It seems you lost the UAZ plus I don't really trade for vehicles they are lost to easy and I already have a ton of them on the server I play on.

Hello guys I have been wondering around DayZ for ages and I was looking for somebody that could get me a car for pretty much anything they want. Sounds crazy I know but my clan has loads of guns AS50's and all that stuff but they don't have any vehicles. We were recently ambushed by a group of bandits and lost our only car which was a UAZ. I will settle for pretty much any other car or truck. Im offering 3 AS50's full tools, ghillie suit whatever you want really. Hive server please respond A.S.A.P

1: Military loot: Why don't we take away every possibility to get military gear from a predefinied loot spawn. What do i mean with this? Well it's very simple: -no more Baracks -no more Hangars -no more military tents -etc. Why? Because it could be a solution to counter power-looting by rejoining new servers and raiding those lootspawns several times in a row. Military loot should only be found on heli crashes and probabely destroyed military convois and roadblocks or even stranded military boads which randomly spawn on the map. This would increase the vale of military loot. 2: Start gear At the moment every player has the same starter gear: -1 coyote patrol pack -1 painkillers -1 flashlight -1 bandage but would this be the case in an apocalypse? in my opinion, there should could be a random selection of items and equipment when you respawn, for example a percentage of chance that you spawn without any backpack or with an alicepack or even a coyote backpack. it could be possible to spawn with a watch equipped and with a compass or a gun but without any flashlight or bandages. there are infinite possibilities of how you respawn. why don't we randomize everything about it? the only selectable thing should be your gender. even a random skin would be amazing, so not every player looks the same anymore... 3: cars at the moment cars only spawn at certain places (if i see this right) why is there norandom spawnplace for vehicles? it would be much more luck to get one instead of just checking every carspawn after a server restart. 4: player spawnlocations: at the moment every new player spawns on the beach, which makes it very easy for campers to shoot them, as it is a respectively small and overwatchable area. also, there are just a few places where they can go to get better gear, which are Electro and Cherno. if there was a random player spawn anhywhere on the map, noone would be able to spawnkill them and they could easily reach every possible looting area without having to fear a sniper shooting them when they enter a small town. this would decentralize the pvp on the map and cherno and electro wouldn't be as dangerous anymore as they are now (this is of course an example for the actualy DayZ map Chernarus) i hope my english wasn't too bad and you understand what i actually want to say :P i appreaciate every comment and critics :)

The timer should start if you're outside the red and inside the yellow area. I don't think so. The timer just stops and continues by re-entering yellow area again. Anyway, the timer is up to 10 minutes. It could happen that new loot is already spawned after, let's say, 3 minutes. Spawn does only happen within the yellow area. As long as there is noone in, a given timer stops. If never anyone had been in, a new timer would be generated, dito if a previous timer has ran up. My experience: Loot does de- and respawn, but not entirely, and I don't know when this happens. I think it has to do with the timer. Once I was with a friend of mine at the barracks at the airfield, I waited beneath a loot pile with a precious gun so it does not despawn (our backpacks have been way to full :P ). The friend searched for our vehicle so we could store it there, but he need to go rather far away for that. Even while I was sitting all the time next to that gun, it disappeared, and partially new loot piles were given. Due to the time he need for the search and driving, he must re-enter the yellow area, and it took more than ten minutes, so the precious loot pile was gone while other crap still remains. :( So if there's something you urgently want to have, hurry up and waste less valuable things so you can pick them up! I can also confirm the existance of alternating loot piles. Now that I know that ammo and backpacks are not counted as loot for regenerating, more things become much clearer. :D Thanks a lot for this technical look! Anyway, I don't count such information as cheating, because it's a technical background. For comparisation, Minecraft has a big Wiki and for that a lot of information, too, one can use for own (and others!) purpose. What I'm missing is exactly such information in a powerful wiki. Information about @DayZ are on the one hand very common but on the other hand rarely deep-going. I'm highly technically interested, and it's making fun having success with altering well-known triggers. B) At last, it's horrible to see detailed cheating instructions with no cruel while I was searching for respawn mechanisms. A question I have to add: How and when spawn vehicles? I'm not very lucky with my server database. Very few usable vehicles are spawned, and those spawned are mostly totally damaged. Arr. As long as there is no legal way to get rid of pesky vehicles, I need to dump the db part for the them. :(

OK, issue resolved, all vehicles // tents should have spawn correctly again :)

vehicles seem hoarded in this server allready, and are 3 med boxes at spawn really necessary?

Lingor server needs help filling up as does the Chernarus server! Lingor has a 14/50 player daily we'd like to reach atleast 30 players daily! Chernarus hasnt had that much advertising as its only a week old! Its a realistic server for the hardcore. Still with 150+ Vehicles and 6 Choppers.

