I would go with reset, log quickly enough and wait, if you log back in and it's not there then it's a reset.

When radios are working they want to add in Internet Radio stations broadcast over in game radios on distinct channels. I'm sure they'll probably add in a 'numbers station' or some such. At the train yard I work at one of the channels on our radios picks up the National Weather Service which has a text to speech voice giving weather and surf information for many areas. Hopefully they'll have such a station tied in with dynamic weather that for some reason or another is still functioning (lets just say it's automated or whoever is doing it is still alive and has nothing else to do). '...LaRgE sToRm FrOnT dEteCtEd MoViNg In A NoRtH nOrTh WeStErLy DiReCtIoN oFf CoAsT oF cHeNrArUs...' ect ect,

Dean says he does not want 'dynamic' events, meaning real time heli crashes where you see the heli crash, or a cargo plane flying overhead to drop supplies, or a ship crashing on the shore. There will be no non-zombie NPCs (therefore no pilots). So any 'events' will just be the end result, the Helicopter will already be crashed in a field somewhere, a supply drop would be more 'the plane dropped from the sky when the infection happened and there's supplies around'.

There's a very helpful means of finding out why...scroll up, read the text in the green banner at the very top of the screen.

Rivers, Canals, Bridges: Survival Resource, Transport Medium, Natural Chokepoints

My understanding was he scraped the idea of putting the large prison on Utes because it just felt too 'forced', but that Utes itself was going to be in. -
Think they should add 'how to manuals' to the game to help along thous lines. If you find one and read it you have an easier time of doing whatever action it was for (Medical Journals, First Aid manuals, survival manuals, gun maintenance manuals, Owner's Manuals for vehicles).

Rivers, Canals, Bridges: Survival Resource, Transport Medium, Natural Chokepoints
IkaikaKekai replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in Suggestions
Well, there's a few spots that look like natural sites for rivers or streams, but don't think there'll be huge rivers, as much as quite a few people want don't think there'll be rivers big enough for boats to travel in to get to the center of the map. We'll probably have to wait for the 'Western' map Rocket wants to eventually do. -

From my understanding VBS3 isn't available commercially because it's so resource hungry. Hopefully they'll be able to implement rivers/streams in when they optimize the engine enough and find a way to 'dumb down' the river mechanic from VBS3 so it won't set high end gamer rigs on fire. -
Consolidated Weapons/Equipment suggestions
IkaikaKekai replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
A suggestion for MREs, you open it like a medkit or box and there's 3 food items and a drink mix included. After it's empty it becomes trash loot and can't place other items in it. Horders: That would be interesting, one or two random house/appartment/cabins (chosen at random) loaded with survivalist gear and a few weapons and some ammo. Maybe have 2-3 zombies in the home to act as the 'residents'. -
How To check if a server is 1pp only or not
IkaikaKekai replied to Happy-'s topic in New Player Discussion
In before the FLAMES! *runs around dancing Naked* -
This I would be more in favor of, for at least the Military weapons. You find a receiver, barrel, stock, ect ect till you have all the parts for said weapon, then find a special (and rare) crafting table where you assemble it, and even then you have a chance of creating a ruined/damaged gun from lack of experience. (Pliers + Bullet) + (Hammer + Nail) = 'gun', good luck with that one...

Chenarus isn't an island. And a bridge to a small island like Utes would only be viable really if it was as close as Skalisty.
-
This should be about the extent of player crafted guns. I'm against it overall.

So you just want to be a pain in the ass then and are willing to waste your life doing so.

Name weapons that should be in DayZ SA
IkaikaKekai replied to Grenadier36's topic in General Discussion
Alright screw it, I want a Taurus (Raging) Judge or a S&W Governor 3" chamber. .45 ACP .45 Longcolt .454 Casul and .410 bore. ACP and .410 for Zombies, LC and Casul for unfriendly players. Also want to be able to use .38 Special in the .357. -
I believe when more diseases are added in they'll have separate cures other than just 'antibiotics'. IE Scurvy can be cured with Vitamin C or eating fresh oranges. Common cold with cough syrup, ect. I looked up what the one injection bottle was online once just to see what it treats (forget what it was exactly, bi-sodium carbonate I think), so they've got the ideas in, just need to be patient.

Is this a possible hacker or no?
IkaikaKekai replied to Killroy6873's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Never heard of a Hacker using a lag switch on someone else... -
So you KNOW what you/your friend has to do but you don't want to do it because you think hope there might be another way?

Didn't mean 'flowing' as in you actually get pulled downriver, but that it'd look really awkward to have a bunch of 'lake' rectangles at different angles not always matching up, and I don't know if that would even work or not really. I SUMMON FORTH THE AMAZING HORSE TO BEQUEATH US THE APPROPRIATE VISUAL AID! There was a video linked somewhere of one of BIS' other projects where they had flowing rivers, but it was for an engine that's really heavy on resources and not available on the open market to buy. -

IkaikaKekai replied to Grenadier36's topic in General Discussion
I think the K98 is in the works, along with many other civilian weapons and a few military. They just focused on the Mosin, M4, FNX45, and magnum because they sort of represent each 'type' of weapon. They were suppose to have shotguns as well but they weren't working properly (will be in the next patch). They chose the M4 over the AK as the 'test' AR because the M4's a bit more famous for having attachments. My weapon of choice will either be the 10/22 or the SKS when they're added. -

My understanding is that flowing rivers that change altitudes is not easily done (at least currently) on the engine. That may change in the future as they make advancements on the code and optimization, but for now the only 'rivers' we can have will have to be dry, or the old cheat of 'sea level flat rivers'. -
Right now it's a bug, one with many known (and unknown) ways of causing it. I'd say find a good server and stick to it and you shouldn't have the problem (as often) as one of the ways is that you log out and onto another server so fast the main hive doesn't have the chance to save your data so you get restarted.

The very first kill. Do you remember yours?
IkaikaKekai replied to skoms's topic in General Discussion
Bit foggy on my first Mod kill (think it was a pitched Ax battle between me and someone else, just ran up on me and started swinging, I won even though he got the first hit), but my first Alpha kill I remember not so fondly. It was the first night of Alpha, I think I spawned in Novy and it was a night server. I had found a Mosin and some ammo for it. I have the thing shouldered and I'm walking around with my flashlight when I see two other flashlights. I hear, and I shit you not, 'RARW, I'M GONNA KILL YOU BITCH, IMMA KILL YOU BITCH, IMAKILLYAIMAKILLYABITCH, RARW!' and this idiot wearing just a motor helmet runs at me, actually runs into me and pushes me slightly, still with the flashlight equipped, no other visible weapon. I put away my flashlight and shoulder the mosin, *BLAM* *clickclick*, got him in the chest, shot a zombie that was near us, then aimed at his friend and killed him. Felt bad about that one, but he was hanging out with an idiot so... This part is a bit stragne though, I knelt down to see if the 2nd guy I killed had anything worthwhile on him, and the medkit I had just picked up before I ran into them was gone (not sure if it was lag or if the first guy wasn't so dead and grabbed it while I was trying to loot the other, couldn't find the first guy's body after that.) -
Camo tents should be rare. The majorty of them should be 'brightly colored' civilian models or tarps on poles.
