why are there tents of rare shit in....
octopos replied to t3hnoob's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It will work =] . Get all you want from tent, drop the rest in the ground. Save tent, put something there, wait some seconds for sync, Save the tent again. It's important to wait some seconds, to ensure the sync. Some times you move itens, save tent, move away, but the items you dropped in the ground continued into the tent, and you save it :( -
Arma 3 engine does not support windows xp
octopos replied to badger05's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
According with all I read, I SUPPOSE that standalone will use all sub-system of VR4 except fo network subsystem for mplayer, that will be from VR3 . -
Last week I played at Lingor 9/10 times... It's SO MUCH FUN to engage battles inside city but with cover. Be at top of a 4 levels building watching the movements of a town. Even a small village can be fun, because it have at least one 3 level buildings two 2 levels buildings and a garage, with industrial loot. As every city you have cover, it's hard to a kiddie with his .50 to hit you when you'r fresh. Some times you can teamup with some one 10km away, using side chat . In my opinion, the map is better to survival and pvp. The only problem is servers. Almost all I tried become slowly at night, even with low ping, so the hardware isn't so good as official dayz servers

It's so funny to read north americans calling hunt rifles or other firearms as "found at home" :P . Most part of world if you have a gun at home, you work for government to ensure the law or your work is against it :} . With some exception of course.

Bad serial number given in setup Help!
octopos replied to Nexoit's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
This occurs with me every time I verify arma 2 oa integrity. What I do is to right click at ARMA 2 OA in Game Library and select View CD-Key. Run ARMA 2(not OA) and voila :P This always fix this issue. For Battleye with this error, uninstall it at program manager, and download both client and server files from http://www.battleye.com/download.html and save inside ARMA 2 OA Expansion . -
Dayz takes too long to load, can't play?
octopos replied to Piripon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It's happened with me MANY times. My friend told that in game I receive a disconnect for using wrong signed files, but I didn't receive any errors, just stuck in loading screen for ever. I don't know why, but some times I'm play in a server, disconnect for some reason, like eat :P , and when I reconnect my files get wrong signatures. I re-extract them and reenter in game. Beside chkdisk result in no errors, battleeye is response different files signatures than expected. -
I was chasing a player (that killed on sight a noob lost at north) near the-not-pronounceable-place Mountain. And in the base of the mountain I saw a Tractor, in straight line from the deer stand in 31-90 . So I run for it =] BUT!! For some reason, when I saw the tractor, it simply disappeared from my sight!Puff... I continued to ruuun around, and I found it... I began to be scared, this object just teleported to another place, just near you-know-where... I got courage and geared in it. But, nothing, its was empty.. weary. Who park a empty tractor? Any way, I mounted it make a ride after the news born killer. Maybe run over him B) So I take a ride: I decide to go to Pustoshka, maybe that player is going to there? But near the city, I started to heard many shoots, a Light Machine Gun for sure!! OMG that tractor is in red, I will be killed in explosion!! Nothing happened.... I was in open field and continues to drive... if I dismount, I will get a broken leg and a bullet for sure :( . If I stop and dismount, at that rate of fire, I will get killed for sure... SO FULL SPEEEED!! Yep, this is full speed :} . I went to Pustoshka, again at shoot range. How?! I was driving a tractor!! Any way, I'm save now, just dismount, get a good shoot position and take my M14 :D BUT soon as I dismounted, the tractor began to scream!! A pain scream, this is a cursed vehicle?! WHY I stolen this tractor from you-know-where?! It must be cursed!! I run like a girl, not looking behind :( BANG!! Explosion... Sudden the shoots stopped. I was near a house, I came in. No sound (just zeds all over the place).... I got my balls at the ground and decided to see what happened to the tractor. Burned. No zed nearby, no shoots. I thought "The shooter it's coming to kill me!!" So I waited almost 5 mins... nothing.. So I start to running around the city... NO ONE! No one appeared!! What the hell, who was shooting?! That cursed tractor!! Its was kidding with my fears!! Daaaam the-not-pronounceable-place Mountain and it vehicles!! All cursed!! CURSED!!!! CUUURSED!!! NEVA GONA FOORGOT WHAT HAPPENED IN YOU-KNOW-WHERE!! NEVEEEER!!!!

