Github is a solid resource for DayZ modding and custom scripts. I can't vouch for the module(s) in Da0ne's repo, but I've seen plenty of folks reference it for various functionality. Below is a link directly to what appears to be their 'InfectedHorde' event implementation. https://github.cm/Da0ne/DZMods/blob/master/mpmissions/DayZSurvival.chernarusplus/ScriptedMods/Modules/ServerEvents/InfectedHordes.c

Yeah, it's as follows verbatim: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus, map_eu, dayz_anim, dayz_code, dayz_communityassets, dayz_weapons, dayz_equip Nothing matching those patterns turns up anywhere on my drives. Haven't found a way to obtain files in any official capacity. Tried several 'COPY THIS FOLDER TO THAT FOLDER' instructions out there on the interwebs. Also tried the different Properties > BETAS options. Feels like maybe I need to stand on my head while the game installs or something.

I get an error claiming I'm missing a bunch of DayZ specific files, both with and without the DayZ Launcher app. The files listed lack extensions or location information, and none appear to exist anywhere on my system. I plan to try reinstalling all the Arma II/OA stuff once the issues they're having are resolved. Must just be us new folks having the issue.

Looks like things are busted following the most recent patches. Though, I can see some players on servers in the lists. Can anyone in the know do an updated 'What it takes to play DayZMod' thread once all the dust settles? From what I've read it sounds like the various 'Launchers' are abandoned projects. They tricked me with the 80% steam sale - back to Standalone for me.

I killed my first real player character in DayZ today. It perhaps could have been avoided had I just turned and ran away, the person only had a pick axe and clearly just re-spawned same as I. We both entered a small military outpost at the same time with absolutely no visible gear on either of us. He followed me around, first asking where I was heading, to which I responded 'No where in particular'. I mentioned there was plenty of loot in the buildings I had already scoured, lacking a pack to carry it all. He proceeded to request 'we be friends' and continued to follow me, stating this same question in increasingly facetious ways, just like those silly youtube videos you see when you search DayZ. I would 'alt+look' over my shoulder and often see him drawing his pick axe, but I did not stand still long enough to allow him an opportunity to strike. This all occurred over approximately 3 or 4 minutes - I intentionally did not pick up some very lucrative items, like a backpack which neither of has had obtained yet, to observe his behavior and interests. Who, without a pack, would not grab one? Once I felt his interests were predicated more on myself than his own survival, the next corner I turned I drew my ice pick and aimed for his head as he came around the corner. I did not offer him a warning, ask him his intentions, or respond to his request to be friends - Unless of course, you consider the icepick to the face my answer. With all of that said - with 'Etiquette' as a component of your insight into my tale, what say you?
