(Old) 9/5/2014 NEWS: Confirmation on the addition of a leather wallet, a dime bag, and cassette tapes. For the future development of DayZ, player identification could become an important part of the user experience. This will require an action through the scroll-wheel (If that's still a thing in the future) while looking at another player or body. To fit this into the lore of DayZ standalone, the implementation of a "wallet/purse" for all players who spawn, would fit quite well. Contents- The wallet would have a license with his/her picture of their character, and the player's server name, possibly with a reasonable randomly generated age, height, eye/hair color, the corresponding sex and possibly the players blood-type (Maybe a Steam profile picture?). And to fit into the Russian atmosphere, a wallet will also hold vanity items such as, dog-tags, coins/money, maps, or notes. Actions- When hovering over a player the action would inquire "Check Player's Wallet" and would bring up the player's ID when selected and if they've dropped their wallet, it would prompt you with "Player has no identification". This can be dismissed or taken as hostility. When looting a player's dead or unconscious body, it would show up as an accessory, like hats or glasses, and function like a First Aid Kit, allowing the player to search what is inside. Balancing- The wallet would not take any space inside the players inventory, but would act as an accessory, like hats or glasses. This will hopefully negate any reason for a player to drop it. Additional Info: Dog-tags- Found in military spawn locations around Chernarus. Possible etching with sharp objects, like knifes and bayonets, would allow players to type their name/clan and create a personal ID. As long as the player has a sharp object in their inventory, they can keep track of their kills on the dog-tag. These can be worn around a players neck slot, stored in an inventory slot, or stored in a wallet. Coins/Money- Randomly spawned around the world in pockets of civilian clothing and in wallets upon spawning. Possible etching on coins with sharp objects, like knifes and bayonets, can etch different survivor currency. Paper bills can be written on with pens to create survivor bills. Implements an in-game currency for trading. Possible to throw coins to distract players and zombies. Can use bills as kindling in fire pits. Stored in an inventory slot, or stored in a wallet. Credits to additional ideas **Removed types of currency. Unnecessarily complicated?

Bump... Why not? Let's see what the community thinks of this now.

I was just messing around in Blender. Thought I'd create a Cheese Wheel.

Exactly why I posted a cheese wheel model in this community. Lol

That is what I'm personally wanting in this game, a guideline for RP. This will create RP servers and communities. Also, it could create a good base for a DayZRP Standalone mod.

The Russians current currency is a Ruble. They do not use Euros for obvious reasons.

Started messing around in blender! Trying to make some coins!

Update: Wallets going to be added to DayZ along with a dime bag

That is exactly what I was thinking, collecting this money if you want. That is a great idea.

Possibly blood types. Yes for ascetics. I think if you were out and about you would have your wallet on you.

Personally want to see more edible plants in the game myself

Exactly, might not want to kill yourself if you have O- blood type.

Added and credited new ideas.

Yes, I was hoping to go for a more RP feel for DayZ, and those suggestion for the coins and money, I'll add. And that's really cool BigMike, I also write down my character's blood-type.

Since using the blood bagging system in this state of the game is so painfully hard, it should be simplified for the more casual player, allowing players to use blood bags without any negative side effects. In this state of the aplher, Hardcore Servers are more difficult than Regular Servers, and this should be reflected on the medical system. On a Regular Server, the blood bagging system would be simplified to a single blood type, while on a Hardcore Server blood bagging will maintain the same system with multiple blood types. This makes the Hardcore Servers much more difficult than the Regular Servers. The developers have already started splitting up the two server modes by not allowing 3rd Person or the ability to see your location on a map on Hardcore Servers, so why not start on the medical system and implement easier blood bagging. This is just a simple suggestion so I can for once use a blood bag on my friend, without killing him.

Also can't wait for long jackets (and a hunting rifle)

Yep, logged in and lost my FNX with a sight, a suppressor, and a full clip.

Weapon Slings Some players do not use backpacks in DayZ, simply because they do not want to ruin their silhouette. To promote this, the ability to add a rope (or the actual sling for the weapon) to all weapons so they can be carried as a backpack. This would replace the ability to wear backpacks, resulting in less inventory space, restricting what a player can carry, but allows them to have a second primary weapon. But this also means there might be the insane thought of carrying 3 different weapons; to compromise, the player cannot run, leaving them very exposed to zombies and players. It would be up to the player, whether or not they use this or not. The idea is in it's early state and can be added upon to create the ultimate idea ever. Constructive criticism is allowed and ideas the fit well may be added to the OP. **And remember** Don't let your kitchen sink.

Exactly, until there is a backpack that can have a weapon inside it, besides the double barrel, this will make a plausible way to carry 2 weapons and have your hands free.

That is true, but when DayZ becomes more survival intent, you will want to carry water, food, medical supplies, and not just rounds upon rounds of ammunition.

Don't get me wrong. You can carry another gun, along with your primary.

It was more like, I'm in the settings... M4 shots... Exit from settings... Quick picture... Booked it.

Wish I didn't have my graphics on Normal

News Van Idea News Van: If a Zombie Apocalypse happened, every news team would be there in seconds. In movies, they are usually killed by zombies while trying to report the story. So what happens to the vans carrying their equipment? In DayZ the van could be used for a MCV (Mobile Communications Vehicle). This would allow the owner to easily pick up any radio chatter in Chernarus. The van should be able to make broadcasts to local radios and televisions (If it ever comes to that point). It could be used for long-ranged communications between team members. And like all cars in DayZ SA, there should be the ability to listen to the radio. *Useful for streamers who want to communicate with viewers who are playing with them, without giving them unnecessary information.* Spawns: For DayZ SA I think there should be wrecked news vans that can spawn in the major cities. For example, it could spawn in Cherno by the the plane crash. When the van spawns things that might spawn in or around it, like the press vest, would be perfect to find. You may also something to eat or drink. As suggested by NevadaDG, there may be corpses of soldiers, since the news crew may have been protected by the soldiers or may have been interviewing the soldiers. Damaged State: All vans will not be in a pristine state. The equipment should have static in the background ranging from quiet to loud based on quality of the equipment. If the equipment is ruined, it should be un-repairable and unusable, but driveable. Repairing: The van in general should be repairable just like any other vehicle in the future of DayZ SA. An item that should be set to spawn called "Scrap Electronics" that can be used to repair the communication equipment on the van, or to repair radios and walkie-talkies. This is just a suggestion. Things can be changed to anything you would like. Criticism is allowed!
