Three things eh? 1. Vehicles: a - Allow us to remove parts from one vehicle and add them to another ("Car Stripping") b - Add in a tow truck, allowing us to tow other vehicles around but of course make it hard to do unless on paved roads c - Give boats some cargo space d - Small boats should be able to go faster than 15km/h; only when one person is aboard 2. Items: a - Weapons should be able to be modular; add sights, tac lights, foregrips and dual mag clamps b - Different types of ammo; hollowpoint, armor piercing, dragon's breath (hehehe) b2 - Incendiary grenades and tear gas canisters (edit) c - As with cars; being able to damage and then fix weapons; breaking weapons down to basic parts to use in fixing others d - Wearing the same clothing over time will show wear and tear (within reason). 3. Environment: a - No longer able to drink directly from a stagnant pond; you must boil your water in a camp fire b - You can chop wood from any tree.. not just the ones in a forest c - Bears, wolf packs, deer, moose, vultures and zombie varieties of the previous mentioned d - Slender and "The Rake" (only on rookie servers)

can anyone suggest a good private hive to keep away from the majority of the hackers? id rather not have my game ended by any hackers... much better when its Zed, Bandits, starving etc. im not fussed about which map or vehicles it uses, just something to keep the hackers away as much as possible thanks fellas

There would be limitations. Most building entrance have some front steps, that you couldn't place cars on. For those buildings that don't, you can always crawl underneath the cars. Once again, actually moving vehicles around would present such a risk that only coordinated team efforts would be able to pull it off. You wouldn't have any lone trolls trying to block off every door in the city. And even if they did, you could still crawl under them. The main purpose of cars is to provide actual cover from gunfire in base-building, and to stop zeds (or at least bringing them into a choke-point). For a car to be an effective barrier against players, it would need to be coupled with wire-fencing kits.

Well that was what the game was originally about, before you came along with your hacks and your 24/7 daylight 5000+ vehicles spawn with a nuke servers. To answer your question, we got shot in the face over beans a lot, but not all the time.

Would make the game perfect for me, maybe not everybody -less zombies, but faster and intelligent (instead of that herp look I'm under a roof better take it slow) -zombies spawn by coming in from the borders of the map and move in hordes, no more wow-mob-esque spawning -attachments on weapons, so I can actually use my L85 for shooting during the day -vehicles that don't explode whenever it wants to -Related to #2, zombie hordes moving through the wild will track players who make too much noise, hence giving power weapons an actual use besides just shooting newspawns -Body armor, providing protection against low velocity bullets -name tags and bullet trails removed from every server -Retain and improved upon controls, being able to shoot out of covering is a useful feature -Less food and water but decrease hunger rate (who the hell needs a can of beans every hour) -Better atmosphere, I used to play a browser game called Dead Frontier (look it up), that game was top down 2D yet it still managed to convince you that you were in a truly fucked over world, currently there's just too much sun shine in DayZ

Adding buildings is fine to do from the .PBO mission file, any buildings that you have put on there should spawn loot like any other building of the same type on the map. Not all of the buildings are on the map editor so you will have to edit the .BEIDI and .SQF files for your mission in a text editor. Easiest way is to add something you know you dont want i.e. a wood pile. Find that in the text files and replace for the name of the building you want. http://www.armatechs....com/ArmA2Class Then the building should be there as normal. If you add vehicles onto the server via the map editor they will appear and you will be able to get the spawned loot from inside them but if you try to get in ... Boom. To insert vehicles onto the server this has to be done by editing the dayzserver.SQL - this is the database for your sever and you will have to open this using mysql or other sql program and edit the spawn / loot tables by adding more spawns manually. Hope this helps :)

i know clases in mmo like mage is limiting you for only mage stuff but i think somthing different you got small bonus in lets say marksman stuff but it dont mean you can use only marksman stuff you can use anything and evrything you can find and after some time you get small bonus in this area like when i carry lot of stuff long time enough i can carry heavier stuff (weigth) lets say from start 30kg after some time it will be 35kg or after using machinegun i will have 2% less recoil or reparing i will get ability to upgrade vehicles so after some time i will be more usefull for team

We started the server yesterday and we have new ideas in development like, customs towns (soon), new types of loot, and plenty of vehicles and diferent than normal dayz but nothing to much OP. We don't have much ppl yet but we start to build a comunity up right now if you wanna join us and if you have some friends wanna join to you guys are more than welcome you can read below the features of our server.