Cursed Tractor at Green Mountain US1589
octopos replied to octopos's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
And you are a humorist right? =] Lets put a smile on your face -
Go to the board of the MAP! North of NWA and run near roads. There's some vehicles with poor speed in offroad, so they must be near roads. If you have N.V you can spot it far away, as any non military vehicles reflect the moon light as a bright light, and military reflect it as the tree. Before the new version start to spaw every one that change server for ping/laggy crash etc, at beach, I was into deep north forest, where I and my friends found an ATV, UAV, V3, URAL ,Horn and the old yellow car :} .

No Muders, And i have helped People.
octopos replied to Devin (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think it's bugged. I always helped people, made maaaany blood transfusion and bandaged friends. I have killed some players, many of them shoot first... Any way my humanity goes from 42k to -27k all the time. So I'm playing 1.7.2.4 until 1.7.3 :} -
How far north/west can you hide things?
octopos replied to Obsolescence's topic in New Player Discussion
Look at game map, you will see a forest at each map limit and beyond this, a "desert" no tree and nothing, in map it's only brow. The limit is these forest, where're trees. If you park and save your vehicles/tents outside these limit, it will be lost for limbo :} -
Searching for GPS, Coyote Backpack and Rangefinders.
octopos replied to YassirX's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You have my beans sr. Why we don't have more players like that.... I and my friends have 5 tents, all found in spaws, and we save the tent 3x every time we change it items :P -
I already found 2 of it :} . Always in helicrash site. One of these crash site was in NWA :P , in the same day I found a N.V and M14 in helicrash, and M4A1SD in the Airfield. Yep :P
-
Yep, I start playing in a private hive just to see the differences, and the low ping :} . I spawned near Balota and made my run to airfield, and... no glitch. I was running like a kid, zooming, and everything clean. Detail that I'm using 1.7.2.4. So I run to Cherno... no glitch at all... I thought.. "for some reason it's gone!! Great!" . I logged in normal hive, near cherno, and I can barely use zoom near coast and all the hell of giant glitch wall appears near me, black holes and all the stuffs. I didn't even closed the game when changing servers... So I went back some *other* private hive, spawned near Komarovo, run to Balota and clean view.... direct to Cherno and again no glitch. Closed the game, test again, same results I ONLY see these glitch in "official" hive. So, if it's a client side problem, why only happens to official hives? oO

I want the AS50 and have ghillie to trade. Please tell me how do you want to trade? I mean, for the reasons of having a budy in the wood that will take me out :} Like this: http://dayzmod.com/f...th-4-full-mags/ Beside the location, as you already determined :} Did you have a preferable server? -
Great =] What gun did you used? I hacker killed me with tons of grenade launcher, but after I killed him with M14 one time. I thought he was using god mode, but I did a head shoot, so is instantly death I guess, even in god mode.
-
I just logged into the same private hive that last day, no glitch. A friend tried(at balota, where I already passed and no glitch) and said: "You're wrong, I'm seeing glitches here" , I came back and guess what... glitches. He didn't saw glitches in Cherno, but I started to see it, even it wasn't there before. I just don't know what to think :P

Whoa Colonel, your opinion is a great scientific proof =] According to this: http://community.bis..._Answers#Engine The light is calculated per pixel in all object, and it's already know that light algorithm have it parameters used in shadow algorithm. Some times the shadow is the direct calculated as the objects are illuminated, so light and shadow are almost dependable. Of course I maybe wrong, you can always support your arguments in non opinion proof. The view distance is a pre-frame calculation using a approximation of the real object state, so these objects are displayed using a numeric correlative algorithm to pass you the immersion of distance. If you tell me that a preframe calculation is done by CPU, I have bad new for you.... According to this benchmark relative a CPU in ARMA2, not so close to our environment, because of the old version of arm2 used in this test. But it can be used to a non opinion speculative behavior of these CPU in most recent arma2 version. http://www.hardware....-11/arma-2.html As you see, there's differences from hight end CPUs from others, but the differences isn't soooo big. There's 10 fps from Maz12 CPU in compare to the most scored CPU. And these differences isn't all direct to game performance it self, there some noise in there. Of course he will have more fps if he change his CPU, but if we change his GPU he will gain MUCH MORE fps... it's incomparable.. Edit: Typo, english is my 3rd language :}

