just get day z commander mate its so easy!

I personally agree with removing the cross hair but this isn't really a valid argument for it as there will be hopefully plenty of new folk playing the game, or is that not what we want?

I think he means set it in a more western city, as to be fair the eastern European map, with it's Ladas and Skodas isnt exactly showcasing all the mod cons of western civilization in 2013

Hi mate, you're welcome to join our Bambi friendly Taviana server. We have our own clan (with 2 separate factions) as well as several other smaller clans using the server. We run our own TS3 server too that's free to use and get fellow gamers to team up with you on. Also we run a waste land server if you're interested in playing that, details below; Taviana server 2.0 - Standard starting load out - 400 vehicles, GMT-1, Veteran settings, 3rd Person [on] , daily restart for crash & vehicles respawns. More Bandits needed!

Hi, welcome to the forum. Yea it has been mentioned a few times over the last 9-10 months but that doesn't mean it's still not a good idea to set the game on a more modern, western map. I think even Rocket himself ina recent press release said he had plans or ideas for this in stand alone later down the line. I agree also that cars should be more abundant, but I think the counter to that should be that roads are heavily blocked and congested (making car travel difficult in it's self) and fuel should be more of a hassle to get hold of, both time consuming and dangerous to syphon, store or move with.

I always find loads of them wandering around aimlessly at airfields!

Check us out @ http://www.bsbnetwork.com We have a permanent TS3 server (better than sky) and out own Day Z and Wasteland servers. Weve been playing Day Z since launch (and a clan since 2002) and will be supporting the mod and stand alone game when it's released. We have over 400 Day Z players and 1700+ gamers registered, most of which are adult gamers in the UK/Europe or Northern America. We have no silly rules or requirements though and all we ask is you play fair and have a bit of common sense. To join sign up at the website and submit an affiliation form ("Join us" from the Community menu), or if you just want to join us for a few games, that's cool details are below; Server details

You could white list and warn people that it's against server rules and they will get banned for doing it. Other than that I dont think there's a lot you can do.

Also supporting Wasteland

Considering making the server a whitelisted server.....

Welcome to the game, gald to see you're enjoying the mod! Try out some of the custom maps (Taviana is awesome!) and private hive servers mate, they prevent hackers ruiing your game.

As far as I'm aware Day Z has never been about making it easy. For me it stands to reason that your average joe wouldnt be a great marksman so for me take the damn thing out and let us sink or swim!

Cant you just add the key to steam and download it and add your acitivation key there? Sorry ive never used these sites before but that's how I thought they worked...

Feel free to, we've seena number of good skirmishes lately but always need ore bandits and friendlies!

Hi all, our Day Z Taviana server and Wasteland servers are looking for mature gamers and bandits. Our admins are all adults and active daily, we don't kick of killing our clan members and we also have a free public TS3 server for users of the servers.

The Taviana server is restarted daily for fresh chopper/vehicle spawns, has 400 vehicles and is home for various small groups and lone wolves as well as our own 2 internal clans (BSB Ravens & BSB Scorpions). Details below; Our wasteland server is quite new and still building up popularity, but is fairly active already and a great place for anyone just starting out on the mod (as well as experienced players!). Details below Our Teamspeak server is free for anyone to use and is the best way of joining our members groups. Details are;

cheers hope to catch you in game soon

Hi folks, I keep getting the error "error compiling pixel shader PSSPectacularAlpha:0" when I launch AO. I tried Googling the problem but the responses all related to Arma 2 AO on steam (I have the disk version). I also tried going to BI's support forum but it needs me to have more than 3 posts before I can make a technical post(?!). Anyway, I know this isnt really the best place to ask but at present it's my only hope. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Which file is my profile settings ?

ARMA 2 on it's own launches fine for sure.

Thanks if that's the only option I'll have to give it a try.

As I said, I dont run ARMA through Steam, steam isnt even running. I have the full stand alone version of the game.

Just a couple of minor tweaks I'd like to see made to the mod (and hopefully the game), I've suggested them at different intervals over the last 9 months (as well as other people suggesting most of them too) but thought it might be a good time to repost them now as they wont be lost in a sea of posts any more and there are likely to be more community driven development releases of the mod; - Water canteens. These, in my opinion, should have 2-3 drinks in them, i.e. it should be the same as carrying 3 can, but still only take up one slot. To balance this out they should be a bit more rare and spawn only around military/hunting spawns. Presently they are more of a hassle to get refilled (for a single drink) and not worth the effort as sodas are so easy to find. - Paper & Pen. The amount of times I'd like to be able to leave a note or a message for other players and not been able to is silly - ok so it's only been a handful of times, but still it would be useful! May not be that popular but I think it would be useful, especially if you're on a clan server and want other clan members know which camps are yours. - Scavenging Parts fro other vehicles. Just seems like common sense to me that since you can put parts on a vehicle you should be able to take parts off them! - Vehicle tow/storage - Just as in Wasteland, you should be able to tow vehicles and store small vehicle s(bikes/motor bikes) in the back of bigger vehicles - Structure building - again as in wasteland this would be a fantastic feature to build structures however they should need individual parts scavenging first rather than ready made large structures. - Magazines and ammo separate. I dont think this is possible in the current engine but i think you should have to scavenge magazines and ammunition for weapons separately, making it more difficult to source high grade weapons and making you more mindful of how you use them. - Remove night vision goggles. Not going to be popular but I remember playing the mod when it was first released and you were forced to play on night servers, this was fun as everyone was at the same level in the dark. I think leaving the range finders and night vision scopes in is fine as there are limitations to these and they work better as a compromise . - Start with no back pack. Add extra storage that can be combined (Czech vest +back pack, add drop leg pouches etc). - Add helmets/hats/Crash helmets - More player skins that spawn in the same way as camo and chilli suits. - More breakable bones. The engine is supposed to be capable of dealing with nearly every bone in the body of the characters, this should be used in a better injury system. For example, shooting someone in the arm would break it and not allow them to use their weapon. - Head torches. - Make matches have a set number of uses - Molotovs cocktails - Add cigarettes/alcohol as a means of slightly increasing humanity (sharing with other survivors to signify "friendlies") - Add Caravettes (RV's) - Mortars would be nice, only available from military loot. - Fishing rods (for sourcing food from the sea) - Camo netting - baseball bats, hammers, knight sticks etc - used for breaking bones or stunning players - Stun grenades and zip ties. For stunning players and restraining them for limited periods of time
