Just out of interest, what are the hardcore elements here? I used a run a hardcore Epoch / Origins mashup on Tavi, was a lot of fun. - One dynamic trader who only traded items for items - One static trader on Sector B, would only speak if you wore dogtags - Only spawned one of all the best vehicles on the map. The best aircraft only spawned on Sector B. - Very scarce loot, especially safe food & drink - No safes - Rock-hard zeds (using latest Mod code as base), loads at mil areas. - Nuclear fallout once per server restart - Snowfalls and colder temperature - Hostile axemen in the woods with Origins zed noises - AI land & air vehicle patrols - Crucial items like plots, spare keys, certain building supplies could only be crafted whilst inside specific buildings around the map - Lockboxes as above, required gems from missions, plus tools - Ability to search certain areas of map, i.e. sandpit, for hidden items. Small chance of joy, high chance of a cut - Basic spawn selection - 24hr day/night cycle, proper nights. - Usual perks (snap build pro, friends system) Some other stuff too, but I can't remember at the moment. Could be some ideas there if you want it hardcore. I miss having the time and spare money! Cheers

Taken from here "... you will need DayZmod 1.8.6.1 and Namalsk 0.75. ... with parameters: -MOD=@DayZ;@DayZ_Namalsk;"

I've had a search about this but found nothing. Excuse me if I plebbed out and missed it, or if the following is just one massive legal no-no. Is there any possibility of non-enterable buildings being changed into enterable buildings? Maybe for 2.0? :) This Mod being a community project and all, I've seen authors of other DayZ mods like Zero etc add in new opened-up versions of existing Arma 2 buildings. For example: The ep0ch geezers made an interior for the Ind_Pec0a warehouse: Tansien made some great interiors for DayZero, especially the hospitals, guardhouses & camo buildings: * There were some great improvements by whoever was behind DayZed, especially the shed, sawmill and red & green house: http://imgur.com/a/OMT8x What the chances of contacting these guys and saying, "now then, we love you, you love(d) us, how about your creations go down in DayZMod history and let's get these fuckers in update 2.0?" Thanks either way. Keep up the good work. * massive apologies for linking to PsiSyndicate.... :(

Yeah, I can understand that

Any progress on this? Are you looking for sensible ideas from users? Thanks.

DayZ Mod has no money, safes etc. That's DayZ Epoch and the chance of you finding an DayZ Epoch server that is hardcore survival, are extremely slim. The only one that springs to mind is FINALDayZ which is on the Namalsk map. It's a tough server with great PVE elements. The only way you'd get me playing DayZ Epoch is by there being no traders, tougher zombies (seeing as the Epoch devs minced them all) and scarce loot. If you're willing to play the glorious DayZ Mod, there's a few first person hardcore servers, including A Dead Man Walking HC Mercenary. Check the vanilla servers list in the Mod Servers & Private Hives section.

Yeah, MBNQ was the guy behind Shadow Of Chernarus and I'm sure he put his server files online when SoC ended. Clever guy. If you have a dedi or money at least, it could be worth emailing him for permission to make a tribute server with his files. All in all, there needs to be more challenging servers, or less easy ones. Another good one I know of is FinalDayZ. That's on Namalsk but has radiation and other interesting additions.

I know I'm in the minority but pro-streamers make my eyes & ears bleed. Seeing them in the corner of the screen makes me reach for a credit card to blu-tack over them, and hearing them feels like I'm being punished. Psi brings good to many, from what I've read - but his voice makes me plead for the aliens to nuke us all. Getting back on the topic of map changes, I saw in another topic that there could be some updates on the way, fingers crossed.

This is really interesting news! Could you say at this stage what kind of changes you'd be wanting to make?
