There is room only for one Horse in Chenarus, and he is Amazing. Where is he now? He's over in the Graveyard, grazing.

I like the idea about the animation for adding mods, not so sure about needing a screwdriver for all mods, (not that I'm against it for some). I thought most simple rail attachments (flashlight, laser, a simple sight such as a RDS) had simple 'thumb' screws on them that you could do with a screwdriver or with your fingers. Now for something like mounting a Scope on a hunting rifle or on the Mosin I would say yes it would need some sort of tool to add on/remove and require that animation.

First of all, as mentioned they have no way to enforce those rules in any meaningful way. Second, they CAN'T enforce such rules without risking their server getting taken away. Public servers (and that's ALL we have right now) have rules that they must follow or else (Must include game version in server name somewhere, No Anti-PVP rules, no mods, no passworded servers, ect)

You need Arma 2 Combined Ops (Arma2 Base game and Operation Arrowhead) and need to download DayZ mod through one of several means (I dunno whats the most popular way now, many people have been complaining about installing it via DayZ Commander but I don't pay attention)

DayZ Mod is older and the first incarnation of DayZ. DayZ Standalone is the continuation of the project picked up by Bohemia.

What I would probably wear around my camp (when they're added) and not scavenging would be a green tshirt, OD/green cargo pants, and a OD ballcap. *EDIT* Forgot to add thin rimmed glasses, but thats what I always wear given the chance.

Everything you 'suggested' with the exception of the Friend Indicator is in the works in some form or another.

Sniper: "Holy shit he fell for it!"

Well, just think about it. Server Restarts and you were in the middle of Electro or some other high value place. You thought you were alone and try logging in. You can't so you know there's someone nearby, so when you finally can log in you start looking for whoever it was. That in and of itself would be a form of ghosting wouldn't it? *EDIT* or even if you were with your friends and one of them crashes, now the party has to run 100m away and not get lost so their friend can join back in.

Sounds like it'd be more of a pain in the ass than a real measure.

The infection you got was not the zombie virus. It was something else (think they actually added two different types of infection to the mod but I stopped playing so I don't know). Just because your Immune to Zombie doesn't mean you're gonna be immune to Sepsis, Cholera, or whatever else the Devs have in store for us. Much as I hate to bring Walking Dead into this, you remember when everyone got sick because of one zombie? Same thing.

Never gonna happen. It's not only against the lore, The zombies are not undead, they are infected living, which is why non headshots will kill them, players are confirmed to be the few that are actually immune to the Virus. Other than that very little info has been released about the Virus itself, my theory is that it's an airborne mutation of Rabies without the 'time limit' of Rabies. Once you're dead, you're dead, no coming back. It would also cause problems on a technical aspect.

Shit...I want to try and build one of these now, really wish I could see the wheels they are using.

More than likely gonna happen. Just not going on right now because they need the bodies to despawn quickly. For removing clothing from them I don't think that's gonna happen, but other things might happen like in the mod (cans of food, sometimes ammo on soldiers or police).

There's so much in the way of rail travel. I work on a 3ft gauge railway, the crew jokes that we could just remove the tires and run on the rims of the golfcart we use to get around the yard and use it as a speeder (One of the old standard gauge railways on the Big Island simply replaced the wheels of a Studebaker with flanged wheels and welded the steering column in place and made an inspection car). Kinda wish I could see the wheels he's using but they don't need to be much to run on rails.

I'm not saying that duping isn't rampant, I'm just saying Battle Eye (which deals almost exclusively with hacks) isn't the way to go about dealing with glitches, finding how how they're done and patching them out is the way to do it. Want to help make a difference? Go to the bugtracker and Upvote glitches that dupe items, if you know how to do a few that aren't listed, put them in the Bug Tracker. Other than that it's sit and wait. *Edit* And think of it this way, when the children have their duping ability taken away from them, you'll be running circles around them and getting killshots because you were practicing with a single box of ammo whereas they learned pray and spray.

Well...it's not really BI/Dean that do battle eye. And I'd say right now, it's not caught by BE because think of it this way, duping is a glitch, intentional or not. Would you really wanna be banned for a glitch in an Alpha of a game? Especially when we are encouraged to try and break the game (as well as report the breaks and how we made them)?

Good luck with your ban/break.

Eventually... Not much points to mods right now, no private hives to have them on, and all public hive servers need to be vanilla. You'd 'break' a mod every time an update comes out. That and you'd also give the real hackers a tool to develop hacks. I mean yeah they'll make their own, but you'd just be handing them a tool in that case. They want things to be as secure as they can reasonably be before the start releasing files. That and I can just see all the redundant mods that would come out that do lazy shit like import stuff from the Mod (vehicles, tents, ect). 'I download dis mod and now i get de golba ban. I wan refund!!!1'

Big Mike:*holds up leather glove* "Alright 'Io Kai, tell me where the bandits are!" 'Io Kai: *lands on glove* "CAW!" Big Mike: "...Did not think this through..." Bandit 1 of 12: "I saw it go this way over the hill." Big Mike: "Well...fuck..." 'Io Kai: *flies off after a rabbit, never to be seen again* And you're pulling all this falconing experience out of what orifice of yours now?

Most fishing line would snap (the higher test lines would survive however). Rope and two sticks would make a garrote as well (and it's already in the game). I don't really think that COD style 'press R3 for instant kill' fits in with DayZ, and I can't see anyway to make a strangle weapon being anything else with the current system.

If it's the spot you pointed to on the map, it's been mentioned before. Don't think it's a town per say, but rather an extension of NEAF. Checked DayZDB's maps (Both mod and SA) It's new to the SA but it's been in for a couple of patches at least. In the mod there was just a dirt road leading up to there that ended at a shed. Since there's very little at NEAF in the way of buildings I'd say that's where the actual barracks are, and to keep the airfield itself clear because (at least according to Arma2 Lore) NEAF is a 'practice' field where paratroopers would train.

You only hide the body when they have something worth looting. This one needs to fester in the sun a bit.
