"save" times... pls help

[JPWiser 251]

Could anyone point me in the direction of an official listing for the "save" time on tents stashes and vehicles?  Is it server dependent? It would be really nice to know how much real time I have from hitting the save button to it potentially poofing on a server reset.  Any insight on how the save feature works altogether would be appreciated.

It should work automatically

 

the Save thing is just a fail safe

 

Sounds like either a new 1.8 bug or

 

the server you are on is being run by half-wits and they did something to fuck up the save system.

If you mean how close to the restart you can alter your tents contents and it still successfully save then I would say don't touch the tent 5 mins before restart to be safe.

It all depends when the server did it's last database save

Tents are royally screwed in 1.8, it will be fixed in 1.8.1. I'm just using a ural at the minute...

 

There is a fix, if you give me a minute I'll look it out and you can forward it to your server owner. :)

 

Tent fix...

Kind of not the answers I was looking for ... I more meant this concerning vehicles.  There is a certain amount of time you have from the time you get out of your vehicle and leave it your camp before it "poofs" and respawns in its original spawn location.  I assumed the save feature worked this way, like you have 48 hours real time once you hit the save button on your vehicle before it will respawn on the next server reset.  I read somewhere your stash will dissapear 24 hours after you die, however once per day ive logged in and hit save on it and it hasnt gone anywhere.

 

This make more sense?

Vehicles only despawn if you haven't checked on them for a week or they are stolen / blown up. Which still is very likely depending on how many people play on that server.

Same amount of time goes for your tents and stashes, by the way. It only despawns when noone is interacting with them for a week or someone destroys them or you died.

So 7 days is an official time?  Where did you get this info?

My brain. But yes, that's the way it works.

It depends on the database being used, many private servers don't have a vehicle/tent clean up script, but i believe 7 days is correct for the official public hive.

LOL well for that information to have been registered in your brain you had to of read or learnt that somewhere initially.  Was looking for more of an official source of information that states this stuff but thx is a good guideline.

Thx I figured it differed from private hives, just was hoping there was a section in dayz wiki or something Im missing that explains all of this.

 

 

This is also disturbing news as if its true it confirms that previously owned vehicles were stolen by greedy admins or some seriously lucky sons of bitches.

Thanks

Removes tents that are either empty or untouched for 7 days or whose owner is dead for 4 days.

Very nice thanks a lot.  Now if I die, but make it back to my tent\stash before 4 days is up and hit "SAVE", does that mean I refresh that 4day timer?  At this point Id have to assume thats the case as I died 5-6 days ago but still have my stash as I have gone in and saved it once every 24 hours so far.
