Hi I brought DayZ the other day and have been having a really good time and have gotten some decent gear but I'm getting a new desktop in 2 days so, I was wondering, If I install DayZ on the new Desktop, Will I still have my Character? or will I have to start fresh? Thanks.

Awesome, That's exactly what I wanted to hear :)

Hi all, I'm Nick I have been working on my own modified version of DayZ and have been testing it with about 10 or so people but i would like to throw it in the community a bit more Basically i'm calling it DayZ Birth (at least for now) and i have focused it around the beginning of the outbreak in Chernarus (like DayZ Origins but in the Chernarus map) so there is more Vehicles, Buildings and even some Military quarantine officers.... DayZ Birth has a lot of map, vehicle and weapon modifications. One of the largest Map changes is Skalistic Island.... - It has gone from being fairly pointless to a PvP hotzone with Military Barracks, Vehicle spawns ranging from Mh-60S SeaHawk spawns to Jackal and Humvee spawns, to boat spawns and its own bridge to get there and back fast There is also the Aircraft Carrier about 400m off the coast of Chernarus with loot and vehicle spawns but be aware.... it's easy to be sniped on a open flight deck... Vehicle and weapon spawns have changed greatly as well. - AS-50s and M-107s no longer exist in Chernarus... instead the AS-50 is replaced with the L115A3 Lapua and the M-107 is replaced with the M110. there spawn rate is also decreased so no more getting sniped from 1km away every 30 seconds Though the Military is wiped out, some of their Vehicles havn't been destroyed yet... - DayZ Birth has new vehicles ranging from light armor like the M113 APC to armed boats like the RHIB, From Attack Helicopters like the KA-52 (only main cannon is enabled), to Heavy Lifters like the CH-47 Chinook, to simple extraction Aircraft like the UH-60M BlackHawk - There are also many different Varients of Humvee All the information can be found here - http://www.officialn...p?pages/whatis/ along with the full list of Banned/Unbanned vehicles and weapons If you just want to get into the game, files with installation guide, server information, etc can be found here - https://www.dropbox..../@DayZBirth.rar There is currently only 1 DayZ Birth server which has alot of vehicles and is mainly for testing all the spawns and making sure everything is spawning properly but soon i will make another server with a lowered amount of vehicle spawns, etc for the more serious players Any questions/suggestions can be posted below and i will reply as soon as possible :) Thanks for reading and i look forward to seeing you on the server ~Nick

you're the one resisting the truth The Vehicles are blocked in dayz_anim.pbo which has absolutely NOTHING to do with what sort of beta patch you have.... it's a completely different mod. That's almost like saying some vehicles are unblocked in DayZ because i have minecraft installed on my computer.... bit over exaggerated but it's essentially the same thing. DayZ and minecraft have about the same in common as dayz_anim.pbo and the beta patch

So you disabled Rmod for the screenshot?? New video or it didn't happen :P

And how about you upload a video showing your mods active?? you never showed it..... for all i know you had Rmod active and you're just lying

also, i just remembered this. I spoke to John Smith (if you don't know who he is, he made DayZ Takistan, DayZ Fallujah, DayZ Panthera, DayZ Lingor, etc) and even he knows that my way is the way

omfg kid. i will alter it back just to prove it

I have been playing ArmA 2 since it came out, hosted numerous servers and played at least 1000 hours with that config and never had an error and it works the exact same as any of my friends that have arma so yeah.... your point is invalid

Thanks, i will have a look at this now :) edit: just looked at this. While yes they have customized vehicles, it doesn't show me how to do so??

haha thanks man :) Um no it's not.... it always looks like that, even in default arma without dayz installed yet it's fine I have integrated expansions with addons folder so i don't need it active/present I replaced the default ArmA 2 stuff with the beta stuff so i don't need it active/present I play vanilla arma way more than i play DayZ and host about 5 vanilla servers and have no issues with vehicles so the lack of beta/expansion isn't the issue.

I have looked on the internet countless times about spawning banned vehicles..... Maybe you can make me a believer and make a tutorial or link me to one haha :P

Dude, you must have something modded. else it WILL NOT APPEAR. My video is 10 minutes away from finishing and i will upload it. you will see that vehicles that aren't in DayZ will not spawn. To anyone else reading this, open your ArmA 2 Activate DayZ Press ALT + E Place any vehicle not in DayZ I bet it won't spawn in

You must either have Rmod active or have tampered with your file. I will upload proof when it finishes rendering

Sorry, i had to take it down for a bit. it is now back up Sorry, the server was down. it is back up now But the server and client files have to be signed by a Bikey, meaning they have to be the exact same. Here's a example of how it blocks client side stuff. Open DayZ and in the main menu (where it has multiplayer, options, expansions, etc) press alt + e now place a A-10 (or anything bannec in DayZ) and place a ATV (or anything unblocked in DayZ) Press Preview.... you will not be able to see the A-10 because it is blocked in the dayz_anim.pbo file however you will be able to see the ATV because it is not banned in the dayz_anim.pbo file. You could take this argument to Deal Hall himself and he'd tell you the same thing.

No, because look in your DayZ mod on your computer.... if you extract dayz_anim.pbo you will find exactly what i said. It is banned server side and client side so yes, you need to download stuff

No you need Rmod for that.... In dayz_anim.pbo there is a file called config.cfg (or something like that) In that there is scripts like this "class AH6J_EP1: Banned {};" for every vehicle that isn't in DayZ by default. the Class AH6J_EP1: defines the vehicle, the "Banned" tells it's banned and "{}" removes all the information your game has about the defined vehicle so it is literally impossible to see/use

I removed The Hydras anyway haha

Yeah i can see that one of those servers would be awesome but i'm currently focused on bringing out the potential of default ArmA 2 CO before looking into other Mods

Yeah i removed the spawn for the AH-6J and will re-block it soon. too over powered I will see what i can do about your other suggestions :) cool, thanks man :) Didn't you read the post?? i said yes, the current server has a lot of vehicles but i will be making another server soon with a a lowered amount of vehicles

ViLayer is a great server company so don't worry haha. you just joined at the right time :P

Me and a few friends own a DayZ package from ViLayer. i sent a Support Ticket to the devs and they replied with this "Nick, We are aware of the current issues with your DayZ server. There was a serious data corruption issue within the Hive and we are working on a solution to this problem now. Please be aware that our main coder and CEO. (Lee) has been in the hospital and just underwent surgery. This has caused a delay in resolving the issues we are currently experiencing. We are looking at a 24 to 48 hour time frame to correct these issues and will offer all of our current customers an amount of goodwill free service as a way of trying to compensate you for this down time. Please submit a support ticket to Billing "AFTER" your server is back in working order to claim this goodwill offer. Please forgive this interruption in service and know that we are working to fix this ASAP! If you have any other queries or issues don't hesitate to get in touch.
