I logged into and out of many a server last night to get the best loot (for testing purposes), but I didn't have a KO screen. I think there was something around here about it happening for other reasons though. I can't find it atm, sorry.

Depends. If the server allows it and your running a beta greater than 93542 it's: [93542] New: MP Statistics screen (key I) contains the Server hostname

I have no clue about any of this, what servers can and cant do, what can be edited by servers or wtf...But it seems that it's a setting within the mission file. So DayZ could enable/disable it. Which I hope they do. Finding servers with certain settings is already a PITA as it is. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext Description.ext is mission config placed in mission's root. As with chat channels servers are able to choose, but DayZ overwrote whatever choice servers made with this file. Servers can edit this file as well afaik, but it's something that is frowned upon or maybe even blacklist-able.

Good to know. Thanks, Wüstenfuchs. I agree. It should be stickied.

Maybe this will help with admin stuff: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=16364 (if not maybe ask a question in the server section or ask a mod to move this thread there) About side channel though. I don't know. Some servers seem to be able to ask if they can enable it and they are told that they can in fact enable it. Other's seem to assume that nothing can be done and editing the mission file to enable it is forbidden. I'm not sure who you can contact about enabling it though, sorry.

Oh I thought you needed to be in a channel to be able to hear and talk in it. Or bind the key for push to talk for that channel. So if I was group channel I couldn't hear someone in a vehicle channel. That kind of sucks. Say your in a car and the windows are rolled up (even though you can't roll them down, but you know what I mean). People on the side of a road or where ever you are can hear your voice 40m (since direct comm is on no matter what) away. For text though it's kinda of nice I suppose.

What needs to be done so that everyone joins direct comm channel by default when joining a server? I think that's the main issue as to why others don't respond. At the moment we join group comm channel by default. I understand that all they have to do is use "," or ".", but as we all know, not everyone will know how to do this.

Leaderboards... Thanks for the vid.

Check this thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9518 Link in the thread with a quote from rocket: The disabling is done in the mission file, already released. But it requires running the beta client to be effective. The beta client is required by 1.7.1. Ergo, nobody will be able to use side/global in 1.7.1

ooo nice little subtle addition. I don't kill others that often so I'm not sure when it was added, but being able to see the name of the person you killed with study body is nice. I just remember seeing unknown all the time. Now to just remove the damn message: "some douche bag" was killed" My bad if this was added some other time. Haven't been playing or killing that much recently. (probably has been in for awhile so please consider removing the message) FPS dropped like crazy as Z's were looking for me. Even after they left. Went 30+ down to 8 fps. Had to quit. Tried flushing it didn't help. Z's seem crazy aware again as well. Wasn't really trying to be all sneaky, but I was being spotted from, I'd say, < 50ft wearing a ghillie in the rain. I love it. :D Also, started with (not a fresh spawn):

rocket elaborate? HAHAHAHAHAHA! oh and HAHAHAHAHAHA! Going to have to find out on our own me thinks.

So what exactly did sickboy help you with then? Wasn't what you mentioned about, what you thought were engine problems that woould take weeks or longer to fix?

*entered thinking the thread title said fisting* Oh fishing. Yes I like to fish. Would be great! Some really awesome spots for it. Probably not going to happen until it's standalone though, if at all, sadly.

I'll be there! t(-_-t) :P

ROFL! The way he noted it in the update thread (which I assume you read before posting): can only drop through right click in gear menu (can only drop through? *unsure*). This in fact will be the case. Seriously, had a good laugh at this.

I feel you bro. It's tough blowing those damn things up!

PLEASE! Tell me about the fucking golf shoes!

*get's out his Cracker Jack decoder ring to decipher dev notes* can only drop through right click in gear menu :huh:

Most of the people on this forum should not be having children. Myself included.

Yes extremely easy. Sure it took me a few attempts when aggro was high. But that was when I actually tried to sneak passed them in first person. Hiding has nerfed Z's into the ground. Remove hiding. Just think of them finding you where ever you are as their sense of smell. Loot has been fucked up for awhile now. When it becomes more reliable though. Some thing's should be reduced.

I spawned there many many (what seems like months) spawns ago. Is it still just a rough model when you do? Meaning could you get out through the door or did you have to prone and crawl out of the model? I like the idea of spawning in a house though. More so than this washed ashore deal-y.

I've had this error quite often. Sometimes not at all. I'm not sure why. It does cause problems (while in game) for me. I lose control of my character until I press enter. Heh.

Should just close this forum down. Have one place to post videos/screen shots of problems lol. Anything other than videos/screen shots posted gets deleted. WORTHLESSNESS BE GONE (like this post)! :P
