If the HULL, ENGINE, or FUEL gauges are red, your car can explode at any time. Treat it like you would a paper mache airplane gliding on water in the rain during a monsoon upside down; give up and leave it.

Shortly after playing, I met a survivor in Elektrovodsk. For fear of being killed, he gave me a Fn Fal to defend him with, and pulled out his own M107. Immediately I shot him in the back, killing him. As my legs were broken, the next 30 minutes were spent crawling about 100 feet from the crime scene uselessly. He respawned, ran to his body, retrieved a frag grenade (it was the only item I hadn't accidentally deleted trying to put into a starter backpack) and killed me with it. He later harassed me as I ran, taking pockshots and running into buildings before I could loot them. Unarmed as I was, I could not stop him. During these charades, we became rather fast friends. UNTIL a zombie broke HIS legs. I ran up to him, scroll-wheel opened his backpack, pulled the Fn Fal back out, and ran away with 4 clips of ammo. :)

You can't have different versions of DayZ (the different maps) installed at the same time; each one requires its own set of dayz.pbos, that conflict with each other. In the future, try having @DZCherno, @DZLingor, @DZTakistan as seperate mod folders, and activate each one *WITHOUT* activating the others according to which one you want to play.

Before you read: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/131699-another-dayz-short-story-the-foreigners-part-1/ ---start of part 2--- Warning: This part of the story may have considerably more graphic and/or violent language and images. Wolfgang ran back into the delhi and dove behind the counter just in time; the bottles and dishes on the counter exploded into millions of fragments under the hail of illegally converted automatic firearms. He sat up and inched towards the kitchens, back into the room of rotting meat, preferring to join the dead without dying. Herr and co kept shooting, eventually busting the door in and following Wolfgang. They kept shooting the whole way into the restaurant. Wolfgang took some pot shots from the doorway of the kitchen, then retreated back into the maze of ovens and sandwich preparation stations. Pots, pans, and bags of moldy sandwich bounced, flew, and shredded with each salvo and valley of racist gunfire. Wolfgang took a few more potshots, and thought he'd scored a hit when the shooting finally died down. He poked his head up, hesitantly, to investigate. "Oh, it's clear..." he whispered to himself. Just as Herr and his friend jumped into the cookery. Startled, Wolfgang held the trigger down and fell back. There was screaming when he landed and his gun went from "Bang bang bang" to "Click click click." Sheist! Motherfuc... He threw the gun aside and looked for anything to defend himself with. Wolfgang had almost made it to the back of the kitchen, to the fire escape, when Herr stepped into the end of the row. Wolfgang froze, and put his hands up. "Look, man, we can work this out. I'm not actually-" "SIEG HEIL MOTHERFUCKER!" Herr raised his pistol and pressed it against Wolfgang's forehead. He shoved hard, forcing Wolfgang's head back until he heard his neck crack. There was the odd sense of relief to neck cracking, coupled with the pant-pissing fear of being shot in the head by a large, smelly German man. "I... I don't..." Wolfgang swallowed. "O-okay." he swung a hand up to salute. "Sei-ow!" The side of his hand throbbed, from where it struck the side of Herr's pistol. "Ouch, fuck. I-" he stood up straight and realized what he'd done; the gun was on the floor, a few feet away, past a row of cabbages. Now his only advantage is the fact that he's three times my size. Wolfgang took a step back, then several, then turned and ran. Herr chased him. Wolfgang grabbed silverware, cutlery, food, plates, platters, a phone, and some phone books, and threw them behind him in desperate attempts to stop the advancing Aryan hoodlum. Herr was not deterred, and made up what he lacked in speed with determination. Halfway back into the delhi proper, Wolfgang tripped and crashed into a table, catching a rough corner with his stomach. he landed on his knees, coughing and clutching his gut. "Ow..." Herr was only a few bounds behind him. He put his hands on the table and tried to pull himself up, but grabbed something off of it instead and slipped back down, cracking his head against the linoleum floor. He groaned, and could feel Herr bearing down on him. He swung, futilely in a last effort to defend himself. He opened his eyes when something liquidy spread across his face. "The hell?!" When Wolfgang fell, it was because he had grabbed a butcher's knife. Still tight in his hand, the swing sent the wedge of blade into Herr's neck, buried halfway. "Holy... holy crap... I won..." Wolfgang pushed, and let the body fall beside him, then slowly got up. "I won. I WON!" He let out a whoop. The fear, the exhilaration, the adrenaline, the endorphins! MmmmmrrrrrrrrrreiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiichZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Something pale and long-since dead shambled into the kitchen. Twenty more pale and long-dead somethings shambled into he building. Countless more were shambling into the streets. "God fucking dammit." Wolfgang pulled the pendant from his neck and threw it at the closest zombie. "That's given me enough damn problems." He grabbed another knife and slipped out the back door. ===============If you liked this story, try 2 Years to DayZ and the first part of this story.

