Totally agree :D I do believe arma 3 has this and arma 2 has it somewhat?!! Anyway when people die and they add dragging I just want to drag the body of my dead/unconsious friend and see the trail of blood behind it -
Possible Other Ways To Fix Items That Currently Cannot Be Repaired Yet?
thefriendlydutchman replied to Deathlove's topic in Suggestions
guns that get repaired with scrap metal should be really unprecise over 30m though, scopes that would be repaired with scrap metal should either fall off after 10 shots or not have 100% zeroing now ofcourse the more you do it the better your smithing skill gets and the better stuff you can make with it (military helmet reinforced with tin plates made out of cans would look epic though :OO) maybe with a knife you can make plastic bottle strips when combined with scope frame (which is made out of metal scraps) you could make an improvised scope or improvised red dot (with pen) that can be put on most guns except shotguns and is somewhat unprecise also crafting improvised tin plate carrier (wont stop bullets but low tier melee weapons like screwdrivers,hammers hunting knifes etc for a few hits) or be able to craft scrap metal shiff -
Chance pistols and long rifles spawn with empty magazine

10% for sporter 22 to have banana mag though :D then ill be so happy -
As a hero or hunter I would love to see some attachments for the sporter 22 as it is fairly weak (although quite usefull with a banana 30r mag) Ruger 10/22 aka sporter 22 also since the sporter is made to kill rats there should be a 5% chance of the bullet not making an exit wound (so staying in the body) and do a little damage over time to the player if he doesnt take it out with a plyer (another player can take it out with a plyer aswell and that is quicker than doing it yourself) if the bullet is not removed from the body when full health youll be dead in about 15-20 minutes now if there are more bullets in your body you might be fucked

Attachment for the Sporter 22
thefriendlydutchman replied to thefriendlydutchman's topic in Suggestions
lets make it very rare in barracks perhaps, and rare in civilian houses/police stations -
Attachment for the Sporter 22
thefriendlydutchman replied to thefriendlydutchman's topic in Suggestions
Sorry for the double post when I uploaded it it said that I couldnt upload anything for 57 seconds so I figured I had to make the post again -
When in the piano house you're able to scroll at the piano and press ''play the piano'' an animation were the player puts his/her hands on the piano will occur now to stop playing you simply have to walk, but to play you have to press a button for example C = C chord and G= G chord, maybe you can only do this when you read a book about playing the piano (which spawns on the piano sometimes) this will be great for RP opportunities. Now ofcourse if you can actually play piano IRL you might be able to impress your friends or strangers with for example Viva la Vida by coldplay Things like this might occur: ''Its a song me and my boy used to play before the apocalypse happened, o man I miss him but I... I had to he tried to attack m, you see we were burying my wife and he suddenly started to attack me, he... he was bitten but was to proud to confess. He didnt want to see the pain I would go through espaccially after losing mom.'' or in night servers you can build a campfire and create a happy environment with warmth food and drinks and music to forget the end of the world for a second. Edit: instead of walking you scroll and press cancel current action, otherwise you wouldnt be able to play the A and D chord

Attachment for the Sporter 22
thefriendlydutchman replied to thefriendlydutchman's topic in Suggestions
ruger 22 LRS slidable specifically made for the sporter and can scope up to 250m (only spawns in barracks and is quite rare) (the drummag) Bonus: every shot that hits an player there is a 5% chance of the bullet staying in the body (no exit wound) the sporter 22 bullets are small and designed to kill small animals so it would make sense. if the bullet is indeed in the player he has to remove the bullet with a plyer this takes some time (if another player does it for you it will go quicker) now if you dont remove the bullet and youre full health or close to full health (lets say one bullet to the chest with the sporter and you ran) than you will die in about 25-30 minutes if you dont remove the bullet, now if youve got more than one bullet in your body lets say 3 bullets then you got only 10 minutes and 7 bullets is around 5 minutes so you better carry a plyer with you (small chance of taking 7 bullets as you are most likely dead as there is only 5%) -
In the mod you had plotpoles which protected your base from being build on so my idea now is quite similar but with a twist :D As persitence servers are not working that well and are looted up in no time (which encourages server hopping if you've got a base) we should remove persistence servers and instead get persistence poles Persistence poles are poles you can stick in the ground creating an ''persistence zone'' 10 meters around the pole, the pole is easily destroyed so people really need to defend or hide their pole (so you cant just build a base in electro with 4 poles, as it is quite risky) Items and tents (objects) and cars do not dissapear on server restart when in the persistence pole EDIT: a pole will fill up 6x4 so a huge part of your inventory What if you want to build a bigger base?: a standard small pole has 5 slots and starts off with 10 meters so just enough for a tent and a campfire now when you craft the pole (cookingtripod+burlap wrap (kinda looks like a flag) you can upgrade it by adding ducktaped iron pole to the slots which will make the pole higher and so easier to spot so how bigger the base how easier you will see a burlap flag peak out of the trees.

