Earlier this year I bought a Mosin Nagant and decided to start making some videos comparing DayZ guns to the real deal. Now that its cold outside and I'm done filming for the year I thought I would post what I've got so far here. Thank you for watching! See you next spring! Feel free to check out my other gameplay stuff in the meantime!

Since I had quite a few wallpapers going up in the gallery in multiple posts, I thought I'd start a forum thread. Preface: I'm not a graphic artist, photographer or anything of the sort. Just a dude that enjoys "junking up" some nice screen shots. I'm using paint.net with a few extra plugins, blending in some extra textures here and there. I've done this in other games as well, just not to this level. Looking at the gallery thread I found myself inspired by many other users posts. Special thanks to everyone that has posted in there. All wallpapers are in 1920x1080 (16:9) Wallpaper Pack #1 "The Campers" "Finger Face" "Holdup" "On the Run" "Gasmasks" "Shooter" "Stand.Alone." "The Kill" "The Runner" "This is Your Story" "The Tower" "Tracks" "Train Station" "Watcher" "Stairs" Wallpaper Pack #2 "Beached" "Map" "Saloon" "Sunrise" "Town" "Zed" "Cherno" Wallpaper Pack #3 "Apartment Sniper" "Apartments in the Distance" "NEAF At Night" "Travel Companions" "Embrace the Silence" "Forest Night" "Zombie Afterlife" "UnDead Hooker" "Zombie Moon" Bonus Wallpaper Basic Desktop

Added the bonus wallpaper at the end. Also, don't know whats happened to some of the links, I'll re-upload on another date.

Just out of curiosity, was the note a page from the journal of a stranded soldier surviving through DayZ? I keep a pen on me and fill out pages every time I find paper and then leave it behind in an obvious place. I check the forums, but never heard of anyone finding one of em.

You keep what you kill.

Gotta buy a new one man. If... and by any means I mean IF it dies before you get a new one ready, go ahead and get your new one, install your OS and everything, then stick your old one in the freezer overnight. Next morning plug it in while still frozen and boot to your new HD then jump in it and grab your necessary files quickly. That is a last -ditch effort kind of thing. I've seen it work, but not always. EDIT: Btw, in my time I've seen far more Samsungs die than Western Digitals. Just don't get the WD green or blue.

Seeing as how most everywhere is like a Goodwill took a dump... yeah, we need a wipe.

I've updated my Wallpaper Packs thread, link in my signature. Preview:

Hey thanks man! Actually I left DayZ awhile ago, but came back a couple weeks ago and have started doing WP's again. My 3rd pack is on the way in a day or two. EDIT: I've updated the OP, added Wallpaper Pack #3! The next wallpaper pack I'm going to walk about the world and take pictures with people and groups I meet- kind of like a tourism thing. I fully expect to be killed more than a few times, but I also won't carry anything more than basic survival supplies (food/drink/basic medical), and only weapons for self-defense against zombies. See you guys around!

I'm not sure what video setting it is, I've got all my settings set up in the config files. At campfires I'm not seeing smoke, just heat coming off of it. I checked with my buddies and they don't see it either, but their settings are based off of mine for performance rather than pretty.

Objects are at normal, texture detail and rendering are both at high. I'm wondering if its clouds... by chance, I have those completely turned off. (currently testing) EDIT: And yes, turning on clouds then restarting the game did it. Even on low it came at a bit of a FPS cost though. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/25096108772896248/7126B97911383F3D1D6878462C33363AA6848ECF/

Cool. Do you know what setting effects the ability to see smoke? Sorry, I didn't realize that the question wasn't directly asked, just implied.

IRL a screwdriver and a clamp is all you really need and only takes a couple minutes to set up, but really I think Pgup and pgdown are enough for now.

the art team and programming team work at different paces I'm sure.

Your character has a 0.000001% chance of psychosis on spawn.

As far as I know they only dish out the files to host a server to a couple companies for hosting services. Whenever-if-ever they do open up to the public I'm all for it. We've got a 1g synchronous business class connection with several servers we would like to host on too, but I don't see it being any time soon. I haven't read this anywhere, but my guess would be that they're sticking to these private companies to keep the files in check for preventing hacks ect...

Screenshot or it didn't happen.

My PC is a bit older: AMD Phenom II 965BE http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727 with 16gb ram Mechanical HDD Nvidia GTX 650 But I easily get 40-60fps everywhere, minimum 30 in cities. Its all about the config files. Example: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/23968940666780999/7ECBD294A680AA8BCD5B89740189FAA4A22C6545/

Good video man. I can appriciate some creative banditry.

I've got three on my Hardcore character. Been holding them for a couple weeks, just waiting for a chance to throw em at an unsuspecting victim. :P

Aww well. Better luck next time for the OP then.

I say YES to socks. Mute your prisoners, make a sticky bomb, find piles of coins to make an improvized weapon, the list just goes on and on!

from the videos I've seen of COD:AW there's like no recoil or sway... just sayn'

I found like 10 Sks' last night. Yeah, its crazy.

Was actually just talking to a friend about this on the phone. I'm on the fence about it because yes, it'll up the loot hoarding exponentially, but also- I'm a loot hoarder. Once vehicles are in again those will be the pack mules.
