Yeah, I am thinking of something. Have you ever seen the movie Into the Wild ? The main character has a book upon all plants he could find in the area he wants to go (Alaska). Why not implement a in-game book, which contains all kind of plants and vegetable, the way to prepare it, and advices to recognize them We could find too the dangerous one, which can be lethal or just bad for the health. In the movie, (yes i'm spoiling but I think most of the people saw it), Alexander died because he thought one plant (edible) was another (lethal), and this is why he died, he found his error at the next page of his book ! It would increase the realism in game, and for example, in a team, only one of the player could become a specialist of plant, and prepare all the things while his friends are looting. And then it adds an interest to have basecamp.

Beautiful, which software or mod are you using to make this ? :D

I mean by obligation, that one of the choices have to be choosed.

Think graphic performance. Not everybody have a monster as computer, and grass (vegetations somehow) takes lot of instructions while showing 3d models. Why didn't you present a solution ? I think the 3d model, at long range, and for low end computer, should be removed, and replaced by a single cube with grass texture, which takes not any instructions on the GPU to be clipped on the map. And this should be an obligation ! An option like : "At longe range, show vegetations with : - 3d models - only cube + texture" I'll agree with some people who will say that it would be ugly. But it's the only solution to simulate grass at long range, without forcing gpu to show highly detailed 3d models.

It depends how the company see that ! They could be offusced to see their products uses without permission, like they could be happy to see that they are making free ads ! Don't forget that Coca, Pepsi and co are very powerful, and their team of lawyers too...

They have to ask at Coca, Pepsi, and the firm that produces Mountain Dew, if they can use the name... But sadly firms often asks money for allowing the name to be used. Maybe they can do like in movie's industry, use "products placement" and it will be Coca, Pepsi and Co that give money to BI for making an hidden advertising of their products !

And don't know for you, but personnaly I like to drive sportly, when I'm alone, and quietly when i'm with gf or friends. It ISN'T the same way to change gear ! When I drive quietly, I don't increase the engine speed over 3000 rpm ! But when I want to drive faster, I usually make the engine go over 5000 rpm to have more acceleration, but in the other more gas is used. On basic cars we can find in Tchernarus, i don't think there is lot of automatic gears. In USA, i don't know, but in Europa, not every family have a automatic cars, especially in rural and poor environments like in tchernarus. With the system of changing gears, people could choose which kind of driving they want, according to the current situation. -> if they are driving in wilderness, they could be less agressive on the acceleration pedal, gas uptake will be decreased, but acceleration too -> if they are in a dangerous situation, if they have to drive very fast to survive, they could choose to pass their gears at more high engine speed. However it would uptake lot of gasoil, and why not can damage a little bit the engine ? I think the clutch system is too elaborated to be resumed by a single button, and almost every adult civilian considers like a reflex the fact to change gears. For the acceleration speed, we could reuse the sytem of Q, W and E. Numbers are for a gasoline car, not a diesel cause I event habits to use them Q -> slighty increase the engine speed to 2000 rpm W -> increase engine speed to 3000 rpm, not quickly, not slowly. With the first gear it will make a brutal starting. E -> quickly increase engine speed to 5000 rpm, with the first gear, makes the wheels burning and is not effective cause you could burn the wheels and not be faster than a starting with W, but in second, third, and fourth gears you could make the difference to escape from a dangerous place. Too much time at 5000 rpm could heat the engine, which could be damaged and gas uptake will be very high

I have an abandoned house near my house, for 6 or 7 years, since owner died, and no one is living here, he had a vegetable garden, with potato, tomatoes, raspberries... I went here last summer with friends and I remenber the garden was full of potatoes plant, and some tomatoes was landing on the ground, but almost ate by insects and birds. The rasperries bushes were very full, and we ate some of them :) We could find in Chernarus, in every village some houses with a garden, that allows us to find potatoes, and some berries, which they grow very easily without human interventions, but are very vulnerable to birds and insects...

