I can only guess here since I haven't made a custom map, but it's an educated guess: Other maps have to update before any changes from 1.7.5.1 carry over. The reason for this is that they provide their own copies of the files DayZ updates with every version, even modifies them to achieve the changes between the different maps (e.g. the way refueling works in Lingor). So the process for them would be to grab the new versions of the files, if they have made modifications to a file in the past they have to redo the changes (though not all of it by manual labpr) to that file again. Make sure their other modifications dont create any conflicts, then package the result as the new version of the map. If I'm wrong, someone else feel free to correct me.

It works much better in the next version. Patience ;)

*cough* *points at avatar* There were many problems with the way structures are implemented in Star Wars Galaxies. There was indeed cluttering, an elaborate system that decides where a player can build structures and where he can't, abandoned houses remaining for years until SOE added the pack-up-all-your-shit feature in vanilla, I could go on. Character limits to restrict how many houses players can have, and a lot of abuse of that restriction. Not to even begin with all the technical things they did wrong *shakes head in misery*

No, that one is part of a bigger problem. The entire vehicle system needs a little bit of clean-up and the leaking helis will be fixed along with that. I was told it's next on the agenda, though. But since I'm not involved anymore than a few minutes of helping test a hotfix, I wouldn't be able to tell you whether they plan to release .2 right away or wait until other things are fixed, too. All I can say is it played a lot better than .1, while still being difficult - we died numerous times :D

I always felt a few spawn points should be in little towns next to abandoned houses. Like your character had barricaded themselves in the basement of a house, but now that supplies have run out they have to get out. But, we'll see.

Fixed properly in the new hotfix.

It's fixed in the new version, coming hopefully soon ;)

They did show us in the latest video that they added the entirety of Utes to the southern end. So, hopefully, they'll add more inland land mass aswell. *EDIT: I was too slow :(

Depends on how much you want to invest. Without looking up each and every component of the rig meticulously, I'd say getting an SSD is always a good idea, whether for gaming or generally ;) Just remember the game has to be actually on the SSD to have proper impact. I know many people who buy an SSD with only like 60 GB, only put the OS there and then get confused why other programs dont run much faster than before.

You'd be surprised. Many of us don't fall into the sit-on-our-asses clichée. Well, it's a trick question, isn't it? Who wears jeans...

Vanilla = Unmodified.The original flavor. Not chocolate, not cranberry, and no machine guns in your inventory when you spawn.

Yes, we have found heli crashs since the new update. All is working fine, at least with vanilla code.

I hate you.

There's like a 3/4 chance every hour for one to spawn. If they don't appear on the servers you play on, there may be something wrong with Bliss.

Bug. Indoor movement for the AI is likely as good as it's ever gonna get before standalone, we'll have to deal with it for the time being.

First time I tried Lingor, I ran and ran... and ran... and see a big hotel. "Cool, let's check that out first". First building I ever entered on Lingor. Go up one flight of stairs, look on floor. Ghillie suit. <3 Lingor First time I ever played, join a server, some guys are talking about playing on their own password protected server, telling some guy to come to their TS for the password. So I piggybacked onto that TS aswell, said hello, got the password and logged on their server. Those other guys met up pretty quickly but I had no idea where I was. I didn't have a map, nor any idea what towns even existed. Run inland, run and run... and run... and run... and suddenly vegetation stops. Crap, this must be the map border. Okay, let's go a little east. No food or drinks, running red on both... I find that white pickup that spawns north of Zelenogorsk... in working shape! Sure, not perfect condition, but 4 wheels and an engine, what more can you want? 1/4 full of gas, too! So, happy that I found my first vehicle ever, I hop in, hit three houses while figuring out that vehicles are steered mainly with the mouse - I learned how to use the AD steering a bit later - follow the road. Just as the gas runs empty, I hear a helicopter, the guys owning the server arrive, land, take out all the zombies, give me food, drinks and blood and take me along to their camp, gearing me properly there.

Just wait for the hotfix, it be much better now.

It's a fan project taking the taviana fan-made map and adding more customization to it. Tbh, I'm not a big fan. The features they try to add fall flat and anything that works properly is unmodified DayZ. But, I haven't played it that much, so who knows. Some like it, some don't.

There have, for a longer time than just this patch, been 3 kinds of randomly placed environment objects on the map, as far as I know: - Vehicle wrecks with loot (other than the static ones that are just roadblocks) - your friend probably meant these - Helicopter crashes (with smoke rising) - Care packages (with loot around them)

Someone was quoting him in another thread about them wanting everyday books like in Skyrim (i.e. 'Flora & fauna of Chernarus' over 'The day i escaped 20 zombies")

Eating lunch at the moment (~10 minutes), then I'm free to help ;)

What on earth for?

No, we don't know how many died before your character wakes up on the shore, so there's probably far less people remaining.

Neat idea. Shame I suck at creative writing. Anyone feel like turning this into something decent, be my guest: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CJMYVneVSAtR_8JluaYwV8T8044aKinNnYQd6IUg4zA/edit?usp=sharing

As to vehicle rareness, I'd say that was at least in part because of the safety against zombie they represent. Now that that's slowly fading, vanilla might deserve a few more vehicle spawns. And guess what? They added 2 vehicles.
