DayZ Mod V4 - Admins need more rights! - Games

My foresee for release or big news was 9th january let's see if it's true... (posted about this first in november 2012)

[QUOTE=Zircon_;39090181]1. Activate auto-hover 2. Wait for the choppah to stabilize 3. Go down slowly until you touch the ground 4. Stop the engine 5. ??? 6. Profit[/QUOTE] Autohover = [del]Easy Mode[/del] Beginner Mode

[QUOTE=i-am-teh-sex;39097183]Autohover = [del]Easy Mode[/del] Beginner Mode[/QUOTE] I think it comes in handy when you're landing a bathtub like the mi-17.

After playing the helicopter tutorials I've never had a need to use it Mind you I'd never used it beforehand either; It makes it [B]harder[/B] to control imo, I keep flipping little birds with it on

[B][U]Attention attention rocket lives and posted something![/U][/B] [url]http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/115694-a-not-announcement-announcement-for-the-forums/[/url] [quote]Why so quiet, Rocket? Kju (ArmA legend and DayZ team member) made a good point that I should really say something, linking me to the points made in [url]http://dayzmod.com/f...-under-the-tree[/url] - So here I'm going to just sort of give a literal off the cuff not-announcement. I'd taken a deliberate step away from the spotlight, particularly given the scandals that have gone on with things with the WarZ. I won't dwell on this issue, only to say that while gamers can tell the difference between the two products - many people can't and it became quite unpleasant for me when I became approached both in real-life and through the internet associating me with the War Z. Meanwhile, development continued at an even greater pace with the entire project beginning to gel even more than before. I won't give any specifics here, I think the specifics should come with something that you can actually see/play and that will make much more sense. I'm currently in an airport lounge in Sydney, on the long journey back to the Czech Republic. The year 2012 I can't really even begin to summarize what that year has been for Bohemia, the project, or for me - so I won't try. What I will do is thank everyone for being involved, for making something really amazing out of the idea I started with. There are thousands of people who have and are now directly involved in developing the mod, and it's really amazing for us all to see the wonderful user created content etc coming out. So thank you, to everyone. Because of everyone's support we're now "living the dream" and turning this basic idea into its own game. In fact, we've gone even further than I could ever have hoped... we're not only making the game, we're redoing the engine specifically for the game Where is the game? Where is the Tumblr post? Obviously they aren't there yet and I promised that. I also promised more contact, and then I disappeared off the face of the Earth. Now isn't really the time to get into all that, so all I am going to do is say that on all those account I failed and I'll deal to those in good time. I'm really sorry that on those three counts I've failed, hopefully in time the reasons will all make some sense and the end product will justify all the madness of this year. Now is not the time for me to rush out a tumblr update, nor rush out a build. Both of those will, for the moment, need to wait - and both mean I didn't do what I said I would. So... 2013? Let me just say this: Every progressive day during December, I have gotten more and more excited about the Standalone and it's potential. Each day the whole team is seeing the strength of the development and we're very pleased with how it has been progressing. Thank you everyone for your support, and particularly, for your patience. Also a big thank you and shout out to the forum mods for their hard work. [/quote] Did not even read it myself just sharing now. [editline]5th January 2013[/editline] I am fucking excited...

[QUOTE=Darkslicer;39099765]-snip-[/QUOTE] I really can't wait for this to come out. Also, does anyone know what DayZ+ does in DayZ Commander? I just downloaded it.

They're redoing the engine? Don't expect it to come out for a year or two.

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;39100953]They're redoing the engine? Don't expect it to come out for a year or two.[/QUOTE] You did not really follow progress did you? They changed the engine model and put out all unnecesary things and redeveloped alot of features like zombie AI and the inventory system etc.. these things are finished already also they got the maker of the engine at hand in their team.

If they're doing that, I hope they will implement dragging and dropping items in your backpack and inventory to organize things faster.

I think I've heard they are implementing some technologies from Arma 3 engine also.

Simply = take arma 2.5 engine (take on helicopters version) put in some arma 3 code put out unnecesary arma code and change client to server management system to fit it as an mmo implement dayz code and many features + stability and there you have it. Oh and with the new zombie ai + server & client management/engine overhaul the zombie limit is gone so it only takes a strong server and you can put as many zombies in it as you want.

