Work-in-progress interiors continued I was a little reluctant to post another screenshot update, as I hadn’t expected such a huge response to what was really just a quick drop of a few basic screenshots! But I figured sitting on these screenshots was rather pointless, so here they are. One caveat I forgot last time, the interiors do look very clean. Adding gore or deterioration can quickly be overdone, so we feel our first task is to create the interiors and ensure we are happy with the gameplay and quality of the basic texture work - then we will go through to add elements more authentic to the situation. Overall, we believe the experience should have a style more akin to “The Road” rather than gore for gore’s sake. When you find gore in DayZ, it will mean something and have impact. In fact, it will be most likely due to tragedy or betrayal involving a human player. This way, we believe what happens in the world matters, instead of simply adding some crashed buses and blood everywhere. In these screenshots the greater range of buildings that now have interiors is displayed, from the large office buildings, to the hospitals, metalwork factories, through to small cottages. Certainly, we think there will be some compelling events occurring the stairwells of the Hospital’s and office buildings! The first shot is a sneak peak at an entirely new area created on the map by Ivan and Martin, the two developers at Bohemia who are currently being held in Greece. They conducted a revamping of the map to add some new areas, tidy up bugs, and rebalance the placement of ponds, fountains, and such. Ivan was a big fan of DayZ, and the key architect behind the original Chernarus map - so we’re excited to get the map back out into everyone’s use. The usable area of the map is actually extended by their work. Next week we start the final phase of our data migration, which will then result in some new screenshots demonstrating some Take on Helicopter vehicles ported over, giving DayZ access to many types of vehicles from military helicopters, to fire engines, police cars, and all the military and civilian vehicles you are used too from ArmA2. Over the coming weeks, we expect this tumblr to get even more busy. View on Tumblr

You Get What You Pay For Survival Servers, Dayz.st, Hfbservers, Vilayer
SurvivalServers (DayZ) replied to thejackrabbit's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I'd like to see proof of where we were "extremely rude" And you have been compensated for the downtime and all of our tools are being polished up right now. The only tool that is not fully functioning is our map tool to see in game vehicles. Is your server working now? I just posted in your thread yesterday with the following, not seeing the rudeness you speak of: Whats wrong with our service? We offer some of the most advanced features, including rMod, Database access, DayZTools(a program we coded using php) allowing for customizable vehicle settings and all sorts of other fun things. Map tools with in game vehicles and players. 5 different playable maps and competitive pricing. As far as I know, we are the only major provider using the most up to date Bliss private hive v3.6 with BEC and Anti-Hax enabled, which has the fewest bugs and comes out with database updates almost weekly. We might of had 1 issue with the 3.5 release, but we are rock solid now and 3.6 has fixed any ongoing issues. We are continuing to release some of the most innovative features and are always taking suggestions from our customers on ways that we can improve. I have provided a list below of what we are currently working on. Please send me a PM or reply here if there is anything we can do to give you a hand. - rMod server settings / rMod spawn vehicles (Run Task, daily task) - 90% done, ETA 2-3 days - Vehicle spawns based on server settings (requires an update for the new v3.6) - 30% done, ETA 1-2 days - WhitelisterPro server-side implementation (requires finishing some code) - 40% done, ETA 1-2 days - BEC / DayZAntiHax update - 0% done, ETA 1 week - Arma2 beta patch update - 0% done, ETA 2-3 days - DayZTools database backup, migration, restoration tool - 25% done, ETA 1 week -
ITT: Kidnapping stories
Inception. replied to a_casual_banana's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yep. I was playing on a Private Hive and had just respawned near Kamenka. Moments later, I see a URAL come up the road from the west. I stand in the middle of the road hoping for them to run me over [as I wanted to spawn at Cherno to meet up with some friends]. Unfortunately, they stopped and the driver got out. And so did 7 other guys. They were all in Camo clothing [aside from one ghillied guy who had an M24 on him]. They ran around me and started shouting "GET IN THE URAL RIGHT NOW" and stuff. So I happily did as they said. We were driving for about...an hour or so when we reached Pik Kozlovka. I noticed that they had a shittone of tents and a few vehicles hidden up there. High end gear, the lot. I stayed in the back of the URAL to tried and be invisible. Maybe