In Game Name: Underground2920 Age: 20 Time zone: Pacific Level of game knowledge (1-10): 8 Tell us one of your DayZ experiences: repairing vehicles with the old crew, choppers camps etc

Okay updated to DayZTaviana 1.7.4.4 (dayztaviana.com version) - vehicles were reset as previously indicated. Old backup files were invalidated because they are not compatible with the new map. Looks like one of our London nodes went offline, checking into it. EDIT: It was back up in about 10 minutes.

We just fired up our new Taviana server, and have made some improvments. We added working barracks to the airfields, and more to come. We currently have 200+ vehicles on the ground, with a max spawn of 500 This is a non PVP server, so if your interested in giving it a try, drop by team speak and request the password.

I thought up of an idea of Hunting cameras or "Trail Cameras". For those of you that do not know about hunting, Hunting cameras are cameras that have a sensor that if anything comes across about a 70 ft in front of it. This would be pretty cool to keep around your base's as security. For example. Lets say you have vehicles at your base. You can go back to the camera the next day and check out the footage of where the person entered, about how many people, and the direction they drove off in. Lets say they drove away from your camera like a different direction that the camera cannot see. You may want to scavenge for more than one and set them up in vantage points to cover every area that you would want it to. They do not have to be used in bases but however you want to. I am pretty sure people will come up with some creative ways of using them. I also put a picture so that you can see what they look like on trees or you can even post them on a pole. Hopefully my thought gets put into an option, Thank you, Lt.Bravo

Hello fellow Survivors, My Friends and I are looking to expand our group. Instead of just us friends we want to invite people from here to join us in our experiances. Currently there is 4 of us and our age ranges from 17+. The reason why we want more people is because we want to have more epic experiances in Dayz and well we want to make more friends. We play almost everyday and we've been playing Dayz For Quite awhile now. If you are new to the game that doesnt bother us at all we will teach you the ways of Surviving. Logan and Kipp Both 19 years old are kinda like the leaders of the group. They both like to snipe and they only hunt Bandits. They try to help unarmed people who died of horrible causes. You will mostly be playing with them. In our camp we currently have enough supplies to add come more people to be with us. We have 4 Vehicles at the moment and are looking for more. We only trust our team memembers so if you run on someone who says friendly, well keep in mind if you die its your fault. Please if you want to Join us dont just randomly leave. We plan to start a youtube series and we need all the members we can get. The team has both a Ventrilo Server and A Mumble server but to get in contact with us you must ADD Kipp and Logan on Skype. Logan's Skype name is loganhood1 Kipp's Skype name is Dutch_r Our timezone is mountain standard time and like i said before we play almost every day Thank you for your time in reading this and hopefully we can meet up =D

nope, no vehicles with mounted guns.

I've Always thought the same thing, i wish that your familitarity/knoweledge of guns/vehicles would grow over time, to the point of were it is now. But when you start off(Fresh spawn), it would be cool to make it so if you were to pick up an AS50 your accuracy could be decreased a little, or you walk a lot slower with it, or better, make it so it takes a LOT longer to reload, because you don't know every little detail of a gun that you've never seen before. And over time of using that gun, your knoweledge will grow, you can reload faster, and accuracy will be default(No higher chances of hitting because thats just stupid).

Spawned in some minor vehicles for new players to get a chance!

Do u guys have mounted gun vehicles?

Body arrmor -must find plate carrier -soft armor inserts good for small arms fire -Hard standalone plates good for so many hits or reduction in damage depending on firearm and shot. -Can combine the two for even more protection -you are not superman, only shots to center mass will be protected and the armor will degrade. Vehicles -hard and soft plates can be combined or added seperately to vehicle(protecting engine block from pesky trolls with50 cal.) -depending on the vehicle is how strong it will be -soft armor can be added to a car tire to make run flats, which when shot out are good for so many meters at a slower speed before completely blowing out. AND OF COARSE BASE BUILDING SHOULD BE MADE(even if its just hesco barriers) Hesco barriers -add mele weapon pickaxe can be used for fighting or can be used to make hesco barriers(just like axes with trees, no need for minecraft) -rock gravel and scrap metal=barrier or -rock gravel and fence sections kind of a stretch but watching walking dead made me think that if you could gut a zombie you could make a zombie camo spray for less detection from zombies. you must have in main inventory to work(maybe even like a chemlight) the only problem is that the zombie camo scent or object will make you slowly sick when using it. when in backpack it is properly stored no need to hurt you. alot on here, but why not mace, pepperspray or taser like in city life.(non-lethal options might be beneficial, for certain situations)bean bag rounds?

