Just saw Rocket in DayZ, he was hiding under a box of .45 ammo.

all holes must be found to be able to patch them out. there hasn't been a single loot based game that has had no item spawning exploits. they were all patched out eventually. this is just the alpha, so stuff like this is TO BE EXPECTED.

this is what night looks like in the summer, pretty much. autumn is a lot different. thats when dayz takes place. it should be darker and there should be more contrast, colours should be more washed out, maybe add just a hint of tone on (orange etc). the original (unshopped) image lacks contrast, other than that it is pretty realistic.

it looks good, but is ridiculously unrealistic. nights don't look like that in that particular part of the world, especially in late autumn. you guys should go outside more. its not far cry 3 or world of warcraft out there, nights are DARK and making out colours is very difficult.

no meters. the text system just needs a bit of tweaking.

what has a russian region key got to do with stolen keys?

to those asking for server files: you can use your old server files for now. backup your database, in case there are any issues. manual patch downloads (for example: http://uk1.dayz.nu/latest/ ) have a dayz_server.pbo file inside which you can place inside @hive\addons, this worked for me, I don't see why it shouldn't work for you.

so when can we get the updated @hive files?

Takistan and Fallujah Serverfiles for DayZ 1.7.2.6 ! last updated: 04.10.2012 - Updates at the end of post IMPORTANT: These files are NOT compatible with any other Takistan or Fallujah release! Takistan: This is my version of the Takistan DayZ experience. This work is based on Antirocket's version of DayZ server, found here: http://www.tunngle.n...ayz-server-now/ The dayz_server.pbo I am using is a modified version of Ashfor03's, this pack is also using his fixes. his newer fixes can be found here: http://www.tunngle.n...-for-dayz-1726/ Features:zombies! more zombies! residential loot industrial loot military loot vehicles chopperwrecks a few medical and military tents Does not feature: rubble, debris, burnt vehicles fortifications etc Industrial loot and fuel is hard to come by, medical supplies are scarce. Note: Always backup your serverfiles, in case something goes wrong. I can't be held responsible if you break something. :D Download: https://github.com/d..._1.7.2.6_v1.exe Installation: Just download and extract this package to your Arma2OA folder Make sure you change the admin password inside server_takistan.cfg and rconpassword in BattlEye's BEserver.cfg! Connecting clients must also have the @dayz_taki folder! Fallujah: Features:zombies! residential loot industrial loot military loot vehicles chopperwrecks a few medical and military tents Download: https://github.com/d..._1.7.2.6_v1.exe Installation: The installation is similar to Takistan's, with the exception of having to download the Fallujah map ( http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=12315 ). You MUST extract the fallujah map in the default folder (@fallujah1_2) Make sure you change the admin password inside server_takistan.cfg and rconpassword in BattlEye's BEserver.cfg! Connecting clients must also have the @dayz_fal folder! Updates:

RMod maybe? I haven't tried. http://www.tunngle.net/community/topic/87391-rmod-for-private-servers/

Oh yea, I totally forgot about the dll files that communicate to the database. Someone who knows more about those dll files could shed some light on this...

unpack the file in your main arma2oa folder, where the @dayz folder is. @fallujah1_2 should be in the same folder with the other @ folders.

Actually, now that the linux arma2 dedicated has been updated to latest patches, one would not even need Wine to run a dayz server? I have not looked into it, but it should work. BTW, I am using the ancient Antirocket build, which only needs MYSQL and vcredist_x86 (might actually require wine for that). http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?141135-ARMA-2-Operation-Arrowhead-Linux-Server-beta-1-62-97755

My first player was a guy in a bandit suit. Ran into him in the wilderness near Kamenka, he was just sitting, staring at me. He was armed with a winchester, while I only had a makarov (starting gear back in May or so). I ran back to where I came from and hid in some bushes. He came running after me, I didn't know how to react, so I shot him in the face a few times. I kinda felt bad about it later, but he was a bandit, so that was my justification back then.

The GPU is holding you back the most. Look here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5541/amd-radeon-hd-7750-radeon-hd-7770-ghz-edition-review/11 this review shows the 7750 as an equivalent to the old hd4870. The hd4870 was a good card in 2008, but now its only good for less demanding games on non-HD resolutions. Do not expect to get 40-60fps in cherno or electro, unless you're willing to swap out the whole system. Also, running on the correct graphics settings can change a lot.

glad you got it sorted out. :thumbsup:

do you have any issues with other serverpacks? we could find out, if the problem is strictly related to this pack, or not.

try overwriting the MYSQL and @stats_fal folders and the two dll files with fresh files from the pack if that does not help, then try downloading those three dll files from here: https://github.com/P...-Private-Server you need hiveext.dll (inside @hive) libmysql.dll and mysqlcppconn.dll also check if any firewall program is blocking any connections to the database. Edit: sorry, I don't have skype access at the moment.

as I said, check the file properties. The server can start without properly connecting to the database because the launcher does not check the connection between the server and the database. Edit: is there some kind of special firewall application running on the server? that might be blocking the connection to the database sometimes.

It seems to have trouble connecting to the database. do you have libmysql.dll and mysqlcppconn.dll in your arma2oa directory? maybe they are blocked by the OS? also check the hiveext.dll in the @stats_fal folder. check their properties to see if they're blocked.

which rpt file did you check? cfgdayz\arma2oaserver.rpt ? did you try takistan to see if that one works?

@bollazee, try to join your server and then dump your character_data into an sql file and post it here? right click character_data-dump sql... also, post your beta patch number and the commandlines you use to start your game and server with

this has been asked numerous times. the extra vehicles are NOT a part of this pack. the map is not very balanced as it is, with the airfield having so many barracks, one group could arm themselves to the teeth. having vehicles with machineguns on them would make it even worse. however, I might add those in later, when I have the time to research them - modification of @dayz data files is required.

make sure you use the same @dayz_taki or @dayz_fal modfolder to launch the game and the server. different/old versions might cause errors.

If you want to modify and sign files, you can use DSutils2 for that. There are tutorials on how to use those, just look in the official bistudio forums or google it. The bug you mention is from 1.7.2.6 itself, I believe. Nothing we can do about that, really.
