i think since rocket himself has admited that he cant stop the hackers private servers are the only way this mod can survive and moding i think is the way it can thrive but so far i havent heard much about positive moding just hackers adding new weapons for themselfs so can some people post any info they have on moding can people who own private servers mod things or is there something to stop them from doing so and if not have you seen any servers that have moded some things a example i can think of is that rocket was playing in a live stream a couple of days ago and he was mass killed with the whole server but then everyone came back to life he said some server owners have made it to if you die from a hacker you come back to life with all your gear a easy mod would be adding new guns that can spawn right now there are dozans of guns from arma 2 and its dlc's that rocket hasent used that could be ported to this game and another question i have is what other maps are there in arma 2 i have read about lingor island but from what i can tell its a fan made map it wasent ported form arma 2 so apart from chernarus and lingor island what other maps could be used for dayz another thing is im just wondering what things have you seen in private servers have people made colonies more often for example allso finaly here is my wishlist for things i would like in a moded version of dayz on if the official version more guns being added to the game the pdw should be silenced all the pistols and the 9mm smg's and the shotguns should do more damage the .50 weapons should take up your whole backpack and you can only fire them in prone zombies only dieing from explosions and headshots zombies do much more damage but they break your legs and knock you uncouncious much less often being able to open the inventory whilst runing like in lingor island melee weapons having there own slot customizable charecter and clothing

yeah its a bit retarded the pdw has a silencer but for some reason it dosent work

bump

cool someone wana post a vid of the diferent colors

well thats kinda boring it would be cool if people started making private servers where loads of new guns spawned there are quite allot of guns in arma 2 that for some reason wherent added to the game that could easyly be ported over plus there are other mods where guns could be ported over someone posted that private servers used to be black listed what does that mean exactly

have you seen any hives that have changed things around like adding new weapons

yea rocket has talked about all his grand plans for the stand alone but the mod seams to be more or less abandoned and im not here to whine or discuss about rocket not having all these features i just want to talk about how awsome moding would be and how i think it could save this mod from dieing because if it stays as it is now the mod will be dead within a few months

go down for TL;DR ok so right now the game is kind of shit it seams no bugs have been fixed since the mod was released just a slow build up of new ones now with artifacts and spawning on the coast whenever you join sometimes even without any gear and ofcourse the old ones like breaking your legs for doing pritty much anything other than standing still and ontop of that the hackers wich are the biggest threat most people probabley die at the hands of these pathetic sad fucks more than from anything else and it as of now there isent rearly any way to stop it and rocket dosent seem to be doing anything about all of this and he dosent seem to want the help of the comunity when it comes to adding new features or fixing bugs or tackling hacks allthough some people have been moding/hacking the game themselfs in some positive ways like the addition of lingor island http://www.dayzwiki....i/Lingor_Island and the addition of new weapons being added to the game though so far only d bags seem to do this just to give themselfs a advantage and there is the fairly recent edition of private serves where people have full control over the server TL;DR the game sucks right now rocket is useless maybe we should take things into are own hands it would be cool if some people out there found a way to stop hacking maybe they make a few private servers each on there own seperate hive and they restrict who can join them and if there is a mass kill hack used the person is banned and the players given back there items they could allso fix some of the damn bugs and add allot of new weapons/items into the game right now dayz is very stale compared to what it once was the introducting of moding could breath life back into it imagine a dayz with 100s of diferent weapons where most of the bugs are actualy fixed where hacking is a none issue where people can create there own charecter models/clothes whre ghosting and altf4ing isent a issue where people can actualy build bases/forts in the knolage that it wount be nuked where zombies only die by explosions and headshots where zombies are slow but completly relentless and abel to kill you much more easyly with more enterable buldings and a extended map or even seperate ones like in lingor island with added features like weapons degrading with a crafting system similar to fallout crafting ammo food meds etc i think that would just be god damn amazing and i dont think its a fairy tale ether i dont see why this cant be done can you imagine a dayz developed by not one person but 1000s of people i realise after re reading this that my post kind of comes of a bit dickish toward rocket i respect what he has done i could never manage what he has done but i think he has handeled allot of things in this game porely and i think the comunity could improve dayz significantly

all hail the pc master race /sarcasm seriously though you have issues and its people like you who discorage alot of people into geting into pc gaming

this might sound like a stupid question but i am not a pc gamer i have never played a pc first person shooter and im wondering how the controls work do you use arrows to move your charecter or is it w a s d isent it awkawrd to use the buttons comapred to lets say an anaolg stick or am i missing something because using the arrow buttons or wasd to move your ehcarecter to me would feel incredibly awkward you trying to aim with just those buttons

they arent missed out you can map them to the arrow buttons for example nvg top arrow bandage left range finder right gps and the hatchet can be equiped as a melee weapon not a tool though it would still have the same uses and to view the map you could just press select and switch over to the map like in most games jumping is allways a main button on console you do know that ps3 is six years old not 10 right

you do know right that rocket has anounced that he will port the stand alone to console if he sees a profit in it

yeah you totaly dont come of at all like a 23 year old virgin basement dweller that lives with his parents

many people have been saying that dayz has to many controls and that the stand alone couldent work on consols but i dont see why here is a posible control mapping (some of these controls i made up for example a melee button wich i think the game could use) allso some people have flamed my topic saying dayz will never come to console well rocket has actualy said that if there is a profit in it he will port the dayz standalone to consoles triangle switch from first to third person square reload x jump circle action button (grab item open door etc) top arrow tap to use item e.g switch nvg's on or of or use a bandage hold to make your charecter stand up more (what i mean by this is that if your standing/crouching behind cover and the cover is a bit to small or tall then you use the up or down button to increase or decrease his/her height to make sure your leaving as little of your body out of cover as possible left arrow tap to use item e.g switch nvg's on or of or use a bandage hold to lean left right arrow tap to use item e.g switch nvg's on or of or use a bandage hold to lean right bottom arrow tap to use item e.g switch nvg's on or of or use a bandage hold to make your charecter crouch down more (what i mean by this is that if your standing/crouching behind cover and the cover is a bit to small or tall then you use the up or down button to increase or decrease his/her height to make sure your leaving as little of your body out of cover as possible L1 tap to change equiped grenade hold to cook and release to throw grenade R1 use weapons secondary ability e.g the g17s flashlight the m203 on the m4 and it could be used to hold your breath whilst using a sniper rifle L2 hold down to aim R2 hold down/tap to shoot L3 use the analog to move hold down to go crouch go prone etc R3 use the analog to aim press to melee attack select inventory start standard start menu im pritty sure thats just about everything and more you could add well i guess you could allso add in a sprint button but i dont rearly see why they even add a sprint button to these games and the controls might be a little geting used to but i think it would work out fine im not sure about the arrow controls they might be a bit awkward if not done right allso i meant for the title to say why not who is there any way to change it?
