hello there As others have said, "level" making is not a quick and simple project. None of these maps are new, they are only new to DAYZ. Once an environment is released people will make maps of it, there is nothing to do to counter it. These environments can take months of hard work to produce and Lingor for example is still being tweaked. What could be done, however, is to simplify the pipeline for the addition on new maps to DAYZ so that the many other user made environs could be used. Rgds LoK

Hello there Also, just send them ONE email, don't spam em, follow thier FAQ utterly. AND give 'em some time to get to your issue. Good luck. Rgds LoK

Hello there Please take this post in the manner in which it is intended.I think the main issue is appointing yourself "Elite" grade. Elite to who's grade? There are some things I am good at and some things I am bad at. The things that I am best at, however, I would have a hard time in classing myself "Elite" Proclaiming yourself Elite in such a short space of time/experience just isn't enough to qualify you calling yourself that hence the ridicule from many posters. Also, hitting a target at a distance is not what sniping is all and only about (although an admittedly important part). You'd be better off just advertising your self as "a sniper", as if you have the balls to name yourself that, then folks will assume you have the relevant skills and experience in that role. Also, using a name like "L33T Guille" in conjunction with the above just smacks of "trying a bit to hard". I'd rather hire "Fred the nice average Marksman" than "L33T Guille "ELITE" Sniper". Now, you may believe that you are awsome, and indeed it *may* be true, but these are titles other folk need to appoint to you rather than appointing yourself.

Hello there for *some* feedback from BE check the bohemia forums and look for the appropriate thread. $able is a good chap to search for for news. Rgds LoK

Hello there I wish Arma2/IFL was as dead as DAYZ playerwise. Yes, there are issues and hackers are a pain. Jumping in to rent a server for an alpha test such as this probably wasn't a great idea. Others here will tell you it's not an easy ride and needs to handled properly. My suggestion is to visit Arma2, play there 'till the stand alone comes out and wait for reviews. Plus, normal A2 servers can have zombies and / or survival mods, plus you can lock them with no fear of blacklisting. Heck, if you're that desperate run DAYZ on a locked private server with your chums. But be prepared to do some research and hard work to get that up and running, no hand holding here. As to Dean, well, as I've said before, from his posts I don't think he and I will be heading down the pub anytime soon, but he has bought a popular mod to the Arma community, buggy and flawed though it is. Berating him for that is a little silly. rgds LoK

Oh, right I see. Yeah, knew that one, thanks for clarifying it for me me though, every now and then i still find something new in the series and kick myself for not knowing of it for years. Phew! thought another one had slipped passed me. Anyhoo back OT, a visual check on a body's gear is always the safest way forward. rgds LoK

No......Just no....

Hello there Well, farewell, but try the many great Arma2 mods available, if DAYZ isnt to your taste, there's bound to be missions and mods out there for you. www.armaholic.com is the first place to look, then the Bis forums. Good luck Rgds LoK

Hello there Thrown weapons haven't worked very well traditionally in Arma. Plus, once you've chucked it your weaponless, no? An interesting idea, but IMHO need a bit more thought. rgds LoK

Hello there Quiet servers FTW. Plus it's a test phase you should be out bug hunting and reporting, playing is a bonus :) rgds LoK

Hello there AKM for me, as I solo, and ammo is plentiful. Plus one doesn't look as interesting to robbers. rgds LoK

Hello there There's not alot because there's not alot to the mod at present. Frankly, DAYZ was just a small mod that went viral. If you want mods with years of love put into them Try I44 or A.C.E or PRACS, to name but a tiny few. If you believe marketing blurb as gospel truth, I may have a bridge to sell you. Rgds LoK

Hello there Chernarus is well known to be a beast of a map, that's why so many other maps are popular ie Lingor in DAYZ / Takistan in A2 (to name one of many) Hopefully Dayz stand alone will move to a different or more optimised version of Chernarus. Lastly, turning of post processing is a simple and yet great help for those with less powerful machines. Rgds LoK

Hello there I did't know of any cursor mechanic that showed loot, I always checked everyone. Did I miss something? Honestly, not trolling, was there ever a way to check if Zeds had anything on em other than checking their gear? Rgds LoK PS OP's sig is pure propaganda

Hello there Back in the day "camping" was seen as a legit tactic (although could be dull in 1v1 rs232 cable matches) With the advent of the new fangled upstart called quake, some bright spark wrote a no camp script and a valid tactic was consigned to history from then on in. Now, I can camp again. As long as I don't grief I truly don't see the issue. There are mechanics in place which penalise camping already in game. And If someone wants to sit in one place for hours, what's to stop them? Personally, I like to explore, but if someone wants to sit on a hillside, why berate em? Snipers are supposed to be a pain in the bottom, that's the point of them. I understand your dislike for them, but by that logic, "zombies are a pain too and don't represent how *I* want to play. Ban em!" Also, It's damn dangerous to play solo (although I do) so, group up find a mate and use those anti sniper tactics, most are untrained and disorganised and can easily be flanked/outwitted. If one of you is hurt or dies your mate can guard your loot for you, plus you can get a shiny new rifle off the sniper you kill. Rgds LoK

Hullo there yes, he's posted over on the wolfire forums about how reviever has influenced the progress of his mod. Rgds LoK

hello there Post processing is a no no turn that all off. Why is cpucount=1?? Set your GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1 really, there are no magic tweaks, it's a case of getting it right for your system. Arma2 is very very processor hungry so your game play experience will never uber smooth. Your best bet is to visit the Bohemia forums as the optimisation has been discussed in vaaaaaast detail there. rgds LoK

Hello there Apart from the last two all are already in Arma2, so easy to add in. Rapelling is also covered by an existing "fastrope mod" Clothing changes are just done by mesh replacements, so that's already done to an extent. Rgds LoK

Hullo there Custom skins and sounds are legal, but many servers disallow them due to bandwidth and annoyance factors. *some* servers, A2 ones included, usually insist the file is under 96kb max. I hope this helps. Rgds LoK

Hello there He is. Ultimate end game = ban. rgds LoK

Hello there Don't forget Bohemia, they also has a small hand in the game. rgds LoK

Hello there Have you tried a search?, this is a common issue when trying to join with wrong versions. Rgds LoK

Hello there There's plenty to do, it just takes imagination. This isn't a game that's going to hold your hand and lead you around. Just because a few lights don't show up to tell you you've "Achieved X" doesn't mean there's not lots to do. As to the hacker's that's a different issue. Rgds LoK

Hello there Not gonna happen. rgds LoK

Hello there If legit, nice find! I was expecting it to be the evil santa pic people keep thinking they've discovered for the first time. rgds LoK
