How To Fix & Stop DayZ Dr Jones Trader Mod Cars, Trucks & Vehicles From Despawning & Disappearing 

A good informative easy to follow clip. Thankyou

hey scalespeeder my problem is that the cars that i buy from the trader disappear 1 or 2 days after i buy it and i set the lifetime exact like you no matter if its a normal or a modcar after 1 or 2 days or 1 or 2 server restarts it is gone but just the cars that i bought from the trader the other ones are fine why please help me hahah

I've done this, and any vehical I spawn in as an admin or even find then start using still ends up vanishing after a while

I think a good video would be How to spawn in vehicles already with camonet covers! :) Thanks

everything is still vanishing either after relog or restart. I have set all the modded and even unmodded items for whatver i use to a lifetime of at least 30 days but in less than 30 minutes its gone, sometimes quicker. Wish they would just make a quick simple mod that would just fix all of this

Offroad_02 is still despawning from trader. It takes a few hours but it does despawns

Now how do you keep you BBP base from despawning

I have a new Dayz server and it’s my first time adding mods..I added this mod recently but on the new 1.19 update I changed the lifetime of all vehicles but cars still despawn as soon as u log out and log back in do you think anything has changed to this fix for despawning with the new update?

So I read that lifetime is reset at interaction. So, if that is acurate, then that would theoretically mean that I could set the lifetime value to a week. If a user does not interact with the vehicle in a week, then it would despawn. Thta seems logical to me. Has anyone tested this??

I've done this and they still disappear

We've had instances on our server of vehicles that are set for two weeks, using this technique parked on flat ground not near anything, no damage, parts all pristine just despawning as the player walks away.

I added the m1025 to my trader but it's only spawning in with 3 wheels...also my cars in the world spawn in stripped, even though I've modded the event and spawnabletypes files to make them spawn complete. I've even validated them. Not sure if the Dr Jones mod is affecting this..any ideas?

Mate, i saw your videos twice of the same with this lifetime. But this does not work mate. I have cars that aren't in the type.xml because they don't spawn on the server, they only can buy from trader!!! Get it??? It's not in the type.xml I don't want that the better cars spawn on the map. So this does not work with trader cars. If they not in the type.xml, then they do not have a lifetime either, because they not in the type.xml. And if I still put the cars in to type XML, then I put the nominal to zero because i don't want that these cars spawn on the map. So if it's nominal 0 it means that none of these cars will spawn in on the map so have no point to put the lifetime on anything because it only applies for the spawned in cars. But if the nominal is set to zero, then the lifetime applies to the zero car. So this doesn't work only with items that have the nominal higher than zero! Because we all know zero is zero so if you put the lifetime of nothing into the type xml, than it wil be the lifetime of nothing, and what is the lifetime of nothing??? Yes mate, It's nothing. Like if I put the lifetime up to 3000 than it will still be 3000 for nothing so. It will count the lifetime of nothing. Because the real counting begins at 1, you can't count nothing. If you're in a class with none students you're not going to go there and HHH I am counting nothing. It's not a such thing as counting how long nothing will be there before it turns into nothing. Nothing have no value, something without value can't be count, it still is nothing!!! So this does not work.

it has to be 3888000

do you have discord? trying to get fresh spawn back pack full of loot working on console
