watching for vehicles in my logs

[Sethanon 0]

I rented a private server for HFB a couple of days ago and, like many others, I didn't see any vehicles on Day 1.

So I read through alot of the posts here and figured that I'd be patient and wait a few days to see if things start happening vehicular-wise.

After Day 6, and no vehicles to be seen, I started taking a look at the server logs to see if I could grok out whether or not the server was posting info regarding the vehicles after the daily reboot.

Here is what I'm seeing at around the time the first of us logged into the server.

7:48:26 "SERVER VERSION: Bliss v2.5"

7:48:27 "SERVER: Got initial loadout of []"

7:48:27 "SERVER: Got 2 pages of tasks..."

7:48:27 "SERVER: Added 1 tasks!"

7:48:27 "SERVER: Got 4 pages of objects..."

7:48:28 "SERVER: Fetched 14 objects!"

7:48:28 "Spawned: 6759 ATV_US_EP1"

7:48:28 "Spawned: 6761 TT650_TK_EP1"

7:48:28 Unrecognized CfgVehicles simulation in bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/TK_Soldier_EP1/

7:48:28 "Spawned: 6762 TT650_Ins"

7:48:28 Unrecognized CfgVehicles simulation in bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Ins_Soldier_1/

7:48:28 Unrecognized CfgVehicles simulation in bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Ins_Soldier_Base/

7:48:28 "Spawned: 6764 UH1H_DZ"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 6765 UH1H_DZ"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 6767 Ikarus"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 6768 Ikarus_TK_CIV_EP1"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 6769 UralCivil"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 6770 Smallboat_1"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 6771 Fishing_Boat"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 40105 TentStorage"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 42624 TentStorage"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 44828 TentStorage"

7:48:29 "Spawned: 44829 TentStorage"

So, I can see that my server is spawning vehicles, but only a handful.

Here's my question:

Should I be seeing all of the vehicles spawn at the same time, map-wide? Or do they trickle in as they're discovered and then get saved and spawned at server reboot like the tents are?

I believe that's normal, if you're at least getting spawns, all the vehicles will spawn over time, you're not going to have 80 vehicles to repair everytime the server restarts, I think they only spawn in a radius of 2 km from any player that logged out up to 30 minutes before the restart, BUT all the other vehicles, may spawn over time, but there is a vehicle cap on the server and also a vehicle type cap, so you won't have 10 helis, or 20 UAZs, in a normal server only 1 huey spawns, and if that huey gets destroyed, another will spawn a week later, and that's about the same with other vehicles, but in a different scale, like if there's 5 URALs on the server no more will spawn until one gets destroyed and 4 hours later one more will spawn and that's how it goes

EDIT: I forgot to say that it also spawns saved vehicles

You are running Bliss, are you running db_spawn_vehicles.pl right before each server start?

That is a good question. HFB is hosting my server, so I'm using thier web-based CPanel to set up the restarts, configure in-game settings, and monitor the logs. I'm not sure if that's something that I can configure, or something that HFB has to set up.

I'll take a look at it and see, though.

Thanks for the responses, though. Much appreciated.
