Joe Whore checking in. Thanks for the compliments guys! I just got really bored over the weekend again and thought I'd have some fun with more DayZ concepts but this time in after effects! I should really come to these forums more often as I did help build and design this place back in the mod days... (edit: digging the new header!) Thanks for posting this DMentMan!

So I started working on a bunch of 3D models of foods and smaller items after Dean had asked the community for some. I currently have about 50 models done and 10 textures and I really would love your guys' feedback on this before I continue. Here's one of the models I'm close to finishing (ignore the obvious double pop top): I'm thinking of making 6 different quality conditions for each of the food items I'm working on 2 different models showing the item sealed / opened 3 textures of quality (Clean / Dusty / Rusted) Clean - Safe to eat Dusty - Low chance of illness after consuming Rusted - High chance of illness after consuming I'm thinking the "dusty" quality items would be most common while the "clean" version of an item would be a rare find. Now I know Tin/Aluminum doesn't rust but.. Dammit if it doesn't look cool! I'm not sure what we could do with opened items (be it a can, bag, etc..) Maybe a higher chance of illness / lower amount of hunger restored when consumed? Maybe other players can contaminate "opened" food with poison, pills, their own illness, etc, and leave it for another player to find? Bonus "twinkie": Some canned food (completely made from scratch): also have different qualities: as per requested: Here are some soda cans: A few bottles & containers: Candy! Sulahoops: Beer Bottles: (Snoww made an advertisement! Awesome!) Vodka!: 3/29/13 - Some new melee weapons / tools The Shovel Lug Wrench (Tire Iron) Maybe have melee weapons turn bloody after killing a player with it? Only the rough base model of the baseball bat. Finishing the "nailed bat" and "barbed wire bat" this weekend 2/20/13 - Finally got them working in-game! It's only a matter of time now...: I should have fixed my graphics settings before taking these (everything is on low) so I do apologize for that. These should give you some idea of the in-game look at least. Here is the normal (bottom left), nailed (top), and barbed wired (bottom right). I had some alpha issues but hopefully I'll be able to figure it out soon. But if anyone knows how to deal with the "ghost outlines" in arma 2 alpha textures, give me a holler! :) After I finish the admin food drive, I'll be texturing some "household" melee weapons and working on more interesting trash items like old stuffed animals, soggy boxes, crusty socks, etc., so we're not just finding empty cans all over the place. Thanks for all the support and feedback guys! I can't wait to share this loot with all of you :) old news: The result: I only have the one can at the moment but man... does it feel good having finally figured it out :)

Protip: Zeds are not your friends. Stay away from them, keep quiet and plan your looting routes accordingly.

And just a heads up, here's the message we received from Matt today (sunday): Hopefully Jan will pull through and get our steam release in time...

As of 2/6/2012: New concept design! Kept the window based inventory, used a more "Space Station 13" inspired design and fits a 1024 x 768 resolution imgur gallery Opened your Backpack Opened all clothing items Crafting Examining an item Checking out a body Thoughts! As of 1/20/2012: Here's a really shitty, buggy flash version of the interface that I will be updating as I go: So feel free to mess around with it and give me some delicious feedback http://joeflashedme..../dayzUIas2.html (give it a moment to load, didn't make a proper loader) Press "G" to access the gear menu, open the gear tab and mess around with it. You can press "R" to rotate the knife You can right click and open the backpack Checking your gear: While looting a corpse: Some constructive feedback from you all would be greatly appreciated! Q & A: It's not actually a button, it's just a tool tip. My thoughts on this were it would show up while dragging an oddly shaped item around, such as a hatchet, so that you could better position the item on your person (see how the hatchet fits on the player's belt in the second image) I'm not sure I see the problem? You could either drag an item into the "on the ground" area (the green box in the center) or outside of the opened backpack (the black area) and place the item on your body that way? Some users have suggested easier ways of identifying people in your party (via armbands). Colored or customized armbands, legbands, etc. would be a great way to help identify other players in your group. The alice pack has three smaller front pouches. So I broke off three smaller sections to represent them. I'm unfamiliar with the way STALKER does their inventory but the available backpack spaces layout would be unique to each backpack. It'll eventually be used to initiate a trade. Basically how it'll work is: - You'll drag any items you have on your character into the trade area - Those items will then be highlighted in blue in your gear menu - To allow the other player to grab an item from your person, you'll hit the blue trade button (toggling trade)

Well, at the very least I hope other community efforts (as well as my own attempt) on making the UI look pretty have inspired some 'functionality' decisions.

