That has got to be my only problem with this game. Well, with all shooter games. It seems that when zooming in somehwere it is always easier to see someone in the grass or bushed than if you were standing near them. Using a can opener and cool looking helmets is neat and all but man I wish the Developers would make grass show up in a scope.

Oh my god.. Yes.. Yes... If you increase the draw distance the FPS goes down.. I'm sure there are a few other ways of having a player not poke out like a sore thumb at 1km distance.

"It would mean rendering grass for up to a km radius from you" No.. it wouldn't. But thanks.

I started a server to play with the mods. There's a bunch of stuff in it. Some AI to kill and it gets a bit tougher the farther away from the coast you go. There are some empty towns to move into. I'm hoping to get a humans vs the game feel but we'll see. You should be able to find it on things like Dayz Commander if you search for "Gentry". The ip is 69.39.239.140:3170

I thought I'd post a message here to see if anyone wants to try it out. I've added some things to the server.... Automatic refueling. Pet dogs that attack zombies for you without the annoying barking. City lights at night so you can get around town a bit easier. A cool bridge to Skalisty Island so you don't have to swim. Added military bases. I'll build your very own base somewhere if you like. Just find a good spot and let me know. Anyway.. I'm very proud of the editing I've done. Please let me know what you think.

I'm trying to institute team play on my server. What I've done is add camo and soldier clothing to the starting gear. When you get in just pick which team you want to join. I'm also adding two large bases to the game, one for soldiers and one for camo. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.

Oops, I guess I put this post in the wrong form. Sorry about that.

Almost every time I use the 3d Editor the camera drops to the ground and I can't raise it up. I place a Center then a Group, then a playable unit but I must be missing something.

It normaly does. Q and Z raise and lower it too but for some reason the camera just sits on the ground for me.

Of all the places on the planet to be overun with zombies. Why did they pick an unknown area like Chernarus?

I bought a dayz.ST server and was wanting to check to see if anyone is hacking in my server. I've never done this before so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance CaptGentry

Thanks Guys. So it seems you can just keep an eye out in the database. What about the guys who spawn in things like boxes of weapons or vehicles? What file could I check for that. Also, what string of text should I be looking for? Is there a "player name spawned weapon box"?

I couldn't find a way to just reset the vehicles. I just started a new database.

Well, I think that is you just shoot anyone you see you'll be missing out on alot of what's fun about this game.

Haha! That's the first thing I thought about doing when I saw they had a chinook in the game.

If you're ever lost remember a few things. The sun sets in the South West and rises in the South East. It's not just east and west. The clouds do move towards the east. I wish this would be more random but you can use it to determine east/west. So... Look up and point in a direction that the clouds are moving to the Right. You'll be facing North.

I just can't figure this out. Using the Dayz.ST control panel is great. Especially for people not familiar with database work. What I started doing is placing vehicles in the map using the control panel map. This is great for general placement but if you want to put something right next to a building or anywhere exactly you're going to have to use the database. So I searched on how to do it. I found you can just spawn a car. Park it in the place you like and then get out and search the database to find it's exact worldspace coordinate. I just can't figure out how to get it working.. So my questions are..... Where in the database do I find a car that I have parked to get its worldspace coordinates? Where in the database do I place these coordinates to make the car spawn in the exact place I want? Thanks in advance?

I figured it out. Use your map to spawn a vehicle in the general area. Make sure your map is set on Spawns, not Vehicles. Click on the vehicle you just spawned and use the ID number there. Log in and drive the vehicle to the exact spot you want it to spawn. Open your database and go to instance_vehicle. Find the ID there in the world_vehicle_id column. There you will find the worldspace you just parked the vehicle. Copy those world space coordinates. Now go to the world_vehicle database and find your ID in the ID column. Paste over those worldspace coordinates and your vehicle will now spawn in the place you parked.

Does sticking at "Waiting for Host" mean i'm not whitelisted yet?

- Name C.Gentry - Location San Antonio Texas - GUID 8fcd636f181d48308ab584b4ced04fbe - Brief statement explaining why you wish to play on UK#10 I've been playing a while and after having two +30 day characters dropped from the sky by hackers I thought I'd start looking for a whitelisted server to play on.

I was hoping to make some additional spawn areas or bases. Maybe change the laodout for players like adding different hats or clothing. Any help would ne great. Thanks in advance.

I love working out the password! "Zombie land" "Emma Watson" BANG "Oh, Emma Stone! Emma Stone!"

Thanks for those links. I can't wait to build me some additions to Cherno or something. One thing I'd like to do is change the skin people log in with. From what I'm seeing I think you can assign skins to individual players. So if I have twenty regular players can I assign USMC uniforms to some and Russian to others?

Man, Russian is so confusing to my brain. I've traveled Europe and found my way around dozens of cites. Am I the only one who has a huge problem pronouncing and/or memorizing these Russian town names? After all this time the only thing I have in my brain are things I can change to English. Stary, Cherno, Electro, NWA, ect. Every other town seems to disappear from my brain the second I close my map. Weird right?

All you have to do is go into a wooded area. Look down at the ground. There is a forest ground and there are a all the other types of ground. Next time you are able to harvest wood pay attention to what the ground looks like.
