Velenon

So been playing, 0.59 stable recently and was putting together a V3S, battery, glow plug, all wheels but I can't get the V3S to move. 2 things might be the problem the back double tires seem flat, infact are damaged on the UI. Also the glow plug doesn't really go in the V3S it just always goes in the cargo space not where the battery is on the UI, tried various things with old and new ui and no joy. So questions are: 1) Do I need to make the double wheel into singles to repair them? 2) What tool do you use to spilt / make double wheels? 3) How do I fit the glow plug into the V3S 4) Are there any other problems that cause the vehicles to not move at the moment. p.s. this V3S is at its spawn location and has not been crashed prior to this. Any help is greatly appreciated :D

Yeah will try taking them all off again, I managed to move it somewhere safer, at least not at its spawn location so hopefully no one comes to steal it. I think it is the combo of sinking tires and weak power, I couldnt even drive it up a gentle hill in first gear LOL. And I do mean "gentle" !

Yeah that is what I went for, scoured the map for worn/pristine double tires, the thing still barely moves, the tires are like sunken into the ground, any work around for that yet?

Cool, yeah got the thing moving with gears, felt really stupid with that one. Ok so just busses can be made double at the moment. Well my only remaining problem are the damaged tire's I have found no way to get the option to repair the V3S double tires, the single tires repaired just the same as last patch, tried everything that worked last patch on the double tires but no luck, even tried doing it through the -newui but still no options available to repair.

Oh my, the derp is strong with this one. (Aimed at myself) Yeah so manual transmission....... so it moves, just verey slowly so still need answers to questions 1 & 2. I have read something about a crowbar, just cant find one anywhere for a change :/

You have to at least TRY full wookie :D good news is if you break down the suit you get half the burlap(5) and all the netting(4) back so thats good :D Although I will say any kind of ghillie top is a substantial sacrifice in space, I have 20 slots and I find it very hard to pick what to keep and what to throw away with my hunter backpack. Also as a note, something that wasn't clear for me but I suspected, ghilie top and ghillie bushrag covers your torso, the FULL Ghillie which is crafted as a single item covers your WHOLE body, legs and all. You will still need to craft the hood separately. You can also spray the full ghillie green which I think used to be impossible.

Hi all I want to pose a question. I tend in most games to setup such that I can have my game on a central monitor and have two side monitors, usually 1 for web browser and the other for voice comm's or some other resource I might use. I have found this difficult to do in DayZ as the screen will disappear and the sound will stop when I interact outside the game window or in windowed mode the screen freezes and the sound stops. In a multiplayer game with zombies this does not work out so well, its like playing russian roulette on whether a player or zombie comes to have their way with you while you are doing something outside the game window and the first thing you know about it is when you click the game window again. Do others get annoyed by this or am I just being too fussy? :blush: I'm afraid I already feel I know the answer to the next question but this sort of affect is due to the way the game engine interects with the computer and the operating system? So is it unlikely that DayZ will at some stage support the use of multiple monitors to have access to music and webrowsers etc while still being able to see and hear what is going on around you when the game windows looses focus?

@wacktopia Thank you kindly :D I shall have to play with those options! @BCBasher I tried the triple head arrangement but it gave me a headache, something about the way it distorted on the other 2 monitors didnt feel right, I might have had the Field of View wrong though. anyway I perfer having other things like browser and music up rather than doing eyefinity type stuff.

Yeah I have noticed zombies appearing in front of me a few times I figure either they spawn late or they dont appear graphically untill your almost on top of them. Just be glad you haven't run into an invisible zombie, they are very troublesome! I also had an incident last night where I got swarmed by what must have been every zombie in this small town about 6 total all because I shot 1 zombie that got in my way with a "silenced" Makarov? and this was a pristine silencer so fair warn, if you shoot, the zombies will come :D

The game is still alpha and the new renderer and optimisation process has yet to take place, so for now at least your graphical performance within the game will be lower than desired. However based on your setup you should indeed be getting better FPS, I might play with some of the suggestions given here and see if I can find a few more frames myself.

Oh wait if we get bicycles they are going to give us random punctures :( Best get looting some tyre repair kits, HAHA what a way to get held up, while repairing your bicycle tyre because of a puncture :P

Denser forrests :D More map area :D Predatory animals, +1 for Bicycles, more survival crafting I want my deer skin tent! The ability to dig a hole underground with a ladder and a stick/leaf trapdoor allowing me to hide my backpacks underground, nice and hidden but in no way impossible to stumble across. Ok I may have gone a bit nuts on that last one, I would like to be able to make a covered hole to store a bag in though, with a similar trapdoor, I like the idea because if you are one of the players who is aware of their surroundings you will find these places, but allot of players would just cruise on by never even noticing.

