Hello everyone, for the past few weekends, I've spent alot of time helping new players from the forums. Helping them get started, self-sufficient, then watching them go on they're merry little way. I'd like to get a group of regulars together. I have a private TS3 server, forums, etc. Add me on Steam if you are interested.

In approx. 24 hours; July, 14th @ 8:30 PM CST (-6 GMT) I will be making a fresh start using my secondary Steam account (yes I bought two copies of ArmA X from BIStudios.) If any 'new' players, or survivors in general, would like to get together for some shenanigans, add me on Steam and send me a PM. We may see about 'locking' down Cherno, Berezino, Zelenegorsk, etc, patrol the streets like the Three Amigo's and such. TS3 Server info/rules can be obtained from me there.

Several months ago, on a version long since removed.... I was on the docks of either Elektro, or Cherno, sneaking around, not sure what the "H E double hockey sticks" I was doing. I killed a few infected while looking in some of the industrial buildings for loot, when I heard gun shots and decided to climb up one of the big cranes for a better view. As I was climbing up onto one of the platforms I saw some feet hanging off to the side, so I decides to go have a looksie. As soon as I get onto the platform I see a guy in military garb (the old bandit skin) prone on the platform facing the other direction. I open fire, server lags, he turns around and starts shooting back, he falls off the platform to his death, I bleed out and die.....I didn't know how to use bandages yet.

Yogscast spawned weapons and Admin Help?
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to TiredEthan's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
So it's not "fair" that I help new players every Saturday/Sunday evening by spending 4+ hours dieing repeatedly while I help them get accustomed to the controls, land nav, how to avoid agro, where to find loot, sometimes GIVING them all my gear. You really need to stop with the whine fest dude. If you want help getting started, ask. There is a WHOLE sub forum called the Survivor HQ in the General Forums for it. As for their Portrayal of the game, they do the same thing with Minecraft, did you really expect anything different from them? -
Yogscast spawned weapons and Admin Help?
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to TiredEthan's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Kid's these days... afraid of hard work, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. (In his best "When I was your age..." voice) I was playing DayZ back when we spawned with a Makarov, Morphine, a can o Heinz Baked Beans, etc. I get 10x more joy out of starting with nothing and WORKING for my M4A3 CCO, etc, than starting with "n00b" gear. You'll appreciate what you have when you work for it. Don't believe me? How many kids in high school do dumb things with the cars their parents buy them? How many kids in high school who WORKED for their car did dumb things with it? If you still want to cry about not starting with a gun, I'd suggest you go back to whatever game you came from, because ArmA 2/DayZ is not the game your looking for. -

Ag3nt Richt3r replied to TiredEthan's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Google "Pre-production" & "Post-production" All your questions will should be answered then, if not, put your tin-foil hat back on, because I just saw a black helicopter hovering outside your window! -
Yogscast spawned weapons and Admin Help?
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to TiredEthan's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Maybe Zombie Jesus decided to bless them for being such devoute believers... Why don't you focus your vast mental capabilities and meditate on finding the answers to the questions that really matter.... Like, who would win in a fight to the death, Justin Bieber or PeeWee Herman? -
Yogscast spawned weapons and Admin Help?
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to TiredEthan's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5803-devs-friends-of-devs-and-server-admins-in-game/ Admins can't 'spawn' items or gear. He obviously gave them items taken from his, or his clans, personal stash. I'll assume this was done in an attempt to make the video more 'entertaining'. If you have problems with the methods Yogcast used, take it up with them. I doubt Rocket and the devs really care, and I'm sure they have bigger fish to fry with the growing pains that are being manifested in 1.7.2.3. As for how someone decides to review, or showcase the game, it's called 'Artisic License'. -

Ag3nt Richt3r replied to TiredEthan's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Your looking for an explanation in the wrong place. I doubt those guys frequent these forums. Try tracking them down instead. Sure the video is misleading, but its also possible that their "helpful" admin friend gathered their gear himself and just gave it to them for filming purposes. There's no proof in the video that they 'hacked' it, or that the admin abused any privileges. Yes he guarded them so they could make a stab at producing a video to showcase the game. Do I wish they had given a 'realistic' portrayal, yes, yes I do. But there are plenty of other articles, videos, and photos out there that take things out of context, or misrepresent the actual "DayZ experience". Thumbs-down their video, boycott their channel, flood their inbox with complaints, or do whatever else makes you feel better, but you will not find the answers to your questions for them here. -
DayZ becomes Standalone title in september?
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to bahhh's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Some of Rockets comments look like they are taken out of context... Regardless, I don't see DayZ dissappearing as an ArmA 2 mod. Even IF Rocket decides to pursue a standalone DayZ game, somebody in the modding community will pick up the pieces and run with it. It may not continue in its current form, or even be "official", but DayZ will always be apart of the ArmA 2 mod community. -
I use "Six" to update my mods and locate servers, but I launch through Steam so people can see when I am playing and no to jump on my TS3 server. Once I'm at the server list I filter for the server I located in "Six" and launch from there. Sure it takes longer, but I like the way Steam tracks my stats. Hopefully once this mod gets into beta we can get some Achievements and such, but I won't be broken hearted if that never happens. And to add to what several others have already mentioned, there is more to ArmA 2 than DayZ, get the two DLC packs and start discovering what you've been missing out on for the past 3 years.

