Imagine SA using the ArmA III engine
OrLoK replied to DayzForumer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there I dont understand the lack of love for the A3 engine. Personally (and I think that's the key word) I find it much improved. I am bored of high temp climates though and would prefer somewhere a bit chillier. I find the movement far better than clunky old A2, although its not perfect. Im not a fan of the "modern" gear and weaponry, but I simply use A2 content instead. I dont see how its a consolised version though. Rgds LoK -
hello there most well organised mods will be in your OA/CO main folder and will be prefixed by an @ sign. If you have @dayz+ and say, @dayzi44 for example. deleting either should not interfere with the other. Rgds LoK

I'd like to see a pic of that box. L

Suggestion: adding writing tools/ paint spray
OrLoK replied to kapnobatai's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Hello there I think it probably more of a tech issue rather than a legit fear of penii. Whenever you dirty unwashed masses are involved it always comes down to the lowest denominator. But I would like to see (in an ideal world) spraycans/chalk available to leave messages/art. Yes there will be willies, but the good stuff thats left would outweigh the man meat. Rdgs lOk -
Can we drag or track vehicles with heli?
OrLoK replied to leondss's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there If the "mod" is enabled one just has to hover over the said vehicle and an option to attach/lift should pop up in screen or the scroll menu depending on the script. Rgds LoK -

Entrenchingtool for digging up hidden body?
OrLoK replied to Slartybartfast's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Hello there An interesting mechanic and one I was quick to dimiss, but after giving it some thought (and reading post rather than *just* title!) I like it. Burying and "recovering" a body should take a digging tool of some kind. (improvised or not) and should take time. But, one would have to be wary of disease which could be influenced by time buried/pre existing conditions before death. All equipment "buried" should be retrievable but perhaps degraded over time. I'd prefer a different "marker" than flies buzzing, but am a loss as to what to use instead. Rdgs LoK -
Walking/running. All we need for the moment. With the remake of the buildings in chernarus+ cities will be far more populated IMHO and less of a sniper FFA hence less real need for vehicles. i'm happy for the devs to remove em all to be replaced at a later date with a different system. Also, one "sees" more of the gameworld on foot. Thanks to Dayz Ive seen far more of Chernarus in detail in a year than I did in many years of A2 play. I *bow* to the map designers and artists.

Has Anyone Ever Shot Down a Chopper with a Rocket Launcher?
OrLoK replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
inb4 <trivia> I've never "done" one of these inb4's before. Thought i'd try it out as the threads being 'yarded/locked. So, dont do it kids. mmkay? -
How customizable should clothing/character customization be?
OrLoK replied to carbine781 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Hello there I'd like a big mix of clothing etc. Large purple dildos I can do without though. BUT, I too dress "alternatively" and often do have a short taxidriver esque Mohawk. Why should I be disallowed to have one in game? Yes, a plethora of clown masks would be annoying but finding a rare one? I have no issue with that. People will kill for anything not just hats, so dont worry too much about them. We need variety, and remember, what's "normal" to you is not to another. Rgds LoK -

Doh! missed that. Wanna lock it? -
Really? Why is a random possible illness "stupid". It happens in real life. Whilst not to everyones taste, I would like to know why it is "stupid". I can understand folk not wanting a penalty in comparison to other players but we all have our own preferred types of play. Relegating anyones opinion as "stupid" is not on IMHO. Rgds LoK

Hello there Thanks for the info. This isnt my field, but worth looking into. As with the serverside limit on the kb amount of custom skins can a limit be set on the paa file thats attached to the XML to effectively stop the player with an XML joining? Also, is anyone else experiencing this with their server? And is your server hosted by another person? Rgds LoK

No DevBlog this week but here is some screens
OrLoK replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
I do see a return to the camaraderie of the "good 'ole dayz" at first, but knowing people, I reckon we'll go back to being selfish and bitey. Hopefully there'll be enough to do to stop the simplicity of pure PvP DMing as is the case at the moment. I want other players to be a threat sometimes, but hopefully there'll be more peaceful ways for us to interact. BUT I dont want to be FORCED to buddy up to achieve a *thing*. I'm an anti social bugger and prefer to solo. Rdgs LoK -
Visual effects, Are they an inconvenience?

Will i be able to Buy Dayz standalone From my local game store And other questions.
OrLoK replied to PuRe DAYZ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there Having "dreadful" internet with regards to downloading a vast (8gig?) amount of data does not necessarily equate to a bad gameplay experience and ping values. Even if the chap's ping is high, if he's having fun then there's no problem with that. Not everyone has a 1337 PC or an uberfast connection. Lives vary. As to getting your hands on a physical copy. I just dont know. But if one has access to another machine with a better connection one could dl it on the groovy pC and then copy it to the slower connection machine via external disk etc if one uses Steam (which appears to be the preferred provider AFAIK).

Hello there What's this double/triple quality thing? Did I miss some announcement? Or am I not "getting" it? Please explain. Rgds LoK -
I'll be performing prostate exams as per usual. I would like to have issues randomly assigned. Imagine being randomly being assigned short sight and having to find generic spectacles to stop blur. Fun! A whole side game. Not for everyone, but I'd love it. Rgds LoK

Hello there Is this purely in regards to DAYZ? or is a new beta build crashing with the XML in vanilla A2 as well? I have always used an XML. Rgds LoK

*GUIDE* What You Need To Head North! (list / description of items)
OrLoK replied to carbine781 (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Fame at last, Fraggle! I actually thought it was you. I didnt think to actually read the name. @carbine. Good choice in avatar. And interesting guide although I disagree that a main weapon is needed. When folk see someone with *just* an axe it can often lure them in to a false sense of security... Im an axey kinda guy, Rdgs LoK -
Hello there I'm wouldn't look forward to running(?) around hoping to find an asthma inhaler, I do that enough in real life. And yes, I am that much of an archetypal nerd. But it might be an interesting concept to randomly be assigned Asthma/Diabetes or their game equivalent. Rdgs LoK

Hello there Excellent. There are many posts like this but having an actual user posting their results is not so common. But, a macbook user really needs to reply as the differences 'tween desktops and Laptops of similar sounding specs *can* be dramatic. Rgds LoK

Hello there It's going to be a flippin nightmare, Frags. Just look at the whinging and misinformed posts about the A3 alpha. I think the average joe doesnt actually understand the meaning of an Aplha. If we have something that's just playable, Ill be happy. Rgds LoK -

Has Anyone Ever Shot Down a Chopper with a Rocket Launcher?
OrLoK replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there In Arma it's perfectly doable to take down a chopper with a m136. Its just a matter of gauging height/distance to get the "drop" on it. Mainly hovering helos though. In DAYZ, I've never seen a launcher. Rgds LoK
