question about a private hive server.

[The Reaperman 3]

apologies as this may have been asked (probably numourous times) but i was just looking for a bit of info/advice.

basically theres tonnes of private hive servers these dayz (see what i did there) so im starting to wonder if its worth the hassle but im looking to set up a private hive server and was looking at vilayer mainly their package deal, 4 maps you can choose private or public, if you for example chose private chernarus can you customise it like all the other servers i am seeing i.e 80+ vehicles and 8 choppers etc? or is this done using dayz bliss? can you install bliss on vilayer servers? i would be happy with just the standard dayz (although idealy patching so duping doesnt work would be preferable) and just more vehicles, when i ask vilayer they only seem to answer part of the question. so i throw myself out to you guys and gals here for any more info.

also ive seen people talking about using navicat for my sql when adding vehicles checking for hacked objects in the server, also people are using it to add things like other transport choppers which is pretty cool. i have asked vilayer and the response is "we dont allow database access" but a customer in their teamspeak said you can connect to your private vilayer server through navicat and apparently its quite easy, so my second question is should i be reading between the lines in the sense that "we dont allow database access" means we need to say that so dumplings dont screw all the files up?

If you can't access the database then there is no point in even having a private server.

The whole point is having a database you manage yourself - otherwise just go official where someone else does the work.

LOl vilayer surely don't dis-allow the db access? i mean you want to customise it so surely they must allow it?

If not - well... i wouldn't bother with them and buy yaself your own dedicated box, you can get enough specs to run dayz for a similar price to what they charge anyway/

thanks dude, yeah thats pretty much my view on it too. I did speak to another customer when in teamspeak who said you can access the database, because as you said, whats the point in going private if you cant customise. It must be vilayer covering their back by saying you cant when you really can to stop people from fiddling with things then running to them complaining their server doesnt work. Does anyone have the dayz package deal? Whats the script with the acp? Can you increase the number of vehicles with that? Ideally i want to add a few more transport choppers and increase vehicle numbers.
