hello there its obvious you chaps are bumping heads, so why not just move on to other servers? Bickering here just makes you all look a little petulant why not resolve this over PM etc? rgds lok

hello there to let folk know i'm not a threat I A,D "waggle", they still shoot at me though. This technique also works well in regular Arma games when folk don't properly PID their tgts. Rgds LoK

Hello there try using DAYZ commander or Armarize, they essentially do the same thing as A2launcher but personally I prefer Armarize. rgds LoK

hello there Again posters seem to be incapable of reading OP. The chap want's HERO status. Killing everyone in sight would hamper that somewhat. Rgds LoK

Hello there I've yet to meet an interesting "out of the norm" bandit. It's usually snipe snipe snipe. I'm not saying they don't exist, I just have never encountered one. If a chap/chapess "held me up" and essentially mugged me or kidnapped me and used me as a pack mule for example, although frustrating you at least make it uber interesting. How could I escape? bide my time or make a run for it? I know game mechanics don't allow that sort of thing at the moment, but there are other ways for a bandit to ply his trade with just a modicum of imagination.. Rgds LoK

hello there The major issue with any iterations of this game from OFP to ToH to DAYZ is the "individual" control system. If I was you I would download Arma2Free and see if you can cope with it's peculiarities. Rgds LoK

If DAYZ happens I'm avoiding Long Island. In the UK when there is a tragedy or disaster folk tend to forget class or status and "club toghether" to assist each other. (there's always exceptions though) I assume it's the same in the States, so your attitude sounds a little sociopathic :) Or are you a member of a family similar to the ones in the film "Deliverence"? I'd rather not squeal for you. Seriously, though, the only way to avoid being shot at is to avoid players, you might try helping new spawns get kitted out, but there's always the risk of a "Long Islander" type shooting you in the back once they have a weapon.

hello there Most servers are Battleye enabled. BE is a security system which attempts to stop payers using naughty scripts and third party software for eample. When on the MP browser you can set your filters to show BE only servers. Rgds LoK

Hello there I applaud you efforts. Do you have any experience in Map creation in Arma? rgds LoK

Hello there Another lone wolf here, I just don't trust anyone enough to team up. In other Armaesque games I love teamwork, In dayz Im a lonely soul by choice. Rgds LoK

Hello there, I'm an arma player from old. You don't *need* a clan/squad to play with, I played almost every day for the past 10 or so years (OFP/VBS/Arma/Arma2) every day and don't belong to one. What you do need is a sense of teamwork and the ability to listen to and follow orders. Rambo's are not appreciated. The Arma universe is vast, DAYZ only players are only getting a fraction of the whole experience. All those "new" islands? Theyre all from Arma we've been playing em for ages. Dont wanna play Russian vs US? simple, download the army of your choice, from the FDF to French to Aliens. There's so much out there, have a peek! www.Armaholic.com (just one of many sites.) rgds LoK

Caves? where? AFAIK caves arn't supported by Arma's version of the RV engine? Or is is an imported mesh? i need to know! rgds loK

Hello there, Crikey! a new original idea! I also agree, these nicknacks and whojamafilps would add a feeling of context and history to the game without giving an enforced backstory. For me, the items would have to be useable in someway, ie books readable, instruments "playable" etc. Perhaps some items requiring batteries. I like this idea, vastly. rgds LoK

fill the dog with helium? rgds LoK

Hello there He sounds like a disruptive player, I don't tolerate those. Personally, I'd ban him. But that's just me. rgds LoK

Hello there Well, I was thinking "proper balloons" but party ones are far, far cooler. Isn't there a Darwin award for the chap who put balloons on his chair and floated up several miles into the atmosphere and froze to death? Rather than testing on dogs and cats, why not just use exploiters and scripters? rgds LoK Balloons, how do they work?

Hello there Hand to hand in the stand alone? really? crikey. Iv'e never seen it implemented in a non comedy way in any arma mod. Hope they pull it off. rgds LoK

Hello there Electricity sub stations are complex things indeed. Surely a slightly more suitable approach would be to enable generators, as many establishments have them (hospitals, some residences etc) and are deliberately fairly simple to operate and refuel. Rgds LoK

Hello there If one can put a wheel on a car (let alone repair a helo) then one should be able to remove pieces too. The user would still have to lug around the removed part, and any one else would still have th opportunity to replace said part. Then again, if they come across a vehicle and cannot/wont repair, then they'll just nuke it. Rgds LoK

Hello there Probably a daft question, but can CD thefts result in "running" PBO files? Obviously, any executeable can be dangerous, but can anything be hidden within an PBO file? A pbo is only a collated amalgum of files and file structures could, when packed, a pbo hold a dangeous script? Rgds LoK

hello there What the other posters are trying to point out is that we are all well aware of the scripting issues. Try "whitelist" servers, servers with live mods etc. A quick search on the subject will give you all you need to know. Rgds LoK

hello there That's why i use my mac for teh pr0n. Well, now I'm a little less busy I've re read the main reply and from what I gather any real infection/issue from a PBO is small. (whilst not impossible. Rgds LoK

Hello there Ballons are quite tricky things to operate in real life and have a many delicate components, also the rarity would have to be utterly high. An interesting idea, but for me a little out of the Dayz ethos. Keep the ideas coming though, perhaps I'm worng! Rgds LoK

Hello there I sure the devs have thought that through, it would be silly of them to hobble their own release.

Hello there Thank for the info, but do you mean within the pbo or just within, say the rar or zip file? rgds LoK
