers are some of the most experienced out of the entire unit and put anything and everything against the candidates who feel confident in themselves enough to risk their life for a once in a lifetime training opportunity. Those who pass the entry test are trained in close quarters tactics, combat medical operations, advanced sniper school, and squad command. INFANTRY Second to the Spec-Ops, these are the masters of mid-close range combat, putting their weapon expertise to clearing out hordes of infected and hostile survivors. The rangers spend their spare time training for harder opposition, and never expect an easy fight, which makes them some of the deadliest people to come across in the Chernarus infected zone. When faced against the Rangers, expect elite tactical formations, and extreme weapon accuracy, as this units sole purpose is to detect and annihilate. MARKSMAN(snipers) The sharpshooters, being one of the most painstaking occupations in the clan, it also carries an extreme importance behind it. Any Marksman must be extremely patient, waiting for the perfect shot, and protecting their squad at all times, a squad is never complete without a marksman, and a marksman is rarely complete without a squad. Being a role depending entirely on accuracy and determination, Marksmen require accuracy testing and tactical training to embark on their journey, and once qualified become some of the most useful members of the clan due to their expertise and deadly accuracy. MEDIC The failsafe, always there to protect, never there to aggravate. A medic is a crucial part of the team, whether they are collecting important healing supplies for future deployments, or accompanying squads to provide instant support throughout some of the most intense firefights in the field. Each medic is trained in strategies proven to effectively keep a squad alive through some of the most desperate situations one can encounter in the DayZ universe. These skills range from how to keep the pressure off of a fireteam during transportation from one area to another, to healing techniques guaranteed to get a soldier from a half alive retreater, to an energetic opposing force. Medics will always be there to cover you, even when the odds are against them. SCAVENGERS The collectors of the service. If there is anything to be found, the scavengers will have it, and provide it to you without hesitation. The entire purpose of a Scavenger is to find out item locations, and to then collect and gather the items in excess, using techniques to mass-gather for future clan use, and to provide support to fireteams in the field. Not only can a Scavenger provide equipment to a squad in a safe-zone or stronghold, but they are trained to provide in-operation item drops to save a team from certain death in extremely unsupportive conditions. Please note: Scavengers do not duplicate, and the clan does not support any such actions. (Duplicaters/Hackers are kicked upon discovery.) RECON The Recon is the first occupation that anyone is put into upon joining the clan. The basic function of this role is to observe and report any threats to the squads entering an area, and to provide reconnaissance during operations for them during an operation, alerting of any approaching enemies and also alerting of any zombie threats. Basic training is provided for this occupation but it is very basic and not time consuming. Application Format: Age: How long have you played DayZ: Why do you Want to join xTRx: What is your strength in DayZ (Marksman, Recon, Artillery, Pilot, Assault Rifle Oriented, Driver, Etc, Etc.): Have you read the rules?: Do you accept these rules?: Do you have a working mic?: Do you have teamspeak? If so What is your name, If not download it and state your name here: What timezone do you live in: What country do you play from(so we know timezone diff.): What is your time schedule on the week days and week days that you will be available?:

you have to restart the server first. vehicles don't just spawn unless your hacking.

Active friendly admin, start with hatchet to get on your feet!, more vehicles will be added soon! Map: Chenarus Server IP: 173.192.70.136:3306

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any useful links to guides for modding the dayz code. Ideally I would like to alter looting tables to get a few new weapons in add and edit some vehicle spawns and possibly add towing and airlifting vehicles. Quite new and don't want till screw up the servery files without doing some reading up first. Thanks in advance for any links guides or tips

Agreed the LawsOfFire, maybe make them less accurate, and less range. Or as you say add some russian ones instead. Cause i do see how the 1600 meter range of the AS50 is maybe a bit too much for DayZ. But in real life, there has been confirmed kills at 2500 meters with .50 cals. So its not unrealistic. I use .50 cals for vehichles my self. Personally i prefer the M24 for players (not in vehicles).

