1. How to disable global chat? 2. How to disable VOIP for global chat (side chat)? 3. How to disable weapon crosshairs? 4. How to disable player nametags? 5. Apparently Arma II uses "Classes." Which class is used for the players? 6. How to disable 3rd person? 7. Viewdistance in the config file. What does increasing this do for the players on the server? Its default at 1600. Can I increase this to increase max viewdistance for the player or something? Or do I leave it at 1600? 8. How do you ban/kick people? Using hfbservers for hosting and I have access to the web console. 9. How do you talk in some sort of ADMIN chat for the purpose of alerting players to server restarts and whatnot?

So I can see my friend's map markings on my map. Why is that? Also, what's the deal with GPS? Can you only see other people with GPS on the map or people in close proximity or something? How's this work? Sometimes random people show up on the map even though I don't have a GPS - why is this? What determines if you see someone on the map or if someone sees you on the map and how does GPS factor into this. Does GPS even have anything to do with seeing people or was I just assuming too much?

Its been daytime all day and all night on my server for about 18hours. Its still light right now actually. The server's based in Seattle. The fuck?

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=15306 This seems to be the issue. Crazy.

Um. We do not run daytime 24/7 on our server. I just logged into it expecting to play during the night, like I prefer to, and it's still fucking daytime. Shit's pissing me off too and that's why I'm posting about it.

Well if we want to turn this thread into a "how to use certain words" discussion then allow me to point out, Kopiovastaava, that you misspelled homosexual as homossexual which, unfortunately, isn't a word. Taking that fact into consideration, this conversation is no longer capable of advancing in the direction of word usage because it can't have possibly happened because you, technically, did not ask about my usage of the word gay with the assumption that I used it for its literal meaning and, thus, Nekrage did not respond to you with his comment about butt pirates, so on and so forth and suffice it to say the entirety of this thread from your post about "homossexual" to Nekrage's post about pussy did not happen. Fortunately for the intended purpose of the thread, we can return to discussing map markers and GPS - unless that issue has been completely addressed, in which case we can all stop posting.

What makes it homossexual? Even if it is gay' date=' why do you care about the fezes sexual choice? [/quote'] I think its important that there is a way, and according to you there is if you shift-leftclick?, to mark off locations on the map that only you can see. It makes sense in a game based around survival that you should be able to mark off locations you deem important so that you can revisit them or warn yourself off from places or whatever.

That shit's fucking gay. When they see my markers they'll see me coming.

I don't see why the hell markings should show up on anyone's map besides your own. Is that honestly intentional? Seems like something that SHOULD be easy to fix if its a bug..

Oh wow. So that's interesting. Good to know how the GPS works now. What about the other stuff?

What issues are you talking about? I haven't had a chance to play during this patch yet.

So I just updated to the latest .2 patch and now when I connect to a .1 server I get an annoying message that stays in the middle of my screen permanently saying that I'm using the wrong version. In addition, my sound seems to be disabled - presumably as a result of this fact. So I need to wait for my friend's server host provider to update to .2 before I can hear my damn game again? I can't even play on the server he paid for while I wait for the server to be updated? Wtf is this shit?

So wtf? Can I ever go past it if somebody places it down and blocks off important locations?

How do you apply the latest Arma II beta patch to your server?

What do they do? Do they affect zombies at all? What's the deal?

Nevermind. Apparently this is an issue with my server host that is being worked on.

So this definitely helped me apply the beta patch appropriately...but there's a problem. Side channel and global channels are supposed to be disabled with the latest game build and beta patch installed yet, of course, they're still enabled on my server. Wtf? I figured that the problem was that I didn't have the beta patch applied to the server correctly and, thanks to this thread I was just able to do that, and yet these chat channels are still available for use. How do I fix this?

Where do you find your instance ID to access the mission files?

So any heads up on what I need to do to obtain the latest mission file? Since I wasn't directly given access to any particular file when I set my server up through HFBservers I can't go to the "same location" I got the previous one. I'm still waiting to turn the chat off on my server. I mean, 50 people on a server with constant chat is pretty annoying.

Well with the mission file the thing is I put my server up through HFBservers.com and everything came all setup. They didn't, however, explicitly provide me with any mission file nor access to any sort of directory of them. That being said, how do I go about obtaining the latest one?

Well if the global chat already disabled in the latest mission file then how is it available on my server? I'm only asking about it because it's currently on and I'm running the latest patch. What's more, what's the deal with the mission file and what do I need to be doing to keep it up to date? I see in the MPmissions folder that there's a LOT of mission files, but I don't see which one is for DayZ. I'm very unclear on what the mission file does and how to make sure I've got the right one for my server.

Just ran through Elektro with no equipment (starting gear flashlight lolol) and looted to my heart's content. I never stopped running. 46 zombies on me? Fuck it - just keep running because, after all, you'll ditch them when you enter your next building to loot due to los. I just kept running ignoring zombies, entered buildings to loot, left with a clean slate and repeated the process. Left Elektro with some variation of an AK rifle and w/e the fuck else I felt like picking up. Other players? Who cares? I'll just run indefinitely. In addition, if you aggro zombies in the wilderness its pretty much impossible to los hide from them - specifically the ones that manage to get really close to you before you start running. The reason for this is because these zombies are able to stay directly on your ass, pretty much, once they already get that close to you - thus making it impossible to ever really los them without entering buildings. This equals: no buildings + wilderness + no weapon = restart.

Dude. The only thing this entire forum area should be used for is to discuss how bad the new patch is. Go away.

I find myself in agreement with this humorously precise topic.
