Me and a couple buddies have been playing Jeremy Beckett's servers for a while now. He lost almost all of his players when he switched over to Panthera so you'd pretty much have the lion's share in terms of items/vehicles/choppers/planes/boats. Very stable server, I have yet to have any of my tents/vehicles disappear (got 4 tents, 4 vehicles and 2 choppers). It's a whitelisted, passworded private hive so I have yet to see a hacker in there. Very quiet server though, as I said it's mostly just me and a couple other guys right now. So if you want a busy server this is not the one for you. His email is [email protected].

A funny PM from a player; "Remember I gave you a lovely shiny new chopper (which admittedly Cipher did crash), any chance you could return the favour slightly and use one of your vehicles to run some morphine to my broken and ruined legs as I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with a fracture and no morphine? Pretty please? With a panda sized cherry on top?"

Thanks for the help guys but those methods are a little over my point-and-click head lol.... Ersans feature on the map of dynamically inserting vehicles/spawns is the cat's ass... If we could do that with buildings etc.. it wouid be awesome. Sandbag structures etc... I figured out how to add vehicle inventory to a spawned vehicle but damn, that even took me several hours lol...

Still no vehicles on our server 7days on from when it went live. Nothing in logs, nothing when running around. Server has been rebooted each night and nothing, not even a bicycle

First-Off... These servers are great! I rented mine a few days ago and so far everything is good! Some Questions: #1. When you just ADD a vehicle (not a spawn) is there anyway to repair/refuel ALL of the added vehicles at once or do you need to go one-by-one? #2. My database is over 600 vehicles now, even though 600 do not exist on the map. Is this because I hit the "Spawn" button in the control panel? #3. When will we have the ability to add buildings/items through the map interface? That will kick ass! Some Feature Requests: #1. The ability to KILL/RESET a player in specific circumstances ( i had a guy last night crash a plane waaaaay outside the map and he swam for over an hour before he died). He asked Admin to "Kill" him so he could come back, but I couldn't figure out how. #2. The ability to control a vehicle inventory loadout when you create the vehicle (not through database). #3. The ability to add buildings/structures/items into the map (I know it's coming - just really want it!) #4. The ability to drag and drop vehicles to different locations on the server side map (not sure if it's even possible????) Right now a vehicle must be deleted and recreated to change location. I know there is more but I can't think of any at the moment... For $30.00 a month it's a pretty good deal guys. I'm quite happy with the setup, for a guy that doesn't do a lot of coding etc... It's an easy interface to learn and use and support has been fast and helpful.

Spamming the forums with lies? Tell you what everyone who's reading this 192.198.81.6:2302 is my server IP let's see when someone actually gets in I paid for a server till December 4th I'll edit my post it has worked for more than 5 days in terms of letting people log in everything else I have said is true. We have had a 3 day period of total downtime already and of course the current one, plus the two days it took you to set the server up. I'll subtract them from the total number of days you actually managed on the 4th when I post my final thoughts on your company. However as for spawning vehicles correctly I'd say there was maybe a week where it was working and we all know how long your servers have been out of date for. You claimed this was so you could deploy the updates bug free, good job on that rofl. edit: HHAHA looks like I replied quick enough to catch your post before you edited it. Enjoy the drama as I said I really don't care my server is down I moved to a competant host. Why don't you do everyone in this thread a favor and end their contracts too.

Carz are now not as fun to use. The patch that made engines more common crowded out tires (which you need more of). The patch that took away the repair glitch, has made cars feel even more like paper... fragile pieces of glass. Before you could race, play around, have fun. There was always the risk of a serious wreck... hurting yourself, totaling the car, etc. But now... when even a minor, tiny bump totals a car and then you have to spend hours grinding for parts... its just not fun. I understand it was a glitch, but it really made the game more playable and entertaining. Some of the best times I and my friends have had have been with vehicles. Solution: 1. Either bring back the repair glitch, or 2. Make cars tougher AND wheels more plentiful. Don't turn the game into a grind fest please... keep it fun.

Started a new private hive: US Big Baby Promo Vid (footage is lacking, server is only about a week old) Current Features are 216.245.223.154:13302 Veteran 40 man 3rd Person Side chat (can change later if people don't like) Crosshairs NO TAGS NO THERMALS NO AS50 NO DUPING More Vehicles Active Admins Player Events Future possibly whitelisting GMT+11 We've got a website up at http://fight2012.com/ Looking for more clans/survivors/bandits to join in on the fun. The CDA clan joined early, and is amassing alot of power in the form of choppers and vehicles and weapons. Somebody needs to come in and TAKE THEM DOWN. Tried to fight them off a the NW airfield, but only 2 of us vs a chopper and 4+ men with reinforcements was just too much (video coming soon) Shoot me an email, if you're a clan looking for a home maybe i'll drive a vehicle to ya as a present. -NiteNite

