Is this mod despawning my car? (Custom Server - Car Cover)
I recently made another custom server for my self, and wanted to install some cool mods this time, maybe even more hardcore, I added more zombie events too. - The only mod that affects vehicles I installed is "CarCover", the moment I started driving the car away from its spawn point, the first time I go out and lost sight of it, it just disappeared with all the stuff in it, now I'm asking myself.. Was it the car cover mod (because I tried covering the car, and my character was walking with an hologram of the car tent cover on his feet after that) or was it my zombie event? Note that the car wasn't covered the lsst time I left the car, it only was before I drove it for the first time. Maybe it despawned Because I parked the car on the top where a zombie event happens, yes, I created the spawnpoints of the zombies, they didn't spawn the moment I arrived with the car in the city. I go out, go around a few buildings, the zombie spawns and the car disappeared... What do you think? I'm pretty noob when it comes about modding but I never had this happening. Maybe the car cover prevents the car despawning in general.. And installing it just messed it up if not always covered.. Thank you!!

it shouldnt despawn unless the engine is ruined.
if u use traders to buy vehicles or spawn them in with admin tools, u gotta adjust their lifetimes in the missionfiles, else they despawn within a certain radius to the next player.

I see what you are saying, I don't understand this... after the update everything is broken, or it's just me that I don't know what I'm doing? But I had a server before, and my car never despawned like this (I had no mods tho).

I see that now however, every vehicle, has a lifetime of number set to 3, I don't remember it to be like this, it's not ok right???

Should I set a lifetime of 3888000 right?

This one is an a potential replacement : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2662827589 though not flawless either

OMG thank you, I'm installing a few mods that may take the vanilla experience on a more realistic level, crossbows, crafting arrows and such, this seems another good addition!

Today I found a car... I made a little bump, a little crash with another car.. and I immediately die.. this is another question but.. was this some mod that caused this, or just dayz being dayz?

And btw I wasn't lagging.
