dashx73 (DayZ)

I just finished my first week of playing dayz, i had never played before and I spent the entire week joining and playing on several of the numerous offical and unoffical servers familiarizing myself with the game and what goes on, I have become completely dissatisfied, with my experience thus far.I found it hard to find a server I enjoyed because of things like The admin abuse, game mechanics ruined by custom anti hacking measures or by hacking, admin scripting, custom loadouts, server custom map changes, admin revealing my location to their friends via admin map, admin spawning in items for themselves or friends, and futher igornace of the obnoxiousness of batteye spamming the side-chat and ruining my dayz experience, and I have come up with a solution: to Create a server that I always wanted to play on. Let me describe it. First I would put the player population to 100 No custom server banner, just simply the black dayz logo custom join screen, (does not show lobby, simply joins game, and spawns in player,) black out the lobby information, bluefor information, and everything in the lobby in general, new players would spawn in a randomly chosen location in air and parachute in. server name would just be DAYZ I would use a program to automatically admin the server. something like TSW anti hack tool. disable battleye no cd key required all global and side chat would be disabled, direct chat only, voice or type, custom chat featured and added radio object that would allow player to tune to a frequency and voice or text to players on that frequency. no kicking or banning players - other measures would be taken, to get to the problem script scan tool would disable scripts or injectors instead of ban or kick player, it would just simply disable whatever they are trying to add in, or spawn in, or teleport, guns that are not allowed would simply be removed from inventory or world (helicopter crashes) upon spawn. world would be recustomized to allow every building enterable or adding items that spawn all over map. loot spawns would be realistic, to location and realsiticly placed, vehicles could have parts removed, or added via toolbox vehicles can be auto refuled at either the gas pump, fuel dump, fuel station, farm gas, auto refuel works by mouse wheel vehicle to [re-fuel] when next to one of the above, zombies animation slowed down, zombies do not run past players and then stop and turn around to attack player, zombies no longer flail around, quickly moving around between crouch and stand, or crawl or stand, or even just make one zombie animation for only standing, slow walking, zombies that easily detect player and slowly start to gather towards players, and move in Hordes, zombies requiring headshots for single bullet kill or killed by shooting numerous times zombie damage to players rarely causes bleeding, or knock outs, unless player is sick, or very hurt, backpack and inventory increased, to allow multiple primary weapons max of 2, One inventory, backpacks simply add slots to primary inventory, no longer put items in backpack or on person, simply just have an general inventory count that can be removed or added to, all items take one inventory slot, this will prevent items from being destoryed when added to inventory, inventory can be accessed by other players, just like backpack could have been before players would never be kicked or banned, other measures would be taken hackers teleporting would result in player death, or simply disabled teleport via script the only text that would display in sidechat is, [player has died] zombie animations slowed down The hud would contain only the generic functions, will not display server [insert] towing enabled but improved part smelting enabled, more vehicle types added, world improved to create more realistic world and loot spawn locations, world time would be 4 day night cycles within the amount of time of one real world day.. weather would be variable I wanted to create a server that would implement all of my favorite functions I have come across playing the different modifications of dayz. I am here looking for help to either have someone convert there server over to this style, or help me create one from scratch, experience with scripting to add in some of these features, and modify files to all the functionality. To create a better dayz..and dayz experience.

who is the whole dev team? you mean rocket? Im pretty sure there is no dev team, I'm actually going to play dayz origns it seems like it has the game I was looking for..

this server definatly needs some good "mature" admin..

they are made, i don't celebrate christmas.. so everyday is a holiday for me

I have arma 2 combined operations installed with day, everything is fine, but I run my hard drive is very small and I would like to make some more space. Arma takes up like 31 gigs or so and I know that Dayz doesn't require all those files to play it. I don't really care about playing arma anymore so i wanted to just delete anything that is not needed to play dayZ. I also wanted to have it so I can just click a single icon "dayz mod" and have it automatically connect to my favorite server. totally bypassing all the arma stuff and stripping it really down to bare bones files needed to play dayz. I know the standalone is out soon and I am excited, but I really want to create a sort of standalone of the mod as well, and since arma 3 i don't really play arma 2 anymore so i just wanted to make some more room on my hd by getting rid of everything not needed. Can you help me to understand what files are safe to delete so I don't ruin the game. or better just what exact files are needed and I will just delete everything else. thank you

not to be off topic, but I need people who actually understand how mods work, specifically someone who understands how to view files and file folders, how to explore directories, registries and how to edit or delete files of various types. Even better someone that understands what files are in use while dayz is running. The files checked by battleye, and thus creating a standalone. The biggest problem with dayz is most people who play mods are barely able to install one to begin with.

well if you can technically play dayz with OA and the trail version then you can technically play dayz with only the files required to run it or similar, aka the hackers modifying required files and still being able to play.. so I know if i delete some files not in use I will also still be able to play

. this is something that the mod developers should do, or pay someone to do, or even make an agreement with arma to release a version like this, and then simply require to enter a cd even the way they should release the mod from the website. either way Im going to create a standalone by simply deleting files not needed to create a standalone making one icon to launch the game, and automatically launch into a specific server that is closely monitored by mature individuals that doesn't have hackers..... its ignorant to require players to install 31 gigs to play a game that takes about 4

They wont kick you for missing files not needed or not checked. and there are plenty of them

the smaller the file size the better. So now I delete arma 2 and install arma free, but I heard that dayz just uses only the map and textures from arma 2, so I could delete everything that isn't the map and textures, and still keep quality while minimizing file size.. I can look at all the mod files individually and see what files they point to and then just delete everything, but I figured since you guys made the mod you would know the exact files needed so this don't have to be a week long trial and error process. and the point is "Im not messing with the basic files of the game" battleye will be fine. I'm sure battleye doesn't detect that the single player files are missing, when you are playing online.. that would be silly. Im going to start making a list of files that are safe to delete. or try running the game and see what files are in use and then delete the ones that arnt.