Hi, about 25 minutes ago i got hacked on the server in the Title. This is what happened: Me and my friend found a van north of Stary Sobor (my ingame name was dogSWAG ;)). shortly after, while we were driving around, we were ported to a position in the south-west corner of the map, it looked like all the vehicles on the server were ported along with us (bikes, cars etc.). my friend logged out, i got shot trying to drive away shortly after by an invisible(?) sniper, sounded like he had a M107. I'd appreciate it if you looked into this, this sort of stuff is really annoying. Anyways, i feel that hacking became less frequent over the last few months, which is really great and keeps this awesome game playable... I know that i can't get my gear back, which is really sad... but maybe you can get him banned, that would be a good substitute. Thank you in advance, Tyga

Killed by a script kiddie group a couple of days ago. Found a L85 a day before that from an ATV when I was still playing in 1.7.3 (I had been alive for 2 weeks and just killing zombies, it was also the first L85 in my 120 game hour history). Now the game seems pointless to me, I scavenged 2 weeks with my friends for items and vehicles and when you finally found what you wanted, bam, it's gone and seems to be almost unavailable to find anymore without killing anyone.

Sorry no little birds - standard vehicles only. I just thought it was 'strange' to go to four (4) different chopper crashes and no crew Zeds. I have not changed the vehicles, spawn or loot tables. Before 1.7.4.4 crew Zeds were always at the chopper crash sites then I do the update and four (4) crashes in a row no Zeds

For the vehicles you must have a Tool Box to repair. Same thing was found with the jerry cans but they do loot spawn and you can drive or hover next to a gas pump and it will refuel on its own.

I add the rMod weapons through randomly placed ammo crates or boxes and just move or refill them on restarts. Can't remember who but someone on this topic offered that advice to me. Just spawn them in like vehicles except nobody can drive off with them. What I would like to see or figure out is a way to get the rMod custom player models/skins working. It would add a lot more variety to the server and really help players and clans distinguish themselves.

kay, turns out as far as I am concerned the dupe thing doesn't work anymore, won't let me save vehicles or save tents. So down with that bug! yay. Still got the AS50 and ammo :3

I am with a community called PCGN and we have the resources you need to pull this off. First, the server. Our private servers are nicely ran, whitelisted, and managed by admins who know what they're doing. We can add new assets to the map whether it's buildings (to make the raceway known) or it's vehicles to get everything setup and the cameras rolling in the helicopters. We do events like this which require knowledge of manipulating the database, then restoring it after the event to its default state with everybody having what they left off with. Second, streams! Nearly completed, PCGN.TV is exactly what you're looking for. This is where I host the community streamers and youtube archives. Check it out here. I can build a page with multiple streams on it in a wall. Chopper cameras can be all placed there for viewers to see every angle at once and maximize them at leisure. Another page can have the racers. Another page the chaos inducers, and so on. please visit us at www.pc-gamers.net and we can chat more about this on teamspeak!

Vehicles on private hives are really easy. My group has 2 Mi-17's, 2 little birds, a Huey, and we know the location of a pickup, military offroad, and a uaz. It's ridiculous really. Sure, the admin is having problems with chopper spawns. It's just crazy how easy vehicles seem now. They need nerfed. And vehicles ought to be weak. In real life you don't just go smashing shit and come out OK.

The server is set to 35 vehicles. All new unbanned vehicles are spawing Mac

I'm having loads of fun on the BSM server. Literally minimal hacking and UK based! Check it out man: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/107612-british-sergeants-mess-bsm-fully-admind-more-loot-vehicles-weapons/