:( I'd like to see this "artwork"

I've been posting this in too many random places so here it is: A quickie update regarding the current status 1.7.7 for anyone who is curious: - We were told to wait for Dean to return before releasing any patches (unfortunately that was a 2 month wait) - In that time, the team decided to work on additional stuff to make up for the time we all had to wait - In the current 1.7.7 build, zeds got a bit fubared and the few active coders we have are working on fixing that asap. - ziellos2k and I are currently working on finishing up some new changes to the blood UI icon and that should be finished very soon. - After zeds are fixed (or before) we'll then have to wait for Dean to review the list of changes and approve / scrap anything we've added or changed. With SA alpha testing and E3 coming up, I have a feeling this may take even more time unless Dean can free up a few minutes to review the new change log.

Link for anyone still wondering http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/132982-new-patch-coming-soon-to-dayz/page__st__520#entry1343207

Yeah, that stuff got scrapped. No way should players be able to 'craft' their own silencers / scopes.

Regarding 1.7.7: - We were told to wait for Dean to return before releasing any patches (unfortunately that was a 2 month wait) - In that time, the team decided to work on additional stuff to make up for the time we all had to wait - In the current 1.7.7 build, zeds got a bit fubared and the few active coders we have are working on fixing that asap. - Marcel and I are working on finishing up some new changes to the blood UI icon and that should be finished very soon. - After zeds are fixed (or before) we'll then have to wait for Dean to review the list of changes and approve / scrap anything we've added or changed. With SA alpha testing and E3 coming up, I have a feeling this may take even more time unless Dean can free up a few minutes to review the new change log.

I think your assumption is dead-on. It was a more recent addition to the upcoming patch. I'd suggest having this new outdoor loot on a custom table. There's probably some stuff, when left outdoors, you wouldn't find in very good condition :P Edit: From another post of mine in the suggestion forum: A quickie update regarding 1.7.7 for anyone who's curious: - We were told to wait for Dean to return before releasing any patches (unfortunately that was a 2 month wait) - In that time, the team decided to work on additional stuff to make up for the time we all had to wait - In the current 1.7.7 build, zeds got a bit fubared and the few active coders we have are working on fixing that asap. - Marcel and I are working on finishing up some new changes to the blood UI icon and that should be finished very soon. - After zeds are fixed (or before) we'll then have to wait for Dean to review the list of changes and approve / scrap anything we've added or changed.

The buildings will still be non-enterable but loot can now be found outside and around these buildings.

Woah, thanks guys! Glad you're all diggin' my new journal / crafing design so far! It's still being developed but Horde and I are planning to get this baby up and running by the next release (not this upcoming monster release, unfortunately). I made the call to pull the current crafting system as I thought requiring players to first find "blueprints" to craft anything just didn't feel right. This new method should allow for some more 'creativity'. For the upcoming release, the stats box will still be replaced with this journal system though so look forward to that! Here is the full gallery of concept images: http://imgur.com/a/c5Zj6#0

Nope. The A2 engine scales textures in real-time.

I think it should be the only way to aquire the nailed / barbed wire versions. The ordinary baseball bat would take 1 - 3 hits to kill while the barbed & nailed would be instant kills (on zombies that is, just increased damage to other players)

Quick update, I should have fixed my graphics settings before taking these (everything is on low) so I do apologize for that. These should give you some idea of the in-game look at least. Here is the normal (bottom left), nailed (top), and barbed wired (bottom right). Had some alpha issues but hopefully I'll be able to figure it out soon. But if anyone knows how to deal with the "ghost outlines" in arma 2 alpha textures, give me a holler! :)

Mint covered in deep, deep, deep dark chocolate. I've been hard at work with new models (weapons, foods, tools, etc) Nothing too special to show at the moment The Shovel Lug Wrench (Tire Iron) Maybe have melee weapons turn bloody after killing a player with it? Only the rough base model of the baseball bat. Finishing the "nailed bat" and "barbed wire bat" this weekend sorry for the small image! I'll try and upload some better ones over the weekend

I really aught to be clarifying the misinformation in the forums and on Reddit but all day I've been... flabbergasted, really. In hindsight I should have put more effort into the change log description as most people had thought the full name would be displayed on the gear menu (It was for a few sodas but that's been fixed). I feel terrible that this issue has overshadowed all the other hard work the guys put into the patch. For now, I'll continue to finish the remaining models and textures of the forum moderators and will finish it there.

Ah yes, you're right there are a few others I can fix as well. The examples given above however only say "muffins" & "soup". I will limit names to the item description.

That's exactly how they are now?

I do appreciate the feedback from you guys. Sorry it offended so many of you. Feel free to address your concerns & suggestions in my thread with the new food models. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/121763-3d-model-different-food-qualities-215-update/
