    Reduce running speed by increments as vehicles are introduced

    N1Z1 uses a system so much faster then ours. Heck you can jump off all over the place to avoid being shot like a bunny rabbit. The speed is equal to or faster then we currently have. The same applies to many MMO games to date. I am still testing the times from point A to point B will post back the results. Still think the run speed should be left alone, but that's me.

    Tech help

    Graphics change, so does age of laptops. It is very possible the graphic limits are being made because your laptop has been overheating for awhile. Things do diminish with age, such is the thing with our pocketbooks. Run temp checks. And or add a nice big fat custom cooler underneath this.

    Userlist, Ban.txt, etc.

    Thanks Riddler, glad you guys are taking all the steps to protect gamers. And on that note I just remembered to download fraps again, man that's been years since I used that program. Wish we didn't have to, other then for uses of media, not hack detections. In the future I hope the tools start allowing us to monitor things a little differently, then we can submit it for VAC bans. "Would be nice if we have a standard of collection and guides to submitting documents to the correct people." Videos are sometimes edited so it wasn't enough proof, however screenshots from a custom program that the dev.'s approve would have time, date and server info embed into the Screenshot so it was enough proof for a Complete VAC ban. Such as the hacks you see in u tube would show up in a screenshot. The rest of the changes being made in game would auto kick them for MD5 adjustments.

    NO I would be extremely happy having the map 4 times bigger and 4x as many players but keeping the run speed the same. It feels normal to me. As in any other games considering the size of the map. to get from point A to point B. Which is where I come across as being relative to the map size. Run speed + distance = fun factor in my opinion. As for speed relative to map size, are you convinced it isn't correct? because you just said yourself slow it down. Speed = faster due to map size (I don't want it to be 4 hours to the end of the map) Speed = slow due to real life speed. (you apparently want it to be 4 hours to the end of the map) Seems we are both on the same page, just not exactly sure what = run speed. I think its perfectly correct at this speed, due to other games that have been played by everyone. What this is going to do to the game is force everyone to sit in Cherno, fight it out and say screw that I am not running all over the map ill sit in cherno. Then the numbers will decrease due to boredom. (this is the area I hope it doesn't go) The 10% that wants to slow it down, when 70% might be fine with it. Whom do you go with? the majority that pay the bills. This is not WW2online folks and it died a fast life too, same speed btw. Took too long to get across the map so they made command login spots. See......my point. People get bored if it takes too long to get somewhere. If you have something new and exciting then maybe people will be ok with the speed but right now, all I see and hear is how long it takes to get anywhere just to see the same cloth shirt drop. There is no goals, and that's important. Either its a shooter FPS game with zombies or its a survival game with a few zombies that we as players turned into a FPS game, which is it? If you build your so called base 20-30 minutes away, a group of us will go all at once to destroy it. Anymore time spent running and you start to lose group members. Nobody is going to venture out to the woods to go find your little camp fire. This is what I am getting at, its boring.

    Are you guys copying Dayz Mod or making it a different game with new features? I don't know what the mod speed is, but it seems fine. Its horrible enough to keep holding W and Shift to run all the time. Bursts of stamina + W + shift wow making it even more complex. Still I think its fine, and hope the changes don't go into beta either.
  6. One thing I need to add. If a server is set to 3am, 7am, 11am and 3pm, 7pm, 11pm est the server will sometimes send out messages 1 hour ahead of time. so the settings are 23.50 to correct the 11pm message. where on earth would that happen in vilayers setup. It maybe the same for others. Could this be a Mtn time zone setting somewhere else?

    Definitive launch parameters, devs please confirm

    Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for to confirm a couple of things for other players.

