    I think it's BS experimental isn't offered to Playstation users! We are just as part of the DayZ community as PC and Xbox! It seems our feedback isn't important as the other platforms.

    Here us a little bit of Playstation user feedback:

    Why don't you FIX all the RIDICULOUS bugs and glitches before adding NEW stuff in the game? Games performance is trash. 

    Thanks,

    Pissed Playstation User

    DayZ Doesn't have a "experimental" version on Playstation compared to PC and Xbox. So you will have to wait for the update to drop on stable on all consoles. It's way too early to know any dates.

    Why were notes removed? And anyone know if they will return?

    The feature was not finished, probably a work in progress feature that was drop by mistake ingame since notes and map markers were still full of bugs and devs stuff like random colored markers for example 😛

    Will the new update be a complete server wipe ? Even on private server ? That would suck 

    Community servers (on pc) are not forced to wipe. The administrator of the server can decide that for his own server.

    [...] Now nobody knows when the servers gonna reset and can't get somewhere safe... 

    Well it should but if the server you are on didn't had it it's dayz fault but the fault of the guy who own this server. Server hosting server write  ingame message (most of them) and any server can config a file to create automatic messages about restarts for example. I have on the server I have a message 2 hours, 1 hour, 30 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes and 1 minute before each restarts and a automatic message tell me the restart hours from time to time.

    Here it's a issue related to the owner of the server who didn't do his job... Or because the server crashed (1.04 is very unstable server side)

    This is an Xbox server, we literally have 0 control over the server never mind the files.... lol but thank you

    You can't even edit your server mission with a ftp access ?!? REALLY BOHEMIA x)

    TBH i took a step back when they released the server files and our community started the first modded server, due to my stress levels hitting the roof thx to RL stuff. Thats why i never tinkered with mission files yet personally. Are you maybe planning a guide or a summary of what you found out (or maybe you already did)? Could be very helpful for all of us.

     

    Edit: Dont you worry console dudes, sooner or later, well more likely later, you will have more control over what you can do

    I already started a guide of how to use the CE Editor (where the loot/AI should spawn) but I need to redo it to make it easier to understand

    Hi,

    I would like to start modding DayZ SA but I just cant find a complete guide.
    You can find information here and there but I just couldnt find a gude that is written this way/in a proper way, that shows all steps: (especially scripting)

    • You start from scratch
    • How do you setup the modding environment properly..
    • How do you have to setup your folders?
    • Which paths are important, which paths can you set yourself? like drive p etc
    • How do you get your project into the script editor?
    • How do you get your project into Visual Studio?
    • How do you prepare the server
    • How do you prepare the client
    • With or without BattlEye?
    • How do you build or pack the mod to be tested or should you test unpacked?
    • Which tools do you need? Is the DayZ Tools collection enough?
    • Ok you have a mod now, how do you sign it, pack it and then put it into the workshop?

    Can anyone link me something or maybe anyone can take some time and make a proper guide ?

     

    Thanks.

     

    Cheers

    • You start from scratch
    • How do you setup the modding environment properly..

    Launch dayz tools => Workbench => Workbench (again) => Options => Source data directory => P:/

    • Which paths are important, which paths can you set yourself? like drive p etc
    • How do you get your project into the script editor?

    Launch Dayz tools, make sure P drive is a thing => Launch the workbench => Go to view => script editor

    • How do you get your project into Visual Studio?

    create a new project from Visual Studio like normal

    • How do you prepare the server

    with the command line "-mod=mod_number1;mod_number2" (servermod and clientmod can also be used)

    • How do you prepare the client

    Like any other mods, you activate it from your launcher or with the command line "-mod=mod_number1;mod_number2"

    • With or without BattlEye?

    you don't care

    • How do you build or pack the mod to be tested or should you test unpacked?

    With the Addon Builder tool

    • Which tools do you need? Is the DayZ Tools collection enough?

    Dayz tools is enough for scripting, animating, texturing and modeling, can't tell for mapping

    • Ok you have a mod now, how do you sign it, pack it and then put it into the workshop?

