The powerlines have their own little loot table, i believe it just consists of scrap metal, tank traps and c-wire.

:D Ha, yeah, nearly had a nasty accident there, Found it next to a house in the middle of the black forest,no idea who this ENULL guy is, he sounds like fun.

Pun of the week :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans:

Oh yeah, mentioned loads of times, but theres nothing they can do about it in the mod unfortunately, having that many zombies would result in everyone playing at 1 frame per second. The standalone will be different as the zeds will be handled by the server not the client.

You should really find another server thats running 1.8.0.3, theres a pretty bad issue with loot not spawning in 1.8.0.2. But if you need it heres the link for the manual downloads of 1.8.0.2 http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/149506-dayz-mod-1802-hotfix/

That fire extinguisher could make for a great improvised melee weapon. And the shovel, please let me hit zeds in the face with a shovel.

:) you nearly got us, I was the guy at the helicrash, you got me down to about 4k blood with that first round of fire, and the other guy was hit pretty bad too.

Should be, zombie spawning at least, its one the things i'm looking forward to the most for the standalone, zombies will spawn when the server starts not just when a player is nearby.Its a huge gamechanger, paranoia will increase dramatically as you'll no longer have the player radar that is the zombies in the mod.

I'd to see something like this implemented, anything to make the game world bigger. Would tie in nicely with SalamanderAnders idea here http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/149976-long-term-standalone-discussion-globalization-logistics-economy-and-more/ Not sure about not being able to return to a previous map though, quite like the idea of raiding parties coming from the badlands. Seeing as creating maps is such a huge task they could speed up the process by getting the community modders involved, Rocket has already said they will be hoping to encourage map makers by providing official tools and maybe even training. Would be great to see maps submitted for a shortlist and then voted for by the community to be included as expansions to Chernarus.

Just played on there for 40 minutes and loot was spawning fine, no different to any other 1.8.0.3 server.

Thats just the admins being dicks, I agree i'd expect admins to have more respect for the players populating their server. but most people associate admin abuse with cheating and without evidence of cheating its unfair to throw around accusations of admin abuse.

What exactly did it update? It either updated the arma 2 beta patch or it updated the dayz version. if you click on the image of arma2 near the top left corner it should show which beta patch you have installed. for dayz the recommended version is 103718, The Dayz version you need depends on which server you are trying to join. vanilla dayz was recently updated to version 1.8.0.3, but some servers might take a while to update. Check that you are on the same version as the server you are trying to join.

It's true that there is a lot of poorly run servers out there with admins that abuse their power, but i fail to see how your example story qualifies as admin abuse.

He had a boat.

Just tried and couldn't connect, you'll need to contact the admin or find a new server.

Probably just means the server hadn't been restarted in a long time. crashsites keep spawning over time.

something like this you mean http://3xa-gaming.net/home/forum/index.php?/topic/283-releasearma-2-borderless/ @OP, i dont have any issue with windowed mode cutting off chat, you sure you have it set to the correct resolution?

yeah, all dayz mod varients require only combined operations.

All you need is Arma2:Combined Operations. this is a bundle that includes arma2 and arma 2 operation arrowhead. Not sure how well the i5 would perform exactly, should be playable but you're not going to get 60 fps in the city.

Your CPU is more important when it comes to arma, A gtx 560 should be fine but if you dont have a decent processor it wont help.

I hope the OP isn't still searching after all this time :P

Loot not spawning correctly is a known bug, should be fixed in the next hotfix.

ha, yeah, you have to be on the exact same patch that the server is on, glad you're sorted now.