I don't want them but if they must be included. 1) I would like them to be rare and extremly hard to keep running/repairing. 2) They are not locked! and therefore not god mode vehicles that cannot be stolen if you are stupid enough to land it in an open field and leave it unguarded. i.e. it should be a group vehicle. 3) Like tents they are vulnerable to being "raided" when not logged in. 4) They are transports with an internal inventry. 5) Most importantly, it should be possible to damage them aswell as kill the people within the heli, also the passangers should be able to shoot out of the heli doors with their normal weapons. Alternatively have a few single person heli's like the gyrocopters that are also hard to run but can be kept by a single person, but leaves them vulnerable to being shot down as they have no protection. Balance, everything must be balanced, add anything you want but "I win" buttons/vehicles/gear destroy the feel of games, this is about surviving after all, cherno is supposed to be a hard place to live.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Oh well egg on my face, I said in another topic they would never do this LOL I just hope it doesnt impact persistence or tents stability I dont really want to loose my AK74 :S So this means back to the airfields for guns and ammo then? EDIT: Never mind I just read the report, I lost it :( Along with ALLOT of other stuff oh well I have food, water, cloths, axe and guns ...... I WILL SURVIVE!!!!! Gets KOS'd So I shall be making sure to read these reports so I don't get caught again.

I don't know how much I would like DLC missions in the game, obviously if it become a completely separate environment or "Phase" then it could be done, but having players on a server all out doing "phased" missions means a full server and you could be the only one wandering around cherno, not much fun if you are looking to make friends :( so a singleplayer event launched from the menu or a specific server that hosts these enviroments that is separate from the standard game? The problem is we are treating this game like a MMO which in truth it is not. MMO's require NPC's and players to feel like the world is inhabited which is the opposite of what DayZ is about, at least in my mind. So separation would be required to host these, story/mission hubs.

Please no advantage giving DLC, "I Win" buttons or in this case DLC. If you leave your chopper out in the open I better be able to steal it, otherwise it destroys the feel of the game. Ok when I steal it I might crash and burn but I should still be able to steal it ;) I hate this protection net you get in some games, oh if you blow up my car youll have to pay for it ....... so, you leave heli in open, you loose it. Also paid for helis means those who buy it can loot the crap out of the server they have it on meaning little old me with my feet cannot find anything worth looting so I quit the game, or I start a new sport called KOS the heli pilots ;)

I struggled initially when 0.55 came out but you learn how to survive, I tend to pick about 8-10 apples as a fresh spawn takes a few minutes and will keep you going, then it's about being as brief as possible on the coast, you will see very quickly if it has been picked clean, if that is the case dont waste time make a move inland following a road. Tthe trick I found was to be quick in the beginning, in and out of places dont hang around and also learn to spot and avoid the Zeds. If you get a few K's inland and there is nothing, get yourself killed and try from another town, still not working, try a different server. I got my friend to start playing, we went to a new server and I F11'd untill we met up, on that server there was very little where I started some where he started, we got inland to the next town and scored. We walked away with a tent, food tools/weapons(melee) I even found a Plate carrier and the pouchs to go with it, of course that didnt save my life when my friend swung through on a zombie and axed me in the face but hey it was a good find while it lasted :D There is loot, trust me, of course this is all on public servers I'm talking about. As for loot on restarts, I think the loot system works off of cleanup scripts that always run rather than only refreshing at restart, so the server will maintain a certain level of loot I think, just means if this area empty some other area must have loot.

So far as I'm aware this is a required step in the process? I think they needed to implement this system so that they could tweek it and find bugs while they establish the loot distribution and central economy. So they most certainly will not be reverting the changes back to 0.54, they could, but they never would, they need to establish the new loot system if we ever want to get a release version of the game, if that means some hard times ahead then thats fair enough, instead of asking them to revert the systems we should be seeking out bugs and reporting them, the more of that we do the sooner we might get release :D In many ways random loot locations aid bug finding because people will search far and wide and not just 4/5 locations for the specific loot they want, the game does need testing afterall. You mention in your post that to survive you need loot in its specific locations? How so? food is all over, clothes are all over, unless you mean guns and ammo, which are not a prerequisite for survival?

Fire? Are fires working for you guys? I can't even craft a fireplace, it disappears after 2-5 seconds of being on the ground, never mind the cooking pot, I've just chased down a chicken aswell, that was the last part I need to go completely native with my bow and arrows :D Sucks cause those are 2 very juicy looking chicken breasts! and no fire to cook with, also I looked a right plonker chasing that thing up the field swinging my axe at it!

Have you tried using a disinfectant spray on the plants? clears up the leaf spots straight away, that show up before you get a rotten crop.

Ok cool thanks for clearing that up, I got a bit excited ;) Yeah I'm not 100% trusting persistence, I know it will get me eventually, for now I log out with all the good loot on me.

Wait tents disappear from server when we log off? Is it the same for dropped backpacks? I thought they were always present, this would ease my worry about people finding my tent.

Twitter / Eugen: Persistence forced, no wipes, central ec... I think this means your tent should be grand but I'm in a similar boat to you, I have cherry picked my important loot and left backpacks/tent/V3S in place with fingers crossed!

@ Cash81: Harsh, harsh :D I am indeed looking forward to any form of graphical updates, would DX11 improve performance if you have a relatively recent GPU? < I'm a n00b on GPU drivers and performance, if pretty pictures appear then I'm happy. What I would really really love to see with GPU updates, and possibly map tweaking is very dense forrests, thick trees for nasty Zed's and Bandi's to hide behind, or for me to dissapear into when I hear gun shots around Zelenogorsk.

@Gunslinger63 I found a Hunter Backpack behind the counter of the petrol station North end of Zelenogorsk Also Total agreement with Raiding outdoor toilets! They are sometimes packed with loot, I've found lots of food, ammo and even assault vests, a fishing hook too but I dont think whoever left that found what they were looking for :lol: Car's, trunks, buses. Do not pass these by, there is loot to be had!
