    Christmas Event Types.xml

    same here. the gift boxes only leave some gift wrap paper when opening. also other stuff spawns around the trees, like waterbottles. would be nice to only have the gift boxes around it. but as the gift boxes are tagged as "containers", this doenst seem possible? and whats the difference between "fixed" and "uniform" in the events.xml? some documentation would be nice. here its try and error for a week.

    need some help with types.xml

    yea the car will instantly charge the battery, so that won't help setting it to 1 😞 i guess its not possible then, which is a bummer.

    need some help with types.xml

    i want to spawn car- and truck-batteries empty, zero charged, so people are forced to use the battery charger before able to drive. in the types.xml i used this values: <quantmin>0</quantmin> <quantmax>0</quantmax> and they spawn fully charged 100%. the server has been wiped, so there are no leftovers and before it was set to to quantmin 10 and quant max to 90 and that worked fine. can't i use zero values on this? if i set it to -1 they spawn also fully charged of course.

    Disinfecting water bottles/canteens...

    no cross contamination, only the flew can travel to nearby players when coughing/sneezing in their face (if no face cover is used).

    Disinfecting water bottles/canteens...

    there's no need (for now) to clean containers. not the containers are contaminated, but the water in it.

    I don't understand the food change

    yea its a good change and more user friendly. actually u will starve slower til death, as u get the warnings earlier (yellow food indicator in the hud).

    some touchs about dayz nowadays

    hmm its way more risky now to visit crashsites, cos everyone within a km will be alerted and probably go for it. i met many encounters at crashsites in 1.14 - way more than before. and if u get your hands on an svd or fal - u surely want some mags for it - and those for example only spawn in tier 4 area. i think it was a great change with 1.14, adding crashsounds and toxic zones. meeting players now in previous more or less abandoned areas of the map. people take hospital/firestation routes to get the nbc stuff. cernaya polana is a good example - this place was dead before 1.14 - now people go there just for the firestation.

    Cheaters 2021

    this thread is scary and fascinating at once. was this discussion worth the effort? will anything change? any solutions provided? theres only two things u can do to MINIMIZE the chance of meeting cheaters: 1. avoid official servers, if u have to question every 2nd death 2. find a popular community server - dayone and spaggies servers were mentioned here. if those servers would be infested by cheaters, i doubt they would be as popular as they are. cheating is a big business in every more or less popular online video game. its the sad truth. when cheaters got finally banned, the hackers will already have new updated cheats available for your next account.
  10. ah alright. i always use the folder names the map provides and theres no sign how OP called that folder.
  11. in the server config: shouldnt it be "empty.banov" instead of "dayzoffline.banov"? https://github.com/KubeloLive/Banov

    <rant/>

    vehicles only despawn when the engine got ruined. so that 5-6 vehicles could be easily repaired as u said. or shoot the engine so it can despawn. max amount of vehicle type is 11, minimum 5. 5 vehicle types = 55 vehicles. even if they all reached their minimum amount, there would be still 25 around. (vanilla chernarus)

    <rant/>

    adding stamina to the game was the best decision by devs in the past 3 years. this endless, constant running, no matter the amount of weight u carry, just zero penalty, no advantage for a player who picks his gear wisely and travelling light. how can this be a bad thing? u worry about flying cars and want bicycles next? :))))) theres up to 55 vehicles on the map btw and its no big challenge to get one. i liked the unconscious state more too in the "old" game. it was a real pain. this few second blackouts are not enough - its been tweaked to longer times in 1.15, but its still too fast. new engine and just a few devs.

    1.15 Experimental Release

    this question is as old as the game. the answer is simple and will always be: no sometimes we get noticed a day before, sometimes a few hours before it hits stable. sometimes it takes a week from exp to stable, sometimes a month. edit: so they just announced it already for next week. 23rd nov

    Namalsk types_dzn.xml file?

    the dzn file has the extra namalsk items. dunno why its seperated from the other types files. just use both and edit to your liking. items from other mods i would add to the basic types.xml files.

    Cannibalism rework.

    dunno how u would eat "accidently" human meat, but ok. im fine if they balance it a bit, so the kuru only kicks in if u eat x amount of human steak. i did already quote the wiki part about the laughter. that was wrong i supposed so i asked YOU... and now i should read up about it again? whatever

    Cannibalism rework.

    i really dunno whats the obsession with eating human meat. if theres no penalty, i can guarantee u people would just KOS more and they would eat the human meat anyway - nutrition or not - just cause they can. so hows the kuru in real life, as the wiki quote didnt satisfy u. and which of those consequences should/could make it into the game? making the nutrition value lower: is that closer to how kuru works?

    Zombies ruin PVP

    game works as intended. i call that "good" too.

    Cannibalism rework.

    dunno what your problem is and in which ever way i should find out about kuru. should i start eating human meat? did you? so whats the outcome? no morality? thats up to every each individual i guess - doesnt need an apocalypse for that.... there should be a penalty for sure. else there would be even more murdering and less interactions than we already have. theres also enough food in the game, so noone really is forced to eat humans in order to survive....

    Cannibalism rework.

    "...the individual shows signs of emotional instability and depression, yet exhibits uncontrolled and sporadic laughter." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)
  22. i understood. there should be a very low chance to have parts on the car (apart from the doors), its the apocalypse in the end. but yea, having this parts (if u lucky enough to have them) being locked is a great idea, since we already have that feature since some patches.
  23. yea, the lifetime of this plants seem way too short. i dont mind that it takes time to grow those, but they should last way longer.
  24. i totally disagree. cars should be very finale. u can keep that doors, hoods and trunks (theres your 80%), but wheels, radiators, sparkplugs, headlighs and batteries should have a very low chance to have that parts. gas should be at zero at all times and the batteries should be empty, so people have to recharge them first. still waiting for the engine oil to make a return.