they'd forget about me and I could escape somehow. The driver hopped out of the URAL [to get some more stanag magazines for his L85]. I thought about driving away but they could blow out the tires easily. But then I realised something. Before the driver hopped out, him and I were the only two left in the URAL. He said on vehicle channel that he was "going to get some food" [and thus log out]. But I was the only one who could hear him as it was on vehicle channel... A plan was forming. URAL + steep hill + rocks of Pik Kozlovka = not a very good ride. The other guys didn't know that their driver had left. So I switched to drivers seat and waited. "Alright, let's go raid cherno for shit," said one of the members [i think he was their leader]. They all piled into the URAL and waited for "their" driver to take them down the mountain carefully on the side. Little did they know... I started up the engine and drove over a tent. "The fuck man?" asked the guy sitting beside me. "Shit, sorry, I was texting someone. I'm done now," I replied, hoping that they didn't detect the change of voice tone. They didn't, oddly enough [should have gone to spec savers...]. Oh well. I drove over three more tents and headed down the mountain. "THAT ONE HAD OUR ENGINE PARTS IN THERE YOU FUCKING MORON. That's it, get out Jack. Stop texting you fuckhead, let me drive." Rage filled the back seat. And here comes the cliff... Down goes the URAL, getting air for three seconds. It then impacted with the rock and everyone was knocked out. The URAL exploded, lighting up the dark sky. Surprisingly enough, I was the only survivor. [Why is it that the driver survives but the passengers don't? Weird.] Needless to say, it was absolutely hilarious. -
I think it deserves it's own thread, since it's unique. In this thread, we talk about how we've been kidnapped, or someone we know has been kidnapped. One time, I was a newspawn. I had just found a winchester, and was running towards Balota from Komorovo, and I hear CHAKACHAKACHAKACHAKA. I look up, and north, and sure enough, here comes a Huey swooping down on in me. I try to run, but a burst of automatic fire from the left door gun makes me get behind cover. The chopper lands. I poke out from behind the tree I was hiding behind, and I see it's fully loaded. Pilot, copilot, two gunners, and three passengers. The three passengers get out, and two go prone. They have LMG's. The other one approaches me, sights up with his M4 CCO SD I'm pissing myself now, and ask them what they want over direct chat. He tells me to face away from the chopper and walk out from behind cover. I do so, and double tap control so it looks like my gun isnt at the ready. He tells me to drop my gun and bag, and I do so. Satisfied I'm unarmed, he lets me turn around, then he shoots me in the chest three times. I go unconscious, and he bandages me, and gives me a blood transfusion. It was a 5 minute unconsciousness, so I couldn't see anything as they load me into the chopper. We're in the air, and when I come to, I'm sitting in between the three guys. It was a non-third person server, so I had no idea where I was or where we were going. I ask them what they're doing, and they tell me to shut up, or they'll shoot me. I shut up. After about 5 minutes, they kick me out of the chopper, and one guy gets out with me. The chopper flies about 2 kilometers away from us, and lands. The guy who dropped with me was one of the LMG guys, and he tells me to walk thataway, and if I do anything stupid, he'd shoot me in the legs and make me crawl there. I walk towards the chopper, obscured by trees. Once I get there, I notice that there was a camp. They had 5 vehicles: Military offroad, UAZ, Ural, V3S, and, of course, the Huey. There were tents, too. The guy with the M4 approaches me, but stays about 10 feet away. "Tony, step off our guest. We need to treat them with respect." The guy with the LMG says: "Aye, sir." And walks away. I ask him what I'm supposed to do. He tells me that he and the other 6 already moved all the ammo to the guns into the cars, and that they're moving camp. I asked him what my part in this was, and he just laughed. He told me I was going to do the heavy lifting. He leads me to the tents, and tells me to look inside of them. Every gun in the game, at least 5 of them. He tells me these were all legit, no duping whatsoever. None of them had ammo. There was food and water, too. He tells me to start loading the guns into the V3S and Ural, and not to try anything, since those are void of ammo. I do as he asks, and after about 45 minutes of moving stuff, the guy laughs and tells me I did a great job. He drops his M4 CCO SD, ammo, sidearm, and bag. In the bag, there was food and water, a tool set, and an M249 with one ammo box. He tells me to have a nice day, and he gets in the Huey, and flies off. Everyone else gets in a car, and drives off in pursuit of the Huey. I watched their convoy go for about 20 minutes, then I lost sight of them. I checked my GPS, and headed towards the NW Airfield, with an air of bewilderment about me.