I like the idea of not-so-rare vehicles, but extremely rare fuel.

Not sure your heli gone 'cos of hive error. All our vehicles are ok.

This goes for all the vehicles.

if you have a surround sound headset you are at a huge advantage because you can sound whore or whatever its called and hear people talking on direct on side pretty much anything you do can be heard. if you don't have a surround sound headset my advice would be to turn down your game music or whatever you play in the background and just have your effects on highest it helps in general with hearing agro and vehicles.

I think with vehicles being a more viable idea in the stand alone this is certainly an excellent idea, making running from place to place like a marathon athlete does seem kinda unrealistic though I support it with the mod given that it would take -hours- to really do anything from one town to another on foot. Walking along the road with nothing but scenery porn to look at as you go? Eh, I'll pass on that. That being said, since vehicles are supposedly going to be a bit easier to repair in the stand alone I don't think this is a terribad idea. If there were more cities and more buildings to explore within cities to find supplies to fix cars and become more mobile then getting from one city to another wouldn't be all that hard. Though if the map Chernarus stays as it is and doesn't add anymore buildings to cities and small towns to explore and root around for supplies in then honestly... I can't say I support this idea, the prime reason I feel being able to run forever in DayZ is that there's nothing to do otherwise unless you can get from one town to another within a few minutes with a really fast jaunt.

Rocket already stated more vehicles will be available but finding gasoline and parts will be the equivalent of finding 5 m16's in a fire station pretty uncommon in other words.

Right now I can't find my mic, and I'm too lazy to buy another one, so I've been playing solo. It's pretty good for training yourself in sneaking ability, as if you get caught you are dead. It's also a good way to "gear up" before going to other, more populated, servers. Mostly due to the reduction in chance that some random twat will headshot you for no particular reason. It also has some big disadvantages. Namely, no one to talk to. Considering the good chance that I may go insane if I don't talk to anyone for too long in game, I invented Fred the pacifist zombie, who I talk to in the close-by chat when I get bored of bean hunting. He is quiet, has contempt for his fellow zeds, and likes rugby. There is also the problem of reconstructing vehicles. Normally you could have one person carry the tire or petrol and the other people armed with shotguns and guard them on the way back to the car, but with solo you have to either not use vehicles, or just be very sneaky and hope you don't aggro any zeds.

pretty much your better off finding something like a Ural for the 200/50/10 capacity or possibly just getting some more vehicles and using them as mobile bases.

Hey there everyone! Just letting you all know there's a relatively new private hive server up at 209.222.89.130:3802 a.k.a. US 1367 a.k.a. kidSwift's Chernarus Romp! What you'll find here is a VERY friendly server, aimed to take the zombie apocalypse and make it survivable for the Bambis, and a silly kind of fun for the veterans. We are at an early stage of infancy in terms of extraneous features, but with more players we will have donation incentives (such as customized loadouts), planned events with prizes, and much more! Also, the server is rolling with Gotcha! antihack software, so you're safe from all sorts of malevolent players out to ruin the fun. Given this new level of protection, there is currently no password or whitelisting procedure - just log on and play!* But that's not to say we are strictly PVE - we embrace the beauty of PVP, but we prefer a nice, fair fight! Currently what you get for helping us grow out of our diapers is: Very friendly server, for new and old players More vehicles than you can shake a stick at (nowhere near the cap yet, but already 100+!) No hackers, no crappy admins, no bs! Side chat, care packages, wrecks, kill messages - all enabled! Currently 24/7 Daytime! PVP when you want it, friendly play when you don't! So come join us in making DayZ a little more fun for everyone. We have cookies!* actually we don't, that'll probably get you banned by BE. * We will be monitoring everything that happens like hawks. First sign of trouble, and we will implement an extra layer of security, most likely whitelisting. Anybody who has currently been playing and is known to be legitimate will not have to apply - they will be whitelisted automatically! P.S. Big shout-out to Badoilcan for making that sweet-o banner you see up top. Thanks mate!

I've been playing in US 1776 - Boobs4Noobs for the last 3 weeks. It has been a fantastic server to be on. Last night while a friend and I were playing and a hacker, "snake", was playing (clearly he was hacking because I shot and killed him, then he spawns next to me with full gear and shoots me). So I got the admin's attention and told him what had happened. The admin started making a statement that this player, "snake", is a long time contributor to the server and he would never hack. A few minutes later the admin kicks snake from the game. He had said that it was a different snake than the one he knows. Snake joins the server again only a few minutes later and the admin says that it's the real snake this time. I end up finding this so called "real" snake and shoot him in the head 5-7 times and he doesn't die. He doesn't even start bleeding. Clearly it's the same guy who was just kicked for hacking. (not sure why he wasn't banned). I came to the conclusion that the admin is friends with this snake joker, and allows certain friends or members of the server to hack. Which is ridiculous. So I logged off and called it a night. I tried joining the server 30 minutes ago and I've been banned. Go figure.

