  1. Awesome, cheers bloke. How often are we getting updates through for the SA at the moment??
  2. Lol yeh pretty much.. ill just give it a go I guess haha
  3. Not quite what I mean. Im going to be downloading DayZ on my laptop while at a friends house, then when I get home I want to transfer the game to my gaming desktop. What I wanted to know is whether steam will allow me ti just transfer it from laptop to desktop without any dramas? I used the same system to dl the updates and dlc for bf4 and I had to change and add things to my windows registry to get them to work which was a pain in the ass
  4. Reddit, then here. Im currently at work. 2.5 hours to go. I was supposed to work the rest of the week and part of next before I go on xmas holidays, but when I saw that the SA was out I went and basically told my boss that im going on leave as of this afternoon. Good thing he is a good guy and said it was all good.. 3pm cant come soon enough.

    I only used that aircraft as an example, not saying that it should be in game. I used it because I could give a realistic time frame to learn the full start sequence of an aircraft based on my peraonal expierence :) I agree that light aircraft should be the only way to go as far as SA is concerned, but that doesnt change the fact that starting engines is a time consuming thing to learn, even with previous aircraft knowledge

    Realistically, even with a manual, average Joe survivor would not even be able to get the engines started unless he had some idea about aircraft maintenace or operation. Aircraft manuals arent very noob freindly for lack of a better term. I mean, it took me nearly two months to master the starting sequence for the AP3C Orion, and that was after having worked on it for nearly 3 years. Its difficult because there is SO much that can go wrong. This is one of those time where, for the sake of game play, realism needs to be somewhat throw out the window.
  7. The changes to one vertice in turn effect the vertices around it, so trying to make a hole would make a crater. The crater would then have to be filled to look like ground with a hole in it, which would look terrible. This is the reason that even if you drop 1000 bombs all over chernaurs, you only ever get a 2D image that looks like a crater and never actually a hole in the ground :)
  8. As I mentioned mentioned above, it just isnt possible with the engine being used as much as I would like to see it. Its the trade off for having such a large scale map.
  9. I remember reading something that Rocket said about perhaps using a similar sort of system as the Nether in minecraft, dont ask me for a source though, im buggered if I remember where it was.

    Thats not true at all. I can tell you from personal expierence. having worked in and around around aircraft for a long time that you dont need a manual with you if you have even the slightest idea of what is going on.

    Books and skills

    So you want books that increase a certain skill? Thats exactly what others have suggested. How do you want to implement it differently? Do I need a book to fly at all? Or can I already fly to some (albeit poor) extent? You say you want to implement it differently but havent given any examples on how you would do so :)

    Your right! It has been discussed before. Use dat search bar bro! Here you go: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/149834-basic-advanced-skills-with-books-user-manuels/?hl=%2Bskills+%2Band+%2Bbooks http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/144511-character-learning-skills/?hl=%2Bskills+%2Band+%2Bbooks#entry1427646
  13. I dont think this is at all feasible, due to the engine limitations. The system that defines the terrain in game is an image file. Essentially, the map is a high res image where the colours define the height. Because of this every location can only use one Y value, therefore, tunnels just aren't possible. The location of roads and objects and such is stored in a separate file which is simply added to the map image when the map is created. This is the reason the ArmA can support such a large map while using relativity few resources. It is also a very Mod friendly way of doing things. Edit: Spelling :)

    Give us full control - Darwin's Dream

    Not nessecarially. All you would need is something to catch the steam and let in condense back into water. Its pretty easily really. just leaves all the salt behind in your pot :)

    I'll trade Bizon SD

    I once unloaded like 20 rounds, at point blank range, into a dude with this gun. He then turned around and killed me, then bandaged himself. Worst. Weapon. Ever.

    Ridiculously low fps

    I know what you are saying mate, but I think you misunderstood my thought process. You are absolutely correct, his computer cannot affect the performance of a server he is playing on. But that isnt to say that server performance is the only issue causing his low fps. If my 770 can handle a solid 70ish frames while playing just about every dayz server I have tried, im sure as hell his Titan can. I know the whole plugged in properly thing sounds silly. But like I said, ive seen it before and its an extremely easy thing to rule out.

    Ridiculously low fps

    The reason I ruled out server performance was because the OP stated that he gets 60+ frames on other games. He should be getting SHITLOADS more then that with this setup. If I spent that kind of money to get a paltry 60 frames id be ready to kill somebody.edit: spelling

    Ridiculously low fps

    With the kind of rig he is runnung, I cant see the mod or even servers causing this big an issue. Granted, they can impact performance, but with a freakin Titan and 4930 it shouldnt be that much. I think. Haha. At OP, this may sound silly, but have you possibly got your hdmi ports mixed up and have your monitor plugged into the cpus onboard gpu rather then the gpu port itself. I have seen it before. Lol.