US 1037 has gone private! Many vehicles + side chat + very active admins!
spankimus posted a topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Yep, that's right! The once extreme Elektro deathmatching server has turned private with all the latest fixes included, reverting us back to the good ol' classic DayZ it was from the start! -Hosted by Disturbed-Gamers, we do our best to offer everyone a clean, hack free DayZ experience. We have several admins on throughout the day, there to assist you with whatever problems/questions you have, and also making it easier to combat the hackers. With reboots every few hours, load times and server lag is kept to an absolute minimum, and loot recycled so everyone has a shot at getting gear! -Vehicles will be added in periodically as we receive more regular players... this way they all aren't horded up by just a few people right off the bat. So now is the best time to get in and get your camp setup! -We also have a public TeamSpeak server we allow players in our server to use. You may find the IP in-game by watching the server messages, or simply just ask in side chat! -
You Get What You Pay For Survival Servers, Dayz.st, Hfbservers, Vilayer
[email protected] replied to thejackrabbit's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Another Survival Servers customer here. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with their service and support. I'm now over a week without a server that works right. During some of that week, the server was playable, but there were no vehicles and no placed objects would get saved. The other part of the time, the server wouldn't let players in. I had about one day where there were vehicles, which then broke after a restart. The response from them has been getting increasingly slow, they HAVE gone over their 24 hour response time, and their reimbursement for over a week of downtime/unplayable servers is 5 bucks. From what I gather, there are very few people working at the company, and they seem to be constantly overwhelmed by the number of customers they have, and they like to add features without extensive testing. So, do them a favour and take your business elsewhere. With that in mind, does anyone have suggestions for alternatives? Is Dayz.St better? HFB? Vilayer? -

Hi, I'm Hipax, I'm 13, I have steam under the name Hipax, I have battlelog under the name Medic565. I don't have skype. I have teamspeak. I could install mumble if it's required. I don't care about timezones,as long as you don't care about my age,and I can find a mature [and funny!] group of people to play with. I don't care about vehicles. I don't care about loot. I care about having a good time on DayZ. Yes,I have had vehicles/high end equipment,and yes,I have enjoyed it,But I don't get attached to it. I'm near Otmel on public hive,if you WANT to pick me up that's fine. I won't mooch off the clan. I won't grab equipment unless TOLD to or ALLOWED to. I am not a asshole. I will be a hero OR a bandit,I really don't care. I prefer to find my own loot.

