Fraggle (DayZ)

I love these little animations. Simple but effective. They're getting better with each episode too, I hope they carry on making them.

Playing on the free map Taviana is not mandatory.

Epic skills. When people complain about the Arma engine I will now refer them to this video to show them how truly versatile it really is.

OP - Please don't post peoples IP's.

I'm only kidding with you. When I made it I was tired so didn't see the typo. Tomorrow I'll see if I've still got the original file and spruce it up for you. If I find it I'll PM it to you or I can do you a new one if you want.

It would probably be easier just to learn not to shoot your friends. That is currently an option.

I'm not sure this would work with the new loot spawn system. The new system allows items to spawn on shelves, tables and very specific places meaning to search through a building for example will actually mean having to look properly rather than just looking at the floor like we do ATM. As long as the new items have decent hit-boxes so we don't have to scroll over the exact pixel to pick something up I think it'll work well. If we had your system we'd end up with a list of everything in that radius and looting would just be a case of running around scrolling the wheel without actually having to search properly. P.S - There's a typo in your sig ;)

Good to know.

I'll shoot kids in the face all day if I get the chance. Edit - in game of course.

Lol, agreed. I think he meant a proper answer or at least an open dialogue, not a copy and paste answer that probably get's sent out 1000 times a day.

So just to clarify your ban was promptly lifted after the admin had had a chance to check his logs (as he said he would in his first message to you) and look into the the auto-ban? Nice one. Case closed Locked.

You need to be more specific. What was the initial problem you had before you started messing with things?

I'm sure they've set themselves many strict deadlines internally. Making us aware of these internal deadlines won't achieve anything apart from upsetting people if they fail to reach one or things change. You see asking the community for their opinion as unprofessional and unfocussed, I see it as encouraging and refreshing. I guess we'll never agree then. It doesn't really change anything though, you're still just gonna have to wait.

Holy crap. I'm loving my new leather chaps :)

I agree with some of your concerns but I guess it's worth remembering that any new mechanics like this will not be written in stone. We still have the testing period and the game will be in heavy development with regular patches via Steam for the next year or so at least. That's why I like the fact it's being released through Steam, with one click of a button at their end they can send out the updates ans we just have to let Steam do it's thing, no more crazy file structures or painful update process.

So it's not DayZ related? Probably best to use the contact mentioned in the error message to ask for support.

You're a funny guy. My BG with Doctor Wasteland is that I got Whitelisted as a medic about 6 months ago (go and check the list, I'm number 20 something). Also, your point is moot as I have already told you I am stepping away from your ban appeal so that your mind can be put at rest about such matters. I offered to help you, your paranoia and general bad attitude means I have since rescinded that offer and you are now in a position of needing to find someone else willing to look into it for you. Good luck with that.

Oh well. I offered you my free time and effort in trying to get it sorted for you and you responded by accusing me of having ulterior motives. That's why I've stepped away, you were never going to be happy with anything I said and your attitude was uncalled for. You'll have to find someone else to help you, if you do I recommend not insulting them.

Just to clarify: I spoke to one of your guy's via PM and said I would spend time speaking to both parties concerned to come to a sensible conclusion and confer with the other mods in doing so, here is a quote from that conversation: "I locked the thread so that I can contact the server admins and give them a chance to respond. You and your friends have made your case and now we need a response from the other party. I am now awaiting that response. It's a Sunday afternoon so your patience would be appreciated. The rules as written in the post you linked to do not account for every scenario in the world, so obviously common sense has to play a part and decisions have to be made on a case by case basis. Of course it's a PVP game so any actions in game in that regard as long as they are within the rules do not warrant a ban. I will await a response from the other party and then confer with the other moderators. As I said, in the mean-time your patience would be greatly appreciated." TBH I'm not really happy with the responses I got from some of your team members. You seem to think I have an alternative agenda of some sort so with that in mind maybe I'm not the person to deal with this for you. I'll step away and let someone you are happy with deal with it. We are all volunteers here and if we offer you our time to deal with something that's our choice, throwing around accusations and trying to inflame a conversation when I'm offering you my help really isn't called for. Good luck and I hope you get the the outcome you are looking for.

@Sleeping Tobi. I have PM'd you regarding this and am willing to spend time looking into it for you by talking with both parties involved. Please respond to my message.

Private FTW.

OP - You have your answer. An admin (public or private) is well within his rights to ban a group of players if it is for the overall welfare of the majority of the playerbase, especially if they are in receipt of threatening emails from members of that group. It has clearly been stated by the lead devs in the past that admins are allowed to exercise their own judgementdiuscretion to a degree if they believe it is for the welfare of their server and does not damage the name of DayZ. I beleive this is the case here. If you would like further clarification then please feel free to PM me regarding this matter. Locked.

You're missing the point (or I'm missing the point of your post :)). Currently zombie spawns are activated by player vicinity meaning you can easily tell from i distance where players are. If the zeds are already spawned by default you will have no idea if a player is in the area. It's actually quite a big change in terms of gameplay.

Go for it. By the time you've opened and run the exe. your key will be safely in the hands of a hacker.

No need to check. There is no programme in the world that can do what he is claiming.
