Fraggle (DayZ)

^^Double post, user warned^^

I've no idea TBH. It's October now so we could be playing the game within 2 months. I think they're keeping things wrapped up for now, like ninja devs. @Shadow - cheers mate - I try. I also post a lot of crap too. I'm probably one of the worst mods when it comes to spamming peoples threads but that's because I like being part of the community too. As an example, here's a random tune I was just listening to, it's helping with my hangover. I will now give myself a warning for derailing the thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m6XzkcWrqM

PM'd. Does that mean I can spam this thread now? Nice.

YW. A lot of people seem to be mis-informed about the new engine. Because some are calling it 2.5 people are thinking not much extra work is going into it. They are wrong. It will essentially be a unique engine just for DayZ. Some of the guy's working on it are responsible for the original Arma engine and have been working with it for over a decade. It will be a hybrid engine, taking what they need from TOH/Arma 2 and Arma 3 with many more things coded purely for DayZ. New weather systems are being added, the map is being overhauled and expanded (with the potential to add new maps in the future), the inventory system is being re-written from the ground up, the spawn system will be new, hundreds of new objects are being added, weapons are being re-worked as well as adding many more that fit with DayZ better and they will be customisable, there will be a back-story for people that want to go exploring to find out about it and there will be many more survival mechanics, the list goes on. We have much to look forward to.

This is the downside of giving admins more power. There are many great admins that run great servers. There are also many that treat their servers like their own little country. All you can really do is spend a bit of time finding a server with great admins. In the long-run the well run servers are going to become well known and the ones run by kids using their mommies credit cards will be forgotten about.

The key is not just finding a private hive but finding one with good admins that know how to use the many tools available to them. if you can do that , you'll enjoy a hack free game.

Actually many will carry on with the mod. The Arma community is one of the best modding communities in the world so there is much to look forward to. Also Rocket has suggested that any good ideas from mods could be incorporated into the SA in the future. They are not mutually exclusive. I'll be playing the standalone and playing the variations people come up with in the mod.

PM on the way...

Everything at the moment works within the limits of the Arma engine, that's why they have moved on to developing the standalone. They now have access to the engine so can change whatever they need to.

The other night I was stalked by a rabbit. Whenever I turned around, there he was, watching me. It's not the first time this has happened and I'm pretty sure this isn't your average bunny. Has anyone else seen this mystical beast?

I played Donkey Kong on a potato once. It lagged a bit but the sound was awesome.

The whole loot spawning system is being re-written for the standalone. With the mod they can only work within the confines of the Arma engine which was not designed for this sort of game.

I f I find a large camp I usually just take what I need without being greedy. That way they won't move the camp and you can pop by whenever you like to stock up. I don't consider it banditry, just common sense survival tactics.

Welcome to the forum's mate. May I just say that if you ever want to do a house swap, I'm your man. Even if you live in a dustbin, I'm up for it.

Nice find!

You could play a different Arma mod every day of the year if you wanted to and a few of them are bloody amazing.

Not so trendy now are you? All the cool kids nowaday's use normal PC's. I jest. I don't have an answer for you though.

Nice, looking forward to seeing it. I've been doing some concept art for an animation I'm planning.

If you let people know what country you're in it may help :) Good luck.

I've Pm'd you.

Thieving bastards.

Why are these never the best vids ever? It sucks.

All of this is being dealt with in the standalone. Have fun!

Lol, OP has balls posting a vid of him shooting people in noobsville using a hacked weapon. Next weeks episode: Driving a tank through Cherno and how to satchel charge a rabbit.

Go to your Arma menu and in the graphics options you can change the size of the hud/ui. Choose small.