Adding smoke to the fireplace to act as a signal // Way of attracting players.
thefriendlydutchman replied to Bab's topic in Suggestions
if you put books and magazines on the fire the fire should turn green for a second and then create allot of smoke (green because of the ink) -
allot of suggestions, backpack uses, hostage, makeshift tents and more
thefriendlydutchman posted a topic in Suggestions
So I got some suggestions and I got some suggestions by a youtuber named Creditred which i like to post here Ill start with my own: 1. The ability to add backpacks to vehicles with some ducktape and a backpack you can tape backpacks on your v3s, you can tape it at specific slots (only ducktaped bags can be placed in those slots, then you can do view contents to view your items) one shot with all rifles except sporter and trumpet will drop the bags from the car (so someone could shoot the bags of the car and walk to the road and loot the bags) 2 shots with any pistol except p1 and makarov 4 shots with p1 and makarov 2. the ability to store the upcoming barrels in your v3s's back (only if they have a back) 3. be able to sneak up to a player and do this: (but gun to persons head) just like walking with your hands up both you and the player will walk when you press WASD just like handcuffs the person taken hostage can release itself by pressing a button (it will then do a small animation) and the player with the pistol can kill him if he does so with E and Q the person with the pistol can hide his head behind the hostage (if you take someone hostage and a group aims their gun at you) 4. Horde disquise So with the new zombie AI we need a plan to get past zombies Zombie guts is the answer! Yes just like cow guts you can cut up a zombie and put zombie guts on different type of clothes if you wear it to long you will get sick and if you still wear it you will get to red type sick really fast! now why would you put guts on your clothes? if you put guts on your clothes and you walk instead of run you can walk past zombies or zombie hordes IF you do this: your clothes cant be washed so you need to find new clothes the more clothes zombie gutted the less chance of being spotted by a zombie 5. put stick in the ground this way you can put allot of sticks next to eachother to make a short fence (sharp sticks will do damage unless jump over, or break legs) Now some of Credidreds ideas Makeshift Tents: Pretty much can only be made with multiple players carying multiple objects (maybe a small one for lone wolfs) You start with a sheet of blue tarp: with fills up a big part of your inventory you can find these at ''uncommon'' at the construction sites ONLY You can right click the tarp and place it on the ground then, you need 3 sticks either metal poles (stronger tents who can sustain bullets) wooden ductaped sticks (if shot at the tent the tent may collapse, everytime it rains there is a 10% chance of collapsing) than you need to attach another tarp and put it around the tipi you can color it with either: 3 green spraypaint 3 blackspraypaint 2 green and one black for camo you can also camouflage it by adding ghillie wraps to it Megaphone works just like the walkitalkie if equiped you get an extra voice channel which will extend (in one direction not in a circel like normal direct chat) with some megaphone effects added to it. -
A map builder where you have the following: Be able to place buildings Be able to have paint brushes (for grass rock etc) Be able to have height brushes Be able to upload and download your map in a dayz workshop on steam Be able to make percentages of for example: vehicles, military loot, civilian loot etc Be able to have a vegation brush or 2 seperate one for grass and one for trees Be able to download 3d models for your map building in the Workshop Be able to have a spawnpoint brush you can (up to 9 points) place spawns around your map Probably not doable with arma engine :/
-
Also when cars are added be able to put them in cars, maybe be able to lay them on a brancard if you have an ambulance
-
yeah it looks great nice color correction! yeah stuff should be alittle bit more overgrown (not last of us style doe) and be able to get on top and in the trains and there are barrels and tires and stuff as cover ontop of the train,
-
I'm gonna put a banana around my neck :D
-
if you follow the traintracks you get to something similar like this on the end of the rail somewhere inthe middle of the map
-
Title says it all, when they are added they should be rare and only spawn up north it will give people a reason to go there, also some weapons should only spawn at heli crashes.
-
i hate thermal snipers so please don't add them in the future for people that don't know them. try to be sneaky with that in game

And radio that people can host trough green mountains.

Infestation?

Rain, broken bones, zombies, 12 year olds, suicide, communication, melee weapons etc
thefriendlydutchman replied to Hunter4's topic in Suggestions
players should be FORCED to pass a series of tests before being allowed to play the game. These tests would determine their playstyle and match them with other player that play the same way. Categorized into servers. Aggressive 12 year old with aggressive 12 year old, friendly adult with friendly whatever. I think that would make the experience way better for everybody. Everything yes except this, this is just retarded. -
Be able to sneak to someone from behind (the person has to stand still) and press a key like ''h'' then the player if he has a handgun equipped will do the following: if pressed T you will quickly put the guy infront of you (so if someone aimes for your head and tries to shoot you can quickly use the guy as a body shield) at any time the player can kill the guy. cons: - you can only do this with handguns - the guy can try to escape by pressing w for a while - your gun is very inaccurite when you hold the guy (like when your shaking in the mod)

or trowable rags that are set on fire (flares)
