I will announce updates here but the detailed informatins will always be given over there at Tunngle to reduce the risk of providing wrong information in one of the forums due to brainlag or whatever. Stay tuned for updates! Current Version: Client Files:V1_3 Server Files (just the mission):V1_0

Hello everyone, I just announced my last work over at tunngle forums. Dayz can now be played on Taviana too. Follow the link for some informations and stay tuned. http://www.tunngle.n...a-new-dayz-map/ Greetz

DayzTaviana is now availiable here: http://www.tunngle.net/community/topic/107701-dayz-taviana-new-dayz-map/ Grab it, play it, tell your friends and give us some feedback to imrpove it.

Hm well I'm done. Didnt knew about him developing. So there is nothing to share anymore :/. Pics and videos will come later tonight!

We got succesfully in contact with PARTYzan the original creator of DayzLingor. As the map maker is currently very busy he is unable to make major modifications to the mod DayZ Lingor and has given Lee full permission to release a new version of the mod that will fully support all the latest server side code and fix most of the issues.

A little heads up: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/99812-what-vilayer-is-about-my-personal-resume/

Hello out there, and thanks to the Moderator who stumbles over this for not merging it with all the other threads so that it does not get burried under the shitstorm, thanks. Many discussions have been around here and on Reddit in the last days about Vilayer and how they rip apart stuff to enlarge their monopol and outcome out of stuff they did not make. Well, as one of the "reasons" for this discussions I was very happy to hear from Vilayer and that they want to talk to me about all of this to clear the things up. Because many people here have taken "my" side or the side of the community and unleashed a shitstorm on HFB, Vilayer and DayZ Commander I felt like sharing the results of the chats and how I see Vilayer now as I was lucky enough to meet Lee, the guy behind Vilayer. So, this is what Vilayer is about in my opinion. Vilayer are a hosting company that offers Servers, not only for DayZ but other games like minecraft etc., never the less they hold a big part of the overall Dayz servers that are out there. But they are more then just a company that benefits from this mod, they actualy give many things back to us, the community of this mod, and not only to their customers, although this suspicion may arise when you hear about them. The problem is that they are not operating in the public yet. They have great dreams and projects they are working on to not only improve their customer service but of all improve the experience we all get when playing dayz. Their plan is to gather all the intelligence, support and work done by the community and done for the community under one name and high standard to bring it to all of the players, This includes map ports, a global hive, new features like traveling between islands, bringing communitys and the players closer together and offering a huge knowledge base and plattform for exchange. This project is called DayzPlanet, some of you may have heared of it, I did not. And this is basically one of the main reasons why this missunderstanding happened. While the team on Lee's (Head of Vilayer) side is working hard to bring this project further they do not promote it. So, all the actions that are taken in perparation of this project like offering maps, the good relation between dayz commander and Vilayer or holding back intel or files have never been associated with the actual reason behind it but have led to the picture we all have of Vilayer, they are a greedy monopolist company. All this misscredit is founded only on the fact that they want to hold a certain high standard and ensure the maximum of joy when playing dayz and hold all the scum like hackers away by not releasing their files to not expose a possible security leak. What I realised when talking to some of the guys at Vilayer is that we basicaly have the same goal, provide fun for the community. We have just taken different ways and failed to communicate about problems that came up in a proper way from the very first beginning. While I regret nothing I did, because I dont deny my feelings, I have to admitt that I was mistaken about what Vilayer is and the reasons of their actions. Of course not everything they did was done correctly but thats the result of missing experience and different ways of thinking about some stuff and not done on purpose thats what I'm sure about now. When you ask me it was good that the "big bang" happened because in the end I'm glad that I could get in contact in Lee and found the truth about what is realy going on there and that they are not the evil company everyone wants to see in them. Of course I cant say anything related to their business because I dont rent a server with them but have my own box. From the human and community side I can say that there is nothing bad about them. I can only ecourage everyone out here who had or has a problem with them to follow Lee's offer and get in contact with him and have a little chat. I personaly will help them with their project by my best of knowledge in the future to improve everyone experience out of DayZ. And to be faster then the next bad troll: No they dont pay me for this and no my head is not in somebodys ass, I was just proven wrong.

