Hi, you are welcome to check us out at The BSB Network. We're a social gaming community that is dedicated to fair and fun gaming. We have over 200 players in various Fire teams and groups playing Day Z and using our Teamspeak Server to communicate and coordinate their scavenges and raids. These teams have several bases, vehicles, camps and play across several of our own home servers. The community is mostly adult gamers over the age of 20 (well over in most cases!) but there are no age, time or skill requirements - all we ask is you play fair and have a bit of common sense about you! Our members are based all over the world and are on at all times of the day and night, but all speak English and most are based in the UK and Mainland Europe with some in the US too. We've been gaming as a community since 2002, so we're not some ad-hoc fly by night clan that's been quickly set up and will be gone in the blink of an eye! There is no obligation to join our clan or any of our affiliated clans/groups to take part in our sessions though, everyone is free to urn up and get involved. If you're interested check out or website @ www.bsbnetwork.com and try to hop on our Teamspeak 3 server and say "hi!" 212.187.246.58:9140

Yes, it is entirely possible to modify every aspect of the server. As long as the positions entered are valid and it is set up correctly, your custom items (buildings, vehicles, etc) will spawn. We've added more maps to the list of available ones for servers. The packages will follow along in TCAdmin soon, with the latest few Arma 2 updates. James Warner Vert Hosting

Make ammo rarer and give us the ability to use the rifle butt as a weapon when you run out of ammo. More melee weapons with their own slot so you have a primary, secondary and melee options. Fuel should definitely be rare, but cars and parts not so rare. Also make it only possible to repair vehicles when you have a toolbox Greater customisation of your character in terms of age, gender, race and looks. Almost Skyrim like customisation. Ability to venture underground as well as more enterable buildings - exploring underneath Green Mountain? All in all i just cant wait for Standalone to come out!

Consider the MGL if you add armored vehicles this would give us a fighting chance.

My server is currently not working(AGAIN), tents and vehicles were also gone, and the time of day changed immediately to night. I've made a ticket, this is basically a last straw ticket for us, if we don't get a solution in a reasonable amount of time, we'll be permanently moving to DayZ.st.

You do realize the real 40mm rounds aren't that powerful also I got this from Wikipedia and I quote,"Upon impact, the grenade can kill anyone within the radius of five meters, and wound them within the radius of 15 meters. It can also punch through 2 inches (5.1 cm) of rolled homogeneous armor with a direct hit (0 Degree Obliquity), which means it can penetrate most infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers. It is especially effective when used against enemy infantry formations." Unless those people were with in 5-15 meters of the blast yes they would be in shock, massive blood loss, and of course death. If Rocket adds any armored vehicles to the game or standalone you would wish this weapon would be included in the game.

They are open to everyone for the most part. Some have other requirements. But a private hive just means they are not on the main hive. Its a seperate character for their server, meaning duping is less rampant and kids cannot log into another server, gear up then hop onto the server. Some have more vehicles, usually side chats enabled to promote a community. Overall they're much better than regular servers. You can look into the private hive part of the forum and read up about them a bit if you prefer.

Server Name: (Please include this in the thread title also.)

SInce it seems as if we're just pasting our opinion and hoping it sticks here, I'm for virtually all of the items listed by ruaz(?). As a medical student I'm enamored with the health aspect. It provides so much more depth and cooperation/or/carefullness on the part of the players, making both a new way for bandits to betray/perform their dickery on survivors and subsequently giving survivors more chances to help one another out. For example, if someone enlisted a bandit for help removing bullets or amputating a leg, but they instead just severe an artery with a scapel instead causing them to bleed out (unsaveably) fast, killing them while saving a bullet. So there'd be even more incentive to get people you trust to operate on you. One thing I'm not a fan of though is the weapon degradation, unless it is done correctly. Typical guns today can easily go through a few thousand rounds without giving out with the better variants firing many more than that without being cleaned. If they would mildly hinder or enhance performance by cleaning them or maintaining them every couple hundred plus rounds (Low balling it, preferably many more lasting the life of the gun, not the user) I would be perfectly happy. Additionally, were that to take place it should affect each gun differently. The Colt 1911 and any AK should require much less cleaning than the more finicky weapons. To be honest as well, I didn't read all 30+ pages here to check and make sure I'm not being redundant so I'm sorry if that's the case. Batteries though. There is a distinct lack of batteries in the game from flashlights to all of the higer tech equipment such as NVG's, Red dot sights, et cetera. While granted some scope sights don't require batteries using either Tritium or something along the lines, but most do not and instead need batteries to be anything else besides aesthetically pleasing. Lastly, with the random spawning of weapons and items, I'm for the mediated spawning of military grade items with higher chances in certain areas, but having said that everything should still have a chance to spawn anywhere (except vehicles.) Even if it is a low percentage, it would make many people's days when they were to find a soldiers body with a m249 in an attic or something similar. So in summary: Complicated medicine: Please!, Gun degredation: Maybe . . , and Batteries: please add them

World space coordinates don't work with Panthera though as i have tried :huh: I've added non dayz vehicles into the db just by copying spawn locations from the world vehicle list from another vehicle but making sure i change the vehicle ID to the one i have added. That way the repairing seems to be ok with the new vehicles. :) Also i have added buildings/camp sites to our Panthera map using the deployable tables but that is a right pain in the neck and a long process,also it limited me to 30 units so making a fortified base was difficult if we wanted to make numerous bases.So if there is a new buildings table when will it be implemented and will i be able to keep my bases i've already added without having to re add them?...hopefully i will be able to add more than 30 objects with that :thumbsup:

Austerror DayZ is a new Private Hive Whitelist server. We currently are running the latest @Bliss (v3.6) and the latest ARMA II: OA patch (Build 98220). Side chat has been enabled while the server population grows but once numbers are high enough side chat will be disabled. All saves working (vehicles/tents). Friendly community, no hackers/scripters/wankers. I have had a lot of experience running game servers and pride myself on creating a fair, just and fun gameplay. So come check us out at http://dayz.austerror.com put a little effort into your application (as it is this process that has prevented skiddies from gaining access). Cheers, Dave.

