I really doubt having more detail indoors is going to be an issue. And if you're trying to say that getting 15-30 FPS on an i7 processor(and a decent graphics card) is "normal," you need to talk a lot into my head for me to actually believe that the ARMA 2 engine is optimized. Besides, currently, simply by approaching a city can severely tank someone's FPS, even if all they can see are the solid buildings with no interior at all, even less seeing any windows. It's not about seeing through a transparent texture, it's about how the whole thing is wrapped together in code. You can easily just make it so that you don't render interiors from afar. (Like in the case of GTA, for example. There's a 2D environment until you get close enough and the game loads the interior of a building in the background, and changes it.)

I believe he might be talking about the DayZ+ mod, though. That one is not being developed by Rocket and his team.

You can't whitelist yourself for a server, unless you're the one hosting it. In order to be whitelisted for a server, you'll have to tell the server host/admin your UUID. Though if you attempt to join a server that has a whitelist in effect, the server host or anyone with access to the logs will see that your UUID tried to connect to the server and was rejected. If they want to allow you access, they'll have to whitelist you. Otherwise, you'll just have to find a server without a whitelist system. Trial and error, little bambi. Trial and error.

FYI, the engine has been mostly remade with things added from other sources (Weather and flight mechanics from Take On Helicopters, ragdoll physics should be coming from ARMA 3 whenever BIS finishes them, etc.), and the engine is now VERY much optimized. Lag should not be a problem anymore, even with the added detail to interiors. The lag you experience in the DayZ mod is entirely at fault because of the ARMA 2 engine and how unoptimized it is.

Read the stickies, DayZ has nothing to do with BattleEye bans. Buy a new copy of the game and try again.

Kamenka is literally the best place to spawn at, if you want to get up north the fastest, and the safest.

Alpha is alpha. Nothing has to be finished or final, and the closed alpha testers will make sure that the game is at least playable before it's released. Personally I can't wait for it to come on Steam. Hopefully I'll get a bunch of my friends to buy it and group up with!

It's better if you listen to the melody/lyrics of the original so you can barely hear it, to keep up with the lyrics. I threw my gear in the tent, Don't ask me, it's never there. I looked to you and it felt, That you must be dead. I'd trade my soul for my gear, Pennies and dimes for a tent. I didn't want to do this, But now you must be dead. Your hands were coldin', Ripped holes, blood was pouring, Dark night, pop was growin', Where you think that shot is going? Hey, I just shot you. And this is crazy. But here's my Blood Pack, So heal me, maybe? It's hard to look right, And this is DayZ, So here's my Blood Pack, Please heal me, maybe? Hey, I just shot you. And this is crazy. But here's my Blood Pack, So heal me, maybe? And all the other guys, Tryin'a snipe me, But here's my Blood Pack, So heal me, maybe? You took your time with the mic, I took no time with the gun. Your loot had nothing at all, But still you were minor threat. I lie and loot you and sneak. Have foresight and it's clear. I didn't know I would hit it, But he was in my way. Your hands were coldin', Ripped holes, blood was pouring, Dark night, pop was growin', Where you think that shot is going? Hey, I just shot you. And this is crazy. But here's my Blood Pack, So heal me, maybe? It's hard to look right, And this is DayZ, So here's my Blood Pack, Please heal me, maybe? Hey, I just shot you. And this is crazy. But here's my Blood Pack, So heal me, maybe? And all the other guys, Tryin'a snipe me, But here's my Blood Pack, So heal me, maybe? And then you stabbed me in the back back. I hate you so bad. I hate you so bad. I hate you so, so bad. And then you stabbed me in the back back. I hate you so bad. And you see that. I hate you so, so bad. It's hard to look right, And this is DayZ, So here's my Blood Pack, Please heal me, maybe? Hey, I just shot you. And this is crazy. But here's my Blood Pack, So heal me, maybe? And all the other guys, Tryin'a snipe me, But here's my Blood Pack, So heal me, maybe? And then you stabbed me in the back back. I hate you so bad. I hate you so bad. I hate you so, so bad. And then you stabbed me in the back back. I hate you so bad. And you should see that. Just heal me, maybe? Something I did out of boredom. It's not perfect, but what'd you think? Reason I wanted to try rewriting the lyrics is because of the "Hey, I just shot you and this is crazy, but here's my Blood Pack, so heal me maybe." -part. Had a hilarious moment with friends when I wrote it to them.

