    Camera Pathing?

    Not possible to legitly do in SA, which is why The Musty Man himself has posted a guide on how to do it in Arma3, which is what most, if not all Youtubers do for their videos.

    Extra Handcuff Uses

    Not sure about capturing zeds and 'leashing' players to yourself or others (game physics get kind of wonky when you tether one object to another and try to move, and who has 'control' when cuffed? And keep in mind you now have someone with one hand free who's probably a bit angry at you tied to you), but being able to use handcuffs to lock a gate would be another use. Though I can see it now. Two guys handcuffed together in the middle of cherno and the naked one says, "Hey, bro, you got any handcuff keys or a saw? This guy went AFK 20 mins ago. That or just kill this asshole, he's got two LRSs."

    Surplus Wehrmacht uniforms/helmets

    Well...technically speaking it's the end of the world, and I've got an arm full of fake rolexes, which I will probably dump after I get tired of lugging those rolexes around.. Right now we've only got a handful of what I think are the intended items they want to add. Personally I believe in trigger discipline and would rather have a semi auto than a barely controllable spray and pray. Old uniforms are nice and all but considering the loot system as it is now we'd be finding Wehrmacht unis in train stations and delis rather than in an attic next to Grandpa Sergei's pickled Nazi head with his bayonet still stuck in the eye socket. Most of that is either memorabilia or it would simply not be cost effective to make 'new' uniforms/equipment to simply not be like the Soviets. You just rip off the flag patches and insignia and sew on new ones (if you're an army, not a collector). Now if there was a movie set or studio of some kind, I could see these replicas spawn in there. But this is a gripe i have mostly with the 'logic' of the loot system and the realistic condition most of the war trophies and non replicas would be in. That's something I'm afraid of too. But trolls will be trolls regardless of what uniform they wear. All in all I'd have to say WW2 (non Soviet) military uniforms should wait for a WW2 SA mod. And I will probably have this mod when it comes out.

    haven't seen a police car since 0.49

    I think police cars have been turned into 'heli crashes' and have random spawn points now. May be wrong.

    Surplus Wehrmacht uniforms/helmets

    Not at all, though when the layman sees the 'generic' German soldier from that era the automatic response is 'omg nazi'. Some believed in the 'cause', others did not. My main point was that with the hostility the Soviets (and their modern day equivalents) have towards Nazis, why would they keep a bunch of their uniforms around unless it was really cold or they were out of dish rags or toilet paper? And that aside this would be a (mostly) cosmetic item. I can't imagine that these would be that much warmer, that grey would kinda stick out like a sore thumb. The camo does sort of look cool but would you take an old, moth eaten uniform that probably has bloodstains and a knife hole where the heart would be over earth tone civi clothing or modern military camo unless your doing roleplay?

    Surplus Wehrmacht uniforms/helmets

    Would clothing that old still be viable? I mean if it was in storage it might, but since we can't root around in boxes and such (yet) would we really find Nazi Memorabilia (or more likely to avoid German laws Wehrmacht stuff sans swastikas) just lying around the homes of Chenarus? I mean a gun is one thing, you can use a nazi's gun for anything. A nazi uniform you can pretty much only use for dress-up.

    complete noob to online game

    And people wonder why they're freezing in the first 10 mins of respawn. Take off your shirt only if you need to/are bleeding. It helps provide a minuscule amount of protection as well compared to no shirt (but hey, it's better than nothing). I keep my flashlights but I make sure I put the battery in them first thing.

    complete noob to online game

    Don't buy it, or buy it and let it sit in your Steam account if you want the discounted price. I have a feeling your expecting a finished game, DayZ is anything but.

    New Derringer Shown!

    Considering that the intended range of the target was a poker table. You're not gonna be sniping with this thing and you're not gonna be hunting with this unless it's all you have and it's a cow that's standing right there looking at you with its sad...sad eyes...

    Zombie Classification

    Living infected, so 28 days/weeks zombies. They definitely aren't Jiangshi or Draugers. Don't think they'ed fall under Revenants either. They aren't simply Drugged and Brainwashed, so they aren't Zombie zombies, which are only dangerous if they got brain damaged before being exhumed.

    How Devs Can Fix FPS!

    You should probably remove your fiend's email address from a public forum, unless he wants to spend the next few days unsubscribing from a bunch of crap and spam.

    Non Lethal Ammo For Shotguns

    Maybe not make shells outright, but they're fairly easy to 'mod' existing shells. In most shells the casing is just paper or plastic that's crimped down in the front to keep the load in, and the powder load is isolated from the 'payload' itself, so you use your fingers or a small knife/tool to uncrimp the shell, dump out the buckshot/birdshot, pour rocksalt or fit some rubber slugs into the hull and crimp it back again. People have tried 'custom' payloads for shotgun shells (One vid I've seen the guy basically just made plastic sabots and stuffed a bolt into the shell)

    New Derringer Shown!