Hi. So imagine this: You have a flashlight and a pistol, but no NVGs. If you use the flashlight, you die because you don't have a gun out. If you use the gun, you die because you don't have a flashlight out. (Notice how those sentences are the exact same length?) You have pistol and a knife. You see a player and need to shoot him (he's a bandit or whatever other reason), but you want to kill the zombie in your way without alerting him. So you wield both weapons. Dual wield = reduced accuracy. Gun + knife = no iron sights; right-click = knife (or maybe MMB = knife?!)

Now noobs can miss TWICE as much!

So we've all seen dev videos concerning the new zombie tracking and attacking system. That's great. What worries is me when/how the SA zombies will agro. My suggestion: Zombies will not curiously move towards you without audio stimuli, like shooting or eating. Zombies will not run at you or attack without visual confirmation. Zombies do not agro just because other zombies agro; each zombie must see the player. However, zombies *will* shamble at medium-speed in the direction of other zombies. This way a sniper doesn't get agroed by every zombie in town, but he does have to change positions every few shots so quizzical zombies don't see him. "Ninjas" can shoot a player, and if they escape in time, avoid being chased by zombies, although you can expect the dead player's body to be covered in zeds. You can get your "Walking Dead" fetish on, if you do so have one, by crawling and hiding, instead of taking one step and every zombie to Cherno and back suddenly charging you.

Otherwise it's -1337 pro bandit- that never dies because he can blood bag between every fight. :)

Sounds interesting, and extremely useful. Is it one-time use? I'd prefer a one-shot version of this to a multi use.