    With the Publisher tool

     

    this guy @Matthew Longtime have a lot of videos for beginners

    1. Log on
    2. Get as many guns / gear
    3. log off and mess with the loot economy. 

     

    I own a server and this has pretty much happened to me, People would play and get geared and when they log off to never be seen again they log off with maybe an M4 or AK and then thats 1 less M4 and AK to be fount. 
    Anyone know if this is even possible to fix or stop or even do ?

    It's possible to fix this issue but you need to change a lot of things in the CLE however you won't be able to fix the stoage/base building issue. Oh and my solution also have flaws but for a private server it's not a really big deal

    The biggest issue is not the player inventory but the items inside containers (barrels, tents, cars, etc). The player inventory have a minor impact on loot distribution.

    1 hour ago, MaVerick_GDZ said:

    So, does anyone have any REAL proof about what you are saying, like a quote from a dev? All i can find from an official standpoint is pretty much telling the exact opposite of what i keep hearing (quote: "Items in tents/backpacks/player inventories are not part of the calculation!"), its a pretty old source though from 0.5something.

    I would be really glad to get some newer info about the matter, questions about loot, storage and how its calculated will keep coming and a source to point at would be neat.

    Edit: that pic above is a good start.

    All you have to do is to open a mission file and play with the values to see what they do. I am tweaking my mission for a server for month now and I have fixed all the loot distribution issues that can be fixed without any mods.

    If you need any information about CLE and CE I am here to help 🙂

    So doesnt existe any script or mod to increase loot? i need to change all the item by myself? 

    Some mods/scripts have been created to make zombies more populated even if there is a tool for that but from what I know there is no mods for loots

    Many scopes (with battery) are not working correctly but I can't even attach the BUIS scope to the UMP or MP5, which is really sad as its my favorite close quarter battle scope... please fix this and/or add it to the current bug list!

    Hello 🙂

    you can't attach the BUIS to the UMP or the MP5 but ONLY the M4A1. This is not a bug, it's meant to be like that sorry ^^'

    Inside your mission folder you should see another folder named "db". Open the file named "Types.xml"

    You have all the spawnable items in it

    the min value is the minimum amount of this item that need to be on the map

    max value is... Well you know the max allowed on the map

    nominal is what the server is going to spawn (in short, the max value is a hard stop while nominal is a soft stop)

     

    Mods can be used to tweak "hard coded" stuff like the health of a item or damage values for example. Lot's of choice here

    Scripts are mostly used to tweak the weather, clothing for fresh spawn. A lot more could be done but I just want to help you to see what is mostly used for what ^^

    @Lt.Master

    Fixed: AI could teleport, visually appear where it was not positioned or be positioned at roofs

    It's in the change log, why it should not be done right? 

     

    I hope, that they are aware, but I don't wanna wait another month or more to next update, only with hope, that they will do something about it.. 

    + Now some zombies don't have a hitbox.. You can shoot whole magazine to them, fight them with knife, but you will not be able to kill them.. 

     

    As I said, on pc it's still the case so nope not fixed x)

    Zombies still spawn on roofs (not spawn, they somehow teleport there, when they chase me.

    Zombies comes thru you, while in fight with them. 

    Players character strangely moves around zombie while in fight. 

    Those issues are also on pc and it was never said it will be fixed for 1.04 on console

    I have heard, that on Xbox, there is a big improvement in performance on both types of Xboxs..

    But on PS4? Standard PS4 now even lag in small villages (my internet works fine). Aiming with scope in city? Wau, FPS drop big as cow, everything grey, or lime green.. Still same as in previous update.

    Rendering is now even worst.. It's happen right ahead of you (10 meters). Zombies are grey, even if they get close to you.

    [...]

    I hope, there will be a hot fix coming in the next week.. I don't wanna to wait to next update.. 

    BI got seperated team for consoles, but now it seems like they need seperated team for each type of console. 

    Seems odd, they probably had to priotitize the optimisation on xbox first maybe ?