    Could be some kind of Cathedral, in the back near the catacombs or some such, and there's no real 'features' to tell yet, that's 'alpha' grey as one might call it. From those doorways I'd say it's military unless they're going to 'plug in' a more fitting model in the doorways. They can always add in small details later, such as overhead pipes/wiring, wall sconces/torches, ect. *edit* It's a gun that doesn't need a mag that gives me TWO shots instead of one chambered shot before needing to dig around in my pack and reload. That's two zombies I can put down to give me time to reload to deal with the swarm that's coming my way, and that's assuming you don't Black Beard it and carry multiple loaded derringers.

    New Derringer Shown!

    On the topic of the building itself. Looks more like an older church or other type of building, or a bunker. Look at the arches in that hall above the zombie, and the walls look thick as hell suggesting either concrete or stone work.

    Suggestion: randomised spawn clothing sets.

    Don't really know about this. People would just kill themselves till they get TTSKO gear or some other unfair advantage. Now if it was randomized among similar clothing (2 slot pants and no slot shirts) that'd be something else, IE track pants and a tank top or something similar. But honestly starter clothing ins't that important as more than likely find better clothing shortly.

    Poisoning water supplies

    This has been confirmed as something that WILL be added in. All surface water should be purified before consumption anyway (while most animals do not piss and shit in their drinking water directly, they do piss and shit nearby, and of course after a heavy rain that washes into the water source), and the team has mentioned the possibility to contaminate water sources deliberately, weather it's taking a dump in the lake when you have cholera, or tossing a dead body into the lake

    When do you demand Vehicles?

    I am rather curious as to what this 'command variant' looks like. I tried googleing it and mostly what I saw were 'pannel van' style backs with windows. Then again I suppose if you put a radio and a table for a map in the back that's a command variant too.

    LifeStraw

    Has been suggested before. Still for it. They would have more than likely been in aid packages if not bought by hunters (they're about $20 retail) for use in the wild. I think the same company makes 'family' sized units that filter something like 100,000 liters before you need to clean/replace the filter. There's 'cheaper' ways to clean water, but this would be good for when you don't want to carry around a camp stove or fireplace kit and a pot to boil water.

    *rubs VS3 lovingly* My Precious...soon my Precious. *Clears throat* Er, I thought Bikes were gonna be in first, and right now they just had the model for the VS3 variant going well, not the mechanics yet. I mean they still have to get the fuel system worked out too right?

    Another Firearms Wishlist

    Not saying there should be a Garand in every home, and not gonna pretend I know what weapons are readily avaible in Russia and the Post Soviets, but it is possible for the weapon to be there. "Oh...yes...thank you for weapons..." *turns to quartermaster* "<Go dump these in a lake or something. Wait, give it to the Idiots in Cherogrosk, if anything they can sell it to the Takis like they did the Enfields we got last week.>" Maybe I am a bit biased since I like the Garand and prefer anything with wood grain and a mag size that encourages you to actually AIM instead of spray.

    Another Firearms Wishlist

    Why not? They were both Available to the Russians at one point. I would say Lend Lease, they sent over some M1s right? I just hope they actually add the 30-6 version and not the Navy 7.62 NATO version, otherwise what'd be the point?

    Just some Ideas about Hypothermia

    This is the Standalone we're talking about, not the mod. SA always required a fireplace kit (sticks+rags/paper). The fireplace kit also requires wood to be attached to it and you use matches to try and get it going. You can also attach stones to fireplace kits but I'm not quite sure what that does.

    some ideas for trading/cash

    I think money should be an ingame item, but it should only be what we value it to be. IE it won't be just something we could trade with, you could use paper money as crafting material. IE a stack of 3 notes + stick = kindling. Change + empty can = 'noise grenade' for distracting zombies or 'noise grenade' + string = sound tripwire. Even able to make 'coin shot' with shotgun shells. I think they were working on some sort of 'trade window' but of course it's a low priority right now. IMO it's a little immersion breaking but hey, it's a friggen game. Till we're in holodecks there's gonna be a certain level of immersion breakage.

    Craftable Draisine

    My statement still stands, unless you have the right parts* and/or a machine shop building one from scratch would be a waste of time. *a lighter alternative to using wheelsets would be to use the tireless wheels of a car, could even use the entire axle as MOST cars/trucks wheel base are about the same size as standard gauge (US is 4'8.5", I think Russia/Eastern Europe is around 5' or so but either would 'fit'). Biggest problem in that case would be wheel slippage and you would still need to attach a gear or some other system to actually drive it. In WW2 the GIs took a Jeep, replaced the road wheels and with flanged wheels and welded hooks to the front and end to 'couple' with the euro wagons. The jeep was strong enough to pull at least one box car, possibly more and was used as a 'switcher'. A velocipede (one example shown bellow) would be easier to make from scratch, and I think there are even commercial kits available to make one from a bicycle.
