Hello there Your best bet is to appeal in the community ban thread. have a quick search. If you're innocent you'll be unbanned. Rgds LoK EDIT, if you "purchase" CD keys from a dodgey site (or keygen), you most likely will become Global Banned.

Hello there Each weapon has its own peculiarites (like many forum mods) and their own uses. Practice, practice, practice. Enfield is super, but has it's own "kinks" Rgds LoK

Perma-identity. Nickname is permanent. Nickname as face. Cover face - conceal nickname.
OrLoK replied to DZR_Mikhail's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Hello there A player identity I like. I like it alot. it's the player skin that's the issue. I use a custom face (and have done since OFP) which has a bloody great Union Flag on the back of my toons head, this helps ID me for SL's but unless they're damn close it's almost useless due to how the engine handles it. I like the idea, it needs to be fleshed out though. Rgds LoK EDIT: having strong bold colours works better (ie the blue/white face thats available) it can bee seen fom a further distance, but that means your enemies can PID you too and if you stick out you're first to go down. -
ahh but if they say GB then i tend to go with that. I couldnt open the jpg on my p0hone. so be nice.

Hello there Unfortunately it's up to you to safeguard your copy of arma/dayz. If by your own actions you have let it become compromised then battleye will not help you. Sorry. Rgds LoK

hello there Yes, only www.battleye.com can help you. Follow their procedure outlined in the FAQ to the letter. Then wait. Rgds LoK

Hello there Don't forget that the chap/chapess in charge of the CBL is very ill and may not be available at the moment. Check thread for more details. @Walker Down. Don't be daft. rgds LoK

Hello there Hot keys or a "rose dial" for common coms would be ideal for those of us unable to use a mic. A good idea IMHO but needs work. Any coms can be misused so there's no issue there. Rgds LoK EDIT: or make a coms rose that we can enter our own common phrases in. User choice is key.

Dayz constant low fps on good rig in any server.
OrLoK replied to choppaholic26's topic in New Player Discussion
Hello there Arma is very CPU dependent (as well as all the other bits in your box), but unless server regulated, a far view distance can be an FPS killer. There are so many many many variables for improving performance vs Rig which is why I really suggest looking at the BIS forums, it's been covered to death there and still is. Rgds LoK -
Dayz constant low fps on good rig in any server.
OrLoK replied to choppaholic26's topic in New Player Discussion
Hello there DAYZ runs on a beast of an engine designed to make any PC weep. There are many many many tweaks that can be made either in the command line or in the cfg files. Try Here http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Startup_Parameters for starters. and take a peek in the http://forums.bistudio.com as we've been tweaking this thing for years. There's a wealth of info there. rgds LoK -
Hello there Don't forget DAYZ (arma) can also simulate moon phase light as well. Rgds LoK

Hello there No offence, but no matter what they do scripters are not amusing and shouldn't be rewarded by giving them fame in posts like this. It just encourages them. Rgds LoK

Hello there I don't see why not, its an interesting game mechanic, and works with games like deus ex. As long as the physical boost is small and not like Popeye's Spinache It may not be realistic, but neither are Zeds. Rgds LoK

Hello there I know many of you like multiplayer play, and whilst not exciting for you, SP play may well be exciting for many, many others. I play far more SP than MP in all of my games, the main interaction I have with the nameless hordes is through one or two forums. (I don't do facebook for example). Yes, the game as it stands isn't super exciting for SP but I like it, and as I'll never to be able to afford a server it would be nice to have the option to play SP. If the standalone doesn't support it I'll stick to the mod version and will have to play that branch. But we all must remember that each person plays the game in their own way, and there's nothing wrong with that. Rgds LoK

Hello there Windows are nice and easy to get though if a doors locked. I too would like more interactivity with tools etc but this has been discussed before in length though, have a quick search. rgds LoK