What he said. I'll add to that by saying that the defensible solution would be to make sure that your motivations for adding vehicles are sound. If you're adding vehicles so you, as the admin, can play with them and nothing else... well, I'd stay away from that. If you're motivation is to add balanced spawn points and you intend to not utilize them so your server population can enjoy the expanded experience... you're in good shape. On our server, we have a 'we'll try anything' approach to vehicles. We'll test them in editor or in a remote area of the map(and only on each other) to see if the inclusion is warranted, then we'll do a short test run of adding a few spawns as an expanded test. If the vehicle passes these tests, we add more spawns, always making sure that the more powerful vehicles are in spawn locations that make repairing said vehicle a total bitch. Then we do not touch these vehicles. We're admins, not players - the server is there for others gameplay.

Fresh Restart & Crashed/Destroyed Vehicles Re Added.

Before I start, I just wanna clarify that I've never geared up and gone down south purposely for PvP and can honestly say the only time I camp around Electro/Cherno is to countersnipe or gear up quickly. I also want to add I have a conscience and haven't betrayed someone and always feel some guilt for shooting on sight so I'm not flat out a bandit. My only argument with people who are against PvP and look down on banditry is realistically what else do you have to do? You can't tell me killing infinite spawning zeds is particularly fun, there's no reward in doing that anyway. Vehicles as a end game? I've been there, spent 3 hours searching for a wheel for example - boring. I've played on the 3-5 people max private hives who all know eachother, geared up with enough guns to start a small war to the point me and my buddy were ditching good gear because it was completely pointless hording anymore and...it's boring. I hopped on a 30+ pop at all times server, grabbed a akm and had a blast with no gear at all with plenty of PvP/player interaction. If everyone was friendly, there would be no tension at all in the game. It makes me laugh when people cry about there being no friendlies in game and being killed because they have good loot/ghillie which is only useful against players. Otherwise we'd all grab a common gun, like a Enfield, matches/hatchet/knife and a water bottle and just walk around the map. I've played on a few servers with medics/people giving taxi rides, role playing or just trolling people and I can understand that's fun but if there wasn't PvP in the game no other playstyles would exist IMO. PvP makes day-z what it is imo. And I'm aware i'm in the minority but I pray the standalone remains a hostile/PvP environment and isn't just spent grinding for various meds/supplies for days on end focused on PvE.

I don't think it's good for the game to exaggerate the bugs by adding more vehicles. When you're in a vehicle, no zombies spawn. Enough said.

Watch from the time 33:03 till 36:09

Hello there, I would like to share with you my setpos.txt to avoid vehicles and players teleportations that show up in the setpos.log The community setpos.txt only contains 1 "" which logs everything but don't kick at all. Here's an example of what we can find in this log file: Vehicles teleportation: (...) 13.12.2012 05:06:01: hxxxe (77.66.xxx.xx:2304) 51d55596xxxxxxxxxx4c9c68cdcbf2f3 - #0 2:43 V3S_Civ [872,1853,7] 13.12.2012 05:06:01: hxxxe (77.66.xxx.xx:2304) 51d55596xxxxxxxxxx4c9c68cdcbf2f3 - #0 2:43 Mi17_DZ [872,1853,7] (...)

To avoid players and vehicles teleportations, I have modified my setpos.txt to kick players by adding the following lines to the setpos.txt: This will not prevent all teleportations, some teleport method works without log in setpos, but it can help you to have a safer server. Here's the file I use on my server, updated for the 1.7.4.4 1.7.5.1 version. Hope you find this useful. setpos.txt

Female players should have the option of stripping down naked and saying very loudly "I hope nothing ruins this risky skinny dip I'm about to make followed by a lovely nude picnic" and then be chased screaming, breast flailing through the forest by a horde of cannibal zombies. Dies Irae should play with intense gun fights with a flock of pigeons flying from behind objects around the winner. Walking away from vehicles slowly that are destroyed should have them explode violently with no damage to the player. Players should be able to cock their guns when aiming at another player and deliver an awesome one liner like "Your luck just ran out" or "Whose got the beans now?" Gun fights should include appropriate bullet time/slow motion sequences for shots that hit from impossible distances or impossible circumstances.
