So i've been on the servers that don't update quickly, don't restart regularly, don't spawn vehicles/revert vehicles after every server restart. So i'm looking for a server that has the things that all these others don't, preferably one that is tried and tested and isn't likely to go away any time soon. Any ideas? :-)

It's an immersion breaker. Same with zombies not being able to inflict damage on vehicles, and other stupid bugs like zombies staying away from the huey, creating a safe zone around it. I can understand keeping some vehicles because there are technical issues,(as opposed to removing them completely until the issues are sorted) but we shouldn't consider increasing the numbers of something with many technical issues associated with it. It's similar to how they're increasing the number of enterable buildings in Chernarus plus. If they didn't also address the bug of zombies walking indoors, that (in my opinion) would be hurting the game. It would create even more bugginess for players to exploit. I do want more vehicles, it's one of my first suggestions on this forum, but since then I've come to realize that more vehicles won't help if the same bugs are still present.

oh, it's one of those "no vehicles, not tents"-restarts, isn't it?

This explains why on a majority of private hives I've been on the admins will always somehow ''find'' all the vehicles and always be geared up. My squad always knew they had some form of power, however this has opened our eyes to exactly what they can do.. I actually would be all for these tools if it forced the admins to take a back-seat, which I understand is completely unfair as they're paying for the server, however it's far to much power for one player to have if they're actively playing the game - I see why there's always admin ass kissers in every private hive now! You can speak about morals, ''I only use it to catch hackers'', blah blah however we all know it's human nature over half the admins are abusing it, more than that in my experience!

Hello there, I wonder if anyone have any suggestion why my mouse wheel is scrolling too fast in DayZ. I've tried searching for a similar post but I haven't found. My mouse is Logitech M505, i've tried modifying windows settings as well as logitech mouse settings but nothing really helped. It is really anoying using mouse wheel to do anything in DayZ, like changing weapons or getting into vehicles, because it always moves from one option to another too fast. I hope someone can help me. Thanks!

We've had hackers spawned the odd random vehicle but no proper hive spawned vehicles have appeared on our server, this is 26 days from getting our public hive mission file. Support ticket was raised and still no response

Hello everyone. As topic says, I am a bit confused about vehicles in private hives. More specifically, looking at the DB for the server shows vehicles with unique class names and id's that I have never seen in-game before (such as the M1030_US_DES_EP1, kpfs_golf_g, among several others). So if that's in there, am I allowed to put those vehicles in the server manually? Or rather, will BattlEye allow me to do so without repercussions? Last thing I want is to throw in a couple new "non-standard" vehicles and have people get BE banned. Thanks in advance for the help!

Human nature I guess. People simply cannot resist being able to be better than others. Especially if those others don't know its being done by cheating. Since there have been computer games there have been cheats. Games magazines used to have whole sections devoted to cheats. Combinations of keys, secret words you type at a certain point. I remember playing Civilization 3 and using the cheat that gives you every tech just I could nuke everyone. It was fun, for two minutes until I realised that I wasn't actually playing the game. I may as well have had a cheat that displayed the "You've Won!" screen. And I've never used a cheat or exploit in any game since. People cheat in all aspects of life, like sport. Its about finding a way to a particular thing better than someone else. If that means doing something thats against the "Rules" then people will do it. The solution is to devise a way that means anyone playing (admin or not) cannot use these tools, because someone will ALWAYS abuse them. The tools need to be there to combat the problem, but not add to it. Don't ask how you do that though. On a private hive the admin could be some 13 year old who just got his own server so he can use the tools to cheat and make epic youtube vids. I now feel silly watching some vids on youtube where people are constantly finding multiple vehicles and always have as50's or thermal L85's with NVG's etc thinking it was all genuine and how amazing they were at spotting other players. In all honesty I have NEVER found an as50 in over 6 months of play. Maybe I was unlucky. Maybe not.

