m1st3r_pr0per 1 Posted May 22, 2012 Date/Time: Any time. 22/05/12 - Version 1.5.8What happened: Tents did not place, even when all requirements are met. It just says that tent should be placed on flat ground and away from other objects.Where you were: Lopatino, Airfield and nearest fieldsWhat you were doing: We were trying to place a tent.

murhis 4 Posted May 22, 2012 Same problem. I have tried to place a tent for multiple "flat" areas, but no luck. Anybody managed to put a tent on 1.5.8? I dunno why they can't work same way as new camp fires? You should be able to put a tent in a forest.Edit: You are not even able to place a tent on NW field area which should be the most flat area.

Damit 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Confirmed issue with tents with new placement systemGetting the errorMultiple tents on completely flat ground with nothing around and had multiple People try with the tents with none working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slushie 0 Posted May 23, 2012 I had this issue, until I suddenly managed to set one up even though it had just told me it wouldn't work. Only I still had both of my tents in my inventory, so it basically duped one for me. So I logged out, and logged back in, and the tent was gone.Tents definitely seem broken right now.

Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted May 23, 2012 Spotted this in another bug report, could be useful:*On a side note:I have even extracted the following code from 'tent_pitch.sqf' due to my initial frustration in trying to find a suitable area to pitch said tent for 2hrs:_location = player modeltoworld [0' date=2.5,0];_location = [_location select 0,_location select 1,0];_dir = round(direction player);_isOk = count (_location isFlatEmpty [1,0,0,4,0,false,player]) > 0;I made a small test map locally in the ArmA2 editor, tested possible locations to make sure they were suitable i.e. _isOk = true, then tried th same areas in-game/online but with no luck. Only the opening of the gear menu whilst moving and some spamming of the gear menu action seemed to get an offline verified area to work in-game/online for tent placement.I can make a video of the tent duplication and msimatch in area determination offline vs. online for tent placement if required.

Parnassus 0 Posted May 24, 2012 There seem to be whole sections of the map where tents can't be placed regardless of how flat it is or how far away you are from other objects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

defic 2 Posted May 24, 2012 temporary solution:1st: find a good place to pitch a tent2nd step: download dayz_code 1.5.6 and use it (put it in your addons folder and replace dayz_code which comes with 1.5.8.4)3rd step: spawn in the server and use scroll to pitch the tent and save it. screen will flicker in black, but it doesnt bother.4th step: but pack 1.5.8.4 and join the server and the tent is there.EDIT: 1.5.6 dayz_code can be found here: http://cdn.armafiles.info/old/dayz_code_v1.5.6.rar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nate (DayZ) 7 Posted May 24, 2012 Tents are not even reliable in their current state. So my advice is, don't use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
