DayZ Mod - Crawling Simulator 2012 Dammit rocket what did you break this time? - Games

[QUOTE=DarkendSky;36531036]Interaction weirdness has nothing to do with Dayz, it's a problem with Arma entirely. And it has been since Operation Flashpoint.[/QUOTE] Ahh okay, didn't know that, then I guess its closest to realistic that people can get too, sorry for the gear thingey.

[QUOTE=MadPro119;36531037]Were trying to get to the factory while hitting the good stuff inbetween... Well [URL]http://filesmelt.com/dl/DayZTrip1.png[/URL] (Size)[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/m7RmX.png[/IMG] Probably where he shot you from. Either that or the hill you climbed just before you died.

I opened a fence and I broke my legs. .....

I needs a feller to pway wif me, cause Im lonely, finally got the game, but its not that fun when you are running around by yourself getting butt fucked by zombies

[QUOTE=MadPro119;36530915]Side chat is annoying. I dont like tons of blue text filling my screen from random people talking about "OMG Broke my legs in Cherno lol" I don't care.[/QUOTE] FRIENDLY IN CHERNO?

[quote]* [NEW] Set Bear Traps that break player and infected legs, kills animals, when activated[/quote] I dont think this is going to be for the animals in the end...

They should add the An-94 Colt to the game. It's the four-seater prop plane from OA. Sure, it can only land in the airfields and a few very flat stretches of highway or open fields, but in a skilled pilot's hands, that thing is almost as versatile as a helicopter. Littlebirds would be cool too, but that is probably pushing it since you could then land on basically every building in the game.

[QUOTE=DarkendSky;36530948] How is third person not an unfair advantage? That's enabled on the server. It lets me see out of total cover safely, and around walls, etc. Also the sanity of actually seeing other players talk is hardly an advantage. As for the bolded part, I don't know if you've handled many firearms in real life, but it really isn't that difficult to fire it like that. Not to mention, in ARMA you actually keep it shouldered whenever you can see it out in front of you, you just don't have your eyes by the sights. It's really easy to aim to a degree without the sights in real life; you just have to be able to see the end of your barrel.[/QUOTE] I was talking about crosshairs being a clientside thing; it'd spoil those who wanted to not use them for realism's sake. It's not that hard to aim without the crosshairs in-game, either, it just takes a bit of practice; just like reliably point-shooting in real life. However, if it was something that could be enabled/disabled clitentside, then it would give an unfair advantage to those who have it enabled. I find having the green crosshair floating in front of me to be ugly and not at all immersive, and I'm sure there's many of the 'hardcore' players who would agree with me. Again, if you find it hard to find the gear icon without a crosshair, go into iron sights with your pistol or primary. Third person is definitely a dividing point for many people; I like to use it to look around when I'm scoping out a place, or when I'm prone, but there are also plenty of people who use it to look around corners and such, which makes me want it disabled.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;36531258]A plane would be the fastest way to lose your gear ever devised. "Hey guys, I'm going to try to land on this highwa-''BOOM[/QUOTE] Go try and fly it in single-player. It's way easier than you think. But it's also really easy to shoot down. And yeah, if you suck at landing you will basically die unless you land on an airfield.

Tried using my L85 AWS to player hunt a bit, aside from the infrared I actually really hate this thing, it just feels really weak. I think I'm going to get myself a enfield instead.

[QUOTE=LiquidBullet;36531226]I dont think this is going to be for the animals in the end...[/QUOTE] Animals are retarded in Arma II, so I honestly don't see a point in attempting to use them on the local fauna. Seriously, you can just walk straight up to a boar and shoot it point-blank between the eyes :v:

1:30AM in the server, what do

[QUOTE=Chernarus;36531511]1:30AM in the server, what do[/QUOTE] Wait till I get on at noon :v:

Terrible sniper meets his arch nemesis: GRAVITY. [url]http://www.twitch.tv/thedukey3/b/322892254[/url] Stolen from Reddit.

[QUOTE=Chernarus;36531511]1:30AM in the server, what do[/QUOTE] Meet with me and my stolen NVGs

[QUOTE=LuckyLuke;36531610]Meet with me and my stolen NVGs[/QUOTE] Where did you get them from?

Im bored, I want to up the player slots to 70, whats your thoughts on this magical idea.

[QUOTE=Zircon_;36531633]Where did you get them from?[/QUOTE] Killed a bandit who was having fun mowing down new players in Elektro with his M249, stole all his weapons and tools and his NVGs. He must be pretty pissed because he lost all his gear to me who had just recently respawned and found a Makarov to take him down.

Okay so I was bored I upped the slot count and shortened the name because I got resources to spare on the server. Sidechat isn't enabled, because honestly it would become a clusterfuck with that many players.

How many players do you think the server could hold total with the new hardware?

[QUOTE=LuckyLuke;36531775]How many players do you think the server could hold total with the new hardware?[/QUOTE] Well 1.7.2 is going to have some major performance improvements so I've guess 74, because ArmA2 server only really uses 1 thread, the others are all at 10-20%. I could easily host lightly games like TF2 or something on the other cores.

Trying to run this game. Sorry if this question has been asked a lot, I followed the installation directions but when I go to run combined operations it prompts a dos screen indicating its loading a few things then just cancels. any help? I've retried everything.

[QUOTE=Chernarus;36531651]Im bored, I want to up the player slots to 70, whats your thoughts on this magical idea.[/QUOTE] That would be fantastic. I hardly ever see other people.
