theirongiant Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Had this message a few times when trying to buy vehicles from a trader. Would I be correct in guessing that when you sell a vehicle to a trader a replacement is spawned randomly on the map to keep the vehicle count up so you have to sell or destroy one before buying?

Cr41s3 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 No. You can only buy vehicles and they are limited. So there can't be 100 vehicles being bought by players. Else the server would be overfilled and the risk of desyncs would raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theirongiant Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 But surely any vehicles at a trader, used to be on the map, they have to have been found and sold. So if server starts with 100 vehicles, when you sell 1 to a trader there are 99 left on the map and there should still be room to buy 1 from the trader? Or are there always 100 vehicles on the map so if you sell one, a new vehicle is then spawned somewhere to keep the count at 100 in game vehicles?

Cr41s3 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 No if one is sold you can buy a new one. They don't spawn by the server. All vehicles are bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungZA Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 No if one is sold you can buy a new one. They don't spawn by the server. All vehicles are bought. this is just not true. irongiant is right, there are free spawns, when you sell a free spawn a new vehicle will fill its slot on server restart.

theirongiant Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks GungZA, does traders stock persist over restarts then? That would make sense, particularly now that new traders are highlighted green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungZA Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 we have sold cars in the past to keep them 'safe' and bought them back later, so yeah they persist in the trader's inventory. However I am not sure of this but i think if it is a wild trader and he gets killed his stock gets wiped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmay Onzo Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Since the patch anytime we sell a car and instantly try to buy one back it still says to many cars on the map. Same if we blow up cars and try to buy one maybe the world was overloaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenz Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Since the patch anytime we sell a car and instantly try to buy one back it still says to many cars on the map. Same if we blow up cars and try to buy one maybe the world was overloaded I had the same problem today. I would sell half a dozen fresh spawned cars to traders, then try to buy just one car, and still it would tell me there are too many cars on the map. Can anyone offer clarity on this? Why is the map spawning fresh cars after a server restart if too many exist as it is. It's getting to be where you can never really buy a car off a vendor... which is extremely annoying.

MadHatter05 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Vehicles spawn counts are based on the host's config settings. Some have it set to the default 150 or some might have it at 500. It all depends on the host. I myself only have it at 150 and have had no complaints (yet).

You must be talking Unofficial servers cuz the Official servers are not allowed to modify those values from my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockysteel Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 this is a bug right now, hopefully fixed later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGT Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 You must be talking Unofficial servers cuz the Official servers are not allowed to modify those values from my understanding. We are allowed to, for example we have it set to 300, stock is 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Čeh Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Played on a CPC server, really a lot of vehicles compared to general loot availability (not that I mind, easier to get around) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkchicken Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 We habe the same Problem. My Group habe over 10.000 Krypto but we never can buy a car. It sucks running all the day. Should we search a new Server where the limit is higher or should we wait for a patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splin Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 CPC has set spawn rate really too much. Those cars were found just in 300m away from each other on almost empty server by one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Vehicles are sort of screwy in the mod/game. I fix two tires on a truck ... drive through one fence.. ONE Fence and a tire is blown. They are weak as sh*t I could understand if a tire was a bit damaged that it would be completely damaged but it wasn't a bit damaged prior to hitting the one fence.

tkdlove Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 New to the game and been running on an epoch mod (dot) com (Midnight TV) server with my brother for about 4-5 days now (thank you 50% off ARMA). Absolutely love the MOD and all (except them exploding SOBs that seem to appear right behind you...) We have only seen 1 car that was damaged and we had no means to fix it. Since then, I haven't seen a car at all (Heard one this evening but never saw it). Needless to say, getting rather bummed because we are running everywhere and haven't made it far past the spawn points before getting ganged, falling 3 feet and dying, etc... Are we doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Usually there aren't spawn campers, at least I have not run into many. You might want to try a different server, there are quite a few and not all of them have people camping spawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
