I decided after dying last night that I am going this route, no cans, no water bottle. Literately at the moment I have a hook and a hoe, what else do you need hey? Lol. It can be tough, I died from hypothermia the first time, once I figured out how to survive that I am doing ok, keep some charcoal tabs on me just in case I get low and eat some worms to stop from starving to death (got food poisoning from them) all in all it's tough but very rewarding!

Thanks for the answers guys, very helpful :)

Welcome to DayZ man! Yeah as the others have said you can find things but you will need to no inland somewhat. The loot etc is having some issues I believe at the moment in this patch as some things don't seem to be respawning, but food wise I have not had a problem to be honest, berries from bushes, apples from the trees are all fine, but be sure to check thoroughly in the buldings for cans, they can be under, on top of and behind things too! I have a fairly friendly server if you want someone to show you the ropes? Feel free to add me on Steam, MadMcardle or PM me on here. Happy scavenging! Mad

Hey man, I have recently set up a server too so if you need help with anything feel free to PM me. Getting players in can be difficult but checking out the Steam DayZ hub could help quite a bit too, I also recommend starting a Steam group for players of the server, helps people communicate and team up and I got 50 players join in a couple of days. It can be a struggle to get people to stick to a private server but I wish you all the best with it! Oh and might help to put some more info in the title, was some sound advice I was given :) Enjoy! Mad

Thanks wasnu, do you know what time though, as in four hours from when?

I need to know is it still there? Lol

Your welcome, glad to be of some help!

I have come across 2 so far, was great to not know exactly where they were I think, made it all the more intense, luckily no one else was at them! But I didn't get the SVD :( lol

Got up to around 10 players last night, was a great laugh chatting with some of you, shame I flipped two VS3 Cargos but hey, was fun, will be on again this afternoon!

I know we've all talked about how there is no zombies in 0.58, I thought they were removed for some glitch reason or something but hey ho I found some! Well only two to be precise but I can hear a third somewhere just can't track him down yet lol.

DUDE! That was my breeding zombie! Now what are we gonna do? :P

Got a public group going on Steam now to chat whilst in game, check it out - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/madmcardlesserver

Warehouses, sheds basically anywhere you found the black spray paint, it just varies on what spawns there.

Best to contact your host on that one I think bud.

Same man!

Ok ok I'll let the third one run free! Lol

Great video as always man, have ma beans! :P

Ah glad you got it sorted man!

Personally I think it is right how it is now as people would scavenge and steal them if this was real, but maybe the location of the parts should change? Would it not be more realistic to have them in the petrol stations or garages? Then again the sheds are also good as that is where I kept my motorcycle stuff thinking about it, but yeah add them to petrol stations I reckon.

I am Chrome also, no issues.

Hey man, I know I am with a different company but the code should still work the same, this is the standard code, try it if you want? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> <!-- Web Doc : http://www.ibattle.org/install-and-configure/setting-up-the-scheduler/ Default setup: Restarts every 4 hours with 15, 10, 5 and 1 minute warnings --> <Scheduler> <!-- Repeating messages --> <job id="0"> <time>000200</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 TEST</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="1"> <time>000500</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 TEST</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="2"> <time>000700</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 TEST</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="3"> <time>001100</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 TEST</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="4"> <time>001700</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>1</loop> <cmd>say -1 This server restarts every 4 hours</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <!-- End repeat messages --> <!-- Restarts --> <job id="5"> <time>034500</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>0</loop> <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 15 minutes</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="6"> <time>035000</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>0</loop> <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 10 minutes</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="7"> <time>035500</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>0</loop> <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 5 minutes</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="8"> <time>035900</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>0</loop> <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 1 minute</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <job id="9"> <time>040000</time> <delay>000000</delay> <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> <loop>0</loop> <cmd>#shutdown</cmd> <cmdtype>0</cmdtype> </job> <!-- End Restarts --></Scheduler>

I didn't know they were that rare to be honest dude, I have a couple of them, good to know though :)

The date only changes in the loading screen when you are connecting to the server I think. And I am guessing the time cannot be changed then? Let me know what they say :)

Ah right ok, I am with them too but a private server. As I see it it doesn't matter what you set the date too, as it only affects the loading screen, default is October something I think, so you can change it to what ever you like. If your not too sure you can always send the GD guys a support ticket, I know it says they are there between 10:00 - 22:00 but I just got a reply so they are about :)

I am sure it is out of your hands now since 0.58 man, as the devs handle the restarts if I am right, I will have a look what I can find and get back to you. What company are you with?
