Both a final piece and general concept. Either way, I think these lovely jackets deserve an advertisement! Image was made by me in Photoshop, I also made the custom Snow Buddy logo myself. 😊

I have recently had an idea how we can add more creepy masks to the game after we lost the PayDay masks by offering something else; Animal skulls. Wouldn't it look sick if you could craft e.g. a deer skull into a mask by preparing it with a knife/saw and some rope ? I feel this would look epic in the day, and on the other hand really creepy when night comes around. Could add a variant for every suitable animal in the game and even leave it a bit bloodied to make it look even more unhinged. Said blood could maybe be washed off, if one wanted to.

I really do hope the attachable and damagable wheels will actually return. It'd be a shame if they just decided to keep it this way.

Hey all 👋 Now that the vehicles are on a good journey to being fixed, I propose to add another (optional!) component to cars. My idea is that vehicles will require an alternator belt if you want the battery to be charged. In real life the cooling pump is also connected on some cars so realistically the car would overheat without one, but I feel that would be too much. My idea is simply that if you do not have an alternator belt, your battery will slowly drain from simply having the car turned on -due to the sparkplugs doing their job- and also if you have your headlights turned on and such. This would be done in a way where it's not totally obnoxious, just something to think about looting if you don't have one and would like to keep your car without having to charge the battery once in a blue moon. Which also brings me to my next advantage; The battery charger actually getting some use. When have you ever used a battery charger ? I once had to use one due to a bug, that is about it. Now if the vehicles slowly discharge their battery during driving without the alternator belt, you'd have to charge it sometimes, or bother finding the belt. The vehicle could even spawn with the alternator belt if you're lucky. Of course you could also always find a new battery, as they aren't too hard to find in case your battery does actually die after a fair amount of time. I know making the cars more complicated isn't everyone's cup of tea, but this is why this component would be optional. The battery drain time would be done in a way where it's not annoying, but still something to think about. The cars will fully function in this state and the component is absolutely optional, yet if you'd like to keep using your car for more than a trip to Tisy, find an alternator belt so the car will sustain itself with power without you having to do it yourself in your base after extended periods of driving the vehicle. 🙂

There's a variety of items for vehicle maintanance in DayZ, but most of them never see any use. When you crash a car in DayZ even at lower speeds, there is still a good chance you will ruin the engine, the front tires ruin or a bodypart ruins. In my opinion this needs to be changed. We have a pipe wrench, a tire repair kit and epoxy putty in game yet you rarely get to use these as the vehicles are way too fragile and engine, tires and bodyparts will just straight up break beyond the point of repair in most crashes. The way I would balance this is make vehicles with a damaged engine have less power and traction, damaged tires would make your vehicle hard to control, and using epoxy putty on a bodypart would leave visual patches of white epoxy on the bodypart similar to how the damage texture is applied. Your car and it's parts wouldn't break as easily, but instead suffer from negative effects when damaged. Next to the vehicles being buggy, I think this is another point why many people don't touch the vehicles. They are simply too fragile, especially considering any desync will really mess them up if you crash. 😅

Alright. Thanks for the quick answer! Well atleast i asked. This could have taken a very different turn.

Hello everyone So lately I´ve been really diggin DayZ and i love the backpacks,vests,helmets etc. in the game. Now my question is, can i use DayZ Assets to make a modification for another game [Fallout 4] ? I would only use the assets for personal use to play around a bit. Selling or distributing such files is really not my intention. I am asking because i found a pbo manager from Arma 2 and was able to extract files from DayZ but i really don´t feel safe asking on forums on how to convert file types etc. when i don´t know if i´m committing piracy or not. I´d hate to get banned for it so i thought the DayZ Forum is a good start. -Wish
