Hello there There are loads of 3rd party weapon mods (for arma)that have "attachments" already available, so no need to break any eula etc. Just need someone with the skills, time and enthusiasm. Rgds LoK Edit: I mean it can be done. sorry i'm having a brainwrong at the moment.

Image editing software (anyone know?)
OrLoK replied to Bifftastic's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there To carry on the mod fest (*man hugz* all round and a firm handshake for the others) I've not really fiddled with GIMP for many years, I hear it *is* the goto freebie out there but is it comparable with PS? Does it have features not available in Adobe's venerable flagship product? Is it worth looking at if one already uses PS? (I'm no expert btw but have been using it for "Box Standard" tasks for years) rgds LoK -
Hello there The foody aspect could deviate the game away from the PVP bias the mod seems to have at the moment and could give reasons to defend land etc, but how would one guard ones crops when offline? Rgds LoK

my performance issue (decent gaming rig)
OrLoK replied to eight_13all's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Hello there 60fps isn't bad at all. Personally I'm very jealous. Arma/Dayz can be a bugger to any rig, gotta fiddle with your settings/cfg files and start up params to get the most out of the game. I suggest looking in the threads over at the Bohemia forums a they are very in depth indeed. The various guides here will also assist. Rgds LoK -
Image editing software (anyone know?)
OrLoK replied to Bifftastic's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there I have to agree with those other chaps, AFAIK GIMP is the leader of the freebies. Lots of tutorials on youtube as well. Rgds LoK -
Globally Banned yet never done anything wrong
OrLoK replied to Keenhail's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Hello there Before someone else says it, only BE can assist you in overturning a ban. IF your key has been stolen, then cleaning the reg etc will have no effect if you then reinstall the same stolen/banned key. Now, taking your story as legit, it's still *your* responsibility to safeguard your key, so if you downloaded a gfx optimiser or any other exe/rar/zip etc which allowed you key to get snaffled by nasty folk, then it's *your* fault I'm afraid. Harsh I know. The same goes if your aunt/brother/cat used your PC and accidentally installed the same. (AFAIK) Your only recourse is to submit the ban details to BE and if they think it's appropriate (see their FAQ) they can and do reverse bans that are false positives. Other than that you'll have to buy a new version of the game. (google in-depth before you do or you may loose your key again) Lastly, I was looking for some mods for popular game online and found some which suited my needs, but on closer inspection the said mod used parts of a "legit" cheat program that I believe BE scans for, so even though I was after a mod to ramp up SP difficulty in a separate game I *may* have almost installed nasty software that BE doesn't like. Now, BE may not pick it up but I wasn't going to test it and risk my Arma Key. (this is MY opinion not a guarantee on how BE works btw). rgds LoK -
The Symbiotic relationship between "Carebears" and "Bandits"
OrLoK replied to dekartz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there Carebears and Bandits are mutually exclusive, if one must use the terms. Although the game *would* be simpler without bandits. Would it still be playable without them? For some, yes others no. Rgds LoK -
Hello there Wouldn't a laser sight be a little off if its strapped on with Duck Tape? rgds LoK

Hello there Hegehogs and squirrels would be nice. Proper Hunting *has* been suggested many times, I've always been a little surprised that a "hunting Mod" has never been created for Arma. Farming? A bit too long term for my tastes. Rgds LoK

Do you feel bad when you kill someone?
OrLoK replied to mitor's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there I have committed cold bloodied murder (in game :) ) once, back in the early days. I still don't feel happy about it. Also, I *mistakenly* killed two guys who I thought were very well armed and had NVGs who were baiting a tower block as a trap, I shot them both (one DC'd) and afterward I found that the other chap wasn't as heavily armed as I had imagined. (It was night/i was scared) I mistook their caps as nvgs... I felt a little bad about that. Any fair fights I have won though I am fairly proud of, especially as my aim is dreadful. Rgds LoK -
Paid hacker conversation with costumer on our server
OrLoK replied to Loque's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Hello there S SH S Rgds LoK -
Restart the game or the play session?, could be "degrade" kicking in :) Hopefully it's just your wounding. Play lots of vanilla Arma (i recommend the user made "Flashpoint" dynamic misssions for a fun mindless blast) to get used to the controls. Rgds LoK
-
Hello there I'm still liking it now and then between vanilla (if there is such a thing) Arma and IFLiberation. I take a hiatus of a few days between sessions to not dilute the experience. I have "visited" more Islands in my DAYZ experience than in my Arma play, which is interesting, considering my long relationship with Arma etc and my short one with DAYZ. As time goes by I'm more and more intrigued by the SA. I need to start saving up! Rgds LoK

Wild birds and their use in game.
OrLoK replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
hello there a few arma mods use the "flock of birds take flight when startled" atmospheric. doesnt appear to be a resource hog on my system, so quite doable imho. id like to see more "game" in game. rgds lok -
Why the heck is my singleplayer option not shaded out?
OrLoK replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there Personally, I'd be happy to see em all made into glue, but I thought that was quite witty. Anyhoo, bronies and norms need to learn to get along. I'm working through my bronie issues, I suggest you do too. Rgds LoK -
Hello there Rage is correct. We cannot assist. Check this. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10011-do-not-post-your-global-ban-appeals/ Only BE can do something. Locking Rgds LoK

Hello there Only Battleeye can assist you I'm afraid, Patience is key. Rgds Lok

KnightRid3R Girl Gamer Just Sayin hi :D and my first video!
OrLoK replied to KnightRid3R's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
Hello there I *was* being a little cheeky. It's a known fact there are no women on the internet. It's a myth. :) Seriously though, black / white / male / female / gay / straight etc etc, I love all gamers equally. Rgds LoK -
Why the heck is my singleplayer option not shaded out?
OrLoK replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Arma combatants wont engage Zeds, so a can't be done i'm afraid. Stick to MP, enough enemies there to worry about :) Rgds LoK -
What am i to do with my pub hero when SA hits ?
OrLoK replied to Hetstaine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there Why not keep him? The Mod isn't stopping after the SA. It may go quiet for a bit, but it'll come back. We need a hero to keep folk in the Mod safe. Rgds LoK -
Hello there Admin ban, not global. Try to contact said admin. Rgds LoK

KnightRid3R Girl Gamer Just Sayin hi :D and my first video!

hello there "Girl Gamer"..... I wonder...... rgds LoK -
Hello there Steam? up to you really. I use it for my Arma and find it simple to organise, so I prefer it. YMMV though. Rgds LoK

Hello there Quite possible to do now. (not necesarially with this engine :) ) Terrain and street data are there. Could you walk into your house? No, not really, but you could walk into a building at your houses location. I make (poor) 3d art and used to create Architectural Visualisations for a living. I regularly use real terrain and street data to create 3d procedural cities/towns etc. (not from GE but from similar open source ventures). The buildings can be as high/low res as you want. The basic tools *are* there, they just hav'nt be cobbled together yet. The issues of playability and PC power are another thing! rgds LoK
