Custom Vehicles/Buildings Question

[celticbagger 0]

Is there a way to have custom vehicles/buildings on a private hive without installing any mods like Bliss or DayZCC? I have scoured google for a few hours now and all I seemed to come up with was adding to world_vehicle and instance tables. In my installation I didn't use any mods like this and just downloaded the @dayz1.7.7 server files and added them to my arma2 installation. The server is up and running great, but I just don't know where to begin customizing without having to install DayZCC, Bliss, etc...

Also... is it because I am on 1.7.7, now that I only have 7 tables (character_data, character_dead, object_classes,object_data, object_spawns, player_data, & player_login) in the database? Before, on1.7.6.1, I had many different world_ids and instance tables, etc and could add custom buildings and vehcile spawns... though the initial install was with DayZCC which could be the reason too. I was just wondering if 1.7.7 changed the database schema or if I can cjust add these "instance" tables and the DayZ server will just find them or if those old tables had something to do with DayZCC.

And yet another question -- I noticed it takes around 45 minutes for UH-1Y helicopters crash spawn to spawn on my server. Is that normal?

I am kind of new to the DayZ server world and just want to know if it is easy to add custom spawn to a vanilla server or if it is easier/better to use one of the admin tools out there. Thanks in advance for any input.

I believe it can be done on private hive servers the same as I did it on my .ST Server via the database, I will admit it is a bit time consuming and requires alot of restarts.

I have done it before, but it wasn't with a "vanilla" dayz server. I had DayZCC which seemed to have more database tables. Do I have to use a modified Hive.dll or something or if I just add these tables will it work? Any ideas?

I guess what I should be saying too, is I see the vehicles in the database, but what about buildings? I am assuming I just add them to the objects database and then they will spawn correctly or something, but do I have to worry about the loot spawning in them differently? So do I put vehicle/building spawns in the same database table? Thanks for any help you can give.