Well it's not like you have to make every vehicle uniquely damaged. Why not make 1-3 possible variants of the vehicles? It's not like it has 200 lines for vehicles even now, even though it spawns 200. Edit; For example, like in my first post. One variant would be wrecked to hell, another would need a little work, and one would be fixed right off. Let the spawn sequence pick which ones to spawn.That should make it at least a little random.

Now, I am no scripter, but have you tried simply adding copies of the lines for vehicles, and editing the #.# value after the component name? (For example change the ["motor",0.8] to ["motor",1.0] or ["motor",0.2] for a fixed or an even more damaged engine?) Edit; And of course change the position values.

I've tried a little bit of Wasteland, and, it's pretty neat to find a vehicle that seems to have crashed into a tree with a couple bodies around it. But what I don't like is the fact that there are sometimes live NPCs that'll fire back at you, nor do I like the fact that everybody in the server is notified of an event. How are you supposed to suddenly have a vision about a loot jackpot that's currenly across the map?

Never heard about that. Can you get a source/link? (Not because I don't believe you, I just like knowing what exactly he's said. Makes for better arguments.)

They'll be ready and published when they're ready and published. The Standalone probably won't be coming out for about two or so months from now, so keep your pants on.

Underground base-building was already suggested by a dev(?) on the Russian side of the forums several months ago. This included using a shovel and anywhere between a minute to 20 minutes of digging, to create a hole between the size of your backpack and 6x8 meters, which could then be covered up and locked. The bigger holes were also supposed to be enterable, with a rather large box inside which could be used as storage space.

As much as I generally approve of the Steam Workshop, I do NOT like the idea of it in DayZ Standalone. Here's why; Rocket has said that the Standalone will not be moddable. Even the settings were proposed to be server-side so you can't have an edge over others simply for having a better performing PC. And as much as custom clothing could be nice, it could get very silly very fast. So I don't really like giving the ability to add content to DayZ besides by those in the development team.

My post is made in July 17th. The video you posted was made in July 25th. I win. :3

It's impossible to guarantee your camp's safety on a server that has even one other player playing in it with you. And even if I was to tell you which spots in which maps were safe, people would start checking those areas more often.

Infection system and diseases are already announced for the standalone. There are several more or less serious diseases and you have to find out which ones you have through symptoms, as there isn't going to be any illness indicators.

Even if you use voice chat, you will probably be shot.

The performance of your computer has nothing to do with ping. A poor server or poor connectivity from other people will cause lag regardless of how high quality -everything- you may have. Edit; You should know these things, having spent that much money on a PC and being a gamer.

Every game has an endgame. Be it late-game where you have maxed out your character and are just waiting to finish up the story, or endgame, as in, having Diamond gear in Minecraft and going to Nether, or after killing Wall of Flesh in Terraria, or having reached max level in an MMORPG. Currently the endgame for the DayZ mod is having a DMR/AS50, a camo, and possibly a vehicle. endgame 1. The final stage of a game such as chess or bridge, when few pieces or cards remain. (Aka, not much content/supplies/weapons left to discover, experience, or gain.) Edit; OP, I'm not really a fan of the idea of human NPCs. If you don't want your things to get stolen, you better hide your camp well enough. Logging off is pretty much the same as leaving the entire area. You would have to do the same thing in real life. And even if you were in the server at the time, ever second spent away from the close proximity of your base makes it just as vulnerable as if you weren't there at all.

1. Batteries as loot. Agreed. 2. People spawning everywhere, not as good idea as it sounds. In DayZ(currently), everybody is supposed to be thrown into the same situation, with no advantages over others. This means we all start with the same thing, and around the same area. (Coast) 3. No comment. 4. Backpack sizes are the vanilla values from ARMA 2, I believe. (Can't recall for sure. I have played ARMA 2 to some degree.) 5. See number 2. 6. Carrying weapons outside your backpack does sound pretty logical, but not sure if it can actually be done.

Read the stickies. You are proven as a hacker by BattleEye, thus you will be treated as such, here on the forums. And shouting death-threats doesn't exactly encourage anyone to help you. Was it worth it?

Honestly I'm a little disappointed that you have the bug that allows you to have NVGs on anyway. You don't deserve it.

You could always go to your ARMA 2: OA installation folder and use the .exe there to launch the game directly. Oddly enough that doesn't start the DayZ mod nor any expansions, so you can play the vanilla game without doing anything else.
