Hey there, I've never been able to successfully set up a server for DayZ. I recently went through a very comprehensive walkthrough on how to do it but, it is still quite vague and assumes you already know what you are doing with the setup and logging into your server. This is the walkthrough I was using (and so far is the best guide I've seen): http://www.tunngle.n...-in-one/http:// So I'm pretty sure I have all the files and patches and etc I could possibly need. My first problem is I can't figure out how to 'setup' my server in administrator mode. My Second problem I don't even know if the server is being created when I activate the .bat file. It brings up the Arma2 Console Window and Says the host is created but, I don't know for sure. My third problem is I don't know how to make sure all the settings are correct in terms of item spawn and Z spawn. My fourth problem is how do I even connect to my server, I've read so many articles on creating DayZ servers but, no one seems to be able to give me a clear example and idea of what the end product should look like. Can anyone help?

Hey Survivors and Bandits, I was just thinking that maybe Chenarus could just be one province in the world of DayZ. I've run the entire length of Chenarus, from NW Airfield, to North East Airfield, Guba Bay, Cherno, Elektro, Msta, Stary Sobor. I don't think there is a single area of Chenarus that I haven't been to now. But I can't help but feel smothered. I can understand some peoples immediate objections. 225km2 is a huge space but, I am not the best or most seasoned DayZ player and yet Chenarus doesn't seem big enough. I can't seem to hide a camp or vehicle without it being found. I can't seem to build a hq in DayZ because everyone knows where everything is. I would like to suggest that maybe Chenarus be just one map of DayZ amongst a handful. Chenarus has been walked by everyone dozens of times. No where seems to be fresh or undiscovered; which is something you would expect from a post apocalyptic wasteland. Perhaps Rocket's team could design other maps that connect to Chenarus and divide them with loading zones. I don't want to seem ungreatful for the size of DayZ, I just would like to see actual colonies starting emerge from DayZ; different societies of survivors and perhaps just maybe somewhere that you can call home. Perhaps a place worth defending? I just want to see DayZ keep evolving from and carrying on with the same raw survival experience it started with. -SixT

True-beans. Much loot?

I think I will, thanks for the suggestion. From what I understand, Lingor is more combat based; in your face sort of experience?

In the NW?

Hey there, Are the CCO Assault Rifle Variations compatible with night vision goggles?

OH SWEET!

Hey there, From what I know about DayZ, your character is stored at the hive and is registered to your CD-key. If you were to change your name on your OA/Arma2 Profile, will it erase your hive character? Or will the name simply swap, because it is linked to your cd-key?

Hey there, I'm looking for a reliable, long term server to start playing on. I recently had a vehicle which was absolutely packed out with guns, tools and rare items and the server was pulled down and discontinued. You can imagine how disheartened my partner Survivor and I was. Do you know of any servers that have been around for a while and will likely hang around for a while?

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I'm located in AUS, for those who were asking. As long as I get a ping under 300 I'm pretty happy.

If you figure out how to make your own deds server, can you post the steps on here?

Hey there, I was thinking about something the other day, that came to mind when I was walking up a stairwell in DayZ and I was unable to turn around with my rifle drawn. I like the way that when you have a gun that extends a fair bit away from your body, that you can't turn against a wall and must find enough room to turn with your weapon protruding. I related this game physic between DayZ and Red Orchestra 2. Like or loath Red Orchestra, they did have some innovative weapon and terrain collision physics. Could the development team make you automatically withdraw your weapon against your body, like in red orchestra? It would temporarily make you unable to fire or at least fire strait and it wouldn't sacrifice your proximity to a wall; for examples sake if you were wanting to peak around a corner of a wall, while very close to it or peak over a chest high wall. Does anyone support this sort of weapon physics integration amongst survivors and bandits?

