disorder

Yes its just for layout. I could move some of the OP's artwork into place over some of mine if he gave me permission. I am a programmer, but I always think less is more when it comes to my GUI's I like my most powerful features under menus and everything you access quickly to be easy to find. Also I like the GUI's in online games such as wow and star wars galaxies. With inventory right next to char sheet for easy access to slots.

A strange collector of discarded bootlaces for some reason and not forgetting the cockroaches he tied bunny ears to; Fluffy and Sprinkles, may they keep on giving.. as dietary fibre.

I would agree it is a little cluttered too, perhaps moving of the melee and toolbelt into some kind of drop down panel. Otherwise everything is fairly easy to spot. I like the fact you have 2 primary weapon slots :) The learning curve with the menu seems very high, you are quite literally putting similar things all over the place, like maps down near your legs and torches near the jacket. IMHO you should have everything grouped together in panels. Character slots all in one area, tools and weapons can show up in your inventory as selected or numbered. here is what I mean using the magic of paint The black bit on the side would be Collapsible, as would the red tool bar only show up when you double click or drag an item to assign it.

Actually the stupidest thing I've seen was something I did, unintentionally. Basically it was due to the bug in arma of running you slightly forward before dropping in the prone position, but I was on top of the schoolhouse/office building thing near the supermarket so it ended up automatically running me off into the air like one of those road runner cartoons and falling to my incapacity and immediate death.

I remember doing something similar except I was the one with melee. I was heading to balota to check for mil spawns when someone came from the hangar with an mp5.. soo I ran at him with my hatchet while weaving like a zombie, he couldnt kill me and the noise attracted more Z's so he bolted up the tower and I chased him and then we ran around the outside of the glass dome thing like a cartoon chase. him stopping to try and aim and me closing the gap while he did, then him turning and running again. That was a fun 15 mins.

If you block arma in your firewall or router then I think it causes BE updating issues. When BE is not updated or not working it kicks you, unless BattlEye = 0 is set in that server's config file.

When you install the game from steam, you need to run it at least once from steam to set up the registry.. Then Dayz Commander finds ARMA automatically.

Friggin awesome dude

Use over-rendering instead of AA, its better and about the same cost. Basically put 3d res on 114%, turn off AA, post processing and atoc

I disagree strongly as I always head towards the deer stands north to get easy loot, also its not that far from Balota.

Why not just put in mountable horses.. or cows.. mooo! A train hand car would be ok I suppose. A bit metro 2033 ish.

Where's Rocket?

Some damn good photoshopping here, funny thread.

It's less of a problem if you have Dayz Commander, but more of a problem if you are hosting from your own PC (private hive) as the server will show errors if it can't find all the files.

I thought scene complexity was 50000, but honestly the engine changes it by itself and adjusts when it needs to

It's normal, it is actually the default death state when you die in custom missions and is built into ARMA, not dayz. You have to override it to get respawning at location/ respawn with team. It's a bug that will go away on a new life usually. Also I wish more people would play ARMA before they jumped into DayZ, you'd actually learn that.

Just load up ARMA and use the Armex/armoury training centre, it has everything you could want to test. Guns, tanks and helis along with small vehicles. Multiplayer armex is avavilable too.

I nearly spat coffee on my screen.

Restore the GPU_MaxFramesAhead GPU_DetectedFramesAhead to 100, it will cause glitches at 1 from what I've seen. Its a nice compromise over 1000. scene complexity should also be default. Turn off post processing, antialiasing and alpha to coverage. Hdr low- med Shadows high Textures and object detail high Memory default If you want a smoother anti aliasing effect, try 3d rendering on 114%, leave interface at 100% Make sure render distance is under 2000 Get back to me if you still have issues.

Funny, I just posted about this recently I do run a private hive when requested, its unmodded with only a few small rules but you are welcome along.

How about poppet?

WarZ is dead. long live DayZ

I actually try and play on unmodded vanilla, usually public. Though I will take a look at the harder modes, as long as they don't make too drastic alterations and everything is known to the public. (no secret things or special privilages etc)

How about 9x a visible and audible target too? ;) I agree. I think the key idea is about fear and uncertainty etc. The best stories/interactions always involve raw emotion and surprise. It's also about pride of accomplishments.

"and seem to have semi-transparent borders" Woah woah, turn off alpha to coverage(ATOC ) and AA in game. Shadows and ultra high settings will stress a lot of pcs out too, leave them on high at most. Turn off post process and put the game resolution up to 114% and keep interface on 100% and use the 'over render' technique* which gives anti aliasing effect. Personally I think it's either a vsync issue (try and force on, or at least adaptive) or possibly an anisotropic issue (try 4x or 8x) Visibility distance is in meters, 2000 being 2km, you can't see that far anyway. 1500 is more than enough. * Patent Pending
