NavicatLite to connect to db Then you are able to enter and manipulate the tables inside the database. If you don't know how to enter a new vehicles, just take one of them in the table and copy it, then just adjust the possition a little(so it is not parked ontop of the one u just copied) I presume you have the database running on a pc you have access to. For MySql the tool is called "workbench" if i'm correct, but Navicat works fine. i'm using this privat hive setup : http://www.tunngle.n...iles-pack-1726/

OP has a good point here. At first I really cared about my stuff. After getting killed a couple of times you lose that affection, especially if the cause was a hacker. Conclusion: Gearing up is only interesting until you are strong enough to take on other players. That's relatively easy and not really time consuming. Getting and keeping vehicles is out of the question for a loner, especially when he can only play a couple of hours a week, as normal with people having a life....and playing on different servers each time. So there's no reason to bother with that unless beeing lucky or able to steal/carjack from someone else. Same with keeping a camp. The so called endgame for such players can only be fucking around with other players like trolling or just killing them on sight hence trying to be friendly most of the times will not be rewarded. The only solution I see for now is going on a private hive and trying to stick to a single server. There you might make friends or keep a camp or something. You might...

LOL - I am even lazy to flame this post at the rate it deserves to be flamed. What boy? What do you suggest? What a great idea to move all these MILLIONS of hacked and duplicated items in the standalone? Uh? Yeah...you should start immediately to stack another 10 tents with AS50s, DMRs, Ghillies, ext. However, you have forgotten vehicles! What about them? and the Helis! YES! Move everything that ruined DayZ game experience to the point to have 50K active players in the past 24H instead of 600K just 2 months ago.

There's this guy on the server 85.131.229.167:2302 (Server name is DayZLingor DE 101 ~200 vehicles) He went by the name of L30n4rd or something like that, after I told him he'd be reported he changed name to EG0. He is currently playing there right now. basically he has gatherd tons of cars on the island northeast of Maruko and wont let anyone near there. I drove my car there and he immideatly said in the side chanel "Dont drive there bernie it's my teritory". And before I have time to finish the sentence im insta killed, he comes back and drags my body elsewhere and vanishes with my pickup truck, As I don't like hackers no matter what I started to run abck there and I hear gunshots. He keeps missing and then he decides to insta break my legs and kill me again. I'm not sure he's the Admin but if there's an admin reading this now you have good chances of getting this player banned. Sadly all my printscreens are to no help since I use dual monitors and instead of getting screenshots of the game I only got screens of my desktop. Edit: The camp hes guarding with all the vehicles is called Puenta malargo

My motivation is gone under my shoes by a while already... my crew is playing Arma2 MP missions atm.. it was impossible to do anything in dayz due to cheaters everywhere. I was thinking to create a sort of "police" on the private hive servers.. basically ppl *cheating* but with no weapons, just lurking the other players, finding ppl teleporting around, or spawning stuff, or acting "oddly" (ie: a new spawn that goes directly to a bike, then goes to a tent.. kwnowing perfectly where they are placed, miles away). That is basically what we're doing to collect the (undetected) cheaters right now, but using an algorythm to determine if someone is cheating or not... with the difference that a "real" person is a way smarter than a PC. The only (isn't that small) problem is that you need to trust that players, even if they doesn't carry a weapon, they may know every player/vehicles/anything position on the server, and with the amount of "kids" playing this game.. you can't really trust anyone. The other problem is that you'll be flagged as "cheater" (even if your intentions are "good") .. and so you gonna risk your KEY (and so your money). And last but not least: how to find someone that have enough time to look around without playing? It must be a serious nerd! :)

I think little things that add a little authenticity to the experience are vital. Drinking directly from a pond or lake, picking apples and pumpkins included. OK, so a can opener may not seem a big deal but have you ever really tried to open a can without one? Not all cans have pull tabs. Grab an axe, place a tin of beans on the ground and give it a whack - tell me what happens? Tin openers, like boxes of matches would definitely be one of the first things someone should grab. Have you seen Mad Max 2 - he has a can opener on his tool belt. Vital! To be honest i would also like it only be possible to fix vehicles if you had a toolbox. Please explain how you could change a tyre, fix an engine and install a rotor blade without one?