Okay okay dudes, something big is rolling here and it's definetly going the wrong way! Let me tell you something about DayZ Panthera/Vilayer/DayZ Commander and my view of this and why this discussion started. I noticed that many people out there are discussing what is not bad but many facts are forgotten and I dont want to see wrong stuff about me/the conflict used as arguments. Let me clear this first. I neither want DayzCommander to be removed, nor do I want Vilayer to be sued or to be gone. Although I personaly dont like their practice many customers are happy with them and they do a good job with hosting servers. Never the less there is stuff I get upset with and I will tell you what it is. I made the Dayz Panther port that was/is released on Tunngle at 28th of September. The port featured newly determined lootspawns for all custom buildings that are introduced by Panthera, and many small changes that made the map work with vanilla Dayz without changing too much of the gameplay. For example adding the ability to refuel your jerry can at fuelstations while their ability to automaticly refuel vehicles is removed. It became quite popular not only for the clients but for servers too. The serverfiles count over 200 dowloads and the clientfiles over 2500, not counting mirrors of communitys that host my files. It took me like three days to figure out how the basics work, what I have to change and how to make dayz work on Panthera Island. When Panthera by Vilayer was released I was just snoopy and wanted to find out what they did and stuff. I didnt bother about the second version in the first time because in my opinion a little competition is not bad to give some extra motivation. Up to that point everything was allright. But I started to get mad when things started to be unfair. So here are the facts that bothered me: -The denial of support for the community version of DayzPanthera from Dayz Commander: -Incompatibility: -Restricting access: -Copyright?! -Code stealing(Not the perfect words but my lack of english skills did not offer a better title) What makes me sad about this is that all this discussions are not necessary at all. Vilayer could have used the already existing port, it would have been okay for me. It was build and ment for the community and this includes everyone that plays Dayz. No matter which hosting company he rents his server off. It would have been even less work for them. They could of course make their own but then under the same conditions everyone makes a mod in the arma2 community. I dont want to say that my port is the ultima ratio. But for me it looks like they dont want somethign everyone can have, they use their monopol to spread their own stuff and make people bound to their services. And again I clearly dont want them to be removed or something, all I did was bringin my anger to their and the communitys attention. With success. That IceBreakr got involved was just a matter of time but the actions he takes are totaly independent from my point. Everything he does is related to his Island. About Dayz Commander, well its a great tool that helped many players to play this game, of all those that just want to consume (not ment to be negative in this case) because arma2 can be confusing sometimes. Never the less, taking others hard work and releasing it under new name is not okay in my opintion. It always suggests that they did all of it on their own, and thats definetly not true. For the future I hope that this kind of problems may not arise again. They are the result of lack of communication and care taken of each other. We all should just have one goal. Enlarge the experience of this great modification and the great Arma series. Currently I'm working on another big project. It will be released at the same place and under the same conditions DayZ Panthera is released. Maybe Vilayer are interested in cooperation on this and we work hand in hand to bring it to the attention of the players. One could learn much of each other. I'm open for it as Teamwork is always the way to go. They are free to contact me about it. If not its okay for me too as long as this bullshit does not repeat itself. One last word. This are facts and my personal feelings about it. You dont like them? Its okay, but dont even bother to reply and bash me, I wont discuss with you. I just want to point out whats going on here before people get a wrong picture of the situation. Many discussions are going on here and on reddit and wherever not but not everything is true. I wont discuss my feelings of this. This was only ment to inform you. I personaly would love to see nobody answering at all but just reading the wall of text and keeping it in mind. But I fear it wont take long for the first troll :/. Meh.

My opinion? Hm not sure if I should tell you or if it may disappoint all the vilayer peons. Well here is the truth about "panthera by vilayer": Dayz was first released on Panthera island at 28th of september not 9. october. It was created for the community and released in the tunngle forums for free and everyone to host and play. It features lootspawns for every custom building adapted mechanics like bottle refill and grabbing fuel at fuelstations to fit the map, something the existing ports never had. Then nearly 2 weeks later DayZ Panthera by vialyer released and guess what, it had lootspawns, something they were never abled to make before. Le me looking up their code, hm nothing else changed, looks fishy, grabs my own code made 2 weeks before and comapres: My own code: class Land_afbarabizna: Residential { maxRoaming = 10; lootPos[] = { {5.24512,5.37036,-4.19494}, {5.20117,-1.52295,-4.22117}, {-2.97363,-1.07031,-4.22117}, {-2.50391,5.43677,-4.22117}, {5.04004,-0.233643,-0.168262}}; }; class Land_fuelstation_army: Military { maxRoaming = 3; lootPos[] = {}; }; class Land_army_hut_int: Military { maxRoaming = 3; lootPos[] = { {1.64453,-5.52002,-1.33056}, {0.53125,1.72607,-1.36391}}; }; class Land_army_hut3_long_int: Military { maxRoaming = 3; lootPos[] = { {-1.72803,-0.726563,-1.23617}, {-2.26416,-4.87402,-1.23617}, {-0.449219,3.71338,-1.23617}}; }; class Land_army_hut2_int: Military { maxRoaming = 3; lootPos[]={ {0.703369,0.560547,-0.948328}, {1.6875,-2.17627,-0.948328}}; }; Their code: class Land_afbarabizna : Residential { maxRoaming = 10; lootPos[] = {{5.24512, 5.37036, -4.19494}, {5.20117, -1.52295, -4.22117}, {-2.97363, -1.07031, -4.22117}, {-2.50391, 5.43677, -4.22117}, {5.04004, -0.233643, -0.168262}}; }; class Land_fuelstation_army : Military { maxRoaming = 3; lootPos[] = {}; }; class Land_army_hut_int : Military { maxRoaming = 3; lootPos[] = {{1.64453, -5.52002, -1.33056}, {0.53125, 1.72607, -1.36391}}; }; class Land_army_hut3_long_int : Military { maxRoaming = 3; lootPos[] = {{-1.72803, -0.726563, -1.23617}, {-2.26416, -4.87402, -1.23617}, {-0.449219, 3.71338, -1.23617}}; }; class Land_army_hut2_int : Military { maxRoaming = 3; lootPos[] = {{0.703369, 0.560547, -0.948328}, {1.6875, -2.17627, -0.948328}}; }; Damn they must be good, they did not only finaly figure out how to make a damn 10 lines of script to grab those spawn positions they also managed to get exactly the same I have, oh wait no its vilayer, they just copy&pasted it and signed this work of 5 minutes with their name. What else. And then releasing it under their name cutting access to the server files so that only guys who rent their servers can use them. Oh well and dayz commander releases their version so of course clients will only use their version. The result, ppl are forcd to rent servers by them if they want to have clients playing that use dayzcommander. Great company :thumbsup: . Much to be proud of with this work. Not. Want to play the community version that is more balanced and advanced? Klick here http://www.tunngle.net/community/topic/97961-dayz-meets-panthera-island-updated-to-version-1-3/ you find a little list of servers in this forum.

