    HoodieZ contest

    I really like the first one, but it would need to remove the gun in pocket. just not a good look.
  2. what you first described is an item not in types.xml OR a typo in types.xml. Then you say its not even in types.xml so how can it spawn? it can't. without seeing the types.xml and maybe the modlist, its going to be hard to diagnose since you're issues are contradictory.

    DayZ | +50 QoL suggestions | Part 4

    another great list. 1 - is a good use for existing materials. 3,4 - yes. 11, 31 - definitely. 34 - I still want them nerfed too but this is good. 37 - will change the game dynamic - awesome! 40 - Reminds me of the "infected camps" you would find randomly around the map in a2:dayzmod and the best place to find dome tents in that world. 44 - nice dynamic usage of the contaminated zones + existing models. 50 - great, but there will be serious complaints. 56 - very creative. 57 - might be my favorite (since I suggested it,. lol)

    DayZ | 50 QoL suggestions | Part 3

    Another well thought out set of suggestions. Here's the ones that jumped out at me: 3) Add the existent rusty textures to functional vehicles - No, its too hard to distinguish the wrecks from teh spawns already. 5) Make the tents placement less restrictive in relation to irregular surfaces - agreed and 1.15 is adding some server configs for this. 7) Increase the speed and traction of the M3S truck within realistic ranges (Prague V3S) - yes 13) Allow to cut medical scrub t-shirts into rags (Consistency with pants) - yes (general issue with many cloth items) 17) Disable the ability of burying ruined items or containers - yes, containers AND items should degrade 20) Reduce/differentiate the lifetime of the packed tents form the unpacked ones - (general config issue with deployed items) 27) Allow to add full backpacks inside vehicles - no, goes against my ideas to prevent hoarding. 33) Clothing state should also impact on their max cargo capacity - yes, this is a great PVE feature 34) Enable vehicles respawn time base on inactivity (or reduce its lifetime if it is actually working) - YES! we've talked about this. 39) Communication devices should relate with the dynamic events - yes, there needs to be a reason to use the radios 42) Contaminated areas vs. Air Strikes, a more dynamic approach to toxic zones - great idea on the dynamic zones. as for the static zones, its not that hard. needs improvement. 44) Add vegetation on roads. dayzsa raods are so much clearer than a2:dayzmod! please don't do this UNTIL vehicles are improved.

    Update 1.15 Xbox Experimental (Change Log)

    IMO, DayZ just isn't a base-building game. IIt never was back in the a2:dayzmod days either and sa has about the same constructs. Once you start adding more complex base building, players are going to want raid times, unraidable bases, sleeping bag base spawns codelocks, cement walls, multi-story and all sorts of other things that are either impractical or just too permanent. dayz is always temporary. base building is something todo, but it's not supposed to last.

    Update 1.15 Xbox Experimental (Change Log)

    you need to read this - Added: cfggameplay.json for configuring several gameplay elements (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=DayZ:Gameplay_Settings)

    private car ownership

    never going to happen. dayz isn't about permanent ownership like that.

    DayZ | +45 QoL suggestions | Part 2

    @Asmondian nice list! Would be nice to get an ACK from the dev team. 50 QOL improvements is a lot. What about some type of poll where we could prioritize. My list: 1) Gasoline Canisters | Make them explode when fired 4) Police cars wrecks in PD´s | Re-signifying Police Stations 10) Wet items/weapons | Possibility of malfunction 15) Military Tents | Carry as a backpack 22) Diseases Indicator | Different diseases symbols (Alternative Blood Test Kit) 31) Underground stashes | Bigger dirt pile and multiple stashes restriction 37) Epinephrine | Avoid fainting in flashing red blood 38) North East Airfield | Bring it back to life 39) Apartment buildings | Is there a good reason why those are empty? 41) Burying Dry bags | Make them take damage with every bury/unbury 50) Helicopter Crash Sites | Radio Signal

    Xbox Experimental Update 1.11 (Changelog)

    @lynn.zaw I was only able to get to this list via the link from twitter. There isn't a visible subcategory under Console Updates -> Xbox Experimental Updates where I would expect to see this.

    Some Questions

    not possible.
  11. helpthedeadwalk

    Ports & Descriptions

    if you are troubleshooting and the server is already running , you can look at the DayZ_x64<date-time>.RPT logfile and find a line like ” 8:01:05.592 SUCCESS: SteamGameServer_Init(c0a80121,8716,2302,27016,3,1.07.153006)” – The 2nd, 3rd, 4th values are the ports being used and need to ne open/forwarded(UDP). If you are using the dayzsalauncher server side app, it uses gameport+10(TCP) which is 2312 in this example.

