Vehicle respawn during server restart?

[Nwoswat 22]

So yesterday a group of my friends and I found a UAZ of course it was broken down and we ran for 5 hours getting the parts to fix it, we work so hard to get it up and running we drove back to camp and we were setting up camp we saved the things that needed to be saved and headed out for loot, than while we were driving a hacker, I guess teleportated everyone and killed everyone in the server but us for some reason instand of teleporting. As everyones "WAS KILLED" came up we got tossed out of the car but didn't get teleportated so we 2 aborted because they had the good shit and I only had a Mk 48 mod 0 to lose and my other friend was too determined to lose that car we were driving back to camp than the server restarted while we were in the car. than we lost it. It was respawned all broken up in the same place where we first found it, I'm guessing the main reason it didn't save is because we were in the car while the server was restarting. But I want to be sure that we can keep the vehicle if we save it honestly if the server restarting ever 6 hours is gonna get rid of our car I'm just gonna go find a server that doesn't reset at all cause I was pretty ticked to find that car just gone but the tents and barb wire and everything in the camp was there and in place.

It's a trait of the current 1.7.2.5 so I would either get used to the concept of having to rebuild the vehicle each time the server restarts or just give up on vehicles completely until 1.7.3 is released, because there is no way you are going to find a server that "never restarts".

Right now, if you find a self repairing motorcycle, you'll always know where it will be when the server restarts, and can hop on and ride (provided you have a jerry can).

I always save within 2,000m of where I know the motorcycle will spawn on a particular server, and if there is no server reset, then there's a chance it will be where I saved it.

Yeah just give up on vehicles for now.

Hopefully 1.7.3 will be outs soon

ya the camp we have set up is about 200M away from the spawn the thing is that we need to find ALL 4 wheels everything pretty much to even drive it

Spelling and punctuation for god's sake. It hurt my eyes to read that.

We experienced the same bugs. 2 mates and myself were repairing different vehicles (V3S civilian, offroad pickup, motorcycle) on different servers (first we thought it depends on server whether it's saved or not) but to our regret they were never saved and always respawned broken were we found them.

Because every server keeps restarting a couple of times per day, I think it's more or less a waste of time to search and repair vehicles (at least we are done with it). I just hope it will get better on 1.7.3.

Maybe you should be more concerned about the topic

"Vehicle respawn during server restart?"

Than trying to be an english teacher, that hammers people that dont speak english so good?

I think a helping hand would do more good than bashing people for incorrect grammar and punctuation

Hopefull they will fix this in next vu, for then it would acually be worth repairing the cars, by running around for 3-5 hours gathering parts for them.

Because he knows how to use the Forums and rather than creating another Topic on an already exsisting subject, he posted here.

You should have put a ? at the end of your question, btw.

strange, most forums i've been condone opening a new thread in case faced with the choice to necro or not.

It was rather confusing when I started reading and it was not until I checked the date that I would've known OP won't respond to me.

[boneboys 7988]

Quite right.

Me bad, I take it all back.

My excuses to you all (except Jambor).

Locked.
