*** New RangerzMod v2.0 is now operational!! *** MUST BE 18+, Competent, and Patient Server location: Dallas, Tx Map: Chernarus Difficulty: Expert 3rd: ON Death Messages: OFF Max Ping: 400 Whitelister: YES additional mods: rmod and RangerzMod ****All players who are interested MUST do an interview via Skype before gaining membership. Check out more info here: http://rangerz.freeforums.org/index.php?sid=afb656a160dd1935148084b7dcd25cad Contact MAX @ generalmaximus23 on Skype for further details. RANGERZ MOD 1.0 (Based on vanilla Dayz) [Changed] Reduced chances of military grade weapons. [Changed] Reduced chances of ammo for all types of weapons. [Changed] Industrial loot will yield much less valuable items ie car parts ,Rotor assemblies and Jerry cans. [Changed] Number of Zeds spawning per player. This will create a "horde" feeling especially in cities and small towns. [Changed] Zeds can now damage vehicles. This should reduce the exploit of hiding inside a vehicle to avoid harm. Also is added to create a feel of urgency as if zeds were breaking windows and causing vehicle damage by being run over. [Changed] All vehicles will spawn in good condition. After initial fill of vehicles on server, settings will BE changed so that if a vehicle is destroyed they will respawn with heavy damage and no fuel. [Changed] Types of weapons that spawn in varied locations ie.Residential, Military, Industrial. Many weapons have now been moved to locations that actually makes sense. For instance AK's, and AR's will not be found in deer stands or a fire station. [Changed] Loot piles overflowing with useful items. Much more trash and rubish litters the map now giving the game a feeling of more desperation and scarcity. [Changed] Crash sites will no longer be an instant jackpot of the best end-game gear. [Changed] Starting load out has removed patrol pack. This allows vest pouches to be put into play. [Changed] Pack sizes have now been reduced. Patrol: 4, Vest: 6, ACU: 10, Czech: 13, Alice: 16, Coyote: 19. This should make team play more tactical since you won't be able to carry two primaries as efficiently. [Changed] All packs now have dedicated spawn locations.For instance patrol packs will be common in residential areas, where as higher capacity packs like the Alice will be more rare and spawn only in military. [Changed] Animal Meat yields. Goat: 2, Boar: 3, Sheep: 3, Cow: 4. Seeing as meat doesn't spoil this should add to scarcity. [Added] Brand new building class "Old Camp". Here you will find loot that would typically be found inside another persons camp. Small arms, low end AR's, ammo,food, survival gear. [Added] Chloroform (rare) to be used in pvp. This will allow for kidnapped/ransome scenarios to play out as it knocks out a victim for 3.5mins. [Added] "Flip Vehicle" action to allow players to do just that when they overturn their transportation. [Added] "Combat Logger" to eliminate combat logging. Once a person engages/is engaged in combat a 30second timer appears and disables "log out". Should also insta-kill anyone who tries to log by alt-f4 or kill process before the timer runs out (still to be tested). [Removed] All OP weapons, including L85, AS50, Fal NVG, M107, SVD, DMR and All SD weapons excluding M9 and MP5 SD.

Again not charging a fee for your mod, not charging a fee for OUR mod, we are simply charging a fee for server cost. Our owner could not do it anymore and thus left it on us. We decided to all pitch in together. This will be the last time I post this since you obviously can't read the multiple times I already have.

Like i said, you would keep "asshats" like myself from joining your forum by making sure anyone who joined your forum sends you a PM via skype or steam or however you want. This way you know who is supposed to be there and who isn't. Again simple stuff. Again why put something on PUBLIC space and then cry when someone takes it? Pomonkey this is what I am trying to get across.

There is a way to protect it. Make it private until someone REGISTERS on your forums and is ACCEPTED by admins. This way only people who are authorized to be on the server can have the files. It's really not that hard. Like i said, i have no issue asking for it, the fact that it was made public gave me access to it to give it to everyone else.

Again, make your stuff private so you can avoid this type of thing in the future. You have it for public download. My members asked for it so i gave it to them. Had there been some type of formal way to get (because it was private) then sure i would have gone through all the proccesses to get it. The fact that you didnt makes it open to anyone and everyone call me what you want or label me this and that, I am not concerend with this. Just know that your mod was taken from public domain, given credit, and used.