    Official server raiding

    You can use melee, bullets or grenades (fastest). You can no longer cut locks.

    drinks_T1 & cfgspawnabletypes.xml

    Tier1, basically the coastal area. These changes in 1.10 were done to make a set of zombies for the coastal areas that have a higher chance to spawn food than the ones farther inland.

    Server shuting down but not restarting

    are your scripts and maybe BEC looking for the same exact executable(process) by name? DayZ_x64.exe? could they be getting confused?
  15. The Dead Return SA has now changed over to Namalsk! Get some col weather gear, start a fire and ride out the storm. Namalsk is a new/old map with an unforgiving environment. Survival is key, but will you work together to live or kill to take what you need? TDR Namalsk is lightly modded for variety and enhanced gameplay. TDR Namalsk has some extra gear, guns and vehicles, plus a few other surprises. Only some of the items in the mods have been added and they will spawn in line with the rest of the vanilla gear. A few extra vehicles have been added too. Overall, it will be just as hard.

  16. The Dead Return SA (TDRSA) is the spiritual successor of The Dead Return for Arma2:DayZMod which has been around since March, 2016. The TDRSA modlist has been refreshed! TDRSA is lightly modded for variety and enhanced gameplay. TDRSA has a bit of that A2:dayzmod feeling with spawn selection, A2 weapons, groups, global chat and airdrop. TDRSA also has enhanced base building, toxic zones, extra gear, guns and vehicles. The new items have been added carefully and some will be rare. You won't find an AR in every house and you'll still have to work to get over that initial food + water hump. The amount of heli crashes is doubled to 6, the gunter and sarka have been removed (plenty of new vehs), KrasAF/NEAF has been enhanced and there are lots more infected!

    Console Update 1.08

    Those are the respawn points used when you change servers. They are packed into another PBO file and are usually left out of this file (They weren't in the original EXP release), so its just a build error.
  18. The Dead Return(TDR) SA is the spiritual successor of The Dead Return for Arma2:DayZMod which has been around since March, 2016. The Dead Return(TDR) SA is a lightly modded server. Mods have been added for variety and enhanced gameplay. TDR allows PVP and KOS, but why not try to interact with other players? There are mos with extra vehicles, guns and gear. I hand-picked some of the more interesting items from the mod packs below. For example, to keep the guns spawns manageable, I’ve stuck mostly to guns that use ammo already in the game (like 7.62×39 and 5.56×54, etc). The extra weapons and gear spawn in limited quantities and/or at heli crashes, so they are still rare. Base destruction and car damage are nerfed for now since those are 2 of the biggest issues in the vanilla game. Finally, of course there are more zombies. I’m open to adding mods, but keep the previous paragraph in mind. **Steam Collection of Current Mods:** https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1791421204 **The big list of mods:** CF https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1559212036 BetterBarbedWire https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1750629601 Code Lock https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1646187754 [CrSk] GAZ-3309 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1756237462 [CrSk] BMW 525i E34 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1869021368 Durable Suppressors https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1724005476 FlipTransport https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1832448183 GoreZ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1648967877 ItemCollisionNerf https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1739822459 IRP-Land-Rover-Defender-110 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1912237302 Land Rover Defender https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1929876262 Mass'sManyItemOverhaul https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1566911166 MoreGuns https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1665663702 Munghards Itempack https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1734713776 NoVehicleDamage https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735947752 Server_Information_Panel https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1680019590 Simple Base https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1814422822 TougherBasesV2 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1762357357 WeaponReduxPack https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1559317235 ZomBerry Admin Tools https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1582756848 **Visit the website for server and game info** Website at http://helpthedeadreturn.wordpress.com **Join the discord server to be part of the community and give feedback!** Discord at https://discord.me/tdr Active owneradmin Max Players: 60 Physical Server Location: NY Restarts: Every 6 hours (3am/9am/3pm/9pm ET) IP Address: 74.91.116.240:2302 **Use the new and improved in-game launcher OR get dayzsalauncher (https://dayzsalauncher.com) and play The Dead Return now!** **Any questions?**

    DayZ Client MPMission files?

    you're not going to find the cached PBO if that's what you're looking for. hope you weren't asking for nefarious purposes. the server still has a set of mission files in dayzserver\mpmissions\dayzOffline.chernarusplus\* (everything in here except for the storage_1 directory.
  20. helpthedeadwalk

    Restore a character?

    mpmissions\dayzOffline.enoch\storage_1\players.db contains your character. It's a sqllite database, so i know you can browse it It has 4 columns - id, Alive, UID, Data. Never tried it but maybe setting alive=1 on the old record, but you'd probably have to delete the current alive one. worth a try

    You can also use a tool that understands RCON and issue a shutdown command. BEC used to be good for that. Battlemetrics. CF/Omega(forget the name). I'm sure there are others.
