Played tonight until about an hour after night fall, very overclouded and black as night. Maybe when the Moon comes up and the storm dies it will be playable but as it is, a pair of NVG's would come in handy :ph34r: ! - 4 GMT is about right I believe. Thanks.

Quick, go look at Rocket's new Topic.... http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/93317-private-hive-dayzmod-integration-project/

Now that's what I call good development practice. I've always been a modding community guy and have supported independant developers. Things can only get better.... :thumbsup:

Setting the time to gmt -6 or something might be a good idea, however some people (myself included) do like playing at night. Might have to go to the Polls on this one.

Everest? There are no beans up there. Alice_Packs will do the job and save the DayZ.

It was as bright as a Full Moon night with clear weather,,, until the Storm came, then it was,,, not so bright, overcast, wet and windy. If you have set the date to a full moon phase, try setting + or - by a couple of DayZ. If not, try increasing fog /cloud a little. The only script I have seen can be found here... http://forums.bistud...-Weather-Script I doubt that it will be of any use in this case but its interesting to know that it exsists. Q : "Is it to bright?" A : a little. The night Stalkers may not be to happy but if there were fewer players at night time before, then they (The Night Stalkers) will just have to deal with it. We were 3 in the evening and later just two of us came back in to test the MooonZ. Thanks for trying it out, have some more :beans:

Will do...

OK, thanks for the answers. As for the clear moon, in a normal mission it would perhaps be set in a weather script. To be quite honest, I've absolutly no idea how that would effect the relation with \time/ in DayZ. Somebody, somewhere, knows how to do it. Not I.

The pleasure is all mine, I have spent a couple of hours on your/the server already. The reason I ask about the Moon phase is because the guys I play with can only be on-line in the evening and asked me to find a good Server with more vehicles and less troublesome players (Hackers/scriptykids) and Full MooonZ. I admit that a clear night does change to a certain degree the play style but,,,, not a lot :D. Easy enough to implement and would pretty much guarantee a better evening time player count. Another question I would like to ask is about Server restarts, are they as nesecerry on a local Hive as in the Official DB build ? If so, are they at a fixed time and on a regular basis ? Thanks. Have some :beans:

Voted YES. Small Mods like Roco Faces, which will enhance the game without changing the base gameplay, I think are worth while. Anybody who takes the time to install a mod or two will more than likely stay loyal to the server, even more so than now. Full Moon ? I am lucky enough to have the time to play in the day, the two or three guys that play with me are not so lucky and can only play in the evenings. Thanks.

Heli crash sites for NVG's,,, at night :thumbsup: A bit risky but has the best results as far as I'm concerned. Tents, any medium spawn point. (I found one in the apartments in Cherno last night). ATV/Quad, comes with a tent 2 cans of BeanZ and 5 heat packs. Range Finder, barracks at Novy Sobor + 24 slot Coyote Backpack.

Moved.

You are Legend. Nice story.

Message sent to OP. Thread remains locked.

If the Server fails to fetch the data from the Hive DB tents and vehicles will not load. Happens even on the most well administrated servers. A more recent discussion on the subject. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/89200-tent-mechanics-please-clarify/

If you have nothing worthwhile to add to this much appricated effort,,, Do not Post. controller... for dayz... noob shit. adds nothing of relevance to the Topic and may be considered as SPAM. Spamming a Thread may result in Sanctions.

Know your time zone + look for a server with your time zone - 6/4. When I started playing the only way for myself to play was to join a US server. Things have changed since.

It is in the wrong place and very old. READ this, please. http://dayzmod.com/f...ng-a-new-topic/

Merged a few "How to Install" Topics. The Guides are in the STICKIES guys. 4 different Threads with 2 replys are worth nothing. One Topic will with many useful posts is worth its weight in BeanZ.

Vet ArmA player here. Firstly, you do not need Steam to launch ArmA, DayZ or any other combination of mods, unless you are dependant on your Steam friends to play the game. Here is the long time recommended method and guide to using different mods with OFP, ArmA and ArmAII. http://www.armaholic.com/plug.php?e=faq&q=18 For Steam users : http://www.armaholic.com/plug.php?e=faq&q=105 Commander, DayZ Install Tool are specific to DayZ. If you are more interested in keeping a clean ArmAII build I recommend using the above method. 6 Updater is a different beast and independent of the above Tools which comes into its own when joining different Servers with assorted modifications. I use AlpineStars ArmAII Launcher. Might help, might not.

Moved to correct Forum.

Welcome. I would like to use this oppotunity to ask you to Read the STICKIES and make good use of the SEARCH function. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/12190-read-this-before-starting-a-new-topic/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10051-index-of-helpful-threads/ Now we have that out of the way, if you look at the first Post in the latest DayZ build you will see that the debug monitor is broken. Also, knife, axe and matches + runny babbit will keep you alive. When I start out on a looting mission I pack 3 cooked steaks, one in the inventory and two in my backpack, because them Infected keep on hitting me, without reason. And before you ask, Yes tents do work, it's a bit hit or miss but the basics work, now & again. Thanks.

"How many times have you said something similar? Three? Four? I've lost count. It must get boring." Occupational Hazard. The DayZ Mod, Forums and a large percentage of the Customers are all in Alpha build I'm afraid. Lets hope that things get better when Teh Game is released. Thanks.