I totally agree. I recently found and built a V3S (IN THE DARK) and I am very protective of this mobile camp as it is packed full of goodies. I believe if you found a survivor with car keys on them it would give you a very exciting objective of trying to find the nearby car and the person that lost their keys would have the chance of tracking down the bandit that killed and took the keys and get their vehicle back. I think it would add a fantastic element to the game. I think if hot wiring kits were introduced, they should be extremely rare. I would be so pissed off if someone stole my car, without having the manners to shoot me in the face first.

Well DayZ is constantly being updated and made better(including the animations); just making your weapon lower when you bump into a wall, to improve mobility won't compromise the game type and overall experience.

Sweet. I'll try it out too.

Hey there, I'm thinking about transfering my combined ops data from my pc to laptop so I can go to a friends house and play DayZ together. I was going to just transfer all of the combined ops files to my laptop but, I really just want the DayZ game save with all my stuff in it. Where in the (steamapps>common>Arma2/Arma2 OA) folder is the save data for my DayZ character?

Hey there, I haven't been able to join a server for DayZ since I updated to 1.7.2.4 I don't have any errors or anything I just get stuck on the loading screen. And before you can say "Just be patient", I have been playing DayZ since 1.7. I know how long the loading phase should take and I know when it stops on the "loading" section of the connection for too long, you have no hope. I've kept my DayZ version up to date with an updater. I've updated my Arma2 Version. My battle-eye is up to date. I'm currently using DayZ Commander and it is telling me that there are plenty of games that match my version but, I just can't seem to connect to any. I spent the last 3 Days for 2-3 hours each day just trying to connect to a game and was only successful once.

I don't know how to do that either. Plus I'd have to get a server that is on shore to me, otherwise I'd just be wasting my time.

Hey Guys, Recently I found a GPS and I am using it in conjunction with a map to navigate my way around. I can see myself on the map but, one day I saw another blip on the map. My location is listed as 'sniper' I think because I either have a sniper or because I have a gillie suit. But not 300m away was another blip that said 'sniper' as well. Do people with gps' see your gps blip and can you see theirs? Or was this just some kind of glitch? Because I now know that maps are linked to eachother regardless of who has them.

I was just thinking if I just so happened to be on a server with a guy with a gps as well and he knows where I am (because I play on random servers, depending on ping and number of players), maybe I should leave my gps in my backpack till I need it. So he can't see me.

Hey guys, Had a strange thing happen to me. I found a map and decided to make a little camp near a town so I can thoroughly search it and I marked my camp on the map. I got chased away from my camp because I heard gunfire and bailed (luckily not leaving anything at the camp) but, when I looked on my map to check my next destination. I could see many other map pinpoints that I had not physically entered myself. Do you share map locations with other players? Did I tell everyone on the goddamned map where I was? haha

Hey Guys, Just wondering how to pick up a fireplace in DayZ after you have used it. Resource; http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Fireplace Quote: "Make sure you pick up your fireplace after you make a fire or you will be unable to create another until you log in again."

Hey Guys, I recently updated to 1.7.1.5 and it's great. I don't know if anyone else has these problems with it though... -Most of the time I will spawn in the game with waypoints where all the other players are. -My Sound and Vision indicators aren't functioning -No Zeds spawn or I can't see or interact with them at all -All my Blood, Hunger, Thirst, Temp will all reset to Green and won't deteriorate. -No loot good loot spawns It happens a lot. I'm using the latest version and beta from Six Launcher. I'm not really sure what the problem is...

Hey guys, I've been playing DayZ for number of months and tried different updaters and manual updates to keep track of the current version. I recently updated to 1.7.1.2 which is awesome but there aren't many servers available to me with good ping and they are often overcrowded. I really want to know if there is an updater that stockpiles DayZ Versions for you? So you can play on any server Version. Or... can anyone direct me to a DayZ version Database, so I might keep my own stockpile and alternate. Can someone give a suggestion? (Please don't suggest "just stay with current version") Thank you for your time and suggestions. -SixT