Johnny's Sexy Private Hive The best private hive on Earth! Johnny's Sexy Private HIVE is a tight community that is dedicated to having fun and playing DayZ the meant it was to be played, this means that we have done a overhaul on the loot system and the zombie spawning system. Zombie spawn rates have been increased to promote cooperation in order to achieve a goal. Loot spawn's are different. Hangars seldom spawn loot and instead spawn dusty pilot uniforms and helicopter repair parts. Fire Stations, once a easy military loot grab is now a "police" loot spawn that will spawn SMG's such as MP5's, MP7's and my personal favorite the Glock 18. There are additional vehicles such as the mv22 osprey and the little bird. We are also playing around with additional skins and a construction system to build the base of your dreams. Also all of our weapons ingame have been swapped for Robert Hammer weapons in order to have the highest quality weapons available. Our server has the latest Anti Hack technology, an active administration. Our server requires a password and a whitelist to enter, once we ban someone we can be sure that they will be gone for good. Our server is hosted in Dallas and is actual box and not a vilayer plaything. To join our server: First Download the mod and install it to the best of your abilities. If you have trouble with the install go to Teamspeak and enter the Download Mod -> Requesting Help, once the mod is installed properly or you never had problems with it proceed to requesting interview and we will assist you to get ingame. There are no age restrictions to our community, just be mature and have fun. The download link for the mod is: The download for the hotfix that you need to apply is at: The IP to the teamspeak server is: 66.150.214.207 come here if you need help To install the hotfix, drag the .pbo files into your /@DayZ_JSPHE/Addons folder Have fun and hope to see you out there -Johnny

A Question For Lee-Vilayer, Re; DayZ Planet Glitch
DrainBamaged replied to DrainBamaged's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Apparently you're not reading my posts in their entirety. I'll try to be clearer. HFB has a control panel access that allows admins to see a list of vehicles (I haven't used it in a while because I don't regularly play Chernarus or Lingor or Emita City, but if I remember correctly it also let's you see how much damage each one has.) That's for when you are connected to the actual HFB hive. Survival Servers, which I have absolutely no connection with, offers similar features in their advertisements (as do a multitude of server companies advertising on these forums.) I also think you can see samples of this on their website at http://www.survivalservers.com However, when connected to the Vilayer-DayZ Planet hive, through HFB (say to Fallujah or Takistan, or Utes or Panthera) you aren't given that option. Admins don't know what vehicles should and shouldn't be there. Considering the fact that a crap load of helicopters and a black SUV (that aren't generally in DayZ; see my OP for a list) spawned, and now things have been apprently changed, because they're now all gone ... without any warning ... I'd like to know what will be legit on my servers. Is that hard to understand? Again, I'm not asking for locations or times of spawn. I just want to know what should (or will) be there, and what shouldn't. -

Actually, Again.. you clearly say that " H. F. B. hfbserver.com S U R V I V A L S E R V E R S survivalservers.com Both give admins the ability to see a list of vehicles on their servers. You say you are with HFB... please explain to me again about how you get that information you are saying they offer... But you still say you don't have it???? AGAIN... provide a link... a screenshot... to ANY OTHER PROVIDER OR HIVE THAT OFFERS WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR. All of the things that the community are asking for are being worked on in the DayZPlanet community... Patience is the key. As to the Fanboy part... sorry to bust your bubble...

A Question For Lee-Vilayer, Re; DayZ Planet Glitch
DrainBamaged replied to DrainBamaged's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
OK. I will tell you again, and I'll do it slowly so you can understand. H. F. B. hfbserver.com S U R V I V A L S E R V E R S survivalservers.com Both give admins the ability to see a list of vehicles on their servers. And since I'm connected (currently) to the Vilayer-DayZ Planet Hive via HFB I'd like to know what vehicles and aircraft spawn in. Something the Vilayer-DayZ Planet Hive doesn't allow the HFB client admins to see. So I'm asking for a list, so that, as an admin, I know what should and should not be on my server, especially since they apparently just changed everything. Not to hard to understand. Also. you might think I'm bashing Lee-Vilayer, but I'm not. I appreciate his hard work, but his arrogant answer was, well flippant and arrogant and I didn't appreciate it. All I want is to know what to expect. Furthermore, and I quote you Leadcatcher22, from this thread: http://dayzmod.com/f...h-vilayer-hive/ "Clearly a fanboy or agent of some other hosting company. I know personally that tickets are never unanswered for more than a 24hour period... and that is the extreme time frame. As to the recent issues... they have all been explained and fixed... check the other posts... stop trolling ViLayer and DayZPlanet... They are working very hard.. for FREE, to make this mod better each day." You're doing here exactly what you called the other guy out for ... being a fanboy. I think my gripes and request are pretty damned reasonable, and your BS try at defending is just that ... bullshit. (Edit: "You're" changed to "your" in the final sentence ... I know how INU hates that.) -