I live in Kansas City, MO. That would be CST or GMT-6. Here's where the rub comes in, I personally only have time to play on Sat./Sun. nights ATM, from approx. 9 PM to 3 AM CST. Work + wife + baby = limited free time. Any 'organized' group events will fall on one of those evenings for the time being. I would eventually like to turn it into an official clan and branch off into other games, but I'm content with just a semi-casual group of survivors/vigilantes for now. The TS3 server is up 24/7, so it will always be available for use. I only have 2 general rules, be respectful, and don't swear on an open mic. I'm open to PvP, but I will not take part in preying on those who can't defend themselves. However, I would be open to actively hunting down those that do.

SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE SOME SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS :/
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to Silent Hero IV's topic in New Player Discussion
http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ#Make_a_shortcut_to_launch_ARMA2_Beta_with_Steam_Overlay_.28Optional.29 ATOJAR's Guide works as well, BUT, copying your beta directory into the 'root' ArmA II directory can have negative implecations down the road, primarily if you play any other ArmA II mods that do NOT require the beta patches. I prefer having my beta patches optional. If the Wiki guide does not make sense, add me on Steam and I will walk you through it this weekend. -
Hatchets as a secondary weapon (pistol slot)
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to Ozast's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I rather just see a 'melee' slot. I mean you can already store the hatchet on your toolbelt, pulling it from your toolbelt to your hands, while your gun is already on your shoulder should not cause nor force you to drop your 'primary' weapon. -
Errors I'm Getting Trying to run OA
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Delete your bin folder and have Steam recheck/redownload the missing files again? Looks to me like one of the files is corrupt, I'm no rocket surgeon but I'd check your hard drive for errors and defrag it as well just to be safe. -
Here's an idea.... make a players face 'shadowy', especially at a distance, until you have physically been around them more in game. As you spend more time 'grouped' with them, you begin to learn how they walk, carry their pack, gear, weapons, etc. Then your able to 'recognize' them easier at a distance due to their personal manerisms, etc.

Some feature ideas requesting feedback
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to Ander (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
^What he said! Get rid of the 'static' logout location = login location. Make things more dynamic. Campfire (please start calling it a campfire, instead of a 'fireplace') + Tent = static logout = login point. No campfire = You fell asleep in the woods, town, etc, and you don't know where the H E double hockey sticks you are when you wake back up. Add a more dynamic radius for calculating where to spawn a character when they log back in. This will benefit EVERYONE, not just those who have the time/resources to do so. It will also discourage the rampant DCing that is so prevelant today. IMHO, the whole reason the PvP system in DayZ is so exciting is this,... one bullet levels the playing field. Casual gamers (aka gamers with jobs/families) are, for the most part, on the same playing field as the more hardcore gamers (aka gamers without jobs/families). This is the one aspect of DayZ that I hope NEVER changes. It adds tension, creates chaos, and keeps things interesting. -
I'm fully aware of the "minimum" requirements needed to play DayZ, but there are other mods I will be playing at LANs that require the DLC. I'd also like to support a developer that in turn supports it's community. Back on topic, has anyone managed to find tents? I'm either having bad luck, or they are spawning less frequently now.

ArmA X owner here. I've never had any problem playing, other than the occasional long loading screens, but it seems everyone runs into that for time to time. I got into a few servers last night just fine. - I was able to loot several deer stands without agro. - Looted the market in Zelenogorsk without agro. - I did NOT see 20 watches in the market, there was actually a variety of tools/loot - My M4A3 CCO is still usable. - Didn't see any beartraps. I'm going to buy a 2nd copy of ArmA X this weekend so my friend can play when he comes over.

Making an autorun buttong for logitech G keyboards
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to FaxMonkey's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Add me on Steam, I'm at work right now. I'll walk you through it later, make sure you have the latest version of the software for your keyboard from Logitech. You also may want to refer to the manual for your keyboard, as the method may be different depending on the software version. -
Making an autorun buttong for logitech G keyboards
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to FaxMonkey's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I just made a macro for my G19, but enlighten me, what advantage does your script have or a macro that is executed when pressed, and disabled when pressed again? -
I attempted to login last night, but I was not able to. I got stuck 'Loading' for over 30 minutes. I tried a different server and ran into the same problem. I'll try again tonight and report back with any bugs or shenanigans, I can't wait to test the new hearing on the zeds!

That gun you really wanted? You found it? Well its gone!
Ag3nt Richt3r replied to deviantdigi's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Lost an M24 due to this today. Went to switch primary weapons, it put it on the ground, I was able to pick it up, put it back in my bag, but when I logged off and came back, it was gone.....
