    When I put together this costume I said 'imagine an African white Christ from space'. And this is what they came back with. An African white space Christ. That's just the concept.

    US 3480 - Banned Players

    Cheers for the kind words, fellas. I appreciate it. We had a lot of great times, and sadly they have come to and end. No regrets. I don't hold any animosity towards anyone, especially the Dev Team. Razor, Kichilron, Alby, and the countless other devs, former devs, and contributors do more for DayZmod than most of the community will ever realize. There's no way to put into perspective the types of challenges they face, but in an attempt to do so I would say this: Imagine you are trying to build a house for all of your friends and family and their friends and their families to live in...you have only a hammer, nails, a saw, half a sheet of plans/blueprints, and one or two partners...and you're told that before you declare part of the house to be "done" someone that's not involved in your work has to sign off on it; furthermore you have no real way of making them come check your work when you do finish a bit. Oh, and you're building it free. No big deal. I have absolutely nothing but respect for not only the amount of work they put in (for free, mind you) but for the amount of never ending abuse they take from the community. Thick skinned, iron willed, and hard as woodpecker lips. We should all take a second before criticizing or complaining, because it's not an easy job they are doing--and they are doing it for free because they love what they do. Faco, you know I love you long time. 3480 never would have been what it once was (7th in the world at one point!) without you there to constantly fix anticheat measures and bugs, and also let me break your code until we could figure out what was wrong with it. You complicated s.o.b. I love you Cheers, Guys B) You all have my beans! :beans: :beans: :beans: -Jimmy

    US 3480 - Banned Players

    To whom it may concern: US3480 and US3481 are officially closing. There is a lack of interest, a lack of traffic, and a lack of donations. Don't get me wrong, the server was essentially running because I enjoyed it and other members (Namely Triton) were willing to split the bills. Now that there are fewer players around, much less traffic, and less to do...it's just not the same. We had a great run and I thank everyone that was a part of our community in one way or another. It's just time to call it quits. Cheers, Jimmy

    US 3481 Server Down?

    Hey fellas, I started updating 3481 yesterday and was pulled away to do some other things in the office. I'll get it back up and running with updated versions ASAP. Sorry for the delay. In other less fortunate news, the server will be going away as of the 21st of this month. I've canceled the dedi I was running 3480 and 3481 on due to lack of traffic. No sense having a couple of TG guys throw their money at something that's hardly used. It was a great run, and we all had a good time. I'd love to thank everyone that was part of our community. Cheers, Jimmy

    US3481 Private Hive Is Open!

    The Official Hive is currently down, and being that the DayZmod Dev Team has no control over the hive or it's data...we're at a loss when it comes to the question of "what comes next?". If at all possible, I will migrate the data into a private database, and reopen 3480 as a private hive that retains all of the old character data, it'd be a shame to lose it all. Over 39,000 unique connections were made to that server throughout it's second life. No clue how many from it's first life. I'd venture a guess over 50,000 players have played in 3480, but maybe it has had a long enough run. Only time will tell... Cheers, Jimmy
  5. I can remember more than one instance, Pwnoz0r, in which you personally replied to--and/or--fixed trouble tickets with my service with HFB. For that, I'd like to say cheers :beans: I would also like to mention that, although your efforts were in good faith, a lot of customers truly did get left hung out to dry. Your work to keep the company afloat are commendable for certain, but long-time clients such as myself and others within this thread were left without answers for countless weeks. Paying bills to HFB but getting no services in return, not even a reply to their tickets or cancellation requests. I don't hold you personally responsible, but I also expect it would be a long shot to expect anyone to have faith in you as of now. I mean that respectfully, and I do not mean it as a reflection on you personally--just the truth as I see it after this ordeal. Sorry it ended like this, because I think you were one of the few at HFB who knew what they were doing and cared enough to do it properly. I think the biggest hurdle will be the fact that many for HFB clients are feeling as though they had the wool pulled over their eyes, myself included. We paid hundreds of dollars out to HFB, then our service became intermittent. When the bills were due on HFB's side--our server would go down at no fault of our own. Then HFB would pay the bills to the datacenter and the service would come back up. Then HFB all but disappeared--and clients like myself put in cancellation & refund requests that not only were never completed...they were never even replied to. I've long since considered our money to be gone, but a reply with an explanation is what really burned the bridge. Again, this isn't directed to be a critique of your personal work, I know there were many factors at play. Just hoping to make our point respectfully, so moving forward your future endeavors are more fruitful for you. My main point is that the way the situation played out is what caused the uprising from the former HFB clients, not simply the fact that HFB died out. Clients like to see where their money is going, or at least have an explanation of what is happening when they aren't receiving what they pay for. That being said, you've always done good by me, when you were able to, and I appreciate that. Cheers, Jimmy edit: cleaned up typos and format

