Global Banned after just buying the game last night.
OrLoK replied to Haku33's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Hello there You are Globally Banned #3065 is due to this Key theft rgds LoK -
Sometimes, I can't help but love hackers.
OrLoK replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Sometimes, I can't help but love hackers. But, I can never manage to eat a whole one. Rgds LoK -
Hello there BE does and will reverse bans if they are not legit. Try contacting them after reading the FAQ and then wait a while. The BE reps post regularly on the bohemia forums btw. BE will find it difficult though to halt all hacking/scripting as Arma has such an open engine, which is part of its success. DAYZ would not be here without that fact. Rgds LoK

Hello there Yes, the "don't get bitten" direction is missing IMHO, it needs some thinking to get it right but should be in game IMHO. I also would be happy to see the occasional wandering group of zeds, perhaps attacking livestock. And possibly a Zed Swarm, but that should be very rare indeed( and would be horribly difficult to overcome, so maybe ultra rare if at all.) The Hitchcockian / ALIEN (first film) / the THING style of Zed is much more my cup of tea rather than boat loads of irritating ones. Rgds LoK

Video settings guide for lower-end PCs?
OrLoK replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Hello there There is a vast amount of config tweaking and command line editing one can do to improve performance. Check the guides over at the Bohemia forums for the official skinny on cfg tweaks and beta optimal commands. It's really to much to post here. Have a peek here for example Rgds LoK -
Hello there Interesting stuff indeed. I've nothing major to add solutionwise other than to say I too agree that something is "broken" with the current mechanic. I would prefer far less zeds about, but once encountered they should be a real threat as OP states, they are more of an annoyance at the moment. Rgds LoK

Hello there If the ban is legit, then Perma ban them. But as with BE there has to be a way to stop and solve non legit bans (which on the whole are rare) rgds LoK
-
hello there An interesting idea, but the odds are against you. Ladders, doors, bushes, all these are out to kill you let alone players and zeds. The best thing to do is combine anecdotes from several lives into one narrative and work that way, as if you don't your blog may be a very short one. Good luck! Rgds LoK

Hello there whilst I don't condone shooting anyone, script runners / cheats / hackers / exploiters are the bane of any game. Perma ban them. Rgds LoK

hello there New content? Where? Its just A2 stuff as far as I can see. Rgds LoK

Hello there Really it should be the weapon you are most comfortable with. Personally, I'd take the m24. No point having an uber gun if you've got no ammo. rgds LoK

Hacked Weapons: Should we take a more reasoned approach?
OrLoK replied to Obsolescence's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there OP I understand the essence of your point but you are missing the target by a wider margin. Say a scripter inputs a MBT and I discover it. Is that legit to use? By the vague rules it is. But It's going to annoy a heck of a lot of players that have no defence from me that i can easily take out and grief. The allowance to use scripted in weapons takes away from the inherent awfulness/evilness/stupidity/lazyness that is scripting and the vague rules unfortunately assist in this. If I had a server, and anyone was caught using scripted in weapons, they would be asked to get rid of them and then banned if you didn't comply within a reasonable timeframe. Lastly, again if I were a server owner, I would use Rockets Rules as a guideline rather than a god given set of rules. Use common sense, it's a key thing IMHO. If using common sense get me blacklisted then this isn't the game for me. Rgds LoK -
Credit to those who play without a microphone
OrLoK replied to Sula's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there For various reasons, I am not able to use a mic at my PC. Should I be banned? How about having some patience before you shoot? As another beanz filled poster said above there are many reasons folk wont/cannot use a mic. Think externally for a change, we are all different. rgds LoK -
Warning to SA's about the "DayZ AdminZ" forum.
OrLoK replied to andreasb's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Sorry, I have to address this. I just have to. If you hacked/scripted etc in BF3 you were part of the problem not part of the cure. As you said in your last post or so hacks give you an advantage. You tipped the balance of the game in your favour. Playing with hacks is disrespectful, if not directly. In the past I've been the victim of an attempted mugging. I not only dislike the two guys who tried to mug me but ALL muggers. Get the analogy? Also, i'm not a COD "F**ker" as you put it (as it sounds i'm being tarred with the same brush) , and also, would it matter if I play any type of game? I think not, it's the attitude one brings to any game that counts. I'm not going to go into my "games heritage" here or my relationship with this series. Note that the majority of replies to your OP are not full of insults or swear words, as your posts are. Have a think about that. Also note that the majority of replies do not agree with your thoughts, also take some time to ponder that. Now, you may change your attitude to hacking, but it will take a long time for people to forgive and forget. If you are truly legit, prove it. Over time and consistently. Your shouty sweary posts are not a good indicator, perhaps some humble pie is in order? Rgds LoK -
i think i might be a victim of CD-key theft

