I've posted this several times over the past couple of days but: They do not spawn period. They are no longer in ANY loot table in the 1.7.2.3 version. I have confirmed this by searching for both the sniper and camo skin, 0 results. Where as 1.7.1.5 has it in heli crash, residential etc.

Where as 1.7.1.5 has it in heli crash, residential etc. Here is the complete loot table and all from the dayz_code.pbo config.bin file, be my guest to double check it: -
DayZ Achievements (yes, from the .pbo file itself)
kicktd posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
DayZ has achievements they just are not implemented yet, and as you can tell by some, rocket does clearly make this a PvP game: So what do you think of rockets achievements list so far? -
DayZ Achievements (yes, from the .pbo file itself)
kicktd replied to kicktd's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If they are old and not planned to be implemented they need to be taken out of the pbo file. Perhaps this is why so many bugs creep in, the directory for the pbo isn't kept "clean" in a sense. -
Re: vehicles and loot I've experienced this just RUNNING into a town, you're going "too fast" for the server to register you're there and to start spawning items. Fix is just to back away about 100-120m from the town or building and slowly approach and loot will have spawned. Very annoying but yet another bug that we don't know when it will be fixed.

Yeah the Tent duping bug IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE PLAYER AND THE PLAYER SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR IT. Try FIXING it instead of just letting it go on and then MAYBE we wouldn't have this tent duping issue? I've got tents in my camp I don't want and I've constantly packed them up, run them over, destroyed them etc. and they come back next server reboot so what am I to do? I've had gear in the tents so I just end up packing up the tent and leaving the gear that respawned with the tent to poof away after some time. Is this my fault? No. This has been an issue since I started playing DayZ and if I was to get a ban because of this, you'd bet I'd be appealing it big time because it's not right in my eyes to ban someone for something they have NO control over. How about fixing the buggy code and then if it still goes on start the ban hammer?

Only bear trap I saw was on someones dead body at NWAF which promptly disappeared from my inventory next login, horray! I've searched and cleaned out farms and gone back several times a day with no luck yet, so still a very rare spawn in my eyes.
-
ROCKET: Fix the tent duping bug already before your staff gets even more upset about tents/gear being duped that we as players can not help nor do anything about. I've got a few tents I wanted to get rid of but nope, every server reboot they are back and so is the gear that was inside of them. So yeah, FIX please?

A post I did in another ghillie suit thread:
-
use a tin can or empty soda can, 1 toss = broken glass. I've had to empty almost 2 clips into a hospital window before it broke in the past, now I just toss 1 can and I'm in.
-
Must have been on a server that wasn't running 1.7.2.3 as they are no longer in the loot tables for now until rocket fixes some things with them.
-
Nope still in the game, taken from the current 1.7.2.3 dayz_code.pbo but a really rare spawn in the barracks only at the NWAF
-
Since tents are server based, I wish I knew how the (MySQL I'm guessing) database was setup that stores tent info, I'd make a tool for server admins to run once a week to clean up tents that either players have already died or haven't been used in a weeks time (not placing an item and removing it, but actually SAVED) but since I don't run a server I shall never know how it's setup, but making such a tool would probably "be against the server hosting rules" but I don't see why it should be because honestly it helps the server run better. This bugs me because I have old tents in my camp from where I died I no longer use and want gone but alas they are like roaches, they survive everything including a nuclear blast >_<.
-
I noticed in another thread someone had looted some "pipe bombs" from a tent and everyone was telling him they were most likely hacked weapons, well believe it or not they are not, they are just an extremely rare spawn like the m16a4 and m107 spawning in the barracks. Proof? From the dayz_code.pbo bin file (arma 2 tools allows you to unpack pbo's and bin files): So if you find some pipe bombs don't ditch them and think they are hacked weapons, they are legit ;). Just thought I'd post this for anyone who wanted to know if they are legit or not.

Sounds like a Alt+F4'er and server hopped to kill you.

Love my Logitech G19 keyboard. Got a script setup with the Game Profiles manager that I can hit the G1 key and it will "hold down" the forward key for me, hit G2 and it releases it. So now I have auto-run for when I need it. For others who don't have a G19/G15 keyboard there are a ton of free macro/hotkey programs out there.