First of all : Paintjobs. idea is this: add a new toolmenu but smaller. one with like 10 slots. then around construction sites and so u can find spray cans with random color spray only the normal like blue, white red and so on. but you can mix them later on. then when u have lets say a blue and a white spray can. Then u go to your car. u scroll and an option appears. Spray! then a small menu will open where u can choose what pattern to spray. what color to choose and if you want to mix the blue and white a bit so u can add more colors by mixing. a feature like add logo or small image to the vehicle aswell. basicly costumize the look of the vehicles them selves.maybe u even have to find the patterns ingame as the spraycans. another feature could be spray painting tags on walls and such. Secound extra ingame items. 1. candy bars. ;) snickers and mars and such. 2. hotwire kit for stealing cars ? and keys for driving a car normaly. Vehicles: Taxi, ambulance. Firetruck. motorbike with a sideseat. a Heli with A redcross symbol. with no guns. These features could be cool. as well as adding a flag or something with ur logo on it without having to use the arma2 editor and actually have ur own logo ingame. fairly easy as a ingame feature.

My thoughts on the suggestions above. 1. Making it so the anti-materiel rifles require a rest or bipod to be accurate would be an authentic, well balanced solution IMO. 2. Apparently zeds spawn entirely differently in SA, so we'll just have to wait and see how log-aggro is handled in future. 3. Destroying vehicles is what anti-materiel rifles are supposed to do. Nerfing damage would be a bad move. 4. Anyone can get killed at any time. Bambi will have to learn to fend for himself.

Do you have a tool box? Because you need one to repair vehicles.

We would like to have you on our team. We are currently playing on Server US 310 Dallas. The server currently has 400 vehicles. Its the best server I've played in for the past 9 months. It is currently whitelisted, but it is open to all tonight. If it is whitelisted when you log in it will give you information on how to apply. Most of the time it is instant approval. Or you can reach me (Snoopy) at ts101.light-speed.com:4888 I or anybody else on the Ts can ask the admin to add your name to the server. We would just need your Dayz gaming name. We have had the minimum amount of hacking compared to all the other servers i have played in.

I am looking for an admin control panel that I can install and run on a second screen. I host on HFB servers, so it would need to configurable to work with them, and would also need instructions or help on how to set it up (This is my first server, im teaching myself everything as I go along). The features I would like to have available are the things I now do by tweaking the database - or sifting through the reports such as: Live map showing players, deployables and vehicle positions. Ideally with alerts to catch vehicle/box spawing and teleporting. Ability to easily spawn vehicles, i.e. a GUI on the above mentioned map, so I dont need to do math and find the DB coordinates. Ability to look into players inventory - to promptly ban that fresh spawn with a golden AK. I know how to do these things through my database, but after seeing the DayZ.ST Control panel I got jealous. Thanks!

Tanks as scenery would be nice, they would fit the setting, but then everyone would complain about not being able to drive them. Maybe they're too badly damaged to drive, maybe the military pulled the bulk of their vehicles out of Chernarus when the infection hit.

Found my problem, I had made some mistakes in my database so the vehicles were spawning from the wrong world table, thus in the ocean :)

Any camp that isn't your own, should be destroyed. If you encounter a group of well armed players and engage and kill them... they will just go back to their tent and rearm and once again be a threat to you. However, if they have no tent to rearm you basically set them back to Day 0 effectively, which like others have said gives you the edge. I will also destroy your vehicles.

If your camp can be found, it deserved to be looted and destroyed. I've managed to find a well-stocked 10-tent camp with 5 vehicles belonging to a group of bandits(kiddies) known to kos especially new spawns, we took some ammo and destroy everything including the cars. While doing so, me and my buddies were discussing what if one of the bandits is watching us all this time (because we were busying shoot our m14s and mk48s at their cars to destroy them). Low and behold one of the bandits was actually watching us and started firing upon us with an AK-74 kobra but he was a terrible shot. We took him out and escaped as the other bandits started to login and cursing at us. We laughed all the way back in our heli. This is also the best day of Dayz for me.

I've never had any serious problem with vehicles exploding easily. Except tractors. And then there's ATVs and their tendency to launch themselves into space.

Tbh, I would like to see both military vehicles and civilian vehicles in the game. If you see military barricades, their humvees everywhere, why wouldn't 1-2 tanks survive? Why are helicopter so bad, I don't think zombies would try to fly them... In a real life scenario, you would find hundreds of tanks, and other vehicles all over. Driving them should be the issue.

I'd rather see home-made vehicles customised by players. Why not grab an offroad, weld some corragated roofing to the side for protection and then mount a PKM or Mk48 Mod 0 to the back using scaffolding bars. Much more fun to do and more fitting for the game. Rocket has said that vehicle customisation will be looked at in the future so it's not as silly as it sounds.