Thanks Hicks! It was silly from the beginning that some server providers were excluded from dayzland.eu .-version... Just installed DayzTaviana 1.0 I was wondering is patch notes available since boats don't have inventory and vehicles don't show up whole damage list etc as on dayzland.eu-version.

What does the arma2oaserver.rpt say? Like after these lines after server restart. "SERVER VERSION: Bliss v4.2" "SERVER: Fetching objects..." Does any vehicle spawn at all according log files? Did you check your objectconfig.sys Automatically Remove Vehicles That Are : objectcontrol.bat Vehicle Cleanup Option Which option you have selected on those? EDIT. just installed DayZTaviana 1.0 and vehicles spawn "normally" though there were some errors on mountain bikes, towingtractor and on s1203 ambulance: Cannot create entity with abstract type S1203_ambulance_EP1 (scope = private?) Cannot create non-ai vehicle S1203_ambulance_EP1, EDIT. i'ts only spawn chance and doesn't mean exactly 400 vehicles spawning

First, patch notes state: * [NEW] An2_TK_EP1 Now Unbanned.(AN2_DZ) But then state: * [REMOVED] An2_1_TK_CIV_EP1 Got removed during testing devs felt it lacked perpose in the game. * [REMOVED] An2_2_TK_CIV_EP1 Got removed during testing devs felt it lacked perpose in the game. So is it added or not? If yes, has anyone even seen one yet? I've seen and/or built all the other new vehicles except this one.

Thanks for pointing this exploit out. Have never seen this before. The same would be true of other vehicles also and this requires a fix.

EDIT: Nevermind, they removed two of the civilian skins but the green military An-2 is in game now First, patch notes state: * [NEW] An2_TK_EP1 Now Unbanned.(AN2_DZ) But then state: * [REMOVED] An2_1_TK_CIV_EP1 Got removed during testing devs felt it lacked perpose in the game. * [REMOVED] An2_2_TK_CIV_EP1 Got removed during testing devs felt it lacked perpose in the game.

Nice survive! I think I am at 10days now and it goes steep now. 2 vehicles, camp and fully equipped hero is something I dont want to lose and since I am on full servers most of the time it´s kinda challenging. Helping bambis sometimes mean you are meeting a freshly spawned nothing to lose idiot.

Yeah I'm still very skeptical of having classes in the game, I'm not sure that would work in DayZ. Who knows, maybe it's a great idea, but so far it's been entirely up to the players how they define their roles within a group, and that has worked just fine. You're good at flying/driving vehicles? Great, you're now officially the designated driver. Got a loose trigger finger? Okay, lead the assault. Like to keep a low profile? Be our scout. Got a steady aim? Designated marksman. Et cetera! My point is this: Who needs classes when you can just be what you wanna be? But I admit that I can think of several ways in which classes might improve gameplay. For one, it would provide incentives for trying out new survival strategies. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, it could also mean that some classes would be more challenging than others (arthritic granny), which might be a nice change of pace for some of the more seasoned players. Classes would probably also make squad play a little easier, although I think this is also a weakness as these pre-defined roles would quickly lead to a more boring sort of gameplay. The other problem is that in most games, classes come with a certain set of gear (mages get a staff but cannot use melee weapons, swordsman can only use one-handed melee, etc.) but you can't do that in DayZ, making classes somewhat irrelevant in the end. So all in all I think it's the wrong approach for an open sandbox game like DayZ.

just to let youknow which vehicles we included from rMod: M113 Armored Personel Carrier - Yes, it's a tank with a .50cal on top, but do not fear! This thing can be immobilzed even by a M14AIM or M14DMR and destroyed by an M107 or AS50. UH60 Blackhawk - There will be only 2 of these on the map, heavily damaged. MH6J Little Bird - Unarmed Little Bird. Kamaz Truck - Better looking Ural basically.

