I've camped in the center factory in cherno for about an hour, got 4 kills. Two of them where from the same SOB who decided to camp on top of the factory overlooking the military camp. I shot hit once with the enfield and he was killed. I then noticed he kept re-spawning which in turn alerted me that he wanted to spawn close to Cherno, possibly for revenge. whatever, since I was not compromised I waited. 10 Minutes passed and guess who decided to b line straight to their prior dead body? (won't point fingers) But this little dumbass thought it was safe for him to come back to his dead body on the roof expecting saftey. He guessed wrong. I killed him again this time with a few more shots. Later he disconnected. (server jumping?) Long story short, I waiting 10m then decided to check out his body. Looks like this douce had an ak kobra with 2 mags, m1911 3 mags, alice pack, and the whole 9 yards with map, compass. etc. I don't blame him, but come on at least use your brain next time!

hell IF I lived there, I'd be out on the streets looking for more. I'm such a zombie nut, I'd help spread the virus as much as I can.

Thanks for the support guys! I will add this to the post as soon as I can. I'm backed up with editing and other work in my daily life so I'll get to it as soon as I can.

Forgive me if I am re-posting or in just an inappropriate area. I have done some searching and have yet to find such questions. From one zombie lover to another I love everything done with Dayz, I enjoy the MP play like no other. However making a Zombie Campaign has been my dream with arma, but before Day z it was not possible to have such a stable mod(compared to earlier concepts). My question is: would there be a way to only port the Zombies, sfx, and animations into a SP or COOP campaign? Before Dayz there was some very buggy, lightly worked on Zombie mod. With this mod it allowed us to add zombies with the editor and such, What I am trying to make is a Zombie Campaign with Day Z animations, sfx, and zombie faction (models) that I can make with scripts, and the a2 in game editor. I have some "light" script knowledge and am almost certainly sure scripts will have to be used in order to port it correctly. However playing around by moving the files into my mission directly is not working.. Any ideas?

Well my reason for this was to create a story behind the apocalypse. I have many ideas & scenarios and would love to jam pack them into a campaign. Also as an independent filmmaker this would defiantly help my next feature with the whole creative writing process. It won't be the same as DayZ, since I'm only looking for a stable Zombie mod complete with stable animations, sound effects, and textures. I know the Dev Team has plans for a story and mission integration in the future so therefor I have another story in mind and am not looking to write the Day Z Story. The current Zombie mod that was released for Arma 2 is unstable and no where near as good as DayZ. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to use the unstable mod until DayZ is complete.

free or not I'll pay. (one time fee, plz no subscription BS) Maybe even a system like APB? free to play, but pay $ for some extra cool stuff (mainly customization) Hell with all the players and attention I'm surprised the Dev team doesn't have some sort of Ad Revenue, They'd roll in some $ for it!

going from 10k view distance to 5k usually helps, but also driving in First Person solves it completely?

The only thing I was doing new was using FRAPS at the time, other then that I am unsure why I got this battleeye error. I was also using a G510 keyboard with a FRAPS app running in the built in window, could that be the reason? EDIT: UPDATE just signed on and looks like most, if not, all players got the same error. It occurred when a player crashed their MI-8 roughly around 12:50am est on the US1 server.

getting banned for shooting someone shall not and is not against the rules. Those that use their admin powers to hide behind shall not be respected in any way. Thanks for the heads up. I will keep my eye out for them and see if I get the same result with a ban if I shoot them. If that is the true case, I recommend a SHOOT ON SIGHT warrant for any legion member also a boycott on all their servers..

cool never knew what it meant.

jumping in late, have not gotten to read all the threads so forgive me if this has been brought up before, BUT. The devs have already been working on such missions. unpbo the files and see for yourself. We can expect missions working with doctors, cell phone integration (main use of comm?) and radiation will play a big part. in time we will see this mod evolve to a level of much more complexity.

well how about Ovaron? Huge map and every building is open. Very similar to chernarus http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=10839

Date/Time: 4/26/2012 1500est What happened: Every time I connect to a server the game loads to my character in the middle of nowhere, no map texture either, and I see character models standing all around. Where you were: In woods outside of zelenogorsk. What you were doing: I killed a bandit in the woods. Immediately after I got a message: Character Loading Data, (or something similar) Possibly because my humanity was low. 1.4.11 9pm-11pm EST US1 Server -Current installed version: 1.4.11 -system specs: Foxconn AM3 A9DA-S phenom 2 x4 980 3.7ghz - 4.3oc'd 8g ddr3 g-skill memory 2tb 1+1 WD 7200 HDD HD radeon 6670 Corsair tx650 COOLER MASTER HAF 912 win 7 x86 -Timeline Ran into bandit in woods, killed him, then was forced to disconnect after non stop character loading data message. Did not sign back on until 1500 est 4/26/2012

lol I'll need to update the guide with one of my own noobish mistakes...

Very well said Freyar. To be honest a demo wasn't enough for me so 2 hours later I drove down to the store and bought it. This is the one game that is worth every penny in my book. This is the time where you will have to suck it up. I know what your feeling, but hang in there and you will get it. Also even if you have it now, because of the popularity just trying to get on a server sucks at the moment.

downloading Arma 2 will work but it wont. To prevent piracy there is a tool that will fuck up your aim to make it impossible to hit anything. Sorry, but your going to have to pay to play. ..speaking of money what are your system specs? Depending on your specs you may have to upgrade.

I'm currently building one, but have some unanswered questions. I know you can build a server with a lower end pc. In that case what will I have to look for while trying to keep the cost down with a Budget of $500? For a 50 slot server what are the requirements in ram and CPU?

same here I died twice and still not able to do anything but end task

c:>program files>Bohemia Interactive>arma 2> @DayZ > Addons> be sure to make a new folder with the exact words @DayZ, then make another folder called Addons, finally place the downloaded files here

very well said oktyabr. Games are meant to be fun and exciting. Arma 2 is a military simulator. In short it's a game at where players kill AI or other payers. If you don't like dying, either, survive by using caution and or avoiding high traffic areas, or just don't play at all.

thank you all for your helpful input! I have added your tips in the guide and for Oktyabr, you now have your own section!

The word is that its a guy in like a turban' date=' german sf skin sort of. [/quote'] hmm been busy today and have not had a chance to play. So you mean the ACR skins = Bandits?

wildlife=yes, zombies=no. As how the mod is already set I believe its just fine.. I've seen quite a few zombies strolling around the out skirts of towns. Especially at extreme ranges.

Well English translations will impede on the realism. I don't personally agree with it. Unless there is an Amerian Island or UK Island, but other than that no. As for mile markers I'm not too sure if they use that system overseas. I live in the US so the metric system here is different. If there are Markers, they would most likely be in KM, however I have yet to seen any. Even in over seas.

Seems to me that it would be just a Rare item for the fun of things or a way to add a rare collection. I've seen only 1 before and that was blind luck at the time. I personally like the coke cans, as I love coke!