New server open today! 60+ Vehicles and 4 Helicopters. Also, there is a plane! ip: 159.253.143.16:3017 159.253.143.16:3017 159.253.143.16:3017 159.253.143.16:3017 159.253.143.16:3017 www.DayZ-Gaming.net (under construction)

well done citizenlosef. hello dayz people, names ILLICI7 and i am the owner of "The Shack" dayz server, there really isnt much i can further explain since citizenlosef did such a fantastic job. probably gonna repeat alittle here but i encourage you all to voice your opinions/suggestions/complaints to our email ([email protected]) THIS, i believe is what will make the difference from any other server out there, WE LISTEN! this helps alot for a all rounded game play expirence, we have had a few suggestions already and have implimented it into the gear. weapons/loot i have added to the vehicles that spawn in i try to match the type of vehicle, IE the SUV this will have some sorta contractors weapon, other european type vehicles will have european type weapons and so on and so on. NOW the big problem ive seen with other private hives is the admin only sided gear.. THIS will DEFINITLY NOT happen in this server, any and all gear/vehicles that we have, any player can have! question i got asked while in game "how friendly is the server?" right now there is a good mix of PVZ and PVP. alot of people dont like the PVP aspect of the game, i think it adds a extra caution when looting a town/vehicle. well thats all from me for now, hope to see you guys on the server!! have fun!

As an admin of a private server I watched the posted video with a mixture of amazement and bemusement. I knew I had the tools to spawn/repair vehicles at will and I knew I had the tools to see where people were at any one time but I did not know about the spawning weapons thing. Having watched it all it left me with one question. Why on earth would anybody want to do that? Surely it just removes any and all fun from the game? I just don't understand what the point of doing anything like that would be. Surely you would do that a couple of times, realise the game had suddenly become boring and not in the least bit enjoyable and go off and find another game to play? It's not even like it's an instant "I win" button because, in reality, it's cheating and thus not winning. I will openly admit that I do occasionally use the map to watch others on my server but not while I am logged in as that would give me an advantage. I occasionally do it to monitor things to ensure fair play (and because it is a little fascinating to see how others play) but that is all. As for spawning/repairing vehicles I will admit that I have done that too. When I first rented the server I removed some of the bicycles and added some cars close to the coast for players to find. I will also repair a vehicle if it has been "eaten" by a glitchy server restart for example but if you crash your chopper, or whatever, you can fix it yourself. The same goes for me. So much of this game is predicated on trying to stay safe whilst running around collecting whatever resources you need for your current endeavour, be that finding high-end weapons to kill people with or enough vehicle parts to fix up whatever vehicle, that to do all that with just a click of the mouse makes the whole experience pretty much redundant. In my opinion if you (ab)use the admin tools as demonstrated in the video then, ultimately, you are just being a fool to yourself.

Hello, NL Forces is back in business. We've had a very populated server in the past, but because of hacking problems we closed the server. We want to give it another try with Gotcha antihack, but it's not that busy on the servers at the moment, therefore this post. We have two groups (bandits and heroes) and play against eachother at the moment, but we want more players to play with/against. You can find us in DayZ Commander: look for NL Forces. You will need the latest patch of ARMA, which is not deployed in DayZ Commander yet, you can find it here, very easy to install: ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_100056.zip Just unzip and install the .exe file. Map: Chernarus Slots: 40 Server time: UTC-1 75 vehicles Day & night Restart every 6 hours Side chat is on (voice in side chat isn't allowed) Spoken language is Dutch and (mostly) English. For further information or in case you need help you can join our TS3-server: voice.nlforces.com.

We've added a few more Cities, Map Markers, Weapons, Vehicles, and we're also accepted Player Submitted Bases! As long as they don't spawn in weapons all is welcome! Zombies have been increased! FOOD DECREASED! WEAPONS INCREASED! It's Fairly hard to survive for more than a day on our server! come join us.

I don't want to play DayZ singleplayer. All I want is the Chernarus DayZ map, complete with all objects (including roadblocks) so that I can practice driving vehicles through the map. I've tried everything I can think of to accomplish this, no luck. Who can help me? -Joker

Hey guys, I'm looking for some icons or an icon pack of all the vehicles, deer stand, and other miscellaneous buildings. Just like they have it on the Dayz database map and other maps. Here's an example: Does anyone have a set or better quality of icons like those? Thanks!