Hello. So there's a lot of speculation as to exactly how zombies came to take over (presumably) the earth. Some ideas are fantastic, others realistic. Mine was inspired greatly by The Postman I tried to include reasons for American military-grade weapons to be in the game, and avenues for even more, exotic, and foreign items. Depending on North Korea's actions in the coming weeks, this may be rendered useless, as my story has long had NK's actions as a focal point. This is supposed to cover the span of 2 years, though exact dates/timelines have not been decided on. I don't know the history of "Zagoria," nor am I an expert in anyway on history or geography; I may have made fatal flaws. Feel free to quote that section and rectify it. Russian smugglers and gun runners start taking jobs with North Korean criminal and governmental agents. "Unification through Stratification" is published by Vladimir Pechov and translated into several major languages* Crashed smuggling van found with blood-smeared cabin. Surprisingly, all cargo is undamaged and accounted for. "Crazed Individuals" cause DMZ border violence, seen as NK "Supersoldier" or "Brainwashed Soldier" invasion. America + Allies take final steps towards backing South Korea NK nuclear strikes on Tokyo, Japan; Seoul, South Korea. Misfire hits southeast Russia/north-east Asia. Russian and ex-soviet client-state countries see uprising of "Ultra survivalist" strong-over-weak superiority anarchist group uprisings. Mass anarchy in rural parts of of east europe.US peacekeepers dispatched. Bite marks found on bodies and hospital patients. US/CDF/Russian/NATO peacekeepers and soldiers overwhelmed by anarchists and "Crazed citizens, dealing with hallucinations and fantasies of cannibalism." US/NATO soldiers recalled after American/west-european outbreak. Missionary trips and vacations to Africa are disbarred. No immigration/travel into the US from Africa or europe. First mass zombie outbreak hits Moscow and Kiev, in Russia and the Ukraine respectively. Anarchists take control of Zagoria and Yugoslavia. Zombie outbreak hits Elektrovodsk and Chernogorsk. Chernarus military retasked to higher-priority areas. *The book "Unification through Stratification" (Объединение через стратификации) is a pro-socialist "Manual" on how to efficiently run the world on a feudal system of serfs and lords, based on both physical power and material wealth. "Rebels without causes," criminals, punks, gang members, and et cetera that take advantage of the weak were attracted to these teachings quite naturally. Vladimir was crafty in how he recruited the rich; even though his teachings are pro-socialism, there's virtually zero possibility of someone to go into his system rich and not come out rich. Connected to major crime networks, Vladimir was behind the creation of the First Socialist Party (FSP, or Первая социалистическая партия). These anarchists worked to overthrow local governments and cause general chaos. Between the zombies uncooperative, violent citizens, containment of the virus was impossible. Now the question is, what is the rest of the story? Where are you from? Where will you go?

Hold on... you think I HAVEN'T? Any DayZ player that hasn't read WWZ or The Zombie Survival Guide needs to stop playing and go to the bookstore. I've got both of them sitting on my bookshelf dogeared to the most important or most entertaining passages. The section about Asian smuggling is what gave me the idea for Russian crime syndicates helping the disease spread.

Hey, I was just saying. Inception. made a really good post that convinced me to stop being so anal about it.

Last time I got stabbed by something, it was in the back. "Did I just get stabbed? Oh, cool I guess." *wait a second* "WAIT WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU STAB ME FOR?"

It's not anymore cheating than TS3, Skype, or Steam Chat. And actually no it's not cheating at all; it's exploiting.

I didn't write a history/theory on the zombie virus. Did Hall's brother? So I should still be in the clear?

Wow man. Just crush my dreams forever. How long until someone writes a crazy story about Hall's brother dying, so DayZ has a "Hall Ghost" like Minecraft's "Herobrine" ?

Double tap W to sprint. This makes EVERY zombie see you. BUT if you hit "X" while sprinting, you "Crouch" and your sigh/noise detector disappears while off of concrete/roads. Weird glitch, lots of fun. You can run between zombies without agroing any.

And Korean/illegally obtained weapons in the game. Can you imagine there being Norincos and all sorts of other Chinese-made guns in the game that break down after 2 magazines? XD

I used to LOVE flying Chinooks and sh!t into Zargabad, taking on flak and AA fire. The 30 people in the back would all be screaming and calling me an asshole noob when we flipped over/upside down, but I'd recover last second and slide in safely. We just didn't have a ride to get out with afterwards.

If you set it to the normal car spawn amount, I'd be interested.

Planes also go uncontrollably fast, so if you don't have good hand/eye coordination, ping, and PC specs, you're boned. It's easier to hick up the landing of a plane than chopper.

I love you, and you're a genius and all... but yeah, watch out for those Welshmen.

Heli is overall easier than a plane. I use keyboard only; I double tap alt so I don't accidentally flip out, UNLESS I'm combat flying and need quick/sharp turns. The best way to learn is to uninstall the game, go into editor, and create as many different crazy-ass scenarios as you can, INCLUDING but not limited to: Parachuting onto hard-to-reach places Landing on small/tall buildings without wrecking Flying through areas full of AA and LMG gunners/nests Flying through Elektro full of NPCs with LMGs/AS50s/M107s Break-neck landings Landing in forests Hovering to eject instead of landing
