I smell a necromancer...but I'll pop a suggestion into this since its here. For standalone, armed hueys would be rare, maybe have a 'civilian' model or two, but mostly have Russian/Soviet helis that would make sense for Chenarus. In the 'vehicle customizeation' or whatever its going to be called, have the option of mounting weapons onto helicopters (from an AKM with a bipod or something to the heavier machine guns that will be in the game)

Can NO ONE Drive at all or is this one of thous maps where the roads are made of soap?

Oh, maybe I'm confusing my WW2 movies. Was pretty sure at one point in Windtalkers basically the same thing happens, mortar goes off in the tube instead of launching, Banzai charge happens and they hit the shells on a rock and throw them like grenades.

If your talking about Windtalkers, yes I've seen that, thous are older and lighter mortars, probably 40mm or a compact 60mm. Today's mortars range from 60mm to 120mm (pretty sure the russians/soviets used 81-120mm motars) and aren't the 'grenade with fins' that the old ones were. Hell the old Japanese Ni mortar (which led to a few dumbass Marines breaking their legs when the put the baseplates on their knees to fire) is considered a 'grenade discharger' and was pretty small.

I didn't mean add paper/coin money as the ingame currency, I ment just adding it in as another item as the OP suggested, something you can throw to distract zombies, maybe be able to craft a simple perimeter alarm with a tin can, string and some coins, or as I suggested, a way of getting canned soda or whatever out of vending machines without smashing them open and attracting zombies (A soft *thudthudThud* vs *CRASHclangclangclang*). Make them devalued as well, every zombie would have like a couple Euros/Rupules/Dollars/whatever on them so using them as player to player trading currency would be a moot point or it'd be like buying things in Zimbabwe Dollars (Or whatever South African nation printed so much money that a billion dollars is only worth like 50 cents).

You do know Mortars used now a days are pretty heavy right? Not only heavier but with a blast radius larger than your average grenade WITH an irregular flight pattern. That and you have to hit the firing pin at the BOTTOM of the mortar with something, otherwise your just throwing a big heavy peice of metal. You don't know how a mortar really works do you? A mortar is not a clip fed item, nor is it something that you just keep a shell in the mortar. You set up the mortar tube, adjust it for where you want to land (which for most of us would be more or less guesswork without some kind of spotter). Drop the shell in and it goes off.

It's kinda glitchy, helicopters won't update the 'status' bars till its fully repaired

If theres a building, it will have zombies spawn in/outside of it. I think the only execration is the very large warehouses (the one near Stary comes to mind as an example, theres a couple around that are isolated though and there are usually other buildings nearby) I would advise against thouse because people usualy check them for vehicle spawns (I belive a bus spawns in one) and its realtively hard to secure (theres like 2 or 3 doorways, gaps in the wall where someone can shoot into, and one or two stairs that lead into the catwalks above). Unless your out int he woods away from all buildings zombies will spawn, even something as simple as a shack will have 2-3 zombies spawning nearby. I believe sandbags stop zombies (not 100% sure) better than catwire does. Any camp will more than likely be found (I have a pretty good camp set up in the woods, surrounded by hills and forest with a clearing big enough for a helicopter whenever I get one. Lotta game nearby to hunt, only thing I wish I had was a nearby source of water, its been found a couple of times and looted, I stayed in the same spot however since I didnt have anything of high enough value other than a van that went missing.

I was about to yell at you about Rocket not wanting currency in the game. This I could see working, maybe also add using coins to get things from vending machines if they add them in? (I believe that's a real life survival tip as well, keep about $5 in quarters in case you come across an operable vending machine and dont want to simply smash the cover and make a lot of noise)

Low and slow, mostly advice for zombies though, that or just run from industrial building to industrial building till you find an ax.. Might want to be careful with that recorded gunfire, more likely to get shot at by non bandits IMO.

Looks like I picked a VERY good day to be busy doing other stuff today.

considering he also mentioned rolling papers, he probably meant a 'tabbaco' pipe, which i HIGHLY (pun not intended, stop laughing man the cops are behind you checking your stash!) doubt there would be any DayZ brand offical bong or hooka...if you live in Hawaii I know a company that does their own glass blowing (they do some AWESOME pieces theres this one where the bubbler is a octopus, and the tips of the tenticles are the vent holes, all submerged and it looks cool as hell, and thats coming from a non stoner). PM me and I'll give you his website. EDIT also theres a shitton of zombie stuff already out there on sites like thinkgeek, just not DayZ brand stuff (there's a company that sells red and green energy drink in blood bags)

Appeal to Battle Eye, no one here can help you. Pretty sure NONE of us work for BE.