    Hi Guys,  I just wanted to voice a concern, and I hope a Dev might address it.  Its with the upcoming Survivor Games.  It is my hope, that BI is NOT pulling assets away from the development of DayZ, in order to push out this Survivor gamez..  I like the idea of the gamez, but I like more then anything the idea of the Dev Team, continuing to further develop and flesh out this great game we love called DayZ.  So, any info would be appreciated...  Thanks.. 

    Hello 🙂

    The Survivor GameZ is a seperate team from the DayZ team. This new team is composed of 10(more or less sometimes) people working on this project for months now.

    Like @ThePugman said, the team can indeed help the Dayz team if needed. But the work done on this dlc The Survivor GameZ can also be transfered to the base game if needed. This dlc is also a great place to test some ideas and features in a earlier stage, the best example being Hordes.

    This dlc seems to be a dev idea and not a idea from bohemia. If you take a look on their discord they are all very active and passionate to their project but also dayz, some of them even stream dayz on twitch btw.

    In short, take the Survivor GameZ as a testing ground. Everything good from this dlc could be used for dayz as well and help the dev working on this dlc to discover new stuff on the road.

    Bohemia is a company, if money continue to come why should they drop dayz ? A lot of console users bought the game and the private servers on console are going to make quite some money for the team. And we are not even talking about dayz pc sells since release and merch.

    Heh, no... not a rant thread. 😉

    Got two questions:

    1) Is this the place to discuss it, or is there another part of the forum (or another website)?

    2) I was passed a key, not an official email although I did sign up, but I am unable to connect. Is there something else I need to do?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello 🙂

    1. The official place to talk about the Survivor GameZ is on the official discord linked along the key cd you recieved in your the same mail. But because you recieved a key from a another meaning you should have recieved a private message with the discord link to join us 😉 
      You can also talk about The Survivor GameZ on this forum but you won't be able to talk directly to the dev team or the admin/mod team
    2. Like @ThePugman said, this is indeed looking for a match but due to the low player count you should try to find a match at the peak times indicated on the discord.
      If you have any questions you can find me on this same discord

    I can't understand how I haven't received the key yet, I have sent 5 letters, but haven't arrived yet, I already ask for 2 waves, that is, 10k keys have already been sent, why haven't I received? I tied up the mail when the test just started ... it's not normal and not cool

    Hello, if you have registered you email address at "https://dayz.com/sg-alpha" you should have been placed in a Que with a unique number linked to your email address. If you still haven't got any mails from the Survivor GameZ (think to check your spam and buisness section if there is one). The system is using the logic of "first registered, first served" meaning you can't get a key before other users who ask first.

    So, second round of 5k lot of key been dropped and I never got one still, meh, I did submit my email about when the topic started, no worries seems like it too is goin down the shitter,.. just drop the server files for it and update with the base game and I may forgive who ever the fuck it is 😒, I actually would of played it but by the sounds it hard to even get a match,.. tho im sure influencers got first dibbs and all their lackys/bumbuddies Anyhoo thought id drop a dump here as Ive been mungin mushrooms all frikkin week, jus lick and mung, lick and mung...👃 sometimes shoot sommin... aaand talk to a tree... 👉👌

     

    • If you are still waiting for a key, please check if it's not in your spam or buisness tab in case. A lot of users never activated their keys because they never saw the email. To give a idea, the first wave of last week only saw 2.5k to 3k activated keys.
    • The Survivor GameZ is in a very early stage. This is why it's in a closed alpha and not a public alpha open to everyone and only for the most dedicated players looking to test this dlc and help in his developpement.
    • Server files are currently not planned to be released anytime soon.
    • Indeed player count is quite low for a lot of obvious issues such as Client/Server crash, bugs impacting the matchmaking system (player shells for example) and the players directly (Main Menu UI while playing).
      Even if the servers are much more stable and the game gain as well a lot more stability, there is still a lot of bugs listed to fix.
     
    If you have any questions related to this title you can find me on the official discord of The Survivor GameZ between 9AM CEST and 12PM CEST 🙂

    If that item is going to spawn in Medic loot, in tiers 1-4, why put the tiers at all? If you don't put the tiers, it will spawn in any Medic loot, right?

    TL:DR

    In that case the tiers are useless indeed.