Bumpy bump

Up to the top again

Try the other Panthera version availiable here: http://www.tunngle.net/community/topic/97961-dayz-meets-panthera-island-updated-to-version-1-3/ . There are some servers out that host it. I personaly recommend to have a look on DE01 by dayzland.eu . its with whitelist and I never encountered a hack there. Good gameplay. You have to sign up here www.dayzland.eu . Yes they are a german community but very friendly and open minded. Give it a try.

Bloodriki search for your client rpt file. Dunno where it is located, jsut search for .rpt on your machine. Propably answers in that.

I get the feeling that some buildings on the map are shrunken. There is a mini church, in some appartements you always stuck at a wall or something, the barracks,... . Nothing major thankfully. After a few hours of gameplay you know where not to hide when zombies chase you :D

And taking lootspawns out of an already existing panthera port^^

I just supports vilayers version

I dont know whats going wrong there with the helis :huh: . The algorith should normaly prefere flat places. Dunno. Will hopefully find the right screw to turn in the future :D

You have to coyp your arma2 addosn folder in your arma2 oa directory. Beo, did you forward the whole port range? Could cause the not connectable issue.

Hello everyone, many people struggle with half empty servers, of all when running a new map/mod that is not common to other players. Because of that I decided to advertise some Servers here to lure some players :P. - We begin with Dayzland-Community ( http://www.dayzland.eu/ ) this mostly german but very friendly and open to non german speaking players community hosts a whitelisted Panthera Server that is quite midi populated. Admins are present most of the day without abusing any power at all (had some cool matches with them). Just sign-up on the page and follow the steps to be whitelisted automaticly. You can also always find the most recent files on their page. -And my very own. It used a whitelsit till now but I decided to open it for the public. Grab the most recent files at tunngle and connect to 85.10.195.138 Port:6302 or just search for newcommunity in the serverbrowser. Will be outsourced into a seperate thread this afternoon. Serverhosts can PM me here with the details of their server. Get them ppl to play this shit!

http://www.battleye.com/ First entry, suck it up, dont try to cheat again ;) Oh and the second fits your problem too :P.

Right its not our game project at all. Its a mod for a game, nothing more nothing less, this is not a standalone game that got ripped apart and rewirtten, its one of 1000 mods. I understand that Dean wants to keep hand on this, of all with standalone coming in the future as it is his baby, but in fact BIS is not abled to find suitable solutions for the hacking problem and on the other side the DayZ staff is not abled to fix his bugs who can be mad about server owners that payed to host his project go and find their own solutions for the existing problems. The last "Hotfix" was released 1 Month ago, leaving bigger holes behind that make the game unplayable, what is the point of having a server with like 15 ppl on it? The player count is decreasing because official DayZ server are not fun at all. You have the fucking artifacts, tents and vehicles not saving and rampant hackers. All of these problems can be hotfixed when you run your local database. You can make a whitelist, edit your server.pbo to advabnced logging and hacking protection and even fix the fucking save bugs as long as they are not client side. Some server owners even managed to fix the artifacts without editing dayz itself. But all of this stuff is not possible when you want to stick to the holy ruleset of an official DayZ server. There is just no advantage of the Hive as the local database support multiple servers too. You can create your own server network with a small amount of servers, whitelist, modified files to fix the major problem and test this game better than it can be tested on any official server.

Date/Time: 10.05.2012 ~00:00 CET What happened: Set up a Tent and stored some stuuf in it but had to disconnect due to very high server load. After returning to the server 3 hours later the tent was gone. Where you were: On EU1 Server, the Tent was palced in the Woods near stary sobor What you were doing: Played on EU1 waiting for EU2 to restart. *Current installed version: 1.5.6 *Server(s) you were on: EU1/2

Cant tell how retarded you are :D Jump on the train and blame a guy who is realy banned innocent, made my day. Well as said in another thread of you theizzman (stop fucking tripple post what the hell :D) the scripts this ban is based in is legit...

Well the scripts you postet up there hawnji are legal...