I think most of the major bugs have already been reported here, many many times. No I haven't listened to any of his live streams, if that's what he wants it to be than so be it I'm all for it, but we are FAR from that point right now, and I don't think it's currently possible with the current engine to do most of the things suggested so until the game gets put on its own engine we just have to go with what limitations there are with the current one. Suggestions are fine but right now 90% of things suggested above are not possible I don't believe with the current engine and probably won't be for a good while until we're into beta status at the earliest, which is a far ways off, just look at how many bugs we have with the current small amount of items and all in the game? Imagine if he implemented some of the stuff like guns jamming etc. mentioned above, it would create even more bugs with the current engine/code than it would add to the game and is not worth it at this point. Rocket really needs to get a KickStart going so he can get a good team together and build DayZ on a decent engine instead of relying on the current Arma 2 engine and its limitations. I mean what he's done so far is great, but I think it could be EVEN BETTER if he had support and money to actually help the development process along. I want a good Zombie Apocalypse game just like everyone else and I think DayZ is way on its way there, rocket just needs some more support and a good engine that will allow him to actually do things he wants without having to worry about bugging up 10 other things for adding 1 thing in.

Do ghillie/camo clothing spawn in residential still?
kicktd replied to Mr.Glowsticks's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Some people are reporting inventory issues while logging out/in with the ghillie suit on, I personally haven't had any problems *fingers crossed* with mine (lucky I had a spare after the one I had on got wiped in 1.7.2 :( ) so that's probably why they aren't in at the moment, probably will return as soon as he fixes the issues with them, don't see any reason for them not to be in honestly. -
Do ghillie/camo clothing spawn in residential still?
kicktd replied to Mr.Glowsticks's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
As of the current release of 1.7.2.3 nope, they don't spawn anywhere and they've been removed from the loot tables. Will they be added back in? Don't know, that's up to rocket but for now, if you're hunting for one you can stop, they no longer spawn. -
Do ghillie/camo clothing spawn in residential still?
kicktd replied to Mr.Glowsticks's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I've looked in the bin file (yay for arma 2 tools) and no longer see either the camo or the ghillie suit in the loot table for any of the classes be it military, residential or heli crash. They use to be listed under heli crash also so they are gone from there also. I searched the whole .bin file for Skin_Camo1 and Skin_Sniper1 in 1.7.2.3 and it no longer appears in ANY of the loot tables. -
I know what MMO stands for, do you know what a MUD is without even Googling it? this is far from an MMO, is CoD an MMO? Is Battlefield an MMO? Nope and their servers host more players than any of the current servers for DayZ. Do these servers support 100+ players on them at any given time? Nope. Are these servers hosted by the company themselves? Nope, hosted by other people just like us. Far from an MMO. As for the kiddo comment, I am far from a kiddo and "grown things to discuss"? Haha ok, you continue on in your fantasy land. I wasn't flaming anyone just stating that the way it was sounding was lets turn this from DayZ into that other game! I'm all for improvements but some of these suggestions are just silly and are MMOish.
-
From all the posts above, sounds like you guys want to turn this game more into an MMO than a sandbox game. If you want an MMO wait until that other care bear zombie MMO comes out and flock to it.

Can confirm this. Found one out in the middle of no where, no dead zeds around it and they started spawning as I approached, loot: 2 empty cans and pain killers. Found another one at NWAF loot: 1 FN-FAL (don't need it tyvm though) and uh some tin cans...that was it. Seems loot at heli crashes are now mostly trash with the every now and again surprise tossed in unlike it use to be where 1st one to find a heli crash was rewarded with something nice, not saying the FN-FAL isn't nice but yeah I've had a couple and hardly ever used them, maybe twice total. Use to be I could find at least 1 DMR at at least 1 heli crash, nope. I've been hunting for one for awhile now and can't find a single one at any heli crash I happen upon. It's all either trash, meds or weapons I don't need (L85 WOULD be nice though).
-
Which doesn't really fix any of the main issues we are having with DayZ itself which will only be fixed by updated the dayz_code file which only rocket is doing, so until that happens any of the current issues won't be fixed by any of these beta patches =\. EDIT: Like the current issue that JUST happened to me: I spawned at a respawn point even though I left off well inland yet spawned on the beach with all my gear. None of the beta patches has yet to fix that and that has been reported for a good while now.
-
Haven't seen rocket post anything in awhile about any upcoming fixes or anything. Can we get a dev or someone from the staff in here to at least give us a heads up on what's to come? I mean we ARE alpha testing this and providing tons of feedback, but not hearing any word about things going to be fixed etc. is kind of a let down and even worse is having beta patches flying out every other day it seems along with new BattlEye downloads, but no word about DayZ mod itself.
