Devblog update: Where is the Standalone?
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Lol, I'm pretty excited to try it but I'm not expecting to wake up and find a key in my inbox, otherwise I'll go insane. I'm just hoping we don't have to wait another couple of weeks but if we do then so be it. -

I've no idea, I really hope so though. -
Server's Popularity
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to Geralt Of Rivia's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Make a good clear advert and post it in the Private Hive section, remember you're competing with thousands of servers. Link your advert in your signature, that way every time you post it's another chance to let players know about your server. Build a community. Spend some time thinking about what type of community you want to encourage. Encourage feedback from the players and listen to them, be active as an admin or have an active team and so on.... -
Devblog update: Where is the Standalone?
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
I've literally just been playing TOH, it's good fun. I'm looking forward to the weather being used in the SA. Windy days will literally be able to stop helis flying if they keep the mechanics the same. -

FUNFACT: In religious imagery the devil is always pictured as being left handed, it used to be considered evil, that's why they used to force us poor oppressed lefties to write with our right hand. The INJUSTICE!!!!! Edit: I just read the link Mr Voodoo posted and it explains it better than me: http://www.cracked.com/article_19808_5-reasons-being-left-handed-screws-you-life.html We're doomed, sexy but doomed.

My Brothers a leftie too (so were my Mum and my Dad, weird) and he uses the mouse on the left side of the keyboard, he's a very strange boy that one.

The answer to that was also in his first answer.

Hey Armaggedon^^^^, you know there's a typo in in your sig?

I'm a leftie and have never had an issue, I guess I'm just used to it though I've been PC gaming for a long time. If your hands aren't already used to a particular setup you'll be in the same boat as anyone else getting used to a mouse and keyboard, it's just about muscle memory. After a few hours it'll be second nature, after a few months you'll wonder how you ever played a game differently. Funfact: Lefties are far sexier than everyone else.

Yup, it's based on the pretty in depth disease mechanic being developed by Rockets brother (a virologist) that will hopefully be introduced into the SA at some point in development. Should shake things up a bit :). Just being a decent medic will be a skill in itself, and what's more, we won't need the game to tell us we're good medics by giving us points or makng us able to administer drugs 0.057% quicker for every patient we heal ;) Check here for info: http://dayzmod.com/f...seases-in-dayz/

But I thought you'd already used them according to your first post? If so it means you already have the high-res textures somehow. Very confusing.
-
You won't be running back to collect your gear from your rotting corpse in the SA once the full disease mechanic is introduced, especially if it was a disease/infection/virus that killed you. Neither will your friends unless they are tooled up with the correct antibiotics. Being a healthy player with gear will indeed have you rage quitting when you die.

I've used Xpadder in the past and really liked it. A couple of years ago I managed to get my controller set-up pretty well in Arma2 OA for the Heli campaign using the Arma keybinding menu but i wouldn;t fancy wrestling with it for the usual controls so I hope you get it sorted.

DayZ Super Fun Adventures! EP2: Relax, I'm a pilot
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to SmashT's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
Yeh, it's easily the funniest DayZ inspired cartoon I've seen. -
Exactly. It is you as the player that gains the skills needed. It doesn't need a game mechanic that would encourage grinding. If you want to be a good sniper, grab yourself a rifle and go practice. Want to be a medic, go get yourself loads of meds and then set yourself up with whatever you need, it's not easy. No need for a game mechanic, we just need a deeply layered game filled with content that rewards us (not literally) when we take the time to learn a certain aspect of it well, navigation is a good example.

Memory hacking in Standalone
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to gummy52's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Agreed, a VAC ban only applies to the game in question AFAIK, not your whole Steam account unfortunately. Luckily it's not the only measure being taken to prevent hacking, it's just one more thing in the armoury. -
What is Your First Instinctive Reaction When Spotting a Player?
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I jump in the nearest bush and try to figure them out. I generally play friendly so It may lead to me trying to make contact, usually though they just move on unaware of my prescence. -
Memory hacking in Standalone
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to gummy52's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You keep referring loosely to your own statistics (1 in 3 and so on) to make a point. Statistics, especially ones gleaned from such a small scale survey can be used to prove any point. You've visited some servers, found some hackers and are trying to extrapolate that data across the thousands of servers available to play on. It's just lazy. I don't disagree with hacking being a major issue, that's beyond doubt. I question you referring to you're own tiny survey to back up every comment you have to make about hacking. -

Urrrrghghhg. Gummy, you already have a thread about your questionable statistics. -
Reddit - Jan 2013 - Q&A with Rocket
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to SmashT's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
I think in the end server numbers will be between 20 and 30,000,000. That's an actual fact. -
Reddit - Jan 2013 - Q&A with Rocket
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to SmashT's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Don't worry, remember that Matt said although the resources now make that possible it's a case of deciding where to use those extra resources and also they have to take into account a suitable number to keep the game feeling right. -
Agreed. Nice find though.

Will the StandAlone game have an inbuilt editor?
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to 42StepBack's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I guess but for a milsim it's great, not really needed for DayZ though TBH.
