What you're talking about (which the engine does a bad job of) is called occlusion culling.

I let someone live after holding them up.

I think someone should post this to the feedback tracker with proof.

Is that the M1 Garand?

Old school DayZ meant that the AS50 was the best sniper in the game. (: We're going to setup a 1.7.6 server which had the thermal scopes, AS50 and M107 found at helicopter crash sites within the next few days, completely vanilla 1.7.6. If you're interested please reply back.

Leather sewing kit.

waste of time tho m8

You don't need military items though. People feel the need for an AK or M4 but they're a waste of time. I've gotten way more kills with civilian weapons and only 2 kills with an automatic weapon.

Is that a police car?

You're the one being stubborn, br0. My point was that 7.62x39 needs to be more common, as common as 7.62x51, in regards to where it spawns, around Chernarus.

No. The only places which aren't on the west side that I have found 20 round boxes of calm bear 7.62x39 is the police station (that's if it hasn't been picked clean by server hoppers), the industrial sheds (again, server hoppers) or the UAZ jeeps. However, they're really rare - which they shouldn't be because there is plenty of soviet guns lying around the map which take the same caliber. I have been lucky enough to find loot exploded teddy bears and I found lots of boxes of ammo that way.

I'm not talking about strip clips or magazines, I'm talking about the normal 20 round box of 7.62x39mm.

Not to mention that the broken loot spawning system isn't helping with finding anything either.

No. That is 7.62x51, which ammo for the Mosin. 7.62x39 is military buildings only. The amount of people who don't know their calibers is too damn high also since 0.49 they no longer spawn inside homes or residential areas, only light military, such as the UAZ wrecks, police stations and the other military buildings (ATC, Jail).

7.62x39 does not spawn in houses. You're getting confused with 7.62x51. 5.56 is more common simply because more people leave it behind, as I assume more people would have an AKM than a AK101, M4A1 or Steyr AUG.

- M4 ammunition (5.56x45) is more common around the map, - More people pick up 7.62x39 boxes (which fits the AKM and SKS, etc). - M4 has less recoil than the AKM

- Manually reloading everything, there comes a point between realism and being a game. - Can't just add more bullets(top off the bullet amount) to the gun, you have to eject the bullets and then put more in. - Can't just drag the bullets out the gun, forced to use "eject" which will place the ammo in the highest position of your inventory.

I for one think that the current vanilla mod is awesome except for the over-powered zombies. I've had people say "they're not overpowered" and I just suck at the game, but they literally are. The zombies are annoying because; - does a shit load and unrealistic amount of damage - if you're too close they'll repetitively hit like three times every second - a zombie has a 100% chance to hit you while you run past it

Actually I agree, but maybe 24 hours is a bit harsh, how about 48 hours? Also I believe you're the same person on reddit, aren't you? :D

Persistence should clear everything on restart, except tents, backpacks and guns and spawn new loot. It simply doesn't do that yet. EDIT: Oh dear me I've double posted.

You should post a ticket when work resumes back in Prague at the feedback tracker about the spawn system, they might adjust it to your desire if it seems necessary. I do think that 7.62x39mm should be a civilian cartridge, the rifle, the SKS is everywhere as a civilian spawn.

Just found a PU scope in a corner pub. Will trade it if you're willing.

I have a big issue with the loot spawns at the moment, because, the ammo for some guns are only found at military places, yet the guns can be around across the map. For example - The SKS and CR527 Carbine is everywhere, the boxes of 7.62x39 is only at ATC, Jail, Barracks and other military places - The CR75 and P1 is everywhere, yet the boxes of 9mm is the same as above (which takes 9mm) - The Derringer and 1911 is everywhere, yet the boxes of .45 ACP is the same as above (which takes .45 ACP) I know this is still alpha and loot isn't balanced, but seriously, this is what I'll like changed. - The 7.62x39 boxes have a chance to spawn where every other civilian ammo spawns - The 9mm boxes have a chance to spawn where every other civilian ammo spawns - The .45 ACP boxes have a chance to spawn where every other civilian ammo spawns