In the database there should be a table with all the vehicles and there spawn points, just add some more to the table :)

Not sure if you guys would ever have had a look at the navigator (Hope you havn't) but I've had people on my skype contacts watch a worrying amount of people go straight to spawned vehicles or other concealed players. More people use the navigator than I first thought, it's actually a bigger problem to me right now than the scripters.

most bandits are people who play alone and therefore have not enough manpower to do large scale operations of hoarding, I'm sure you'll see everything differently if you join a so called "hoarders" clan, my personal experience is that you will end up with camps so big that if someone discovers it they will feel put off on stealing stuff or blowing everything up, because not only are there not enough satchel charges, there's also too much stuff to carry by a single person, and too many vehicles to dedicate yourself into driving them away, knowing that they will come back to take it from you. Not to count the fact these will be in low pop unadvertised servers with active admins

So I've been trying to find out how to add more vehicles to my private hive, I'll mention I am using HFB for server hosts for my private hive, I have searched but I yet to really find anything useful on how to add them. I was wondering If anyone can help point me in the right direction and give me some advice, this would be greatly appreciated. It's not like I'm a moron or anything, I'm just new to this part, so like I said if you can just point me to the right spot it will be more than enough. Thanks.

Can't say I've had this experience you're talking about. My tents and vehicles have been fine so far but as I leave them in one spot, I know at some point someone will find them eventually - law of averages. Of course you could RELOCATE your base each day or two but that's too much work I guess. Ur also bitching about a game that allows hacking knowing that the SA will address this. Reading that u already play on private hives i'm wondering which ones since the ones i play on seem perfectly well admin'd

Hi, don't forget you need to keep in mind people can only help you if they know what server you play on - unless you're willing to play on another server where they have a spare car for you to use. In which case, why not join one of the servers that runs with extra vehicles - I know one where I'm always running into them but I'm not really interested in vehicles so I don't bother with them. Edit, I see you did add the server details, well done. I think sticking with one server seems to be quite popular but I've never done it. I'm just glad to find any server that has a low enough ping for me to access it! But as I say, there are servers in the list that have in their title "extra vehicles" and I saw one with "100 vehicles". There isn't a trick. But if you play only one server then remember the admin knows exactly where all vehicles are and when the restarts will be. That means sadly, some of them take the vehicles. Good luck, friend! :thumbsup:

Ybm, I'm convinced the last dayz update was messed with by some intern because spawning has become unreliable and unpredictable. From day one, I can sometimes arrive in a town and find nothing but but empty cans and backpacks. However, I'd be interested in knowing how much, if any control server admins have over loot spawning - apart from freqency. You often see "server restarts every 6 hours" or similar messages but I know of servers where the loot simply doesn't respawn and the vehicles either. And in one instance I was told it was because the admin was busy is real life and had no time to restart the server, so no new stuff. I don't know if that's true but it's certainly a concern. I've gone back the following day and the same stuff is still on the ground in the fire station, for example, so no new weapons, for day after day. Does anyone know for a fact if that could be the problem? Second time today I have to say, I agree with Filas. There's a lot of hanging around waiting for respawns rather than actually playing. I find myself wondering if Rocket ever checks these things by spending an hour running the game anymore. It's the only way he'll ever understand what impact these issues have on how we play and what it makes us feel about the game.

Personally i do not agree with all of your ideas, but its all personal opinions, and i respect yours, like you hopefully respect mine. I dont like the idea of NPC,s. Just the knowlage that there is people on the map that will pontentionally help you takes away from the uncertainess of DayZ. The core part of the mod is human interaction. And if you have NPC,s where you know what their actions will be, it takes away from the feeling of having to trust or interact with other human beeings. I like the ideas of adding more random loot spawns (truck crashes, beached military boat, etc.), and i like the idea of more vehicles. I also you think you should be able to harvest parts from the broken down cars you see all over the roads. Loot is not as tight focused as you make it out to be. I have between 200-300 hours of playtime in DayZ and ive been to the airfield 2 times, Stary 2, Cherno 3 and Elektro 1. Anything needed to survive can be gotten in any supermarket and a deerstand. Anyone who goes to the airfield, Stary or Cherno/Elektro properly deserves to get shot :P

I mostly play on private hives, including some of the whitelisted ones that I won't name, but Im sure you know the ones I am takling about. Even in the whitelisted ones, there are players clearly using navigator/ESP hacks and teleporting. These are the two main threats to tents. Ive had a few times where I have walked away from a full tent and returned 30 minutes later after one loot run and found the tent empty. And yet another person completely misses the point. This isn't about me. Its an experience everyone has. There is no point in working towards this stuff because its just going to be stolen/destroyed when you cannot protect it. There are reasons why there are so many bandits in this game. This is a major reason for it. People could occupy their time by completing these tasks like repairing vehicles, but theres no point. The current setup of tents and vehicles where you have to be online 24/7 to protect them just isn't going to cut it in standalone. I apologize, but Im going to say the W word. WarZ is implementing a system called "stronghold" where you can store stuff whilst your offline. It can be set to private or public. If its private players can only get access to this area if invited. If its public, anyone can access it. I really am hoping that this underground system that Rocket is talking about in DayZ will be the same. With more content that isn't griefed overnight players won't be so aggressive and KOS so often. Because there will be more worthwhile things to do than kill other players.

don't care about npcs but i like the more vehicles idea and i feel the same..when playing solo once i'm geared i don't know what to do..i have simple needs..an assault rifle makes me happy and i use fearlessly flares and chemlights in the night...navigation is one of my favourite things and i like making sniping ranges with the map too..so i don't need nvgs, rangefinder or gps. i don't need an as50. i wonder around in barns and corner shops aiming to find a tent or a czz and that's all.