This is not an entirely new idea, but this post is more about how it could be implicated into the DayZ standalone. Discovering the past through journals, notes, and other written material or signs- These notes (just call them this for short) would give us a snap shot into the world before the virus hit, during the outbreak and the aftermath. These notes are not focused on telling the narrative of the game’s story but only to give glimpses of events through these unknown people’s eyes and how it impacted them. Examples: Player would search houses or locations and discover a note. When reading the note you will be looking at a one-page dairy of a little girl who talks about how she can’t wait for her field trip on XX date. Another note might talk about how their military vehicles are being seen coming into the area. He writes how his parents tell him; there is nothing to worry about. A note might talk about how there is a thick smell in the air from the burning of the individuals who came down with the virus. When the wind blows in their town's direction it can be almost unbarring. There have been many who have thrown up because of the smell. A mother’s note telling how there is talk about some virus, making people violent. The soldiers tell me to continue my day’s work but at night, I hear these screams, in the distance, and gun fire. She mentions how she wants to leave with her husband and child, but the soldiers won’t allow us. Some notes can be the helpful, one note might have written down a location where someone hides some can goods to make sure the loots can’t take their last of their food. There would be locations and given steps or meters from a certain barn equals the location of the small stock pile. The player can then use the note and find the stock pile with a shovel if it’s buried under the ground or rock. How this would work in game mechanics: Just as the player comes in and there is spawned items/loot, there is a chance that a note will be present, but you must look for it. Notes should be not out in the open, ideally if looting a place involves searching actual desks, beds, and closets. (Basically mouse over and click to search, and it will be a success or fail to find anything in desk) As for burred items, these should only spawn if the player has the note as the trigger. The amount of items in this little buried container should be random so sometimes you find little and others you find an extra can or two of food. A lot of this feature and the glimpses it would show the player would be determined by the narrative of the virus and how Rocket and team see how the outbreak happens. The notes should be from non important people not the key general on the base. Goal of this feature is to create an emotional grounding of the world you are in. Players will stop and read about a family who might have survived or might have been killed or became infected. A reminder to the player who people once lived here and had hopes and dreams, which are now gone. Their world is destroyed, and you will read in the notes how they struggled and lived before and during the outbreak. These notes are the focus to reflect the struggles that the player is also facing. Do I kill the looter or use warning shots to scare them away? A man telling how he shot his friend over a fight for some food and now how he fears that others might kill him. These notes could really show how bad things got and how the stress of the outbreak and chaos might have led to bad or justified decisions. Others might express how they won’t give into the chaos; they must be strong and stable for their family. The possible little antidotes are endless. What do you think?

I think a lot of people would like to be able to, hopefully the bliss guys bring in some kind of system for modifying it or at least modifying the loot that spawns at the Wrecks/Care packages bliss spawns. In the mean time you can manually place lots of guns that aren't in vanilla dayz into tents vehicles or players without any problems (besides a few of the MG's deleting your backpack). If I can do it in SQL I'm planning on setting up a camp at one of the airfields with a few tents and then randomly placing custom weapons and ammo into them before the server restarts.

They used to, not sure if thats still the case. Theres a server manager tool being installed with this update so I'll need to set the vehicles to max again (500) to get everything possible. We wont get 500 but well get the maximum for Chernarus :)

Hey Reggie, We have numerous groups on our server that like to engage in PvP. We have also decided to break up our community/clan group into smaller squads so that we dont just roll others over with weight of numbers, these squads will be hostile with each other even if we're wearing the same clan tag. Public and Private TS3 channels are provided. Server is heavily populated and has custom weapons, towns and military installations. Our advertising/discussion thread is here - http://dayzmod.com/f....vehicles-more/ It would be good to have another organised group for even more PvP battles.

Our UK server is currently booming with vehicles. There are too many. The highest population so far has been 15 and due to its infancy is ripe for an established unit to set up its forces. We've got care packages, wrecked hercules, 3 x Mi17, 5 hueys, vehicles in almost every town! We are actually welcoming clans to call us home for the PVP aspect and excitement that comes with the game. We encourage the survival aspect and regularly hand out vehicles, weapons but I think most will agree a lot of enjoyment comes from defending assets and attacking and finding others' bases. There is no use getting fat in our camps sitting in a different vehicle every day, is there? See this thread for our server spec and details. Reports of smooth and lag free experience are common. http://dayzmod.com/f...hicles-weapons/ The server is less than a month in age and has it all for the taking.

Hey man if your looken for an American Server, take a look at mine, we have on average about 15 people i would say, and your 6 would make it much better! Heres the link: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/107489-military-survival-rmod-100-vehicles-247-day-custom-clan-bases/

You already responded to my ticket thought I'd post it here for everyone to see I cancelled my subscription but my server was meant to be active until the subscription ended how am I meant to notify the few users we have left if you have terminated it? I didn't tick the option to have the service end immediately, so now YOU have terminated my server which still has time remaining on it's contract until December 4th because I replied to your earlier comment about it being fixed when it was still in the exact same state as before with: Can you not understand why a customer might be angry when they have received the service I have? Or maybe you are just so busy frantically fixing hundreds of broken servers that you don't give a shit about customers who are cancelling at the end of the month. Your infrastructure sucks and you don't understand automation or testing in the slightest. I honestly don't care by this point I doubt you'll manage to ever get my server back up. I'll just make sure I post as much as I can here and in other threads documenting the shocking service I have received from your host so others can see and hopefully don't ever make the same mistake I did of using your hosting. I have records of all my support tickets and the responses, as well as records of how long the server has been down or unavailable. I will be sharing my full experiences with your hosting company everywhere I can so other users don't make the same mistake I did of choosing you as a host. I paid for 4 weeks hosting with you, I received 2 days of downtime whilst you set the server up, and now it is completely inaccessible yet again. It has always been out of date and buggy humanity, vehicles not spawning damaged etc. Even if I hadn't cancelled my subscription before you tried to deploy these updates I definitely would have afterwards, but I am contracted till the 4th and you should be supporting my server until then. The most tragic part is you had the cheek to call me unprofessional.