I had it, and BisonSD, for long period :P. This gun is the quieter of the game, but you must have a good aim, cause the iron sight of it isn't good. Play the Armory of use the Editor of the S.P to be good at it :P If you can shoot a player head, it's equals lethal, the range efficiency of the gun 100m , you will note that a human,player or zed, at 100m will be almost the height of the iron sight, so you first aim from side of that object, elevate a little the iron sight, place on object ans shoot. In Editor I managed to make head shoot at civilians(yep they don't shoot back :P ) at 100m in 7/10 of the time. IF a player don't move for a long period, stay on his feet , you may have a head shoot :P
-
A short suggestion, but really important... So we run 100km in one day, got in 3 gun fights, got 6 shoots, a broken leg, aaaand, just continue to fight. Imagine if we can get tired and need to rest in companion of other people, imagine camp sites with player playing instruments and maybe dancing :} . Or even we using a harmonica to entertain your selfs . The differences of a camp site with fireplace and many players hanging out from solo wolf with a harmonica is the battle fatigue regeneration. If you get to tired of fighting you get bad screen(eyestrain, similar to low blood) , more time with hight breathing, and maybe not running, or running for low period, and at the end, lower blood regeneration from food =] You know, stress can really kill you :} Edit: We can have silenced methods to decrease battle fatigue, we can have journals, radios , play cards( WILL BE EXTREMELY AWESOME, POKER WITH GUNS?!) , and porn, yep, bikini girls, to char of course. =] Edit2: We can bet beans, OMYGOD

Nice idea, you got it. The concept of playing it as you're a robot, that only need resources to continue to do the same things for hours isn't deep to a simulator. I'm not talking about realism it self, but depth game play. The idea to have newspaper that will tell what happened in the world is great. And these stamina system can even improve the pvp, as you maybe ask your self "is this player more rested than me(better aim? running speed? chance to be k.o?)". I just think that this robot game play cannot provide the right immersion as other factor like hungry and thirst can provide. Even if you spend more food and water getting hit and running, you never get tired of doing that.

No, he doesn't need a new cpu. His cpu is powerful enough to handle this game. The resolution AND view distance isn't a work for CPU directly, it's GPU dependable. You are right about comparing his cpu with a new one, right his cpu isn't so powerful. But you're using a benchmark, that have a set of stress test, so it set the CPU to it's limit, and give your what's this limit. The work of the CPU in this game, as in almost all recent games, is to submit task to GPU, like texture rendering/loading (by *DMA, so the CPU is out of the disk reading) ,providing the sound(most recent(like >2008) soundboard can use *DMA to load high quality audio) , controlling(mouse/keyboading) and some minor tasks. So the most heavy work the CPU designate to GPU and soundboard. Of course if he buy a new CPU we will gain like 5fps, this gain is most probably by a smaller task queue than a faster threads dispatched by this game. This gain can be(almost, completely or better) done with a better list of active services and running program. Running windows without AERO for example, can give him more fps in game than buying a new CPU.

You have a great machine. You provably can hold it for more than a year, yep. You can invest in cooling your machine and do a overclocking, using benchmark tool and slowly increasing your parameters. See that your CPU can handle more than this game, so the real problem is your GPU, if you want o play it in > High quality. Another big problem is Windows, as it suppose that all users is a monkey with a damaged brain, it load almost every know service at startup. A service is a high priority task owned by user/group system, ans most of it runs with part in kerneland. But windows's schedule is know be not efficient to handle many high priority non-preemptive system tasks in SMP systems :P, aka system tasks in a "multiprocessed" system, like yours. SO it's good beet read about windows services, and your installed software that runs at boot, so you know which can be disabled for ever, like bluetooth service when you don't have a bluetooth device, or which you can turn a manual loading, when another service can load a dependable service. This way you can avoid a forced premptive schedule ticks when playing your game. This can increase notably your system performance, deeply when dispatching GPU tasks, made by Directx. Read a little about this, and install some software to help you in this kind of tuning , like Advanced system care (turbo game option have a list of services idle at gaming, so it automatic disable at games) . Most people will tell you to buy a new machine, because it's easy bypass windows inefficiency with high end PC :P