When trying to play "bandit" I tend to: -Steal as many valuables I can (food, antibiotics, morphine) from camps hoping they dont notice the theft and without destroying the camp (After all, killing a cow after getting the milk is quite counterproductive) -Travel with small vehicles and generally with only a few good weapons. -If i maintain a camp, generally its only a tent. -Killing another towelheads on sight (well, they are criminals after all) -Avoid player contact, if they dont see me and i'm at an advantageus position a few warning shots should be enough. If they are well armed, just try to kill them. better safe than sorry, I guess. Basically, i like to play thief, since i never go to cities. I enjoy playing lone survivor, not psychopathic sniper.

Check out my server! Theres plenty of vehicles, and friendly players. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/107489-military-survival-custom-scriptsrmod-100-vehiclesgreat-community-custom-clan-bases/

Server name DayZChernarus - (1.7.4.4/99515) [REGULAR NP:OFF][GMT-9] Private Hive - Kez | DayZ.ST

Custom towns and more vehicles spawned today!

That's one of the things that makes me mad, admins abusing their powers. Now I'm on an admin team for a server, I still feel admins must be objective and fair. There is nothing worse than an admin hogging the best vehicles, taking the best loot and killing people because they killed him. Petty and unacceptable from people who have power and should know better. I remember one admin killing me because he'd run out of ammo and wanted mine. I refused and he killed the whole lot of us for my one magazine. Nasty bully. I agree, find yourself a nice private hive. :thumbsup:

Hello! Have startet up a new dayz server! And it srunning the new dayz map "Taviana". Have some custom vehicles and you also spawn with a map and a makarov!. 500 vehicles on it! Name: TheRoadKillers | Taviana Ip: 37.58.68.222 Port: 3374 -Ullsokken

Same here. I was having problems with my dayz, so i got dayz commander, which btw if anyone doesn't know is really fast and good because you can friend people and favorite servers, so i advise checking it out. I checked out the update thing, and my arma 2 was out of date. so i updated that, and i'm in the middle of checking my file integrity After checking it for arma 2 oa, i tried starting up dayz, and i got a new error code, instead of the, "you were kicked off the game" message. This time, i got "bad serial number given in setup" before I even get to the player list. also, thinking back, me and my friend went on a server, and we saw vehicles raining everywhere, so we picked 2 bikes and started riding. There was everything, even boats bouncing around on the ground. we found this guy on the way to stary and he was in a jeep, and he stopped and got out to talk to us, but we had a horde of zombies chasing us, so we got off the bikes and stole the jeep. i did some inventory management with the stuff in the car, and my friend was playing sheep golf, where you hit a sheep and it goes flying. we hit one, and got tp'd really far north west into the mountains where there was this guy saying something along the lines of "put down your gun" we had taken some guns stored in the car, and we killed him. I took a m4, I THINK, and then after he killed my friend and i killed him, i started looting him. he had a heavy machine gun, and some other stuff. i left the gun and taken some other stuff.I just thought of that and now i'm thinking that i took a hacked item on accident, and i am being unfairly banned for it. Can someone please help? I don't even have it any more, because i got sniped and killed. BTW, the reason i didn't leave when i saw the spawning vehicles, is because neither my friend or i had ever been on a hi vehicle spawn server, and that was one of the tags, so we thought it was OK. everything is updated, i checked on my dayz commander, all say latest version.

I just think most players wouldn't use it, so there would not be use for it in a Russian country. Until you suggested it i had never heard of it, so to me it would serve no purpose. Give me traps and trip wires any day of the week to protect my stuff (If i was that way inclined). That is where the fun would be for me if people were trying to rob me. I would not be trying to track down items I could replace easily enough. Most players can find out where vehicles spawn and with a lot more servers now offering Max Vehicles there's usually more vehicles than actual players! Cameras would not be needed due to the high availability of stuff.

No dude.... whenever we find our vehicles back we move obviously not stupid enough to go back to the same place, also yes I know , Dont get to attached to your gear but you would like to use your best gear as long as you can and if you can get it back hell why not? And especially if its a vehicle... would you rather walk for an hour or 2? and also yea I do not appreciate your sarcasm but no not power up cherno..... Trail cameras to keep track of shit that going on. gives you an edge, an advantage....... Not like im trying to add generators even though they may be added, or freakin airplanes man, they are just simple hunting cameras.........

