    Outstanding Dayz UI and game design

    Hello there You and I both. Im a Graphic Designer (or used to be as a career) and for me, in my particular field fonts (unlike the creation of them) are on the whole easy to use/manipulate and change. I too found it "odd" that it wasnt a quick fix. But when the reasoning for it was explained I could see why it wasnt. I just cant for the life of me remember what it was. Have a search of the forums If you dare, Im positive it was addressed here publicly. Rgds LoK

    Outstanding Dayz UI and game design

    Hello there At the moment the font is "hardwired"/deeply embedded in the code. When it first came out I ranted at R that "its a simple font change!!111!!!" He took a deep breath and explained in detail exactly why it isnt a quick fix. Unfortunately, I have the memory of a small tangerine and have forgotten the details. Suffice to say, the devs are aware and so dont get too hung up on fonts and suchlike. Ideas are always welcomed though as are all the mock ups of the DAYZ GUI, we've had quite a few thrown at us. And I do appreciate the time and effort folk have put into em. Rgds LoK

    Outstanding Dayz UI and game design

    Hello there The issue I have with most modern Game's GUI's is the inventory system. We're still essentially using the same concepts that we were in the 80's and 90's. Its time to move on. For me, object handling and the inventory need to be completely rethought not just made to look pretty and have "boxes" in which items are held. Obviously there are limitation in time and cost but i would adore it if DAYZ could pioneer yet another aspect of gaming. Rgds LoK

    Outstanding Dayz UI and game design

    Hello there "Simple" GUI changes are not as easy as you think. Expect changes to the GUI as we progress, dont think its going to stay as an "it'll do" piece of engineering. Rgds LoK

    Unable to locate a running instance of Steam.

    Hello there Steam likes to annoy us everynow and then. Its it's hobby. Close down steam and ensure its not running any other processes. After a relaunch it should work. Log off yer PC as well if you feel you can stand the wait. I usually find its a steam game that hasnt shut down properly. Rdgs LoK

    Use scopes without guns

    Hello there On the whole Mos1ey is right in many cases. It purely depends on the type/power/etc scope etc. It can be done As Mc_noob drunkenly points out, but mainly scopes arnt great substitutes for binoc and monoculars in my limited experience. However, as an in game thing, it might be a fun mechanic. Rgds LoK

    Improve Map-orientation

    Hello there Ive never uses a compass in game and regularly get lost, but it is fairly east to navigate off landmarks as the environment isnt too massive, especially with the increase of villages/new buildings. I think implying that Max is a troll is a bit harsh, I too did not initially understand OP. As to having proper orientation tools though, Id like to see them added. *hugs* for max. Rgds LoK

    Hello there Dont quote me on this, but there were rumours of letting folk create their own maps and mods at a MUCH later date. Gotta finish the game first. Cant add it now, too much will change.. Rgds LoK