Commercial Products - No More Heinz BeanZ?
OrLoK replied to boxman80's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
hello there Many commercial companies will actively support in game advertising of their products, unless it goes against their ethos/ethics (or if they cant get away with it) so, we may well still see the same names in game. (in fact they may well support it through "stealth" measures) If not, well, there'll be many other companies happy to have ads in game. Personally, i can't bloody stand beans, I'd rather have tins of "Spam". it's pretty much indestructable. http://www.spam.com/ rgds LoK -
Hello there Whilst not trying to vilify you I must agree with the sentiments in most of the above posts. Combat is an awful thing and death tends to be quite a final affair, I try to avoid it as much as possible. perhaps you need to rethink your combat tactics and also, did no one in your clan offer to give you a lift? Getting new reserves back to the front is quite an important thing. Random spawns can be a pain, but that's half the joy of the game. Perhaps try an MP gametype like infiltration, domination or evolution in regular Arma as you'll get lot's of lovely combat and a quick parajump back to the action. Rgds LoK

Hello there I use a very, very old version (essentially the original). But, if you do a quick google you can quickly find various versions, I cannot vouch for them though. (don't want you to loose your cd key!). Be aware though that some recent ones shown on Youtube with the "Flashpoint" mission are a little misleading and show armed Zeds, which arn't really Zeds, rather Zed skinned Civvies, so they won't act in a zombie way. Also, afaik troops still wont engage or interact with Zeds. Hope this helps! rgds LoK PS. someone liking my posts? crikey! :)

Suggestion: Details in Houses -> Atmosphere
OrLoK replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Hello there One reason houses are fairly empty is simply to keep the poly count down to improve performance. Adding too much unnecessary detail be it in polys or textures will lower your performance. It would be nice to have detailed interiors though. Rgds LoK -
Hello there Firstly "betrayal" is a bit harsh IMHO, perhaps misunderstanding? :) Secondly, I too am an avid SP player, and although a bit lonely, I still give DayzSP a bash every now and then. Sometimes I just don't want to deal with the twattery of the internet and like to play alone. But, although I don't expect a decent campaign (from the RV engine), I would like some dynamic aspects and AI controlled survivors (even if they just possess std OPFOR AI). One could label it as a training sim for real online play. One reason why I'll never play WARZ for example is that it's online only, that just doesn't float my particular boat. User choice is key IMHO. rgds LoK

Use the Geoverse engine, its 100'000 times better. FACT
OrLoK replied to RiggsUK's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Hello there The fundamental issue is that most folk just dont understand about game developing, engine licencing etc, so when they see an engine that looks/works great they think "why not use this one"? I for one would like to see the bastard child of Arma2 and BF3 (the one with the best parts, not the gibbering wreck of goo that hisses "kill me" at you). But that's just my dream. Lastly, no game designer is going to wilfully use a sub par engine for their game, rather one that suits their needs, they have experience with and one they can afford (being some of the reasons) Let's not lambast OP rather educate him in the error of his ways. rgds LoK -
i was banned because everyone thought i was hacking
OrLoK replied to shoe799's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Hello there It would help if you named the server you were banned from. Also, punctuation helps. Rgds LoK -
Hullo there Oops I just noticed the version number, my apologies. There are a few updated versions floating around which I believe are just Kron's versions edited. They're not that difficult to find with a decent Google search, I've not seen the above version though. I must remember to use my Mk I eyeballs in future. rgds LoK

WARNING: Don't update Arma2 via Steam, possible hackers
OrLoK replied to Sula's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
hello there if it's happening to many folk then the Steam Goblins are probably on to the issue and a fix should be released presently, worry not! You'll probably be back up and running soon. Rgds LoK -
Hello there If you do a search you'll find it was an old endeavour by somone who was working in cahoots with rocket, there were some issues and the idea was pulled. Personally, I find it fun to play SP although it's not everyones cup of tea. Lastly it's not officially supported so this thread may be locked. rgds LoK
