Paxom (DayZ)

huh no biggie now :P If server persistent, dc, wait, get ip from profile, relog, its still there. Its a crash/restart, you are not hopper. There, done. Now run hell, zz.

"I am cold","I am shaking" - both messages are for Light (?) Hypothermia Temperature level, so it no matter, which one you see. Both for the same light brown (beige?) color of cold for your status in inventory. Next are "I am freezing" for Medium (?) Hypothermia (brown?), and "I am hypothermic" next for Heavy/Severe (?) Hypothermia (crimson red?). Thats how I died many times, so I know first hand/nose/heart. Sad face from experience. Running, clothes, wetness, body temperature, air temperature, wind speed, map elevation - all seems have noticeable effect. Rain however does not, it affects your wetness, and not affect you directly. Messages "I am slowly cooling off" "I am cooling off" "I am promptly cooling off" "I am rapidly cooling off" are not messages for any level of Hypothermia, and just cooling process messages, without messages "I am cold","I am shaking" and light brown status "Cold" (or worse) - you are fine.

Hi, thank you so very very much. That was exactly what I was looking for. Some bits fit very nicely in what of my suggestion about this compensating condition. However some not, which effectively means its wrong. My problem is, thats whats working for other players, not working for me, even I have very similar clothes setup, and bright green on food/water/energy/blood/health. So there is something still missing from my attention, something I am doing wrong, or not doing/have. Thats why I am still carrying shit load of crap, 2 axes, stone, books, parers, whole nine yards, to make fires to warm up. In current build, carrying weight is not a thing yet, so it should not matter, I think, I may be wrong about this too. Bottom line, squire one, so please let me make some additional experiments, I will report it if find out something interesting. Thanks again for a very good detailed story.

Hhhmmm, 2 hours, not bad, not bad at all. So, for me it was 2 times, when I reach condition, when internal self-warming compensates external cooling, and stay warm indefinitely, regardless weather/rain/wind/whatever. Both times it took about 12 hours from new fresh spawn, too long for my liking. For you it was just 2 hours, huge difference. So its not time alone. Its not just clothes combo, I was dressed similar, and still suffered from cold freezing. Ultimate goal is of course to put it blindly under 15 min ha ) lol After some heavy thinking/drinking, I do have some suggestion about this condition, I'd like validate a few things, before narrowing it down. Now questions: - How long did you stay near you last fireplace, before compensation takes place? - Do you know, what was your body temperature right after leaving fireplace? - What cooling/warming messages did you see, if any?

Hhmmm, by never freezing, do you mean, right from the start as fresh spawn, or in this particular setup? How long are you in the game, how many hours alive in current life ? I was in Gorka helmet with visor damaged, civic pink/white Balaclava worn, Gorka jacket worn, TTsKO pants worn, about 4-5 hours in current life, and had usual about 15 min timeframe before light freezing and death, environment conditions were changing, not affecting timeframe.

Gas stove + canister didn't work for me, meaning, while ignited, it wasn't warming me up. Could you please share insights for your positive experiences, like what place, indoors/outside, what type indoors building, garage may be, was outside place covered by any sort of roof, did you feel rain when under outside roof, were you dumped/wet/soaked, what environment condition, rain or clear sky, wind, air temperature, did you see your frozen breath, your clothes/boots/masks/helmets and its conditions, your water/food/energy/health/blood/exposure/feet/stomach/heatcomfort/bodytemperature conditions, for how long did you stay alive in current life spawn, what cooling/warming messages did you see, etc., anything else relevant. Any little clue may improve the overall odds.

Well, its entirely possible, that he was dieing from freezing and bare feet damage, didn't see too well, all blur, and was not able find or take shoes even right in front of him. He didn't explain it very well, yes, probably panicking, voice tone could tell its legit, troll, crazy or griefer. How thats could happened: sometimes on relog you loose shoes, pants, backpack and/or some items in backpack. Once I lost this way pants shoes and matches, freezing blur kicks in, was KoSed as suspect no-pants mafia member. Other time I did manage find new pair of badly damaged working boot, saved me from bare feet damage. All gamble, esp if you loose all rags, so I keep some in a jacket, even if they get ruined by zeds very quickly.

How I staying warm enough, consistently. It is positively possible right now :) DayZ SA Stable - 0.49.124971 After new spawn, I have 10-15 min until cold freeze death, rain or not, any type of clothes or server. Warm up I need fire in fireplace outside. To make fireplace and ignite it, I need to find axe, matches, and book/pater/rags/bandages, and no rain. I can make 1st fireplace with any axe, even in badly damaged condition, despite zeds resistance to the very idea. Cosplayers also may not like it, thats different issue obstacle, and any nearby hero may help also, depends. Anyhow, after 1st fire you still have the same very time until next freezing death - 10 to 15 min. You may return periodically to you 1st fireplace, but its limiting you effective range. Problem with your 2nd fire is your axe. If its in worn condition, you are fine. If it is in badly damaged, most likely you will not be able to make 2nd fire, your axe will be ruined in process, and if you far from your first fire, and freezing already, thats most likely means death for you. Only solution I found is to carry 2 axes, one, preferably pristine, to melee zeds, and second would be in damaged condition eventually, to chop fire wood, split for sticks. Melee axe degrade very slow from zeds, and chopping axe degrade very very fast. With damaged axe its very trouble to kill zeds. Also remember, that you have only about 50 hit points for your whole life span. So I need to carry stone to sharpen chopping axe, sometime twice for one fireplace. To mine stone from stone deposit in a quarry, or rock formation, you need to find pickaxe. If you put mined stone near near/in your chest, zeds will ruin it very quickly, and ruined stone is not usable for sharpening axe. So I have melee axe on shoulder, chopping axe, stone, matches and book in a backpack for safety. With all that setup I can make fire first sign of freezing, about every 10 15 20 min in game, in rain more often. Clothes, Gorka, masks, respirators, food, energy, water, whatnot warm server - all no matter for freezing. You may make fire when cold, to start new cold cycle. It is mandatory when light freezing started. In a deep crimson freezing nothing will help you, you dead in a water. What I found somehow very strange, that after about staying this way alive for about 12 in game hours, cold stops bothering me. Any ruined clothes, rain or not, cooling messages continue, but I never get cold or freezing. So I can drop chopping axe, stone, book and matches, free inv space. That effectively means, that sniper campers do not freeze by waiting for you. Palmface. And zed are not spawning around you anymore, if you don't move for long. Bottom line, its hard to stay warm for new spawn, and not for vet.

Well, you obviously missed the part where I explained and demonstrated clearly, that there is no spine damage in DayZ SA 0.49, and why. Again please read main thread, its all very obvious there. I don't want double post.

wrong. I did watch the video, a few times, in the matter of fact, even making notes. please read the main thread about this video and hidden bone stat. Is This A Mechanic Or A Bug? Bone Condition Death...

You have bone damage in 2 places: arms and legs, splint fix. That's it, you don't have spine. And no spine notifier, coz you don't have any spine, you can not fix what you don't have. Yes, on full health, you can be 1-hit killed, by zed or any other very minor damage, happened to me many times. Whats and whys, more info onto subj coming into main bone stat thread, I just don't want any misunderstanding here.

It is. Only its not a bone, spine, or skeleton.

Howdy, are we allowed to paste here DayZ SA decompiled source code bits, to validate/disregard Wobo's findings, in a light of complete silence from DayZ programmers, and general issue importance? Brian's twit about WIP doesn't count, for obvious reason. (Could post my credentials, if needed.)