No offense, not trying to be a twat! Loot is easy to find, it would be easier just going to a barracks. Vehicles can be destroyed, then meaning you have to loot the parts to repair. Wouldn't a key / lock mechanism be more effective? as opposed to a hunting camera? 1st rule of DayZ "Don't get attached to your gear" I started playing as a camp wrecker, I would actively search for camps and take everything and destroy all stuff, The numerous times I have taken vehicles they have never been taken back to their originating camps. Eye witness accounts are live accounts, a camera will not have as much information, for one it won't tell you where it was last seen!

Bass, when its offline thats because he is either adding things to the server or restoring things (such as destroyed cars) I also love this server, the only dayz server I will play now. Awesome modifications such as outposts, more vehicles, supply camps and custom loot too. If you're looking for a server then try this one.

Not necessarily, If you get to your camera and see the direction they headed off with your vehicles you can basically predict where they will hide them. I know this because I have tracked down my stolen vehicles about 7 times before by using eye witness accounts on friends that told me what direction they headed. Sure i spent about 2 hours looking for them but hey I got my shit back. But if my friends weren't there then the cameras were and I can use that, It can also be used to place in random places in the woods and lets say you decide to check those random cameras you put and you end up seeing vehicles headed into heavily forested areas where bases are usually placed you can track them down and take their loot. Yea you will lose any guns they logged out with but thats why you log out with the 2 favorite guns that you do not want to be taken.

Things are starting to return to normal after the hacking incident earlier in the week, sorry about the late responses on e-mails but we'll be answering all of them today. We added new servers at every location except Salt Lake City (which will be available wednesday or thursday due to hardware shortage) so there should be availability everywhere except SLC. We also added a new location: San Jose, California and setup a test server in Singapore San Jose Test Server Hive: DayZ.ST Hive IP: 50.23.115.101:2302 Singapore Test Server Hive: DayZ.ST Hive IP: 216.185.103.153:2302 Also we will be transitioning to dayztaviana.com's version of Taviana later today. Unfortunately the vehicles and spawns are too different between the versions so we cannot keep them when transitioning, player data *should* be transferrable unless we give further notice. If you are an advanced user you can have a go at re-mapping the vehicles yourself, just make a backup of your database now. Sorry we've been behind on e-mails since all of the hacker problems earlier in the week, we've just caught up on security audits and fixing all of the servers and we are going to clear out the inbox now, this isn't how we normally operate and we should be getting things back to normal soon - our apologies. This is an old bug that was introduced in an ArmA2 beta, you need to change your ports to fix it - you can do this by switching to another location and back again. Any players that had your server saved in favorites will need to update their favorites. We do not support manual payments. If you want to reinstate your subscription send an e-mail to [email protected] with your username and subscription ID. You will have to sign up for a new subscription using the same username on the day that your subscription expires after we respond to your e-mail. Database passwords were changed yesterday, check your control panel for the new password. We have no choice but to support dayztaviana.com's version and drop support for dayzland.eu - bliss no longer supports dayzland.eu and our servers use bliss. We have to switch if we want to continue receiving bliss updates. I did my very best to try and re-map the dayzland.eu vehicles to the dayztaviana.com version but it's just not possible - there are way too many differences. Very sorry about how long it's taking to get FTP, this hacker business earlier in the week has put a hold on any new features while we continue our security audits and catch up on support e-mails. DayZCommander is no longer linked to Vilayer other than the referral link for servers (which we are still negotiating about, it may stay as is) - we now host all of the files and provide all bandwidth for DayZCommander, Vilayer does not any more. I talked to Josh and I think it's fairly likely that dayzcommander will stop supporting dayzland.eu Taviana in the near future. FTP doesn't pose a security problem as much as a logistics problem. We have a very different way of hosting servers that is cloud-based (config, mission, server, etc. files are generated on the fly and downloaded anytime a server is restarted, that is how we can provide managed servers on such a large scale). If we provide FTP access there are many files you won't be able to edit with it, including mission.pbo, server.pbo, arma2.cfg, profile file (edit tracers, map icon, nameplates, crosshairs, etc.), server.cfg (which will never be available because that is where max players and other important settings are held), and DayZ/map pbo's (which will also likely not be editable). The only useful things you can do with it right now are edit battleye script detection files, download logs more reliably, and add additional pbo's to be loaded using the @bliss directory. If we released FTP without any access to those files I assume people will be mad - anytime someone requests FTP access it is usually to make changes to the server pbo or mission files, so we have to come up with an alternative way to edit those files - that's what is taking so long.
