The game itself is set not to run too large a music file. Run it through Audacity or some other music editing program. Take out a few seconds of the end if it has a long silence.

:D

The Glock *should* fit in the starter backpack. I don't know.. I've had mixed results with the flashlight; I think it's just one of those bipolar parts of the game that either works or doesn't. When I first starting playing, they wouldn't turn on. Now I can't turn them off. Can they be "Fixed" and "Broken" like NVGs?

So the knife should make short-range stabbing/cutting sounds, and the user should make grunts and ughs? That could work. I had a conversation the other day about D&D classes in DayZ. The #1 vote was Cleric for "Turn undead" powers, second vote was sorcerer, and my vote was Ranger.

Hi. So imagine this: You shoot a player in the back, startled, and go up to check on him. He dies in your arms. You search his gear, and find a small notebook. "To whoever is reading this: Fuck you. I'm probably dead, and you're probably enjoying my stuff. Congradulations. I've been alive for IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII III weeks. I've got a little girl, Clem. She's at camp waiting for dinner. The dinner you're eating. My little girl is starving because of you, bastard. "If it does so concern you, there is a bag of food in locker #32 at the Cherno train station. It is blue. The key is hidden under a sack of bad grains in the corner of the building. I've marked my map Camp 1 so you can find Clem. Feed her, and then you leave her alone." You roll the body onto its back and find a map tucked into his breast pocket. You pull it out. There's a bullet hole that's torn Stary Sobor into 2 cities. A smattering of blood and ink runs off the page. A thick, black circle with "CLEM X" is was marked. You'll never know where Clem is, and now she is going to die. Alone. OR situation two: Everything above, except you go to Cherngorsk and find locker #32. You grab the key and open the locker. BLAM C4 detcord-on-door trap goes off in a large flash of light.... but you're okay. A message in the locker says, "I was never good at making bombs anyway. I hope you're at least blind. I lied about the food." DayZ could have SO MUCH in it.... Just think about the Machinima aspects this system would have? And this is how it works: You have a Book, which is your gun. You have paper, which is your magazine. You have pencils/pens, which are your ammo (or vice-versa). When you "Fire" a menu pops up that lets you write with full keyboard/mouse control. OR Combine notebook/pencil paper/pencil whatever/whatever to get writing material. Right-click "Writing material" and open up a GUI like above. Most importantly... Allow keyboard shortcuts to work. CNTRL + V should help you paste something, so you can leave a message on different servers. No hyperlinks allowed. Bold/italics/strike-out not required, but would be nice. Maybe when you type, it's in clear text, but when you hit "Done" and it's published, it converts to handwriting? And you choose taller/smaller-wider/thinner handwriting fonts based on anxiety, damage, heavy breathing? So if you're bleeding to death, your handwriting is going to be harder to read than if you're relaxing by your fire place! FINALLY, but not leastly: The ability to save a message you read in-game as a .txt on your desktop, so later when you're on the forums talking about this *awesome* note you read, you've got something to actually quote?

Your signature is great.

Actually, it comes from Nepal. Nepal was one of the first countries British colonizers gave up on; the number of decapitations per minute the kukri could score made colonization pointless.

The fast movement of vehicles and the change in animation/condition that the server has to keep track of might cause a sudden lag spike, for whatever reason, with your system. Maybe cars don't like you? I've personally never had this happen before, but talking to people in direct/vehicle chat I very often hear, "Yeah I'm dysnced" as soon as we start driving. Thankfully I'm usually the driver, so it doesn't kill us.

And what? Deal with a bunch of zombies? Oh god. Not this shit again. DayZ gave me nightmares. Then I finally calmed down and went back to the game. Then I got double-dog dared to drink a Mtn Dew on Green Mountain after reading about the "Ghost." I go to drink and this asshole opens direct chat with this creepy-ass demon child scream... I'm exaggerating about the nightmare part, but it did scare the hell out of me as far as the voice ghost whatever.