I would like to start a story thread and hopefully we can be all get a nice chuckle from here to there. This may be helpful for other survivors to avoid similar deaths :3. I was playing with my friend and we were transporting vehicles parts to fix up a v35. When all of a sudden we had to travel down a steep hill. Now I've been able to just go down these hills fine in the past, but unfortunately I was moving down pretty fast. All of a sudden I walk off a couple rocks and I could not have been more than 3-4 meters off the ground when I fell. The first thought that came to my mind was, "Oh that's not bad, I might just have a broken leg and be unconscious." The next thing I read on the screen is the death message from the server. I was in utter shock that such a small drop would kill me. Fortunately my friend was able to fix up the truck and able to transport all my gear onto the truck. He was able to pick me up from Elektro and we were on our merry way. I would love to hear your story, whether it be a glitch, friendly fire, or silly shennanigans. Thank you. Be safe!

Up to 70+ vehicles, which are custom ones! 24/7 Daylight and much more! Its a monitored by Gotcha-Anti hack and active admins so you won't find any hackers! restart every 6 hours. Name : Funzone IP : 173.193.20.142:2372 Come on down and have some fun :D Website: www.dayzfunzone.enjin.com

Still need a transfusion? If there was no server restart and I hope so for the sake of our stuff my bro and me can come to help you out and resupply you with basic equipment and some other stuff - since we have vehicles and are not too far away we could make it in 7mins I´d say. I am not at home right now but will be back soon.

Ok they are now spawning every body on server to a certain point and killing us around 9:20 and 9;25pm NZ time thankyou Edit: Add Police cars and other types of vehicles to this list. I saw that SALTY was killed so im thinking it was EHAB that is the actual hacker. thankyou

Nice idea! Mine is following: You should have a stamminabar that only regenerates when you are sitting, Stamina regenaration should be filled up again in 2 to 4 minutes of resting. Stamina should run out after 2000 to 3000 meters, so that you have to plan your trails, where you got to go, where to take a break(Slow upright walking should not use any stamina at all). You should be able to keep on running eaven when you had run out of stamina for the cost of blood, means you can kill yourself by keeping running. P.S.: Combine this with a klass/skillsystem (something like the one I mentions earlyer in the Thread) an more vehicles in big citys(just a few lowtier vehicles so that you can get around the map without taking 20 breaks on the way to the northern Airfield.).

Found a tractor near Polana with my ghillied day 50 character with whom I had the first and last l85 thermal I will ever know. I haven't had that much experience with vehicles as I play on publics where most are hoarded and hidden. Proceeded to drive west towards Stary in the hope of bagging a DMR at a crash site. I already had an m107 but I wanted a rifle that would work with my NVGs and that I didn't have to worry about ammo with. As I approached Novy, I decided to hide my tractor in some trees so as not to announce my presence to anyone within 2kms of Stary. So I drove a little into the forest to the east of Novy and parked the tractor between two pine trees. As I stepped out of the tractor my legs broke, I began bleeding and fell unconscious. The tractor was crushing me against a tree. When I finally regained conciousness, I died instantly. I facepalmed, gritted my teeth and held in the inhuman roar that was building in my chest and told myself it wasn't that bad: I'd respawn and re-gather my kit from my body. I spawned in Kamenka. The suppressed roar intensified. I finally found may way back up to the fateful tractor and murderous trees to find nothing but the mocking buzzing of flies. My body had dissapeared. My neighbours moved out the following weekend, and my throat has not yet recovered from those particular obscenities...

Essentially admins have more control over private hives, since they have access to the hive (database) - Can password/whitelist the server - Can add/remove weapons, spawns, vehicles, add in additional items, new types of crash sites, items, buildings etc - Can run additional maps - Can run 24 hour daylight servers - If a hacker nukes the server they can restore it to a previous point. (Many servers do 15 min backups) - Can add additional anti-cheat features. - Players can't ghost (Spot a player on top of a building, change servers, log back in behind that player and kill them) Downside is all your progress is locked to that server, - If the server is empty or decides to stop hosting you can't just join another and continue, you will have to start from scratch. - Private admins don't need to follow the pubic server rules, while the majority of the time this isn't a problem, some will have abusive admins and your only recourse is to play elsewhere. - Private servers vary significantly and are often entirely different experiences to vanilla/public servers, some might have new weapons, vehicles, buildings, some might not allow PvP, some might be 24 hour daylight, others might be exactly the same as vanilla servers. It all depends where you call home.
