AFAIK loot will not cycle if you are near it. I've had times like that where there was a loot pile with something in it my mate wanted and had to stand there guarding it till he came. We've also done the same when one of us has died. We create/find a loot pile and put all their stuff in it so they can come and pick it back up again.

I don't know what's so special about it, apparently people keep it in their backpacks because it is so rare. I found one in a church in my first 10mins of playing and just drank it. My mate thinks they are worth something because they are rare, I just laugh at him, they are just like any other drink. They do exactly the same thing. Apparently there is some tracker somewhere that logs how many people have Mountain Dew in their pack. I think it was only .5% of people playing have one. So if you are looking for rare items to waste bag slots on then pick it up. Maybe you will find some secret club and you can only get into it by having a MD in your pack, who knows.

In this game vehiclular homicide does not count as a murder, if you run over zombies your count will not go up either. I've had a few times I have killed people and heard the flies but have not received a murder out of it. I just put it down to being a bug, I wouldn't be too worried about it, it doesn't change anything, the heartbeat sensor is way buggy at the moment. I can look at my mate who has 0 murders and my heart races, he looks at me when I have 4-5 and doesn't hear a thing.

Yeah at 1am AEST an Apache flew over our camp and destroyed our vehicles and killed me. We lost a white Hilux, a bus (which we were doing public transport runs in) and a Ural which took us all day to find and fix. Managed to save the ATV and my mate made it out of there with my gear thankfully. Pretty annoyed about it though, a good three days of work down the drain. Not including the 20+ Barracks and Heli Crash site weapons and 200 slots in the Ural full of Meds, Ammo, Tents, etc etc. We were set for life nearly. I don't know the name of the hacker because the server is Veteran. Also that hatchback was at Berezhino exploded and when we went to the NW airfield earlier that day there was a Chinook and a tank. Two people were flying round in a little bird and apache as well. I knew Enigma was a hacker I saw him on NZ9 in the same hatchback on Saturday. Saw him on NZ10 yesterday. Although he's a hacker he's not a douchebag one that just does stuff to ruin the game like blowing up the server and stuff. Can't say the same for the others though.

Veteran server so no tags or message about who killed me. Guess the only way would be to get a mod to check the logs but I'm not a mod of that server and I don't know one. Really sucks because it was a good server for my friends and I in regards to play times and pings/amount of players. We worked really hard for the last three days gathering materials and risking our necks for weapons and to just have it all taken away like that is maddening. We really wanted that to be our home server, we aren't hoppers and are looking for somewhere to settle down :(

You fixing hackers in this update? This is the third time I have been killed by an apache when I cannot do anything about it. We also lost the Ural I spent all day fixing with a heap of weapons from NW airfield and Stary. Close to 200 slots of ammo plus 20+ high level weapons my mates and I have been collecting for the last 3 days gone. The bus we were using to do public transport runs along the coast and a white Hilux. He's just flying around the map with the vehicle radar blowing up any vehicle he can find and killing all the players. This was on NZ 10 at 1am AEST. To compound issues a week ago a nuke went of on NZ 9 and killed everyone in the server, another three days of time lost when that happened...it's pretty frustrating and I'm kind of at the point of just staying in Cherno killing everyone I see because I know that if I get anything better a hacker will come along and ruin it.

I agree with the 3 day respawn suggestion. As it stands vehicles are not being used for what they are. The way I see it they are supposed to be driven around to get from place to place. Rocket either needs to change the spawn timer for inactive or out of map vehicles OR he needs to change what they are. At the moment they are being used as permanent tents due to their ability to hold items. If he could switch that tents were permanent even after a death but despawned after a week of non use. Then make it so vehicles couldn't hold items, or a very limited amount for repairs then this would be a great improvement in my opinion. I feel that while many people will be angry about the change it will be better overall. It will give the chance for more people to use vehicles for what they were actually intended. I am not incapable of finding vehicles, I spent 12 hours yesterday running from the NE side of the map all the way around to the SW side of the map yesterday. I found alot of vehicles and tent cities and wrote down the co-ords for each. I'm half tempted to just get in the vehicles and drive them around the map until they explode but I would feel bad about someone losing their hard earned loots. It's not the players fault that vehicles are such good permanent tents that they horde them. It's the devs fault for making them that way.

Just wondering if you saw the latest beta build for Arma II: [93958] New: Dropping items while swimming can be disabled with "enableItemsDropping = 0;" in description.ext This would help with people spawning in the ocean from changing cammo, is this something that needs to be done serverside or clientside?

How do I rollback to 1.7.1.1? I installed 1.7.1.2 and the servers I am playing on are now reverting. When I join the server I am getting no debug menu and am invisible to zombies. The middle of the screen flashes black telling me I have the wrong version. The problem is that 1.7.1.1 has been removed from the file list in the downloads section and I don't think I have it backed up on my computer anywhere.

Hey guys not sure where to put this but I got a quick question and this seems like the place. So for starters there's the obvious "I don't run scripts and I don't use hacks" but a couple of days ago I got kicked from a server for a "restricted script 18" or something like that. It hasn't affected my game and I can still play on the server but with the new BEC I'm just a little worried that it's going to cause an issue. To compound issues my mate just got kicked off a server for "restricted script 38" (or maybe it was 18 I dunno I didn't see the error). What exactly does this mean? I know for a fact he doesn't have any scripts or hacks installed because I live with him and I installed the game for him lol. Would this have anything to do with my local ban on a server I did nothing wrong on? They said they had issues where people were getting banned for no reason? I realise you aren't the server admins but I figure that being the creators of the mod you would know exactly what is going on? Cheers for the replies.

Yeah sweet as, I'll get my group to do that as they all followed my instructions on how to install the beta patches. I was just downloading them from the website http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php I think the last one we installed was 93825 (the most current one).

Yeah definitely broken. Heading out of a factory with no zombies around. One zombie was stuck in a wall and we couldn't kill it. Kept crouch walking out of area, zombie decides he wants to come out of wall and attack my friend. My friend shoots him, apparently 10 zombies decided to chase from all over the area. Kill them. Another 10 instantly spawn and aggro on us. Kill them and prepare to leave as zombies have respawned (again). Try using smoke grenade as cover, zombie comes for mate instead of chasing smoke grenade. Kills mate. I leg it. They also seem to be double spawning, you kill one and another will respawn to take his place but there are two identical zeds that spawn. They move in the same direction and follow the same pathing.

Date/Time: 17/06/2012 9:45pm AEST. What happened: I looked around and saw zombies spawning as twins. When one spawned a duplicate would spawn and head in the exact same direction like they were conjoined twins. So we decided to GTFO. We were making our way out of the area after looting and clearing the area of zombies. There was a zombie spawned inside a wall, it was aggroed on us but we couldn't shoot it and it was stuck, as we left the area it chased my mate. We shot it and 10 zombies spawned from all over the area and aggroed on us. We killed them and another 10 spawned aggroed on us. We killed them barely and recovered. Went to throw a smoke grenade as the zombies had respawned in the area (again) and a zombie aggroed on my mate instead of chasing the grenade and killing him. Where you were: Factory in between Polana and Orlovets What you were doing: Leaving the area. *Current installed version: 1.7.1 *Server(s) you were on: ANZ #4 *Your system specs: N/A *Timeline of events before/after error: Moved into the area and cleared it, bug happened, then legged it after my mate died.