Because your dad is looking at porn and your sister is torrenting music. Or similar internet boggles. Are you on a hotspot plan? Does your provider throttle?

You might as well have a singleplayer mode with AI. I know it's not the same, but it's still fun/difficult if you're on a high difficulty setting. What I really want to see out of Official Servers... 1. Normal mode servers 2. Normal mode servers, urban-based map (less loot per building, but it's mostly giant city) 3. "Hardcore" servers, normal map. Gear CAN NOT be transferred from normal to hard core, or vice-versa. You're expected to die extremely often; zombies are 15% "Smarter" and have 15% greater hearing/sight range. Gear has 5%-15% greater spawn rate. Ammo is more common. No cars or helicopters. You get hungry/thirsty faster. Disease is 15% more likely to occur. Et cetera. 3. "Hardcore" servers, urban-based map Then after every 1-6 months of play (because I'm assuming there will be shitty private-hive server support) a new "Community favorite" map (one that is immensely popular and lots of private servers use) gets used on a normal/hardcore series, after a month of optimization/loot spawn corrections/balancing/et cetera.

You would need to make/find a script that changed your skin to the desired one, then edit your mission file and create a trigger that has an "ExecVM" executable. IE, scroll-wheel while in a designated zone allows you to change your skin, or a certain player could use Radio Mike Alpha to do it. In other words, it's a pain in the ass. Especially because non-A2OA skins can't wear backpacks, and non-DayZ skins can't combat roll. There are a couple of other glitchy things that aren't immediately apparent.

I like this idea, but I won't give beans. Why? TommyJankinsJunior has started playing game DayZ. Click to join game. Steam would make this too easy, rendering it pointless. It is a fanfuckingtastic idea, but sadly... Steam.

So basically what you're saying is... "I know how to make my own server, but I don't know how to cheat. Please help."

I don't think 100% of all gas stations in DayZ are able to be refilled at. The tiny one you're talking about is one I've had difficulties at. Is it kind of north-east, closer to the coast than Stary? ---I don't know that for a fact. I hate driving in DayZ too much to look into it.

Thank you. Saved me a google search!

By "Flashlight cap" do you mean a hat/headstrap with a flashlight on it? That could be cool.

1: It's possible, and you can even be accurate when you shoot at shoulder level, but shots in front of you, but it's not practical "BANGBANG, BANGBANG, BANGBANG... shit gotta reload." There'd be no point in taking dual-gun over iron sights unless you *really* suck and have *a lot* of ammo You could play on a version of DayZ where cars are everywhere and all the cars that spawn only have 1% health, so there are constant explosions during gunfights? x13 blood/gore effects? Time to get Notepad++ out and start scripting again. Ugh, you people give me too much work... XD

Wow... I mean, I know we all hate CoD over here... but wow... I feel like my secret ownership of an Xbox makes me a Jew hiding in someone's attic. XD

Utes is going to be an island off the coast of Chernarus, if I know what I'm talking about. This is my reference:

Until a week later, by the time the hardcore players have already got an AS50 and have made reviews/guides/tips/whatever videos and uploaded them to youtube. I'd like to see official servers provide some Seattle-New York-BOSWASH esque map, that's more city than rural area. Zombies are a bigger threat and loot would have a much lower weapon-to-building ratio.

That's the most important part of any suggestion, no matter how good it is.

No, I don't play on a BB server. I use to know 3 good servers that *said* no TS3, no 3P, and worked on an honor system. It was fun, and no one ever shot each other... or if anyone did, you'd meet pretty big search parties hunting down bandits, direct-chat only. Everything was fun, organized, and the conversations you could have while you're looting together were great.

I've got other stories. Maybe I should start linking all of them?

Does your pistol disappear when it goes into your bag? Is it because your pistol cannot find room in the bag and gets deleted? That happens to any gun you put in too small a bag. Sorry you lost your gun, man. That happened to my first three Cz550s. ;( This gives me an idea on dual-wield pistol + light for reduced accuracy.
