Description
🚗 DevCARent — Advanced Vehicle Rental System


The Definitive Rental Solution with Payment System, Discord Integration, and Real‑Time HUD




✨ WHAT IS DevCARent?
DevCARent is a complete vehicle rental ecosystem for DayZ servers that transforms how players interact with vehicles. Set up a fully automated rental service with custom payment tokens, real‑time countdown, and Discord notifications — perfect for RP servers, traders, and economy‑focused gameplay.




🎯 THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
  • ❌ Unlimited, free vehicles causing lag and map pollution
  • ❌ Players hoarding cars permanently with no incentive to return them
  • ❌ Admins spending hours manually cleaning up abandoned vehicles
  • ❌ Lack of in‑game economy or consequences for vehicle usage
  • ❌ Static vehicle spawns with low player engagement




💎 THE DevCARent SOLUTION
An intelligent, automated rental system that adds depth, realism, and control:

  • 🎟️ Custom Payment Tokens — Players need tokens to start vehicles
  • ⏱️ Countdown HUD — A clean on‑screen timer shows remaining time
  • 🔔 Discord Webhooks — Get notifications for rentals, denials, and expirations
  • 💾 Persistent Across Restarts — Rentals survive server restarts
  • 🎨 Fully Customizable — Configure duration, payment, and end action per vehicle
  • 🔄 Config Auto‑Reload — Changes apply without restarting the server




🎮 HOW IT WORKS

FOR PLAYERS:
  • 1️⃣ Find or buy a Car Rental Token
  • 2️⃣ Approach any configured vehicle and enter the driver seat
  • 3️⃣ The token is consumed and the rental timer starts automatically
  • 4️⃣ The HUD counter appears in the top‑right corner
  • 5️⃣ Drive freely until the time expires
  • 6️⃣ When it expires: engine shuts off, HUD hides automatically after 20 seconds
  • 7️⃣ After the delay: vehicle is removed/ruined/exploded (admin choice)

FOR SERVER OWNERS:
  • ✅ Zero setup required — works immediately
  • ✅ Auto‑creates Config.json with 23 preconfigured vanilla vehicles
  • ✅ Edit the config while the server is running — changes apply automatically
  • ✅ Full Discord integration for monitoring
  • ✅ Detailed logs for auditing and troubleshooting




⚙️ DETAILED FEATURES

💳 PAYMENT SYSTEM
  • Custom item Car Rental Token (or any item classname you choose)
  • Configurable cost per vehicle (X tokens = 1 rental by default)
  • Players without tokens get access denied and the engine is cut
  • FREE rentals available (set RequiredAmount to 0)
  • Works with ANY item classname (supports modded currencies)

📊 SMART HUD SYSTEM
  • Clean, minimal design in the top‑left corner
  • Displays "EXPIRED!" when time runs out
  • Hides automatically 20 seconds after expiration
  • Only visible when the player has an active rental
  • No UI clutter when not in use

Each webhook includes: vehicle health, fuel, GPS coordinates, Steam ID, online player count, and timestamp

💾 PERSISTENCE & RELIABILITY
  • ActiveRentals.json stores all active rentals
  • Rentals survive server restarts perfectly
  • Player can leave and return — the timer continues
  • Multiple players can rent different vehicles simultaneously
  • No database required — lightweight JSON storage

Hello, is there a translation into Russian? If not, can I translate it?
Wardaddy 19 Oct @ 6:18pm 
This seems cool, can you integrate it with Expansion Trader so you can buy cars with the token and that starts the timer?
Nerrad 18 Oct @ 5:47am 
Something along the lines of literally purchasing a vehicle that has the timer attached...i want a ADA for 1 hour and could be sold for a cheaper price than the actual vehicle . Thanks for some great mods
Nerrad 18 Oct @ 5:33am 
Sounds very interesting. I agree with TTVLunysworld. The ability to be able to buy along side a normal vehicle would be fantastic and an addition to this mod..
DaRkThoR 18 Oct @ 4:59am 
Funciona com modded cars tambem ?
TTVLunysworld 17 Oct @ 11:24pm 
So would this system work along side the traditional system of buying vehicles from traders? Or would it ask for a token whenever you buy a vehicle from a trader? Because I would love to use both methods along side each other
