Oh, weird, Steam just updated it today. Not sure how I was accessing content with outdated files. Guess the server updated correctly, but my PC didn't update... but then how the heck did I join the server without the same game version? Usually I get booted from the server with a warning that the client has a different version when the server and client don't match. Oh, well, it's working now.

Been a while since I did anything with this game, and I seem to have run into an issue. Probably a simple solution I just forgot how to do. Seems when I search (ctrl+F in Notepad++) the types.xml file for the new items (such as Offroad_02, IZH18Shotgun, Blowtorch, etc.), they are nowhere to be found. Am I looking in the wrong folder? The path I got the types.xml file from on my server is "mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/db" What's weird is I know the items are available as I can spawn them in via VPP Admin Tools. Again, it's been a while, so forgive me for forgetting which folder has the file I need. Would appreciate the assist.

Building a bed would be a really great addition! I would suggest the recipe be 4 short sticks and rope to craft a bed placement kit. From there, you'd place 2 firewood to make the head and foot of the bed (placed about 2m apart, laying down, and parallel). Then 4 sharpened sticks for the bed posts (placed at the ends of the 2 pieces of firewood), requiring a hatchet or hammer to drive them in (think tiny fence posts or large tent stakes). Now place 3 large logs (running the length of the bed, parallel to each other, the ends resting on top of the 2 firewood and between the 4 bed posts). This would get you a basic bed with a 90 second respawn timer. The optional upgrade would be to attach 2 of any skinned hides or 60 cloth rags to create bedding, and it would reduce the respawn timer to 30 seconds. While making an improvised bed IRL can use better materials, obviously we have to consider the limitations of DayZ. The overall design I'm suggesting is based on a pretty standard bushcraft design (see image below): Another common design, yet more complicated (could be an upgrade option to further decrease respawn time to 15 seconds) would be this one:

Definitely a cool idea! Just be sure to remove your backpack and head gear. XD

Yeah, it's kinda annoying that we have to quit the server before respawning to customize our character. It'd make more sense if when we respawn it'd ask if we want to customize our appearance, or just randomly choose if you're in a hurry. Better yet, why not just have us respawn with the character preset we already named and picked clothing for previously in the main menu?
