    Making models

    I'm guessing that A3 models would be better?
  2. Sorry for the double post but it seems that you can do the same thing to the B95 (Double Rifle) https://twitter.com/ctorchia/status/431712640935550976

    How do I carry more than 3 weapons at a time?

    Well i shoot zombies a good 25% of the time with a magnum. What are the numbers for the Magnum cause i'm on about 40 odd rounds being shot in this life (Managed to make my Magnum turn worn without anything decreasing in condition as if i was hit by zeds, besides Headtorch).

    Bad Habits from other games?

    Looking down. It started when i was playing the COD:Modern Warfare series and i wanted a pistol all the time in single player but you don't always spawn with one. I started shooting legs as a reflex to drop em but not kill them so they'd pull a pistol that i could pick up. In Multiplayers of those games i quickly learnt that aiming high worked better than shooting legs. The Mod enhanced this bad habit because i never expected to see another player so i was constantly scanning the ground for loot. I'm trying to unlearn this habit because i usually shoot legs or miss loot placed up high in the SA which gets me killed or i die from lack of supplies. Same thing that started my bad habit with looking down also nurtured my habit of not looking further than around 50-100m. Everything in COD is considered CQB by DayZ and Arma standards. and thus i never look far enough to spot snipers and the like. Not to mention the fact that the first thing i do when i'm near a town is to just Yolo it, despite the constant reminders to check the area.

    Several russian weapons that Id like to see in Dayz

    And Nagant Revolver. I wonder if i make a good enough model (which will be my first if i ever decide to do it) for it if they will accept it and use it. It's a joke (i hope)

    Zombies in buildings/on rooftops

    Zombies already spawn inside buildings in certain locations. I'll get a screen in the morning if you don't believe me.
  7. Does this mean that the 10/22 should be available within the next 5 updates? If yes then good, if no then also good because then my SKS wont go hungry due to a new ammo spawning. I have a feeling that the stack size on 7.62x39 should be increased to 25. One thing to note is that the mosin apparently uses boxes of 7.62x51 and 7.62x54r changes to 7.62x51 upon loading the mosin. The mosin uses 7.62x54R. /also what's the deal with the reloading causing a staticky buzzing sound during certain points of the animation. EDIT: First Page WOOT!

    SkS Semi Automatic mode?

    Well the SKS is considered to be a battle rifle. Coincidentally so is the Mosin. The M4 is most commonly refered to as an Assault Rifle (which means f*ck all because you assault someone with a BB gun) which means (9 times out of 10) that it has a full auto mode. A battle rifle does not need to be fully auto to be considered a battle rifle.

    SKS + LRS glitch?

    Personally i carry the three that i like (In this life so far). Sawn off shotty for when you need to get up close and personal, hit T when you really don't like the person you are aiming at (found a sh*t ton of snap loaders but i'm almost out of individual rounds). Magnum for zombies and general ammo shortages (Couple of speedloaders and more ammo than i've even had before on this life). SKS for the rifle stuff like dealing with guys with M4s when they decide to not spray and pray and firefights in openish areas(never had more than 50Rds including what was loaded) but i need to find some stripper clips for this cause when it goes dry i'm either running around trying to load it in the inventory or pulling the Magnum/Sawn Off. The others just don;t fit my style. I'm not a sniper and i'm not the type to spray a 3rd burst at everything that moves. I try to play like "Dirty" Harry, one shot should kill, follow up shots are for when you really need to know how alive they are or are used as a part of some sort of intimidation.

    Need forced Respawn

    Just set the game up one night and let him starve while you sleep, you don't starve when you are logged out.

    SKS + LRS glitch?

    I've only found it in Civ spawns, but i haven't been to an airfield since the update.

    SKS + LRS glitch?

    What is said above and Blue usually means you can swap it, not add it to a weapon. I suggest taking the PU off first when testing, if it is red when you make the scope hover over the weapon then it wont work.

    Tough zombies?

    Melee has problems indoors. Due to the way the melee works in the SA vs the mod the axe 80% of the time will hit the roof. The safest way to deal with them is in a room with a high roof or outside.

    How many of you can read/write russian?

    I tried learning how to read it recently but gave up. I can sorta guess where i am (unless i'm on the coast because i can tell where i am on the coast without signs) most of the time. I think about 50% of those guesses are right. One of the things on my to do list is to actually learn it.

    Starting Dayz

    This is the SA sub forum. Try getting a Mod to move it to the Mod subforum.

    SKS or M4A1?

    The SKS is seen as a middle ground between the mosin and the M4. So if you want to spray and pray alot get the M4, if you want quick but aimed shots with a decent amount of damage behind them then keep the SKS.

    Stahp Rocket! You're ruining teh Alpha!

    Here's a hint. Go to dubky north of cherno for a few restarts. It has 3 grocery stores, a school house and a hospital building which spawns firearms and their related components. I have found everything gun related in that town except M4 mags and FNX mags (but who can find FNX mags easily anyway) and i've been healthy for as long as my character has been there. On another good point, it is almost always empty (in the past 4 days on a populated server i have seen one person) and it is above cherno, which means that 90% of people in the area will stay there and die from snipers or move on to Balota and so on.which means they aren't likely to go past the stores, hospitals and firestation in Cherno.
  19. As i said in the OP, you look at the sky mid-recoil.
  20. Yes it is, however it appears to be a bit buggy and there are a couple of vids on the subject of fixing this on youtube. What i really want is the ability to cock the revolver, and then decock it with the same button. But not for it to switch modes like going from semi to full auto. I want it to work as a button to Cock the hammer, but only for that round until either shot or the hammer is decocked.

    Starving, saved by my friend.

    Eat more. That's it, i generally don't stop searching specifically for food till i've found a bag of rice and several cans of food and eaten them. The new update adds the "Energized" and "Hydrated" status messages which allows you to gauge what you need to do in order to start healing.

    Weekly maintenance

    It has started (or should have 10 mins ago), i know that for the Aussies that means all the school aged kids getting on their computers and switching on DayZ (if they even play it) along with the people who work 7-3 all over our great country. I'm predicting at least 5 threads with people complaining that all the servers are down. Anyone else got any predictions on that number. Anyone giving odds on the possibility of the new patch going stable? I'd say 50/50 on the new patch.

    Weekly maintenance

    I think there was around 5. Anyone get an exact number?

    Can't find game in Steam Library

    Try going to the location it should be on your computer and clicking on the .exe which launches it. If you have multiple steam accounts then make sure you are on the right one.
  25. Time to find an SKS! Just after i found the Double barrel as well, after a week of searching.
