True that.. I had no luck accesing pathfinding functions still. There are functions to add waypoints, cycle them etc. but still, no function loop for getting positions on navmesh and making AI move to them. My last resort will be using the method explained here:

I've been looking for this for days yet I can't figure how do zombies (and other entities maybe) use pathfinding and navigating throught the terrain. Specially the function handling it.

I believe there are some useful functions like pathfinding and AI fsms in that config yet it's binarized and we can't access them.

i just wanted to thank to the devs because being an unhappy player since 0.59 and i stopped playing last year because of work. but now i come back and see many changes and stuatus reports with updates and i decided to give it a go. new zombies are awesome, now you feel youre shooting real zombies, not some buggy minor annoyances. gunplay and melee combat somewhat needs to improve. it feels alot slow paced, and requires little reflexes or talent. new spawn of containers with loot and loot from zombies are some good ideas and pve play of the game is more reliable than before, but needs base building system completely integrated (like epoch mods). but coming after a year, i can say i like where this game is going despite my thoughts earlier, because player interaction was a thing (other than shoot on sight), and i think we will have better dayz when hits beta.

i played 0.60 and enjoyed it, everything was ok in my book but i got bored short time after. i think i'll be back when modding support begins and someone makes wasteland kinda mod

i dont play this game too much but i think all the cities and buildings in chernarus look and function the same. game has huge map but it feels like playing in the same place wherever you go . there are no elevational or geographic changes, or big mountains except north of the map. there should be some high mountains where you get cold if you go, or higher ones where its all snowy. then some areas with "fall" theme where most of the time it rains. some hills and cliffs with caves and some wildlife like wolfs and bears in certain areas that can be danger zones. some past warzones with dead bodies and burned trees and ditches, indicating that a war or the zombie breakout thing has happened. some roads should be full of wrecked cars and end with army roadblocks surrounded with dangerous wildlife. maybe some places where atomic bombs fell or chemical weapons used so you get poisoned if you dont go without a gas mask. there can be lakes and rivers, some dried lakes like it is in arma 3's map that is a flat space with no trees or grass. some burned forests and cities so that players can think " i am certainly in this area of map because there is no place like it" .

well at least there was a hold up and you had some action .. most times its just you are dead screen for me, out of nowhere.

same here. last weekend i had plenty of free time and i played dayz in one of the empty servers. i fight zombies, make campfire, catch fish and cook etc... did many of the survival things and actually i enjoyed it. i was roleplaying a lone survivor and it was enjoyable because of the open world sandbox thing of dayz. but when i hop into 50 player server all that magic is gone because i just feel that only point is killing as many as you can. the reason im for single player mode is that players would still be able to roleplay, while performing their heroics on other survivor ais, or just train for pvp matches.

as a modding fan here i dont want modding for this game just cause extra military rifles or cars. i came this game from arma 3 and ive seen enough "military" and "car" stuff. in arma 3 you're a killing machine with wide range of weapons, without humanly needs. in dayz you're a human being trying to survive. i play this game for its "civilian" and "survival" feeling. i dont even try to find military gear loot, im ok with my taloon backpack and black hoodie most times. i only want this game to be modded because i dont want to play this game on multiplayer, because when multiplayer i cant roleplay. sure this game is about "player interaction" etc.. but most times player interaction in dayz means getting shot in the back. because of that i feel like im playing counter strike, i dont care what my character needs. instead, i rush weapons and try to kill first person i see, until i starve to death ... im dreaming about this game when workshop support begins there will be single player modes where you can play on your own. sure, there will be servers like you said but still, there will be unmodded servers running the base game, which you can play if you want.

true but, its death either way, if i search for food without rushing guns and ammo, some armed player kills me. if i dont, hunger or thirst kills me. one time i played i thought: ok.. i will survive this time. i had looted for hours and had many food and water items in my backpack. then i saw an armed guy far on the road, he saw me too and when i tired to run, bam... im dead. i was thinking, maybe if i didnt waste time taking everything i find and rush guns and ammo instead, maybe i had some luck against that guy. but still, guns are ok to find but i cant find any kind of ammo to defend my self so i can start searching for food etc.

almost all sessions i play, all my characters starve to death while trying to find some ammo to defend my self. i look almost every building, police stations, fire stations, with one of my characters i checked 2 airfields. i come across many kinds of weaponry like mosins, aks, sks but still, not even a single bullet. then i give up and suicide somewhere. is there someting im missing playing this game? or is this a normal thing and people who has guns with ammo really give their time searching? i feel like, there is only one or two houses with ammo loot, in whole chernarus.

that's true. maybe little diffrence is that players sometimes retreat when they have disadvantage while ai just fights to death. i played daizy 2018 for arma 2 too and i can say that i had some great time trying to survive there. be it survival mechanics or ai bots trying to kill you, i was just enjoying because i had the control of the gameplay. the ai in arma 3 is more advanced than some of the dayz players i came across. thus dayz being a survival game, i think ai can be scripted to survive too, giving players some forgiving action while they either roleplay or train for pvp matches.

that's the only thing that hypes me now

ive been dreaming about this for a long time. i played many post apocalyptic survival style games like fallout series, stalker series and so on. but dayz has something diffrent about it. maybe its about its really big map, realistic scenes, whatever it is, it really gives me the feel that i am alone and need to survive. when i play dayz i usually go empty servers to roleplay myself. sometimes i dont even care where i go. just looting and killing zombies while getting geared up is ok for me. but when i join a server with 50 players, all that magic is gone because of knowing that if i go to cherno ill be shot from back by someone who wont even bother to take my gear. i know that the thing about dayz is feeling you could be shot from back anytime. but when it becomes a pvp it takes away all that roleplaying. its the same things as trying to roleplay when playing counter strike. its obviously stupid because its a pvp environment. i set all the graphics settings to lowest possible to get more fps then game looks like crap. sometimes i dont even bother picking up that crunchin crips cereal or box of nails, instead, i rush big cities, find a gun and some ammo and try to kill first person i see. i do it because it is what it is. last time i played alone i enjoyed many survival aspects of the game that i wasnt aware of when pvping, like cooking, crafting, or hunting. i think those are well thougt mechanics but its all ignored when you go pvp and rush weapons to just kill someone. the reason why i want a single player version is that players can still roleplay, while performing their heroics on other survivor ais. i think it is not a hard thing to achieve considering modding community that bi has. you can just host your own server with 50 ai in it while all of them scripted to survive, just like you. there are rumors that there will be, but no idea when, or how. http://www.pcgamer.com/dayz-single-player-mode-and-server-hosting-planned/ cheers, jazzraill