Hello there No need to copy/paste that entire page, chum. It's merely a spambot. Reported and will soon vanish. Rdgs LoK -
Hello there Good post. "don't get attached to your loot" applies to the alpha nature/bugs/scripters. In normal play protect it! rgds LoK

Warning to SA's about the "DayZ AdminZ" forum.
OrLoK replied to andreasb's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Hello there, As you were one of the many breaking BF3 for me, I for one can't say your leaving any part of the community is a big loss. Just because Arma doesn't make you want to hack, doesn't mean mean you won't in the future when A2 annoys you and you decide to change your ethos. How about having respect for other players who may actually enjoy a game you do not and don't hack/script em? As for people being careful about throwing around accusations, what on earth do you think you can do to stop people being suspicious of you? You openly admit hacks/scripts in other games, why not this one? Pah. Rgds LoK -

question regarding PMC DLC and textures.
OrLoK replied to Siberian (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there Having the DLC's adds a lot of content to Arma2 itself, so don't feel bad, you;ve got great extra content AND helped a small game studio. Rgds LoK -

Hello there the logo is almost exactly the logo of the AWB, a South African fascist movement. So on that basis I can understand the warning. Rgds LoK edit, fixed name -
Hello all Some of you may know my posts but many not. Here is my "rant" Firstly, I'm not a major fan of Rockets. The way he forms his post often jars me, and I doubt we could be chums down the pub. That said, he has made a rather interesting mod, which seems to appeal to many, myself included. The thing that irritates me is the lack of formative posts regarding said mod. This is a test phase, there are major issues, but however the standalone turns out, we ourselves have the choice whether we join in or not. The recent amount of complaints is astounding. The amount of angst against R and the devs and mods confuzzles me. I personally, have faith in BE. Its not perfect, but then again what is? Why deliver so much rage and angsty hideousness against a game you have enjoyed? If one doesn't like it, then simply do not play. You are participating in an Test phase, you will loose kit etc. I myself don't particularly like the way the game is heading for the stand alone. My solution? I'll play something else if I don't like the format. Why do so many people become "difficult" when thing don't go the way they want? Why flood the forums? If you hate the game, leave. Simple. There are far more real world things going on than this game, rail against something important, like Syria, the illegal war in Afghaistan (imho), third world poverty, poverty at home, lack of decent health care, the list is endless. Yes, Rocket may be a "tool" in ones eyes, but he's given YOU fun. What's the real problem? Get a grip community. Feed back issues and bugs, direct the game into a thing you want. Leave the devs alone, and more importantly don't hassle the mods. AFAIK they're all doing this on their own time for fee. Constructive criticism is cool. ie the lack of dev communication. It's a valid point. Script griefing. That too valid. But give feedback not rants. We have a great opportunity here let's not waste it. Thoughts? Rgds LoK

Yup, you are quite correct Because it's easier for those with low attention spans to read. Obviously it wasn't enough. TL;DR Lulz, Bronies, STBY ad infity

Need someone in the knows help RE texture files
OrLoK replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there Arma2 is a beast to run. Your best bet is to pop over to the BIS forums as there are many many tips for optimising your experience. Many rigs that run other games at high levels just cannot cope with the RV (arma) engine. Don't try to max everything out. IF you still have issues post your specs your settings and your config file here. rgds LoK -
Hello there DAYZ zombies, whilst they will replace civs, will be non violent. Your best bet is to go to the BIS forums or Armaholic etc and download one of the zombie mods. There are many mission and campaigns with them. And they pre cursor DAYZ FYI. Rgds LoK