For just editing textures we don't need Blender, just paint or maybe photoshop. Blender is for putting textures on 3d model (or creating 3d models but I think it would result on weird shape that people will make). Actually, skin (textures) and 3d models are separated, but Arma combine them to make : a 3d model, with multiple texture, like face, clothings... All characters in Dayz are based on only one shape (maybe one for man and one for woman), and texture are juste picture we can find in Arma files. All videogame are made like this If they put an editor in the SA, people should only customize the texture and not the 3d shape I don't know if I'm easily understandable And like I said upper, an editor like Skyrim, or the Sims, or maybe Fifa would allow players to make characters that look like their, and give more freedom than the actual profile settings, with premade face. However the editor should not allow people to customize the base of the characters, the 3d shape, too much freedom in modeling will not be interesting

Modeling new player shapes in blender is not very interesting.. character are human and body shape cannot be changed, an editor would be more interesting like these we have in skyrim or other RPG! We could choose color, weight, face and other details ! :)

Not a lot of space is required, have you seen the link ? It takes not more space than a can

Just imagine : you're in Tchernarus, near Cherno, it's raining as hell. When you hear some shoots from not so far away ! A bambi is shooting at you with the makarov he just found ! Lucky you, you have a M16, a full magasines, and you shoot him with all the strength and the power of your soul ! Bambi is dead, but you, you're hit, you're bleeding, your blood leave slowly your body ! "What can I do ?" would you say. You have some meat in your backpack, but without cooking it, it can be dangerous, you could have an infection. Zombies are running after you, so you run to the nearest forrest and run and run. After 200m, it seems that no more z's are following you... You stop, harvest woods, and try to light on a fire place. "What ? It doesn't work ? The wood is very very wet..., I will die !!" This little introduction was written to remind you of the absurdity of the actual fireplace system. Actually, even it's raining, snowing, winding, you can light a fireplace, just with (wet and just cut) wood and matches. This is not so realistic. In the real world, to light on a stick of wood, it must be drying for months before it can burn alone. And you will need other devices than only a matches to burn it, like a newspaper, gas, dry grasses. And if waiting 3 months to dry a wood pile is too long for you, some solutions exists ! First solution : portable stove. Portable stove are easily craftable (you could make one with two soda can, a knife and some scrap metals) http://www.thesodaca...w-to-build.html But, not for this soda can stove seems to work only with denat alcohol, which can't be found for now in Dayz. I'm wondering if gas could be effective to run it, or too burnable and explosive.. :/ Second solution : use gas for light up I don't know if you ever tried to light up a fire with only woods, outside, but it's nearly impossible. Only if you sprinkle the woods with gas, oil, or some burnable liquids. The fire will begin instantly when you throw a matches in, and the heat made by the gas will at first dry the woods, which will burn alone when it will be completely dry. Third solution : use cigarette lighter sockets on cars They can provide a suffisant electrical current to heat a resistance (an huge wire in spiral, under a metal board, to avoid contact between meat and resistance. Inconvenients : hard to make the connections between the resistance and the cars in a videogame... ! Thanks for reading, Excuse me for my bad english, I'm french :)

I only want to say that AS 50 is British weapons, and Britsh never came for fighting in Tchernarus, if we follow the background of Arma 2. However Russia is really near, fought in Tchernarus against USMC, but we NEVER find any Russian scoped rifles. SVD, Dragunov, KSVK ? Tchernarus army used them before the infection. I'm not against AS 50, because I play on registered server, where cheat is nearly impossible. I play on it for hundred of hours , but never see any AS 50, nor hear any of them. It's the proof that the AS 50 is clearly very very rare, and without cheating it's very difficult to see one of them. ;)

BAF never came to Tchernarus. Russia is less then 10 km north of NEAF, Tchernarus army uses russian weapons, half of the population in Tchernarus comes from Russia. But nobody cares we don't find any SVD, Ksvk, Dragunov, in Dayz. So I don't think BAF weapons have a reason to be found in Tchernarus, in Takistan why not because BAF fought here, but not in Tchernarus.

How can we explain the amount of M4/M16 rifles ? And M14 ? And M1911, M9, M249 Saw (all weapons that begins by 'M' in fact ahah) The airstrip and airfield nearly only spawn american weapons, that sounds like they were important base of US Army while Tchernarus war
