You can download the Adobe Creative Suite and use a free trial if you think you can handle Dream Weaver.

You could most likely write something in Basic or DOS to queue the files, if you know the language. Then of course it would take simple adjustments thereafter to queue again with different files.

To the creators of Taviana, Panthera, Lingor, Ovaron, Thirsk... You are freaking geniuses. Today, I decided, I'm going to make an ArmA 2 map. Then, I might put it on for DayZ if it's any good. So, I downloaded the BIS tools. The stuff you use to make it. With Visitor 3. To make a map. WELL, apparently, you also have to -make a parition -extract .pbos -make folders -download 3rd party programs -edit directories -move things in folders -edit configs -do some scripting -find a monkey in South America and KISS IT ON THE LIPS! Not all in that order. My point is, my goal is simple. I want to use the fucking bulldozer to make a map. I see the bulldozer commands in the game. I need to run it. So my first hardship is making the directory for bulldozer. There are two directories. Apparently everyone who's already asked knows which is which for what and why because they never really specify, so it leaves me trying all these directories that inevitably fail, and push me on to the next thing. Another part that sucks is that if you use Win7 you know that they no longer show true directories in the address bar when browsing folders, but instead arrows that no one (or atleast I don't) ever uses, so copying and pasting cannot be done when finding my ArmA2.exe. I now have to write it out manually, which is bad because it's not the OFFICIAL directory, so there could be mistakes, though I can't help it because I can't see it (but I think there is a way to see the true directory and copy-paste, does anyone know it?)! Also, I wonder, what about the capital letters? That person has their directory without them, but some things in my directory have spaces, and or capital letters. Do I include them? It doesn't work either way, so I wouldn't know! I'm fairly certain if I could get bulldozer to work, I would be fine. Unfortunately, EVERY tutorial I find has some backwoods run around that requires ANOTHER tutorial, until I'm questioning my desperation putting a .dll for a .pbo extracter in system32, which inevitably does not work, even though it is in the specified location.... My point is, I go to find a tutorial, and each one has a different friggen way. The same idea, but almost nonidentical in process. I tried looking on YouTube for a video tutorial. Nice. Visual. Evidence. Could not find ANY for Visitor 3 or bulldozer in the direction I wanted to go. All they show you how to do is damn download it, and all the intelligent people thereafter continue tutorials on Oxygen 2 but NOT Visitor 3. Then there's just videos on the real-time 3-D editor in the game, which I do not want. Here I am, asking the community in hopes someone can provide a -user friendly -simple step -uncomplicated -straightforward -nicely detailed -troubleshooting (talks about what problems users might have in tutorials and provides workaround solutions if encountered) -no extra download required (other than BIS tools, ArmA 2 games, or OFFICIAL software by Bohemia for this purpose) tutorial for Bulldozer. I would be so greatful. It doesn't have to be all of these, but it's my dream tutorial. I KNOW that if people could make maps for ArmA, it can't be as hard as it is for me. I'm missing something and I need help, because everyone is just confusing me with all these different ways and things to do. What am I doing wrong? If all else fails, I just need a simple and easy-to-follow tutorial THAT WORKS. Thank you so much!

Please give me some REAL content if you reply. That I posted (monkey thing) content was intentional, obviously. I don't want that to be the main thing people look at in this thread, so please give me something. Thanks.

You seem to not understand where f-off is more of a flame than anything I've posted here. If you think I'm not contributing to the discussion, then you don't respond. It is that simple. But since now I feel like you need more reasons to maybe repel, here's that list: -Epoch was made for Chernarus The placement, flow, layout, and everything was good for Chernarus. -Everybody likes Chernarus. More or less. If you don't like Chernarus and you play ArmA2 or DayZ, you've got a problem. It was a failsafe at a large target audience. -New maps are buggy and unprofessional. -Modding I imagine it would be harder to mod a map that is already a mod for the game, while using a total conversion mod for the game. -Everyone has Chernarus If someone for some reason couldn't or didn't want to install new maps, it would be no problem. -Size Chernarus is one of the biggest maps for DayZ out there. -Popularity If people don't like a map and Epoch is it, they won't play/like it, therefore decreasing popularity. -Time If you keep expanding and don't perfect what you have, you have a pile of trash, rather than say a dirty collared shirt ready to be taken to the cleaners. More maps = more time = worse on each of them = more work keeping them up to date. Some of these reasons talk as if Epoch was to be made on only ONE map, I'll give you that, but there's a thing in the list for that, too.

So you insult me, while also REJECTING an answer after someone supplies you with one? You asked why there are so many servers. I could give you a list, but it's with such obvious reasons I assume if you took the time to think about it you could come to the same conclusions. Sounds to me like you're just complaining, and this thread is just about useless. But hey, that's just my opinion. Never hurt no one, never got nowhere, but it's still there; do what you will with it.

Do you really expect one person to justify the actions of about 4,138 people who own a Chernarus server?

Microsoft: *removes the start button* Adam, the lead technician on the project: "Oh, that's a damn good idea, removing that there useless button for the PC version. People can access their programs via shortcuts and right clicks to find the file location! Nice going!" *sells it* Adam: "Oh, yeah, I was lying. I just told you that so we can put the start button back in, resell the exact same product and reap money from the people who want a new OS but don't want it to suck. We've thrown in some more useless features that you would've expected in the original package, and we've set a ridiculous price. :D :thumbsup:" GO ADAM!!!

