Hey guys, my clan and me want to finally set up our own DayZ SA server. It shouldn't be that big, we are thinking about something like 15-30 slots and are currently scanning for all the providers out there. Fragnet.net is quite inexpensive, so is Gameservers.com but there the servers start at 30 slots, making it in the end more expensive again. Zap-Hosting.com and Gamersfactory.de are even more affordable but it's only for preorder now, so no real server at the moment. Do you have any more recommendations? Which provider do you use? Or have you already experience with hosting a Fragnet server? I am thankful for all your tipps and feedback! :) cheers, Kalle

Hey folks, you surely know this stank statue, which you can find in Cherno or Berezino, right? Well a friend of mine is totally into model making and just bought a model of the tank there. Now he would love to build the foot/podest/foundation of that thing to put the tank on top. But somehow he's too stupid (or too perfectionistic, I don't know^^) to take exakt measurements of that thing ingame to build it with styrofoam. And since I own a 3D printer, here comes my question: Is there a way to get the 3D file of that thing so I can print it for him? He would totally go apeshit if he finds that thing 3D printed in the mail for christmas, I tell you :D Thanks a lot for your help! Cheers, Kalle

I was playing on experimental today and it didn't crash, I'm amazed! I had make a wallpaper out of pure joy :P Enjoy :) Kalle

Hey folks, I made another one. I know, you've see this kind of "DayZ helicrash wallpaper" a thousand times already, but anyway. I liked the screenshot :P

Hey guys, here's a collection of the "photos" I take during my trips. I thought bundling them in one thread would be a nice idea. enjoy, Kalle

Hey folks, I added 3 new landscape screenshots to the first post. Enjoy!

Hey guys, since I can only memorize the key bindings for the hand gestures from F1 to F4, I made this little sheet to help me out. Maybe this will come in handy for some of you aswell. Here you can download the PDF and print it on A4. cheers, Kalle

Well, I grew up using Photoshop so I can only give you the advice to use this one ^^ but of course if you don't earn your living with it then you are not likely to buy it just to polish some screenshots. Anyway, if you do want to get your hands on that piece of software, there are some nice YouTube channels giving tutorials such as "Howard Pinsky" or "Phlearn". Or simply look for tutorials on how to improve landscape photography stuff in general. When I work on my screenshots, after chosing the best ones (I took like 80 today and uploaded only these three, which is much!), I like to run some instagram style color filters first to get some inspiration. Afterwards I play around with layer blending modes, the selective color correction, vignettes and bluring either fore- or background by hand and sharpening the point of interest. I hope I could help you a little bit :)

I added 3 new pictures to the first post. cheers, Kalle

New stuff! So here we go ... 1. Landscape Photography 2. Group & Camping 3. Funny Stuff

Indeed, I am a freelance designer who shoots with his Canon EOS 550D in his spare time :) Well and while gaming, I take a lot of screenshots as well, do some color correction, add blur, crop etc. It's magic :D

some landscape photography and a camp fire scene

sorry for the double post ... Lovely picture, indeed! But you should revisit the editing process and straighten the horizon. At the moment it's curved on the right edge of the picture, which looks weird. Afterwards it's perfect :)

Swamp Ghillie, Deer and "Find the Sniper"

Sweet, where is it?

Random mostly funny, partly explicit or disturbing stuff ^^

Come closer

Yes, the teddy is photoshopped. But I DID find him in Berezino ;)

Hey guys, after checking out a bunch of different servers to test this persistence thing - and having troubles with disappearing loot, tents etc. - I was glad to finally find a private server where the "persistence enabled" was finally working. Being finally able to set up a camp and store some stuff is awesome. But unfortunately it's a daytime only server, restarting every 4 hours. And I would so love to hang out with my group again, sitting around a campfire, watching the sunset. So can you recommend a server which has: (1st) a working persistence enabled (2nd) day and night time (if the server restarts every couple of hours, maybe its main gameplay time is set around the sunset?) (3rd) I don't care if it's a private or a public server. I am fine with private servers since you don't encounter so many server hoppers. But it sucks if the private server you are having your camp on, is full on the exact evening you want to play with your friends. So as I said, I don't mind if private or public. Thanks a lot for your recommendations! :) cheers, Kalle

Any other server suggestions where persistence is working and the sun sets around UTC+1 let's say 23:00?

Germany, and my group plays mostly something between 20:00 - 24:00. So if the sunsets happens something in between, perfect ^^ And just if you guys are wondering why I'm asking. I just don't have the time to go looking and try out different servers for myself. And if me and my buddies meet once a week we don't want to "waste" the time either by checking a lot of servers, we just want to play. So thank you guys a lot again for any tipps!! :)