Maybe with some work (non automated), YES, maybe, No..., no, yes, yes, yes, yes, maybe..., maybe?, yes, no there's no power, no for same reason, pretty sure its been confirmed (no images yet), think it was on the 'to do' list, yes, yes, yes, what?, we kinda can already, not gonna happen, yes (I'd keep one bullet or a grenade for myself in real life in this kind of situation), elaborate, think you can in standalone, think Rocket was toying with this for stand alone, think Rocket's pretty much said no, yes, Id like that, Id like that but the 'censors' might not, FUCK YEAH, yes to being able to do that no to that being the only way, pretty much confirmed in the last video, don't think it'd be very realistic and a bit too COD-ish, hmm, yes, not sure, maybe, maybe, maybe, we have that now i think, think it will be possible in stand alone to 'duck tape' (for lack of a better phrase) flashlights to guns, id be for this, magazines and ammo will be separate items in stand alone, yes, yes, yes, yes, are there golf courses here? some kind of sword yes, yes, that would be lovely, yes, and pretty much confirmed for stand alone.

Could they perhaps run something like this with the chopper crashes? Instead of crashes just 'spawning' they actually fly in, are visible, and crash (for whatever reason, pilot/crew succumbs to the infection and takes out everyone else for example, or a player manages to shoot it down before it gets to its 'preset' crash site). Anyone lucky enough to be in the area when it happens has more of a 'hint' to where the crash is. Even if the heli passes them going 200kmh and disappear on the horizon they got a general direction of where to look. Or if they add radios anyone in range would hear a static mayday call shortly before the crash. It would make more sense now that crashes don't spawn on restart.

Zombies and loot will spawn at server start in standalone (as well as respawns)

Its a little weird, it kinda depends on the tree more than being in a 'forest'. For some reason pine trees wouldnt work but almost any other tree did, and sometimes pine trees would work as well.

There's some pretty high powered pellet/air rifles round. (I believe there's one that uses .22 pellets and gets up to 'lethal' speeds, don't have a brand name on me) If they added say a hunting pellet gun (one I just mentioned) rather than a 'soda cans on the back fence' bb gun along with a few perks (can craft ammo from scrap metal easily, silenced) I could see a use for it in standalone (a survivalist's/hunter's gun).

Well other than going into these Scripter's houses in the night, dragging them into the street, decapitating them, and setting all their hard drives on fire, not really much that can be done to stop them. Of course I doubt these people are legitimate. Considering how many 'hey i gut bannd an the guy sed i woulnt get band with dez hackz, help me' threads, their probably just CC number fishers/scam artists, in which case, I'm conflicted. What their doing is wrong, but their stealing from people who also do wrong.

Exactly, its not how it works. It took living HUMANs back then to get air raid alerts and sirens up. Ranging from the simple guy sitting in a tower looking out for airplanes and cranking a siren when he saw them, to a radar instillation keeping an eye on the skies, making sure that thous dots on the screen weren't just a group of B17s returning from a night of bombing before making a call to someone to crank the air raid siren. To the OP, anything automated would have run down or lost power by now. And I doubt that researchers would have had time to develop 'zombie detectors' before everything went to shit, much less be able to install it in a backwater like Chenarus. People suggest all the time automated things, automated trains, automated buses, automated bombers dropping nukes, automated zombie warning sirens. And to be honest, probably the only reason why the church bells are still going in game is because its programming left over from ARMA that no one's bothered/had time to remove. /rant TL:DR = No automated sirens letting people know about zombies, the noise of the horde should be enough, if not, pay more attention next time and you wont be cowering in a porta-potty waiting for the horde of 100 zombies to pass you by.

It'd be difficult to pull off. And honestly there isn't really a 'system' to take control of. In America you have CTC systems, control towers, hubs, ect. Chenarus only has one mainline, spur tracks, industrial branches, one or two 'yards', and a couple of sidings. Unless you have people actively patrolling the tracks (and even then, no garente) you'll have bandits setting up tank traps on the right of way or some other form of sabotage (a 'stick' bigger than 2" in diameter can derail a 45 ton loco if its placed right). It would be lovely if we could repair a loco and the tracks, but it'd be too hard to control completely. It'd be something you repair so you could get from point A to point B, load up a bunch of crap and move on to Point C to unload said crap. If it does get added, something like sniping/killing the driver would make it a runaway train (at least for a mile or so, not sure what 'Dead Man' switches Russian Railroads have)

Curious as to how it would work honestly. Not that I want it, also peripheral dots are being removed (I think). Like how would the camera store pictures that you could access it? Would it lag out the server? Whats stopping me from shooting the thing strapped to a tree to destroy it, and get rid of any evidence of who was there? Ect.

Adding other ways to start fires would be acceptable to not having as many matches. (So many ways I don't even want to try and list them, but we always got the good ole 'Two sticks' trick, or say a battery and some wiring on kindling)

Don't remember the movie very well, but thought he was just coating the bullets with wax so that when they don't deform instantly when they hit the water and lose like 90% of their energy?