A Question For Lee-Vilayer, Re; DayZ Planet Glitch
byrgesen replied to DrainBamaged's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
And what does this have to do with anything omfg.... Just coz other people do it like that, are all suppose to do it? It would not be hard for DayZPlanet to go into the Database, look at the spawn table and tell people, we got theese vehicles on this map. Just a simple service, people would love you for. Nothing else. And he is not asking for the position, just a list of vehicles that are spawnable on the map, so he can answer his users if they ask him about it and so he knows when a hacked vehicles is there. Tbh every admin should know this and if you have database acces, you can find out very easily. Theres no point, at all, to start to ask for "what other people do", it doesnt matter lol. Nobody else were making DayZ when Rocket and the guys started, but that didnt stop them from trying something new. And this is actually not good, admins need to know what vehicles they have on theyre server. Especially with the current hacker scripter situation. Btw, theres no reason to go to a private hoster, if its the same service as everywhere else, why not give people "unique" options insted, they will love it. And on a sidenote. I wanna thank DayZPlanet, for finally giving credit to the creator of the maps you are using. Saw Icebreakr's name in the main menu of Panthera, gj mate. Keep taking steps in that direction and i am sure people will forget this "rough patch" :) -

[email protected] replied to SurvivalServers (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Yeah, so I retract my earlier statement about my server being fixed. It STILL isn't! I placed a new tent and a wire fence, saved it, and restarted the server. Not only is the tent and wire fence gone, but so are ALL of my vehicles! I also got stuck on the loading screen when first entering the server after a restart, I had to log onto another community hive server, then log onto mine in order to get in. What's the deal? This STILL isn't working right! I would also like to know when I'll be receiving reimbursement for all this downtime, and I'd also like to know if all I'm getting is 5 bucks, because after over a WEEK without a properly working server, that's pretty insulting. -
A Question For Lee-Vilayer, Re; DayZ Planet Glitch
DrainBamaged replied to DrainBamaged's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Pick one. HFB has a control panel in the works (for their hive) that allows me to see the vehicles. I can also despawn sandbags, concertina wire, and tanktraps, but that's beside the point. Survival Servers also gives their admins this access (although I haven't seen it first hand.) I've also seen many advertisements in the "server" section of this forum from multiple companies offering the ability to see which vehicles are on your server, and the ability to control their spawn in some fashion or another. So, just pick one. And let's be crystal clear here: I'm asking, as an admin, for a list of legit vehicles/aircraft on the Vilayer-DayZ Planet Hive. Not gear. Not ammunition. Not weapons. Not spawn times. Not spawn locations. Just a simple list of vehicles and aircraft that should, at some point, spawn into my servers. -

The goal in Dayz should be survive, not pvp
wolfstriked replied to ElysionField's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
The way I see it every town should have spawns more abundant the closer to its center you get and then have infected running in buildings and being drawn to the screams of other infected like they do to a weapon being fired.This way running thru towns becomes a very bad move but one that must be done at times if you really want to survive.This gives the feeling that its safeR to search the outskirts then to go deeper into the towns as it should be.And if you do get spotted inside towns you better have alot of ammo on you.This would make snipers waiting deep in the woods not shoot the poor sod who is trying to get something from deep in towns as they would then have to risk their own hides to go in and retrieve the loot.Better to wait for the poor sods to escape and then put a bullet in their heads!! Hospitals should always be dead center of town. Get rid of all farm animals and keep rabbits and add in deer as main food sources that you can hunt to force a gameplay of do or die.This will remove the get geared up and just live in the woods thing.Can't seem to catch a rabbit then its time to enter some towns sucka,Good Luck!! Maybe set