    What's with muzzle flash and smoke?

    It's tough when you rely on another game (ArmA in this case) for your weapons and configurations. Doing it all from scratch is a ton of work, especially when all of the work is essentially done for you, albeit not 100% correct. Not a lot of studios are going to bring in a weapons consultant to do things by the book, they'll do some research and come up with a product that looks good enough and suits their requirements for "realistic" weapons--even if true-to-spec would be best. Can't blame them, not every tiny detail is feasible to get done by the book. Cheers, Jimmy

    What's with muzzle flash and smoke?

    My profile photo is actually of me firing an M16A1 in full auto. You'll notice the flash and smoke are entirely manageable. A 5.56 weapon doesn't generate a whole lot of either when fired in daylight under normal conditions. That being said, the larger the caliber--the more grains of powder in each round. Weapons without muzzle breaks (mosin, shotguns, pistols, et. al) would have noticeably larger muzzle flashes and smoke plumes to deal with as the unburned powder and gas exits the muzzle all at once in the same direction, whereas your "assault" or "battle" rifles are designed to decrease these effects. Cheers, Jimmy edit: not sure if you can view the image in full enough detail, but you can see shell casings in the air in the photo as they are exiting the weapon. It was a photo snapped via cell phone a few years back. Below is a larger version:

    is us3480 dead?

    You don't need to connect with those launch options :) That is simply for people who are launching via .bat and would like to be dumped straight into the server. You could simply launch DayZ then use the Multiplayer option to search the server list and find US3480 (official) or US3481 (private). Feel free to shoot a PM if you need any help getting back into the server, it's very much alive. Cheers, Jimmy

    US3481 Private Hive Is Open!

    3480 and 3481 both up and running :) Glad to see there's still some [mod] survivors out there! Cheers, Jimmy
  11. Being that this is in the DayZmod section, I'll dangerously assume you are talking about the mod. Acting under that assumption, I'll cordially invite you all to play in US3480 (public hive) or US3481 (private) which are both adminned and have anticheat measures in place. 3480 has been forced to rebuild it's population since HFB died off and we lost the old server. There were 37,522 unique players who connected to US3480 before it's untimely death, so if we can get even a fraction of those players back I think you'll have plenty to play with, and in a fairly safe environment to boot. Cheers, Jimmy

    Fps fixes, none of them work.

    Hey mate, Just seeing as how you haven't posted any system specs, or the specifics of any steps you've tried--could I recommend a particular guide? This well-written DayZ FPS guide has a breakdown of a lot of settings, as well as the various commands you can for startup parameters etc.. I think it'd be worth reading over. Hell, even if you feel like you've tried everything it may have a few new ways of doing them that helps you out. It made a difference on my machine back when I did it! Cheers, Jimmy

    HP ProBook 450 , switching gpu problem.

    Sorry to hear you couldn't get this sorted. Maybe as of this reply you're up and running? Guess there is still some ground to cover before switchable graphics in notebooks is a viable option. Is there maybe any way you can set the BIOS to only use the GPU for graphics, rather than allowing your IGP to handle it? Cheers, Jimmy edit: did some poking around, and found this literature on HP's site. Not sure if it would be helpful, but maybe worth a read if you're still unable to play!