Derp. Only game I've been looking forward to for months, I've been given about three games as presents for Christmas, and they are all consolized garbage, have a number 3,4 or 5 slapped next to their title and hash out the same turd. DayZ the mod (and game hopefully), is a simple "survival" concept however through execution could be breaking new grounds. The mod is a taste of things to come, I hope. Making the Zombies more of a threat and having actual things to accomplish other than finding "end game gear" could make it quite an experience. Crafting and building bases (underground bunkers it has been suggested by Rocket) could lead to interesting companionships with people, virtual towns anyone?

[video=youtube;FbyZNrQcpQs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbyZNrQcpQs[/video] [editline]5th January 2013[/editline] By the way why is the fp servers down?

I'd like to ad, thank fuck they are using Steamworks for the standalone. Take STEAM's server browser over Arma2's or anything for that matter, the Arma2 browser is like some throwback from a dodgey 90's game.

What the fuck has happened to this mod? So many shitty servers, 100,000 vehicles? Forever-day, no-fog, no-rain? Seriously, any good servers? [editline]5th January 2013[/editline] I assume the FP server is free of all that bullshit, but what server is it?

So after about six months I decided to start playing again, I joined a takistan map and after a hour or two I was pretty well off, found tons of guns and ammo, another friendly dude and a humvee with a M2 turret, basically me and him decided we'd just help people out and act kinda like a bus, basically after another couple hours of doing that, we picked up two guys one was a bandit (you know the scarf thing), but I was just like eh and decided to give him a ride anyway, later on one of the wheels broke and me and my friend both got out of the car to fix it when we did manage too the bandit dude hopped into the front seat and the bandit guys friend hopped on the m2 and shot me and my friend and drove off.. I've missed you dayz.

I'd rather have a server browser than none at all, there are plenty of games now days that don't even let you see the PING of a server, let alone filter for it.

So many outdated servers too? Seriously, what is this bullshit? [editline]5th January 2013[/editline] And the server browser is horrible because it only shows like 30% of the servers and only those that are in Europe/Russia. Any web-based server browsers? Those are the only ones that actually work for me.

I tried booting up the mod again today and had a similar moment, talked to a guy for about 15 minutes who was on the other side of a wall. We discussed how we'd both holster our weapons and meet face to face and work together. Soon as I meet him I have a bullet straight in the cranium... I didn't even have any decent gear. I know that won't change much, but I feel if there was "something to do", or atleast the zombies were more of a threat I think it wouldn't be such a deathmatch, or atleast in it's predictable state.

what happened to dem fp servers

Goddamnit what is it with people wearing ghillie suits? I swear every one of them is a certified prick. If that wasn't enough the most recent one I met was also a hacker who teleported everyone to his position, armed himself with an M107, godmode and just went ballistic. Was doing fairly well too. Had an M4 Holo w/ grenade launcher and seven mags, plus food and drinkables and a coyote pack. I wouldn't be as annoyed if it had just been a regular player who fancied some better gear but that kind of shit just ain't sporting.

Yeah, a few days ago my friend and I were on Namalsk looking to meet up with eachother until a hacker teleported everyone to him. I don't think he was expecting half the server to be armed with lmgs and such, because without godmode he died pretty fast. (and so did everyone else)

I am estimating that about 60% of the bandits are hacking right now. I am getting killed at impossible places, and seen at impossible distances by bandits.

Well, logged into a server and it instantly killed me, respawned me, and killed me repeatedly. Lost my NVG, GPS, two tents (one in my inventory, and one I probably won't be able to refind before it resets) and various weapons.

Could you guys tell me some details about the FP server? Does it have 3rd person or a crosshair? What about the playerbase, moronic little kids? I hope it doesn't have a crosshair enabled, it's really bullshitty that you can't disable those on servers that do have them. [editline]5th January 2013[/editline] And knowing the name of it would be pretty nice.

We group up for a little, and I gave him some stuff ( he was very new to the game ). Even found an AK47 for him. [editline].[/editline] What I have found on my new life: No less than 10 Czech Backpacks M107 ammunition Entrenching Tool Toolbox AK47 ALICE Backpack 4 AK74 mags, 2 AKM mags, 1 machinegun belt (forgot the name) PDW + 2 mags What I haven't found: A single piece of food All I found at the supermarket was dead bodies and backpacks. Seriously, there were 5 backpacks in there.