Again their "experience" was great before your mod came in, and will continue as such when your mod is gone.

Like I said, they don't pay for the mod, they pay for server cost because we do a lot behind the scenes. They ask, and we give, We never said we created our mod from scratch, we told them from the start that it was from Redux. I'm not sure how else to put it, and you guys can tell them to go play it for free, But that's what YOU don't get, they are NOT paying for Redux, they are paying for server upkeep as I feel the admins always go above and beyond for them to make sure their game play is amazing.

Profit? We ask for only enough to cover server fee, that is all. Trust me if I wanted profit I would not charge a whopping 2dollars. And I'm the kid? Ok "pomonkey" is it? Lol move along.

We banned him because he was an unauthorized user. His original post is still there for our entire community to read. Like I said, quit crying, make your code private and you CAN avoid this type of thing. We DON'T need your code, its just nice to have, We have no problem removing it, we had a great community before your code came and we'll still have a great community after its gone. We are only trying to make a great experience for all those who play dayz, nothing more, and nothing less

How is this "stolen" you made it open source by placing it for public use. It was brought to our attention by community members and we gave it to them. We posted all credit as it was due. We have no problem removing it from our server since you want to cry about it. Just know if YOU want to protect your mod then don't place it where just anyone can grab it.

We modify a lot of files to bring you a whole new experience, so no you can't just play vanilla with our mod installed, you would have to take it off. Also yes side chat is enabled, it is what the people wanted.

Yes, you must add the custom vehicles you want from rmod into your vehicles list. You can pick up where the list leaves off, I believe 34, and designate your first imported vehicle #35 for its id and continue down the list. Then in vehicle instances you can place them on the map, and instead of having to use class names, you only need to use id numbers. For instance after a fresh install we had 4 uh-1h spawn on map. Their id number is 15. After adding the little bird to our vehicles list, #44, we went into vehicles instances and changed the 15's to 44's and voila, little birds instead of Huey. Hope this helps

I look forward to speaking with you! Your coming in at a VERY good time as there is still plenty of fresh vehicles and lots of good survivor rivalry going on. Our RangerZ Mod has created a ultra survivalist experience where making every shot count, and scavenging for food is the difference between life and death.

Ok just submitted ticket. I followed all the steps UP to #15 where it has me update my dayzTOOLS db to the new hive 3.6. It keeps saying that my server is NOT updated yet and it wont continue until I have updated it fully to bliss 3.6. However I followed steps 1-14 which accepted all install changes without any problems yet my db toolz still say my server is not updated.

Thanks for sharing. I had to manually add vehicles via navicat. Now some players can see them and others can't!!! Oh man what a mess.

So I tried to clear all the vehicles using the SS tool they have. It removed everything as it should, however now no new vehicles spawn on the map. I have ran the tools that SS has issued that allows us to "runtasks" so that new vehicles spawn in but no luck.

How did you get it to work?

Our entire group is getting the same error. We have actually managed to get past that and are now at "waiting for host". We added -mod=@dayz;@rMod into dayzcommander launch options.

Ours is in the same state. I guess I missed the notice that this was going to happen :huh: . I had 10 different people blowing up admin skype because they didnt know what was happening.

Interesting. Well that clears it up. Thanks for the correction!

Yes all players have to have the modified file.

Private hive is really the only way to fully enjoy Dayz. Not only do you have the password protection but you also get access to the server files so that you can get in there and really make the server your own. Rent a Private hive server through SS and Run with it, trust me you'll never look back.

Thanks for the info!! Now I can stop messing around with that and get back to tweaking the loot tables. We are aiming for a more gritty version of Dayz for our server and starting without a pack would have been a nice touch. I completly understand though, won't cry over it. Thanks again for your help Koldan.

I actually figured out what was going on. I had success using this string :[["ItemWatch"],["ItemPainkiller","ItemBandage","ItemBandage"]]: However it only added those items to the original base loadout. The patrol pack and flashlight where still there. Is there anyway to remove both the pack and flashlight?
