It is highly corrossive but what is your other option for "easy to make" powder?

Black powder is "relatively" easy to produce, sulfur, salpeter and coal. It's really less than ideal in modern rifles tho. You can build "working" homemade primers from soda cans andhimpact sensitive compound such as those found in some foreworks, if you won't or can't synthetise them.

DayZ characters are not soldiers they are survivors.

Yes but you do not die "on the spot" from the thrauma itself, unless your brain, heart or lungs just got perforated (there is probably a few other lethal shots but i'm not a doctor).

Just add shoutcast stream support to ingame radios and mp3 players, then make it so player clients auto connect to that stream and play the closest radio, if they are close enough to hear it, that is.

I don't think any shot that doesn't land in the ribcage or the head should ever kill you instantly. But at this point i consider the ribcage and head to be equal in term of letality. Gut shots do not kill you, not instantly that is, and neither do any bullet landing in your limbs, they do tend to make you bleed.

New threads veer off topic really quickly these days...

Yeah sure why not. I do hope it will be fairly useless :)

I don't think we will get any real drinks in the SA :)

Why is it that so many people assume that the entire world isn't gone to shit? It's pretty clear it has. There is no UN, or military to save the people, they are all dead or turned to looting like everyone else.

The main issue we have with using arma2 as a base is the modding ability. Arma was designed to be very flexible in this regard, and that's also why it's so easy to cheat on it. I doubt that there will be "much" in term of modding on DayZ because there is a lot of things from the arma engine that need to be bolted shut. And saying that DayZ should have modding because it wouldn't have existed without it is a non argument.

Well if you can't be arsed to hit space between each words, i can't be arsed to read it.

parachutes... So what do you do of the spinning thing that is stuck on the roof of your helicopter?

Oh i totally do not expect them to give us a free lunch , especially considering how long thos map take to make.

Gotta love people who hang out in a zombie survival game forum and ask for them to be removed. People have been awfully polite with you so far, i guess i'll be blunt. The door is here -->[]

Well maybe they'll offer a "DayZ extended" if you own arma3 and dayZ. I don't see them "offering" it

How about... english. I'm sorry if it sounds mean but ... really.

The thing is that cars are ment to crumple. When the car absorb the energy of the impact by crumpling, that's energy that is not exerced on you, the pilot. If the car doesn't crumple or absorb the shock in any way this shock will be directly transfered to you.

It's not as simple as the old fashioned "strip and cross" or "screwdriver in key slot". but it's a car, it's not a vault, it will eventually start. Frankly cars with a lot of electronics will be the first ones to break in real scenario, all these extra elements will impact it's reliability in a survival situation. And i mean someone who can't take your car would make sure you won't be able to use it either if he can get away with it.

And why is it a problem that people can steal your car, it's up to you to ensure the safety of your gear. For gameplay reason no security should EVER be ultimate otherwise you have to deal with the "litter" from players that left the server or simply do not come online enough to deserve the benefits of a persistent asset, maybe a key per vehicle type but making a skeleton keyset wouldn't be that hard really. Well technically if you hotwired your car, it is still hotwired when you exit it. It's some form of "repair" or modification in a way ( If you consider a keyhole to be a faulty element :) ) Ownership beyond crude lock and key systems is a very bad idea, this isn't the kind of game where you want ownershipo to be built into the game code. And for vehicles, if you have a look at some lockpicking youtube videos, you will realise that car locks and ignition locks are very very very easy to bypass (for most of them). The reason it's relatively secure is because it's instantly suspicious looking to do that anywhere but on the side of a deserted road. Of course there are electronic locks now, but then you only have to hack into the onboard computer. Which, as has been shown in hacking conventions, is painfully easy if you have unrestricted physical access to the vehicle.

/me facepalm. Bandits are not a faction. They also kill other bandits, they don't really have common interests.Define 'under control'.There are no AI humans in DayZ and won't be any from my understanding.Who secure this "ownership" you speak off. You do realise that without police protection only you can stop people from robbing you.Who will put you in "jailhouse" ?You are assuming that DayZ will have some kind of "gameplay mechanics". It won't, this is essentially a zombie world simulation. If a door can be locked in the SA it's because the game implement a concept of locked doors which involve a lockj and a key, it would only prevent players to open that door, it would not secure what is behind, or make you the owner of the building or prevent players to bash that door open or find another entrance.

Frankly you don't even need a toolbox...

Maybe not bare fists but anything will do, i've seen an old dude break into his own car on a parking 2 weeks ago as i was on a family lunch, not really a feat.

Car keys are another security that only work in an ordered society, where someone smashing a car window is immediately suspicious.

Because if they cannot have it, neither should you :/ That's also why i'm more in favor of civilian helicopters, not flying bullethoses. Who remembers this?
