"Hey, do any of you guys have some morphine?"

We also seem to be having a problem with US 1637 - also from HFB Servers.

My friend and I visited the colony this evening (although I saw none of what you describe). I approached unarmed, I was met and asked my intentions, and I explained I was there merely to see what they'd built. I was told firmly (but not rudely) to keep away from the tents and vehicles. Aside from a lot of artifacts, things were fairly uneventful. We had a look around and were escorted away without incident. As we left, we did see a heli spin up and fly away. Oh, and some kid with a soldier skin being creepy. I do question how the "airstrike" video fails to show you infiltrating the compound... almost like you had simply appeared there. Posting the whole video might corroborate your story further. Anyway, nice camp and nice effort guys. We'll be back to bring you some of the items we discussed.

Nice idea, glad to hear you guys are sticking with it. I'll try to drop by and donate a few odds and ends.

Confirming #90 (line 90) in scripts.txt seems to be the fix. Mates on the server were getting kicked for #90, but I was fine. As soon as a zombie lashed out at me, I was kicked too. Admin changed line 90 from kick to report and we're all back in.

I've never heard this as an ambient sound. I have, however, been fooled by the bicycle sounds into thinking there was distant sniper fire.

I once saw a dead Hobo inside one of my tents.

I do recall seeing in a recent beta patch release notes that the VON comms was going to start using the same port as the main server, to reduce problems with NAT (firewalling, etc). That might explain what you're talking about, although I've never personally experienced what you report.

Sadly, I fear more and more server admins will take this route to save their money until the standalone is ready.

I've seen server-side issues in the past week or so, in which saved tents and items simply don't appear when I log in. Tents aren't flattened, they've vanished. After a server restart, they reappear. We've had one particular tractor go missing three times in a week, and a day or two later it's back. Personally, I think it's running away to court the lady-tractors and comes back after getting laid.

Hmm, let me consider this. You're offering me the chance to plug all my group's information into your Russian database, complete with camp locations, vehicles, and (presumably) server information? Erm, no, but thanks anyway.

Maybe the soda sound was a "Pop" gun...? Eh? Anyone? Okay, I'll go hide now.

On a side note, please do check out the campaign(s) for Arma2 and the expansions - they're great fun and provide invaluable experience that can translate over to DayZ.

A lifetime.

If I'm exactly 40 years old, I fall into two categories.

Same happens to me when going unconscious, just hit W A S D to stop the auto-movement.

Having not seen one yet, but knowing how other vehicles work, if you get an option to "Save" it, do so. When the server resets, it should upright the helo. However, I'm surprised that you got an option to attach the fixed parts, but again, I've never seen one directly. Also, please post the server name and coordinates so we can help you get her up and flying. ;)

Yep, I can confirm this, I've seen it myself. I still shudder at night...

Nothing so elegant as that, merely a tractor in bad repair we had thrown some "goodies" into.

We had similar issues recently, our vehicle went missing (unsure if it was taken), tents not saving new items placed inside after restart -- seems like US330's connection to the hive may be at fault. Here's hoping the admin takes a look and gets us updated to 1.7.2.4 soon, maybe that will fix it.

Mixed emotions on this one. The end does not always justify the means. However, just as the DayZ devs are currently powerless to stop the "evil" cheaters, they are equally powerless to stop the "vigilante" cheaters. The past 3-days of gameplay have seen my crit get teleported all over Chenarus into dangerous situations (actively being fired upon), and it's tiresome to spend so many hours (while fun at the time) being put at risk through no fault of my own. It's lead me to abstain from DayZ until I hear more about a solution (likely the stand-alone). Ironic, I know, that I won't play the zombie game in which I've died countless times until it feels "safer", but here we are. At the same time, it's amusing to think someone is savoring the tears of some of these "script kiddies" using their own tactics against them. I don't think I would do the same.

Sent you the screenshot via PM.

I was on as well last night, DC'ed without getting shot. I grabbed screenshots of the player list just after DC'ing. Many names I've seen before... a few I have not. Happy to help if I can.

Failed to read whole thread. "His character was glitched when he logged in..." -- I'm still dubious.

I'm dubious - this is the guy killing someone named Maximus. I note that when the ghillie'd thermal sniper begins to loot [at 6:05], he has no tools (not even the starter flashlight), no backpack, nohting but Tier-1 gear. If I'd been handed that video without the introductory accusations, I'd have suspected the sniper of hacking in items.