It was made for a tablet. Commercial: "On your tablet-! Look at this for your tablet! -tablet! Tablet-! And you can do this, this, this, and oh cool, this, all on your- Tablet, tablet, tablet, tablet!" *sells it for computers without majority having touchscreens anyway* :facepalm:

Once, I was at NEAF. I shot at a guy once with my sniper, got some aggro, and then relocated. He left. He was wearing only a survivor skin and had an M4A1. So my friend shows up and loots while I cover, and about an hour or so later, I see the other survivor on the hill, in a ghille, crouched, with an M107 aimed right at the place. I was RUNNING, right behind him, and he didn't even see me. I had enough time to be freaked out, assess the situation, line up hipfire shot with my M40A3 and take it. He never even heard me, or turned at me at all. I've also snuck up on people a many before and have been close enough that I would have been able to hear the heartbeat had I known about it.

My friends told me about it being in the DayZ mod right now. The thing is, I don't think it's in vanilla ArmA in any way (except maybe sound effects or something), so if Dean wanted it in the mod and it's STILL there (they say it's been in a while), it's very unlikely it's not going to be in the standalone. This is why I say probably, because it is his decision and sometimes people don't do what you'd expect, or they'll find a new way, ect ect. It's a possibility not worth ruling out, to state it that way.

If you get about 30m away from someone and listen, you can hear a heart beating. The faster it is, the lower the humanity (or is it the other way around? needs confirmation). This will probably be in the SA.

Here's a suggestion for the devs: -lots of guns -lots of cars ...but really freaking messed up. Getting a car and gun should be as easy as it is now, but getting it working should be a different story. Think about it. It's been 5 YEARS. The military has scattered their weapons and now they're battered and torn, broken and need fixing. The civvies have used and used their guns and the rest lie in ever-changing conditions for the time after that. There's a lot of guns, they're just BROKEN. Getting a gun should be an effort. It makes you feel invested, and will have other effects that I don't want to make a point of because they aren't relevant to the suggestion and don't support it, and I don't want to derail this quickly on discussing these effects and whether or not I'm correct. It also gives a sentimental feeling, and makes DayZ a game that you can't just go into, shoot a bunch of people and be done with. It's now a survival game, something that people have wanted. That sniper on Elektro hill better have everything he needs to clean that grease-trap, especially the good military stuff for his high-end gun. Same with cars. There will be TONS on the roads, but they will be crashed, busted, and need fixing, and few that don't.

How about vehicles then? You all have convinced me on the guns, but what about many,broken vehicles?

Guns are rugged and dependable, but they've also been used. No doubt battered and beaten, fighting off the zombies,and that causes damage. Then they're just left there. Finding a gun shouldn't be exciting, it should be getting one WORKING that's exciting (pertaining to this idea).

This should not be a concern. It disheartens me to think even if you TRY to prevent thread derailing, people will still come in and plant the seed. So maybe I have a misconception about the year, or timeframe, but that doesn't fucking matter. You come in and say one thing that barely has to do with the thread except that it's in the OP,and you don't even give anything to the actual suggestion! Come on people. And no, this isn't queue for you to highlight a sentence and reply to me about thread derailation, topic relevance,or timeframe. You want to do that, shoot me a PM, and I'll edit as needed. Talk about the suggestion, please.

It's been known the outbreak happened for 5 years since 2007, to 2012,and also DayZ 2017 is set 10 years after the infection 5 MORE years after this DayZ.

Proving your innocence? You obviously have NO idea about facts. A fact -can be proven. -cannot be disproven. -has evidence to back it up. Ok, well... you provided those, so you do know about facts. BUT, it is so ludicrously presented that I actually CHUCKLED while reading your thread. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO MAKE ME LAUGH? Very. Here's the problem(s). Numbero Uno- Oooh, looky, pictures of your files. How do I know that you didn't just delete the hacks? And a picture of your downloads folder? How do I know that you didn't just delete the files from there? Because you're not smart enough to realize that pictures of those places won't prove your innocence, so you wouldn't of thought of deleting them? Psh... Moving on... Deux-

Well when you post one picture and you don't show any improvement pictures at all or explicitly say THIS IS NOT THE FINISHED PRODUCT, then people think "They've finished it, and now they've moved on to something else." I can understand when they think that RIGHT AWAY, how it makes you chuckle, but really after that it's hard to remember that they're PROBABLY doing more stuff, even if they don't say it. Here is when you get a quote and prove me false, but I'm talking in general, and I don't remember when they showed these faces.

The asian guy looks like he's looking at something disgusting, the caucasian looks like he just got caught doing something bad (and is trying to act natural), and the black guy is keeping his cool. Just a little bit.... No? Maybe try closing one eye, cocking your head to the right, then squinting the other, and putting an eyepatch over it. See it now?

They're taking an MMOish RPGish turn to DayZ. Most likely it will follow FO and those will be defaults with sliders that edit your face. Expect to see lots of derp in the near future (IF they have slider functionality).

They can also: -get the mail -bite the mailman -get you sued -get zombified -betray you -rip out your guts -get in the way of your shot -eat all your food -drag around a really smelly corpse you've tried to get rid of but it always keeps finding it because it smells so bad and you really wish it would drop it for some soap

Oh no, here comes the "humanists".... Better pick up your knapsack and run pal; they're coming, coming fast, and ain't nothin' gonna stop those boys from picking you up and tearing you to peices- Bit. By. Boring. Bit.

Or.... join Balota Buddies. All the regulars from the forums hang out there, no joke. You want a list? I can give it to you, but I forgot to eat lunch today (silly me, forgetting to eat) so I don't have time because I might eat my monitor if I keep typing omnomnom *i really need to eat something or I'll keep typing weird things*

Do I see a conspiracy thread?
