can't be done at this time, maybe in the future also make sure you are familiar with the rules (kicking etc.) so you don't get your server blacklisted http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1251-want-to-host-a-dayz-server-read-in-here/

it will not, cfg errors are common and do not affect you.. if you are getting stuck on loading screen that is a different issue check out the other stuck on loading screen threads

weird stuff happens.. mod is in alpha so there is a lot of work to be done and bugs are to be expected.. if you find a bug check the bug section to see whether it has already been reported and if not then use the proper form to report it night time darkness is defined by moon phase, moon position and weather conditions

you are correct, I just read the changelog

http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/

get a toolbox and start removing them if they bother you so much

it is related to mod version, not beta patch version.. what DayZ version are you running? edit: nvm, it is related to beta patch too make sure you are running the game with beta (check the version in bottom right corner in game main menu).. having the beta installed is one thing, running the game with it is another.. it is also possible that this does not work when server is not running beta, not sure about that though

occasionally I get stuck at loading screen too (requiring game restart) usually after changing servers.. but most of the time I am able to play just fine

2. I've been playing a lone wolf for a few weeks now, currently I am on day 13.. it's quite easy to get blood back from animals, I have been down to 3-4k blood several times.. I have also found a couple of blood-pack at heli crash sites but I just leave them there since they are of no use to me

I think this was a suggestion but currently they stay on the server until removed (with a toolbox)

zombies have a small chance to "drop" one item (you need to loot it from their body) depending on their type.. towns folk can have food, drinks, empty cans and such.. military zombies can have military grade magazines, grenades, etc.

there is only a few types of houses you can enter, you will learn them with time most common ones are: http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_HouseV_1I4.jpg (easily confused with http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_HouseV_1I3.jpg) http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_HouseV2_02_Interier.jpg http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_HouseV2_04_interier.jpg some sheds: http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_kulna.jpg http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_hut06.jpg http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_KBud.jpg and farm type buildings: http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_stodola_old_open.jpg http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_stodola_open.jpg http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_Barn_W_01.jpg http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_Farm_Cowshed_a.jpg there are a few other enterable building and also some buildings that can not be entered but spawn loot at their door (e.g. http://picacid.com/arma2/imgs/Land_HouseV2_01A.jpg)

this is no problem, throw an empty can outside the house and they will shuffle out anyway, at the time OP played there were only interior spawns I think so another thing to add to the list is exterior infected spawns

debug plains.. you can either run for hours to get to the normal map (forgot which direction, check out the other debug plains threads) or you can respawn (lose gear, start over)

press F to select fire mode (it will also cycle through other items in your inventory like flares, chemlights, grenades, etc)

select direct channel with "," or "." and then press "/" to open chat text range for direct channel is 40m.. you can also use voice chat (default push-to-talk key is caps-lock) once you have the right channel selected.. voice range is 80m

report him through his profile

just tap the TAB key when you get back into the game, it gets stuck when you use steam overlay which causes auto-complete in chat and this - "it seems like the arrow key is just being held down, as it goes through the options by itself, highlighting them really fast one by one." - in menus

you should be able to play fine with cfg errors missing content errors are a different thing however

are you running the latest versions on mod and beta? saying the server you play on has side channel could mean you are not I've never had any problem with direct channel, been able to talk to and text to anyone I've met (and didn't kill me on sight)

the range for text has been increased to 40m in beta 93586 (also mentioned in the thread I linked)

read some of the guides in this section before you jump into the game, they can make your life a bit easier the game can be pretty harsh for a new player

personally I like that there is no global chat, it could get pretty annoying sometimes although I wouldn't mind if the channels existed and there was a client-side option to disable them

global channels have been removed as mentioned above (although some server still have them) direct channel range in 40m for text and 80m for voice group channel does not work.. dunno about vehicle channel since I never had a chance to use it more info on text and voice comm: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7954-voice-text-communication/

I've tried the camo skin today.. dumped all my gear into a tent and then used the skin.. I got the swimming animation for a couple of seconds and then I got back to normal.. the camo skin disappeared and I am still in normal survivor skin don't know if I would lose items if I had any but the skin doesn't work for sure