They don't need to script, private hives have database access which is why this is possible. If you are playing on a private hive and you think the admin is using the tools to have an advantage (spot players, vehicles insert weapons for themselves etc) then it's time to change servers. Private Hives pretty much saved the mod from what can only be described as a cheating epidemic, these same tools allow a good admin to catch players teleporting around the map or replace players gear after a hacker has struck. If you don't want to play on servers where admins have these tools, stay on the public hive. You need to decide, do you want to play on a server where the admins have the tools to effectively combat cheating but are also be open to abuse by that admin (private hive) or a server where the admins have little control over their server and as a result cheaters run rampant. (public hive)

Field Medics Playground Active Admins 200+ Vehicles 24/7 Daylight Private Hive I am a server admin at FMP.

As far as I can tell, they spawn on restart with the loot already spawned as well. I believe it spawns a random number between 4 and 7. The only thing that is based upon proximity are the zeds. And there is currently a glitch where if you drive up right next to it no zeds spawn so you can grab the loot but not have to deal with the zeds. This will of course be fixed in the next patch when the spawning is updated to include when you are in vehicles and the zeds can start attacking your cars. I'm basing all this off of the past two weekends being crash site hunting from a chopper since they are much easier to spot. Hope it helps.

Hello, Title kind of says it all. I'm looking for a hacker free (as much as possible) environment that has a strong community. Basically I've tried looking around the private hives but all of them advertise 200+ vehicles, care packages, starter equipment etc etc... I don't really care much for all that, I really like the survival aspect of the game with the social interaction and really, my only gripe with vanilla servers is I wish vehicles were easier to repair. I kind of don't like a 24/7 daylight server either, though really nice, it would detract a lot from the realism of the game. So I guess my question is if anyone knows a private hive that is mostly or close to vanilla, with maybe some added perks. And that can muster about 20 people a night? Also, I live in NA so US would be nice. I know this is asking a lot I guess, but I suppose I am just suprised that there are no dedicated mostly regular servers. Edit; Also, I bring friends with me :D

we are currently looking for new players to join our brand new chernarus server, max vehicles, 24/7 daylight, six hour restarts, currently using battle eye and will soon be using a white listing program as just another step against hacking! custom load outs available from www.chodsdayz.com, custom base's coming soon!!!! ip: 185.2.138.76 port: 3017

When finding a vehicle you should have two ways to get in and start it up Doors- should have to be opened and have an animation so you can't escape from zombies as fast as you can now along with the vehicle being able to take minor damage or zombies breaking into the vehicle with the option of you shooting it or going into some cinematic of kicking or punching it until it's dead or out of the car. Keys- You have to find the key or it is already in the vehicle, once you have it you can put it in your storage whatever that is or on a keyring if you find one to put any of your other keys on such as a house. Break in- You need something blunt like a rock or a crowbar to smash the window and get in it, but if it's a newer car theres a chance it could set off an alarm, but if you get in successfully you have to hotwire using something sharp to cut the wire. Popped Tires- In Real life when you pop a tire the wheel doesn't completely fall off so it's just the rim unless you get into a more extreme accident but for just normal damage to a wheel the tire should just look deflated or popped still with the rubber. Another option I think would be cool is if you ran out of gas or have a popped tire if you have say 3 or more people (Number can be changed) You have one person in the front steering with neutral on and the rest in the back pushing the car to wherever you want it say a bush or inside a garage until they get what's needed to fix it. Gasoline- Petrol should be depleted from gas stations or other areas after being used to much but then being able to recover after a set amount of time say 5 hours. Along with that if you happen to find some type of hose say a typical garden hose you can use a knife to cut it and use it to siphon gas out of other vehicles but this makes you more vulnerable and receiving fairly small amounts of gas for a desperate ditch effort. Controlling The Car- I don't know what the standalone's HUD is gonna be like but if you've ever played "Take on Helicopters" You'd know how that with the helicopters you have to specifically click on the buttons to do the whole startup and increasing throttle, etc. If the vehicles in the standalone had it where you had to click in the specific spot to start up a car or to turn on the headlights making it more intense having to startup a car to escape. Just for Shits/Car Startup- Why not have it if you're being chased by zombies and you get in a car there's a predetermined percentage that you have a failed startup just like in all the horror movies whenever the killers chasing them for some reason they can't startup cars.

Good news :thumbsup: Though i would have thought the refuel issue would have been higher up the list of "things to do" rather than some of the things that made it into this release.....ah well don't want to moan i appreciate the work you guys have put into this version was just hoping to not keep running rMod to refuel the vehicles :(