Sorry about the response time guys but I'm all caught up on giving out the password! Server still going strong, everyone seems to be having a great time, hope this keeps up on the way its going. Still lots of vehicles to find. Also, since the server doing so well, I'm leaving the password on 24/7 just to keep it protected. I don't wanna risk everyone's hard work.

US elite, could you PM me with the adde vehicles and weapons, that would be awesome, ive seen alot of the vehicles so far, but none of the weapons, i would love a list :)

Actually, this could work also if it's voluntary. There could be ordinary servers and an option to join a pool of servers where server details such as number of players and who's playing is hidden. If the pool is large enough, the player would know that it would never be practical to try to meet up with someone - and all other players joining the pool would be in the same situation. No player would never know if the server is full or empty. A problem could be tents and vehicles the player have saved. It should be arranged so that tents and vehicles follow the owner. Again, if the pool is large enough any server with a clear area around the player's tent could be selected and then the tent be placed there.

How do you trade vehicles if this is on various servers?

Good story ZCLUTCH - that is the same avenue we went down when deciding on the private hive. Thank you for sharing. As for requested highlights, here's some more info. 1. Regular day/night cycle set to 6 hours behind EST. 12pm noon EST is 6am in game 2. Loot tables (items, chances, spawning spots) are unchanged from official DayZ 3. Vehicles - default saintly spawns (same as official with a few added), black suv added, fishing boat added (only non-blacklisted vehicles) with a max of 75 total vehicles on server. Technically 3 choppers can spawn at any given time 4. Restarts - randomized and daily. lack of schedule is to remove advantage to those players or groups on only at restart to scoop up new items. this brings balance and gives everyone a fair shot at new spawns after restart 5. Whitelisting - server has no password, but requires whitelisting to enter. a white listing application provides information for us to search through communities for a past record of hacking and other malicious behavior. our staff acting on this are very skilled and very objective. put simply, this process has effectively eliminated hacking 6. Backups - if something happens to the server, whether technical problems or its compromised and a hacker sneaks through the cracks, we have complete control and ability to restore it to a point right before the compromise. nobody loses here except hackers

We do our best to provide the most customization options for managed private servers. - we have full database access through phpmyadmin or direct SQL access if needed - you can change the map (through the control panel), and and vehicles (through the database mentioned above) - you can't edit the loot tables or loot spawns because those are actually contained within the client files and can't be changed server-side. - we have automated database backups stored every 30 minutes for up to 48 hours - we have two EU locations: London and Amsterdam A dedicated server would give you even more control, in theory, but would take quite a lot of research and time to set up.

you mean vehicles like the UAZ? I came across one in pretty bad condition at Balota which I think is an official spawn so I assume so.

Bump! 100 Vehicles Now

Incorrect statement there Bub. I was getting 502 errors without touching the database. Hell, I just got it trying to log into my account to check on an open ticket, that has nothing to do with database changes. Refreshing the page once? Really? That works for you? You're one lucky SOB. I've had times where I had to refresh 10-12 times at least. SS says they are fixing it this week. I hope they do, I know I'm as fed up with it as everyone else. It's not just about the 502, it's also about response times, I still don't find 24 hours acceptable, they do, so since we'll never agree on that, I'll move on when my paid up month is over. Example: I opened a ticket Sunday afternoon Sunday, October 21st, 2012 (12:04) When did I get a response? Monday, October 22nd, 2012 (22:11) And then it was to tell me "This should be fixed with our 3.7 release tonight or tomorrow!" At least it was communication, I hope it's accurate, but in the meantime I have people running into randomly spawning solid objects and crashing vehicles. I don't think this particular issue is SS's fault, I just would have appreciated a response a hell of a lot sooner. My problem has never been with the offerings, it's the delivery of them, and the response times. I can put up with less 'stuff' if I get better communications. . I've spent the last 15 years working and running helpdesk and desktop support teams... I know just how far good, frequent, speedy communication will get you, even when the news is not always good, it only gets worse if you have to wait extended periods of time for the bad news. Maybe SS needs a support manager - doing nothing but fielding and prioritizing tickets...

You can convert the worldspace coordinates to ingame coordinates using this tool: http://snuletek.com/arma2coordcalc/ - they are similar to ingame coordinates except they are multiplied by 100 and on chernarus the y coordinate is instead 15360 - y. I believe you can make non-dayz vehicles repairable by adding parts to the database entry (whether not having the parts means the vehicle doesn't function I do not know, I just know it lets you use parts on the vehicle I haven't looked any further). You can add buildings to the deployable tables for now until we support bliss's new buildings tables.