    Reduce running speed by increments as vehicles are introduced

    Never played arma 2, but this one since .51 and I believe it works just perfectly concidering the total map size. To reduce the speed of a burst move or full out running reduces many abilities of that character. So many factors are effected what you guys are suggesting. Towns maybe close, but to run from one end of the map to another doesn't take 20 minutes it takes 1-2 hours end to end. By the time you cross over hills, get drinks, food, staying warm, zombies etc... you have spent 1-2 hrs of game time. If your going from north east to south west following the map that way could take even longer on a populated server. If your a treehugger and love to live in the trees then it might take you less time because your not so much stopping to check your rear. If the suggest topic is to exploit the slowness of the character, in forms like sniping people easier then I am not in favor of the suggested topic. 20 minutes still is very low in game time. I think facts are a tad off here, and to post correct facts you need to run it north to south, and east to west in order to get the exact time in real life. So why I say run speed is relative to the map size. Its a very big map. How much exploring do you really want to do? look under that tree, see the birds fly over head or just camp in the forest. Everyone has different game play examples. But I will run it, and time it and report my findings. I need new ghille parts anyways :) But poll it up and see if the %/masses of dayz players enjoy the game to go even slower.
  9. The old system works on mine. Vilayer.com used this for me. It actually is different that that too. For it to work correct you will have to do this. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> < ?xml-stylesheet href="acs.xsl" type="text/xsl" ?> <Scheduler> http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/217781-scheduler-server-reboots/ hope that helps, sorry or I would have linked mine to yours awhile ago and showed the difference in scripts. This is direct from Vilayer btw... I know I reported it and got help with it by them.

    Not everyone wishes to be tree humpers. Not everyone wishes to be sniped 1000miles away, oh wait I cant run away..... Not everyone has 15 hrs of game play to meet up with friends. Not everyone has a vechile to find, wait its spawned up north... Not everyone wishes to sit in cherno waiting to kill the next person. Run speed should not be changed its relative to the map size. If you guys wanted turned based board games by all means have fun... But I still say its fine and NO

    Server Admin: Loot Not Spawning : How to varify?

    The server is Persistence ON You have to uninstall persistence, and reinstall it. My server op said to do this if loot is not spawning. Its a known bug. So pack up those tents :( if those even work.

    Reduce running speed by increments as vehicles are introduced

    No, I don't think it should be changed at all. The running speed is relative to the size of the map. It already takes long enough to go from one end to the other. Trucks still will be a lucky find, and not everyone will want to drive a vehicle due to a 2nd weapon they are carrying. Sorry but I feel its more then fine.

    Great read, Gogo Gadgets!!! -"Your Dead"-rip Punisher5795 lol

    scoped fov locked, normal fov adjustable

    And the amount that is going on can cause that too. I remember someone actually having seizures many years ago in MMO game called EQ. So they posted warning that it could cause seizures. I feel uncomfortable with some of the FOV settings, its distorting it. Makes me feel like puking, then I put it back to 50% maybe

    Userlist, Ban.txt, etc.

    Like stated before, you better have really god proof before banning someone on public shards or ill call them Half price shards lol You can not just go around kicking players, or banning them if you want it kept, our grey police are running around I've been reading.

    I know an workaround for character reset in 0.52

    Mookie, your correct some of those public servers seems to be in limbo and don't actually sync. especially any with 0/50 or 1/50
  25. sneakydudes

    I know an workaround for character reset in 0.52

    Its a networking issue not disconnecting the server from the database right away. So when you suggest exiting the game completely its just actually saying to the database you have disconnected. The database still logs where and when you logged off for the day. If its disconnecting and a new spawn shows up chances are in my best opinion its because your where desyncing at the time it was trying to get your character information. It couldn't so it placed you as a newly fresh spawn. Basically you are called XXX thrown into a pool until your next save. So yes hes correct in exiting the game completely to say to the Database and game your completely logged off. I've tried your method but I think I ran around bitching about no gear, didn't bother me so I continued as oh well. When I tried to follow the disconnection / exit out of the game it didn't work so the key here.... is Don't move around, exit out and redo the game login. It might help. It didn't for me the once, but ill experiment with it when it happens again for some of us. Thanks for bring this up, might save someone the time redoing gear runs. Sneaks