traps that you can mark on your map to keep a supply of food going?And remove the bloodloss from hunger as this is allows this idea to work. Great that the lakes and wells are being placed everywhere on map.But IMO Canteens should be very rare with players allowed to drink straight from water sources.My last character I was carrying around 5 canteens and never felt worried.I force myself to only carry one now and its better but I am constantly looking for water.Great to hear that canteens will be three swigs to empty as that makes a nice balance. Forgot to add..... We need more tools and not just a tool box.The game is sweet when you find that super important compass right?Its like FUCK YEAH just what I need.So make a wrench for engine repairs,a wire cutter to jump start vehicles and get thru barbwire,crowbars to crack open locks,tire irons to change tires etc etc.And no carrying on belt all the bull crap(axes,tool boxes etc) as the game needs the feel of decisions decisions of what to take or leave behind. -
Consolidated Weapons/Equipment suggestions
!? Joker replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Definitely like Helbrechts idea. There are always war museums all around in different countries, granted the weapons/vehicles they have on display have been deactivated (Engines removed, firing pins removed, bolts welded), but that doesn't mean you couldn't get parts from different weapons to apply to others (like previously suggested, finding suppressors) or parts to repair your broken weapons that you've been beating all to hell in the forest as you've been running around mercing zambies. Along with what he has stated, though, there should be an extremely rare chance to find previous-era weapons in some residential locations, given that there are plenty of collectors out there that love to own and display these things. Maybe not quite an MG42, but Kar98K is definitely possible. Now, as for the winter idea; That'd be great, given that finding the appropriate clothing for the climate is possible. The question is whether or not the infected actually have circulating blood. If they don't, then the temperate isn't an issue for them freezing to death, but it'd definitely cause muscles to tighten and make it more difficult for them to move, which would give you an upper hand. The other issue is snow accumulation: How well would you be able to run through deep snow? How deep would the snow get? Would it cause ice to form on the roads and cause hazardous conditions for driving? Would some of the debris that could damage your vehicle become covered and cause people to smash in to it? Could trucks get snow chains on the tires? Would survivors be able to find snowshoes, or maybe even improvise tennis rackets or planks of wood to use on their feet? Would the cold climate obscure the infected heat signatures in thermal? Would vehicles leave tire tracks in the snow that someone could follow to your camp? Different climates are definitely something that'd be awesome to have implemented and could really change up game play. -

I fail to see how allowing EU players, who had no option but to play on the US server if they wanted to play, a temporary period of time in which they can transfer their characters over to the new EU server is unfair or "ruins" the mod for you. [1] About 8-10 people total have transferred in total out of the 400 some whitelistings in place [2] It's temporary. I am ending support for transfers on Monday. [3] I *kill* off their US character in the DB, ensuring no gear is duplicated in the process. [4] Only their inventory is transferred. I did not transfer their player location, so they started on the coast with everyone else. [5] No vehicles or tents were transferred, ensuring a "fresh" map for all. As has been pointed out already, Rocket essentially has an "always on" character transfer via The Hive. Brand new public hive server up? Just login and you immediately have your gear you gained from a long running server. Additionally, by your logic the entire server becomes immediately unfair the second that I, as a player, die. Because now they have gear and I don't. The point I'm trying to make there is - what's the difference between... [A] logging into a server where someone has gear because they had transferred from another server logging into a server where someone has gear because they gained it on another server and it's a multi-server hive (like Vilayer's hive or the public hive) [C] logging into a server where someone has gear because they were playing for hours before you had a chance to login. In my opinion, nothing. They all have the same effect on your gameplay. Applying your logic, the only way to make DayZ fair would be to remove the persistent nature of the server. Have the server restart fresh with no characters/tents/vehicles saved every few hours and make sure everyone starts at the same time with the same gear. I honestly didn't think people would refuse to play the mod because I set 8-10 out of 400+ people transfer (gear only) to the EU server. I'm sure at least half of those 8-10 have since died and lost it all anyway by now. But, you're welcome to your opinion.
