TrickyBot (DayZ) 3 Posted October 19, 2013 I've got a public hive server hosted by HFB and I'm trying to look at the vehicles so I can edit their locations and inventory. I spent about an hour looking through all the tables in the database and figuring out how they work, and what I found out was pretty odd. It looked to me like the server wasn't using the vehicle info from the database at all. I couldn't see my Ural in there which I had parked at NWAF, and whenever I tried editing the worldspace coordinates of a vehicle in instance_vehicle and then restarted the server, nothing happened. Is it even possible to play around with vehicle data in a public hive server or are these tables I'm messing with meant for private hives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bensticles 75 Posted October 19, 2013 I don't think you're allowed to do that on a public hive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrickyBot (DayZ) 3 Posted October 19, 2013 How is it that I see public servers with double the vehicles? Also, is vehicle data stored on the master server along with player data? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted October 19, 2013 How is it that I see public servers with double the vehicles? Also, is vehicle data stored on the master server along with player data? Any public hive server that claims to have extra vehicles is either lying or breaking the rules that they agreed to when they applied to be a part of the public hive. The public hive is meant to be a uniform experience so that players can change to any server and be confident that there have been no modifications made that could benefit one group over another. If you want to modify your server you should change to a private hive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Answered your own question there. You do not have access to them, as those informations aren't stored on your server. Would be too easy to manipulate like in your case where you're trying to do it as well. There's a reason noone has access to it. Is it even possible to play around with vehicle data in a public hive server Nein. How is it that I see public servers with double the vehicles? Because it's bugged. Some servers simply have really exactly doubled amounts of vehicles, as they spawn inside each other. An old ARMA-problem as far as I'm aware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrickyBot (DayZ) 3 Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Yup, US 3533 has had double vehicles for as long as I can remember, and I always thought the admin had somehow done this on purpose. There have been quite a few times where they spawn inside each other, resulting in massive explosions whenever I tried moving them. I guess this really is a bug. Anyway, this all makes sense now. Thanks. Edited October 19, 2013 by TrickyBot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
