mikey182 3 Posted August 20, 2012 So last night we logged into our server, chopper was where we left it. Flew down to somewhere, got out, turned the server off.Pretty sure I didnt save the heli.....Log back in and even after restarting the server the chopper is no longer there.Where has the chopper gone. Will it be where it was when last saved or will it now be gone for good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cats 83 Posted August 20, 2012 Server-restart resets un-saved vehicles. Its either on its spawn or someone took it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Albatros 72 Posted August 20, 2012 If you're the admin of a server, I see nothing wrong with checking the vehicles on the server data to see if there is still a UH-1H in there.And if there is and it's not where it should be, I also think it's perfectly acceptable for you to go download some mapping tool and figure out where it is, how it got there and how to stop that from reoccurring.

mikey182 3 Posted August 20, 2012 No one took it because I abuse my rights as an admin and lock the serverWeve had the chopper for over a week and used it multiple times, its back where it was last saved, along with the 6 other vehicles weve got parked up.So lesson to anyone, always save the vehicles when getting out.I hope War Z isnt as much as a pile of shit as Day z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B0x73r 14 Posted August 20, 2012 Choppers always reset back to spawn for me even when saved. So every server reset we have to fix chopper :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted August 20, 2012 I can't really help you with the question, but I have one question regarding what you said."...turned the server off."So you shut down your server after you got the helicopter in it to a safe location? What for, exactly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strawcrow 10 Posted August 20, 2012 That is the weird thing, leaving a vehicle auto saves it, saving is only for gear in it; but with things not working right you can destroy a vehicle saved or not and it will return to last spot it was located. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We use it to store weapons and vehicles, and use the vehicles (mainly chopper) to get about the server, then server hop and turn our server off.So unless im going to grab some packets (which I cant be arsed with) I dont think there are many alternative methods.....

As I said in a previous post, we lock the server so no one gets in it except us.Basically we flew down to cherno, parked up the chopper then jumped server and killed some people.

Banicks 55 Posted August 20, 2012 Vehicles are stored specifically on a server, turning the server off, then on is classified as a restart.Thus you lose where you parked the heli and all vehicles reset. Your gear however is stored hive side so that is why you keep it.Fairly certain you're not supposed to be doing this, but with scripters/hackers and so many high end items rolling around lately. What difference does it make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F4ll3N 28 Posted August 20, 2012 Choppers always reset back to spawn for me even when saved. So every server reset we have to fix chopper :(Thats a problem with 2.5 rollback to 2.4 and all your tents and vehicles will save again.... there really is NO POINT to running 2.5 other than the humanity thing... which isnt worth loosing all tents and vehicles every restart imo.

terex 322 Posted August 20, 2012 Pay to win with your own server for vehicles and locking it down when you aren't using it? That is vagina. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikey182 3 Posted August 20, 2012 I paid for the server rental, ill do what i please with it.Who are you to tell me otherwise, there are plenty of servers for you to choose from. Cry me a river you petty bitches.The whole reason we do it is because of hackers. Im guessing as per the 2.5 comment it will keep happening. Seems a bit daft to me.........So when I find a legit vehicle, repair it, drive it to hide it then save it........itll go back to the place it spawned??This game is genius. I might revert back to 2.4. Atleast I will be able to save vehicles again and dupe items. We have a dedicated lorry to store guns in and another ural for food thanks to the dupe glitch. We have every weapon in the game now with multiple copies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IIII_joshua 16 Posted August 20, 2012 mikey182,You can pay for server rental but there are terms to being on the public hive.Locking and shutting down your server are both violations of the public terms.Have fun getting your server black listed. Then you can pay for a private hive and hoard as many items as you want.Enjoy it while it lasts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

osirish 165 Posted August 20, 2012 Normally, I'd congratulate the OP on his trolling for a post like this, but not 100% certain the OP is a troll on this one.Regardless of whether or not you are a troll, congratulations are in order for giving abusive admins another tool in their arsenal and making life harder for decent admins.

Fonzie (DayZ) 159 Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) We've lost like three choppers to this too. Is there any point in trying to get one? Or do we have to downgrade to 1.7.2.4? If I recall right, we even lost some back then too. Edited August 20, 2012 by Fonzie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
