DayZ Redux - DayZ purist focused custom DayZ Mod (Formerly DayZ DIAF)
RedNome replied to venthos's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Nice one 4L4N, I was wondering for a minute how the hell this had gone off the front page! Vent's doing great work here and I have every faith that he'll be able to deliver so much more in the future for this mod. -

Infact. I'd go a step further if possible, and say a crash could happen randomly within any 2/3 hour period, so if you do find one it will be purely luck which it would be in real life, as you'd never be able to predict when one was going to appear. It would stop squad farming and give everyone a fair chance of stumbling upon the spoils of war. -

That's a fucking great answer. Have some beanZ. -

Do any of the choppers in your mod have radar? -

Yeah, I'd say barracks and heli crash only would make sense for the GPS, try it and see how it pans out, not like I'll ever find one anyway. Fair enough with the restarts. -

How often do you restart the server btw? -

Blimey! and all I've held out that little lot is a M4A1 CCO for about 5 minutes in the barracks at NWAF until someone else walked in and a shootout took place in which we exchanged shots and both died. I'm not very lucky it seems, it's hard work being a lone wolf, although I've only died once so far. -

Well, you wanted the high-end weapons to be hard to come by Vent, I guess you've succeeded, went to the two barracks at NWAF + ATC Tower and hangers, Stary military tents and also a crashed heli I came across. The only weapon I found was a AKS-74U, nothing else of any worth or use at all. Not complaining like, I enjoy the search for the good stuff, makes it all the sweeter when you do come across something worthwhile. -

Not a fan of first person at all, talking about deal breakers, that would probably be one for me unfortunately. But, that's entirely up to Vent to decide, it's his project, and if he feels that's for the best then so be it, I'd have to follow my advice from earlier in the thread and find somewhere else to play. -

I like the idea of only being able to refuel at the airfields, makes more sense, and could create some great dangerous and tense refueling missions for people. Three stations, one at each of Balota, MWAF and NEAF specific for only air vehicles. Not sure about the refuel truck though, would be nice to center activity around the airfields to create some danger and action, unless the truck could be made to only carry enough fuel for one refill at a time maybe? -

And there was me feeling pretty chuffed with myself having managed to fix up an ATV this afternoon. Although I haven't got a squad or anyone helping me so I'm happy with that nonetheless. -

Click the link and you'll see the file name is v0.1.2 so all good, he just hasn't changed the link name itself. -

If these changes are deal breakers for certain people then they can easily find plenty of other servers that suit them better, this one is different and the reason why it is becoming so popular with players that subscribe to Vents vision. -

If it means, as you say, everyone's going to be running around in Ghillies eventually, I'd leave it as it is. Better game mechanics wins out against realism in this instance for me. -

Yeah there's no issue with Zeds at all, I've had plenty of hoards following me so far and shit loads milling around too, they're spawning just fine imo. Edit: Although saying that, if you were to/could crank up the numbers I wouldn't be against it at all. -

I think you share a very common vision with Rocket tbh and I'm sure he'd be interested in what you are doing if he isn't already aware. The chloroform idea especially I think he'd like with his own game style being very much the passive survivor approach from what I can gather. Someone with Twitter access should tweat him the link to this thread, because with so many I'm sure he hasn't got the time to read all of them. -

Yeah the entire sheep poofed. That's interesting, I didn't know how that mechanic worked, makes sense now Vent, cheers. -

Just had another little session, one small bug though, killed a sheep, gutted it, scrolled to gear menu to pick up steaks and it disappears, no meat. So it was I that ended up gutted in the end. I have since successfully gutted and collected meat off a sheep and a cow, so make of that what you will. -

I like the sound of that a lot and I'm loving your vision of how the game should play so far, keep it up. Thanks for all the hard work. -

Yet you felt the need to share this opinion and tell us you won't be playing? If you don't like it, do one, and play somewhere else, no one here gives a damn about your opinion. -

Had two very fun sessions so far, bagged myself a nice AKM with 6 clips, side arm, so good to go. My only issue so far is a couple of graphical fire bugs where there seems to be a mushroom epicenter and then the whole sky around it with flames, but only when looking at it, turn away and it's gone. There was one north of Zelen, not sure what was causing it, and one at NWAF being caused by a burned out heli there right outside the southern most hanger. Great server, sign up peeps. -

Yeah I found a beat up vehicle earlier and everything else so far seems to be working fine too. So far so good. -

Very much interested in this, will check it out later on. A European server would be great, but I'll see how I go ping wise on this one for now as a UK resident. I'm on board with all your changes listed so far. One thing that might be considered if possible that I've always wished for is to have the hatchet take up the secondary weapon slot instead of primary so it can be used very effectively as a silent zombie killer whilst still having good access to your primary as needs be for PVP encounters? -
Indeed. I noticed a poster's sig earlier today that had some figures for this (can't remember who), according to that there are around 245,000 players on private hives right now. If that is true then the health of this mod and the standalone's future are more than healthy. I obviously can't vouch for these figures but it was certainly something that caught my eye.

Nice one, thanks for that. Beans.