There are vehicles ;)

We've had a fair amount of tents and vehicles which went unnoticed for weeks at a time, despite having 10-20 players on during peak hours. Apart from a bunch of teleporting hackers last weekend I don't think anything was found illegitimately. Actually most of our compromised tents were at the borders of the map, any tents in the middle of the map remained hidden far longer (in fact this was the case on more than one server).

I don't really care. Its limiting the gameplay. I want to branch out into things other than raping scrubs in this game. Turns out theres no point. Its easier to keeping my shit up by griefing others than it is to play nicely. I really don't see how people aren't seeing this. And really please stop giving me tips on how to hide tents. For real, Ive fucking placed them all over the map and lost them everywhere on the map. I didn't start playing this game yesterday. If Rocket doesn't implement a system in standalone where you don't have to be online 24 hours a day 7 days a week, all this game will ever be is bandits killing survivors. And yeah I went on a killing spree this afternoon. Had more fun doing that. Almost died once to a ghoster who logged after I killed his mate and then relogged while I was looting his mates body. One more hit and I was gone but I got that bitch and enjoyed it more than the 20 hours of loot farming to repair up vehicles on the weekend.

Quite some nice ideas there RyanK. I agree with most of your ideas, and yes, you should definitely be able to change weapons while moving. AND YES YES YES, Passengers should be able to shoot in vehicles. Also, I'd like to add, that you are not allowed to take stuff out of someone if they are already using it - e.g. gun. Also, another thing I like to add is detection, if you try to open another player's bag it may send a warning to the other player, (sort of like thievery in skyrim) so the more you do this the better you get, but this is how I think it should be somewhere about - 35% detection for new players stealing other new players items. Veteran players will have a heightened sense, and will increase the detection warning making it harder to steal from, and players who do this a lot have a less chance of being detected, but please note: Stealing from friends will only work once - as in, you can only get better from stealing from the same person once, AND ONLY ONCE - until they are killed that is. And with the birds, I've said this already, you should be able to shoot birds as well as loot them for meat, and your pet dog can be a retriever for you. Also I totally agree with the fact that snipers need to take in wind magnitude direction, bullet drop as well as the Coriolis effect http://www.youtube.c...?v=9P9XKbYa--g. Well, maybe not the last one (since that is a bit complicated) The only thing I disagree with, is the flame arrows really, I think its because of the consequences it has. 1. Its a bit rpg like which is not what dayz is about 2. what happens if you miss? You set the trees and house on fire 3. what happens if you hit? The person/zombie gets set ablaze (gives your position away) so it might not be worth putting fire on arrows. And to add an idea on with the arrows, there should be shoddy arrows which you can craft from wood cut with a wood-chopping axe, sharp tip, and you should be able to add arrowhead tips if your skilled enough. Theres also several types of bows: Hunting, Shoddy crafted one, Marksman - used in sport. But yeah, many good suggestions, some which have already been suggested, and the only I really disagree with is the flaming arrows.

Yeah unfortunately I lost all the gear I traded you for due to my tractor exploding because of dayz beautiful bugs of vehicles getting stuck in objects and exploding :L just wasn't a good day for me yesterday

And then we lost all the things... But we're going to be getting lots and lots of vehicles, so there's that.

honestly all you idiots saying hide your stuff better have no clue just how rampent that Navigator hack is and how inept the anti cheat is at detecting it. We recently did a test, we took 10 tents, put them up in the middle of no where literally right at the edge of the map right in one of the corners, we also moved 4 cars there, tents and cars were all empty we left the engines running, we sat for a few hours, you would not beleive the number of people who literally logged in, or spawned and then ran in a direct line right all the camp and all its vehicles, and not one of them got detected by battle eye or anti cheat gotcha thing. its staggering the number of people you play with every day and simply have no idea just how many of them are actually cheating. SO NO!.. Until that shit gets fixed, or detected you can say to him, hide your stuff better, what you could suggest is that he hide his stuff as far north as possible, the only benefit to this is that he can hope some other noob has hidden his stuff closer to the hacker, we all know their lazy bastards and will take what ever is closest, also NEVER take high value cars, flatbeds, urals, leave them alone the hackers will ALWAYs go for them. I find sticking to the littl blue van, and bikes to be best.

Don't hide vehicles near your tents...

Dude, if you worked so hard to get to that point, you should have hidden your vehicles and tents FAR better than it seems you did. I you did hide them REALLY REALLY well and someone else found them, then so they should go for a joy ride. I would.
