Hey, guys! I was messing around in the database on my server (DayZ Server Control Center) and I realized that I don't know what most of it's for. I would like to learn more so that I can tweak it. I played on a server that had base building, walking zombies, and a custom spawn selection. It was really cool and I would like to add some similar things. Would any of you know of a good tutorial that explains what everything is for? Also, how do I get the debug monitor to show up? Thanks in advance! :-)

Yeah, I knew about the resets... I was answering someone else. I did read the status report... I was just reiterating. I also saw the video on Trello about the new zombies. :-)

I'm sure they'll reset the characters because of all the loot issues. I honestly wish they would just wait until they have the zombies worked out to release another update... DayZ is a game based around zombies and it's extremely boring without them. I haven't played in weeks...

Well, depending on what you are trying to do, DayZ Server Control Center is pretty simple. :-) http://dayzcc.org/

EDIT: Never mind. :-)

Haha :-) I suppose I had that one coming. It's ironic because I was just thinking about that website. Anyway, thank you! I wasn't really wanting to learn how to write scripts, but maybe I was just overthinking it and thus I didn't search for a scripting tutorial. The internet is such a broad spectrum of knowledge. It can sometimes be hard to find the right thing without some guidance. :-) EDIT: Thanks for moving my thread to the right place... sorry about that.

Hey, guys! I've been playing 1.8.6.1 for a little while and it's pretty fun, but it's a bit difficult to find loot on some servers. Anyway, I haven't played the mod very much... I've mostly played DayZ Standalone. With that being said, what is your favorite version of the mod thus far? Thanks and I look forward to your input! :-)

Thank you! :-)

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question, but what is the mission file used for? I'm pretty sure that it's for servers, but I just want to make sure. :-)

I found the black/red one and it definitely looks awesome! It'll be great when and if we get the pants to match. :-)

Yeah, it's very frustrating. I cannot even access the tires. :-/ Do any of you know what's up with Rify? Half of it is inaccessible and weapons are not spawning there like they once did. Also, have any of you had issues with improvised knives? I always have problems with them when I first craft them. If I try to move it, it takes up two slots and then I have to log out and log back in to fix it.

Well, I sorta tested that. I flipped a V3S and I tried blowing it up to see if that would just get rid of it in general, but I had no luck with that so then I just took off all of the tires. The server restart and all of the tires were replaced, but the truck was still on its side. I left it alone and did my thing. However, the next time I logged in... it was upright. I am thinking that someone else must have rammed it with their V3S, but maybe the second restart fixed it. Anyway, I was then able to drive it and what did I do? I wrecked it. Haha :-) I tried to fix it with a tire repair kit, but I couldn't even access the wheels. I stashed it in some trees and now the tires are fixed, but I certainly can't drive it. :-/

I have a V3S that is COMPLETELY messed up. It appears to be fine, but it won't go past 5 km/h and I cannot do anything to the tires. Any ideas?

How do you blow up a V3S?

Thank you! I saw that info about tents, but I didn't know if it was implemented yet. I'm also unsure about the time being reset if you access them. That's my thinking, too! I always see a few V3S's around the map. I searched it a bit, but no info was current. Fifteen sounds right since they are planning to increase it to thirty in the next experimental. They DEFINITELY drive better! I also like how you have to find a glow plug and truck battery. I hope those don't dissipate over time. Oh, and knowing that your V3S will be completely fixed and full of gas after a server restart is nice, too! I hope they add another way to flip them over, though. :-)

Good work on this update, guys! This is definitely the best update in a while. :-) It'll be cool to see how it plays when you guys add the zombies back. Speaking of zombies, do any of you know how many we can expect to see around the map in the future? I also like that almost every building is now accessible. While I'm here, I have a few other quick questions. Are tents now persistent after server maintenance? How many V3S's are there per server? Thanks in advance! :-) EDIT: I only had two questions. Haha :-)

Yeah, I agree and like I said... I don't think there is actually a benefit to it other than being able to keep both.

I was able to place a Chest Holster with a Magnum inside of a Press Vest. Is this supposed to happen? It's not very practical and I did it on accident, but I'm just curious if it's a bug.

Wow, that stinks! Hopefully it won't happen again. :-) If it does... do what BCBasher said. It works great! Thank you! This worked great! :-) Do you any of you know if a V3S will keep its inventory during server maintenance? Actually, what all gets wiped during maintenance?

I made the mistake of logging out on a rock and now I'm stuck inside it. Can I get out?

Awesome! Thanks, man! :-)

Do any of you know where the truck battery spawns? I have seen two or three of them, but I didn't need one at the time. You know how that goes. Haha :-) Oh, and are there any animal spawn near Stary Sobor?

Well, I've never played on an experimental update so I decided to give it a go. I could only handle about thirty minutes. Here are some things that I noticed. I had this really odd flashlight duplication bug where it looked like I had two flashlight, but I actually only had one. Rags don't initially show up when you tear a t-shirt or something like that. You have to move an item in your inventory in order for it to appear. This made me think of a block update detector in Minecraft. Haha :-) Falling off of a roof doesn't always kill you. Also, landing on a fence seems to break your fall and cause no damage (this was also in 0.55). You have to crouch in order to search for stones, but then your character stands up upon searching. The latency seems much worse, but it could be due to the servers. I've had lots of things disappear. The loots seems very random, but it is kinda nice. It reminds me of the early 0.55. I found a white balaclava and a black balaclava in the same random house on the same table. I do like that the gas canisters now show a percentage, but I found one at a well... seems odd. I'm not sure what their overall goal for the loot tables are. The maps don't make sense. The previous maps made much more sense. The quickbar is crazy. Everything is white as if I don't have the item. Zombies... ugh... they're so stupid and I still have yet to hear one make an alerted sound!!! I had to run into this one in order for it to notice me... EDIT: Is drowning still a thing? Anyway, I just thought I would share my experience. I always think, "What were they doing that caused this?" I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and I won't be able to play until the middle of the next month so I hope lots of things have changed by then. I'm pretty optimistic! I hope everyone has a great weekend! :-)

They are probably some busy beavers! I've been meaning to ask this, but I keep forgetting. Does the 1911 Engraved spawn only at helicopter crash sites? I'm asking because I have found one in a fire station before.

No, you're right, man! After all, it's just a game. :-) I am still pretty new to playing it so I guess that's why I tend to get attached to things.
