Awesome server, great admin. Give it a try.

Howdy folks. So far i've been running my server just "out of the box" as provided by Vilayer. We've been fairly happy with this so far. However I'm hearing more and more positive things about thes custom "scripts" that can be used on servers to do wonderful things such as having AI patrols, adding custom buildings, chanings vehicle spawns, adding in different vehicles, being able to build bases like in Wasteland, having vehicle towing or drops etc. etc. After doing a bit of research it looks like it's just the Missions.pbo file that contains these scripts. I've googled around to try and find out more but havent really found anyhing definitive on where to get pre-made scripts or even how to create tehse scripts. Some sources suggest these scripts can be made from scratch using the in-game edior, others seem to be purely code based. Can anyone out there help clarify this for me and maybe point me in the right direction of where to begin to understand all this please? Ideally all I want to do is add a few pre-made custom scripts to the server nice and easy like without having to mess about too much, or am I being overly optermistic there?

Sent youa PM and will check out your server for sure. Thanks again.

I'm interested in all of those things really, depending on how hard they are to implement and manage I guess.

Not yet we're using Vilayers standard hive mysql ,i wanted to explore what was needed and recommendd first beore we moved to having a custom setup.

Cheers. I've got a contact who can help me out with a couple of scripts but I'd still like some more information and background knowledge on the subject.

Put it in a vehicle or on the ground?

Always worth looking in. Lots of little skirmishes last night. Fognus and myself recored another 4 kills against Raven Faction last night, including an awesome "siege" shootout at a factory in sabina where we chased a car full of Ravens. I also got whacked in the Fire station at Bylov by a new player.

This event is open to anyone to take part

Doesnt everyone have an Ural that's permanantly stocked full of old tins, cans and bottles then? :S

Or you could just help the guy out and fill his tent with empty tin cans. We do that all the time to player loot stashes we find on our server. It proper messes with them - the amount of people I get contacting me becasue of a "server bug" that has spawned loads of trash in their tent/vehicle is really funny.

My worry with something like this would be the advantage it would give when going PvP and how much it would encourage douche bags to rape and troll new spawns with already inferior kit and now with this proposition inferior skills/health. As with anything put into the game, theres a lot of players that just abuse features like this, rather than appreciating why they are there. Dont get me wrong, I'm not calling for ultimate balance for PvP, or asking for Day Z not to be a harsh environment(the harsher the better for me), but this just is going to encourage some of the more frustrating elements to the game and not going ultiamely going to challenge players beyond a few days. I do like where the idea is coming from though and players should be rewarded for longevity of a character and O do think this is the sort of avenues the mod/SA needs to explore.

Why bother? I dare say he's just trolling and not harvesting the crap loot.

Well if thats the case I'm sure this will be moved to the grave yard, in which case i'd be happy to chat this over via PM.

Howdy mate, you're welcome to hang out with our group on our Taviana server. It's currently very good for newbies and survivors who just want to get to grips with the game, base build and scavenge as part of a group. We also have a free public comms server (mumble) and weekly events such as the Death Rally or Seek and Destroy, Check out our website for more details @ http://www.bsbnetwork.com

Hiya, i'ma fan of this idea of temporary storage using dumpsters, mail boxes, locker rooms etc etc. Yea it has cropped up a couple of times before but Im not the forum police so I dont care. It could and should be in the game as it encourages longer play (people like to hoard and otehr like to hunt stashes!).

How long have you guys been playing Day Z?

Not a bad idea. I do think the entrenching tool could be put to better use though anyway. Id like to use it to dig vehicles into the ground making them easier to camo from the air.

I like that you said probably, but I'll be the judge of that.... You got links to it?

most offer a deal to tackle most of that on some level. Depends what you're willing to pay I guess. Two I know of and recommend are Dayz.st (not sued them myself yet) and vilayer.com

thanks for the feedback and info.

Hey mate you're more than welcome to tag along with us. We have loads of players who are more than happy to help players get to grips withthe game. We have our own servers, have loads of regualr players, have two pre-establsiehd factions as well as several small teams and groups and lots of "Lone Wolves". We have our own comms server for in-game communications and general chat & advice. We also play regular weekly events with different objectives (sucha s seek and destroy, search and rescue, death rallies, battles etc). More details can be found on our website @ http://www.bsbnetwork.com

Sounds,.....er,...nice.

Hi matey, do you already have a tavi server you play on regularly? Just we have a growing and active community already playing on our server that you would be welcome to join. We have two main factions Ravens (stealth, friendly, evasive etc) and Scorpions (hostiles/bandits). We also have lone wolves and a couple of Private Military Companies roaming around. We have weekly events too that are played out over the course of a season such as The Death Rally, Assaulty and secure, escaped fugitives and Battle royales. We have our own Taviana server and host our own public comms server too for players to use when online. More details can be found on our website :@ http://www.bsbnetwork.com

Yea i think the link is more useful than irritating. Its' been beneficial to me more times than it's been a pain in the arse to me at least. Maybe there could be a preference option for it though?
