That message usually means ArmA didn't launch with DayZ mod correctly.

Hint: No 3rd person + no crosshairs + no nametags + no side chat = very few douchebags.

I'm going off topic here, but what? A standard Remington 700 weighs about 8lbs and a Lee Enfield about 9lbs. How much crap did you have to put on your 8mm rifle to make it weigh that much?

I liked the video, thanks for sharing. The maps and icons really helped break down the situation you were presenting.

Server is back online.

There are some issues with vehicles and inventories saving as well as players spawning back in with their gear upon death. The server is offline until I get that sorted out.

Thanks for putting this together, reading through it now.

Working fine here, you can join my small private server to check your client if needed. What does your RPT say? Is there a HiveExt.log? Is this a private hive? We need more infos to help you...

Server is offline until I can get BattlEye filters sorted out. Back online and looking good so far.

This is what I have for those 2 lines and I think it's working. 5 setFuel !"\"setFuel\"," !"z\addons\dayz_code\compile\local_setFuel.sqf" !"dayzSetFuel" !"dayzSetFuel_code" 5 setHit !"\"setHit\"," !"object_setHitServer = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers \"\z" !"player setHit[\"legs\",1];" !"_unit setHit[\"legs\",0];" !"_unit setHit[\"hands\",0];" !"_unit setHit[_selection,_damage];" !"_total = [_unit,_hit,_damage] call object_setHitServer;" !"_ent setVariable [\"hit_legs\",2,true];" !"z\addons\dayz_code\compile\object_setHit.sqf" !"[player,\"legs\", (_fractures select 0)] call object_setHit;" !"[player,\"hands\", (_fractures select 1)] call object_setHit;" !"#line 1 \"z\addons\dayz_code\compile\object_setHitServer.sqf\"" Edit: I had to add a backslash to setHit (missing in LaughingMan's post above)

TheGeeks Chernarus has been updated to 1.7.5.1. Please report any problems you find. Due to lack of time on my part and lack of player interest Taviana and Lingor are offline indefinitely. I will just focus on keeping Chernarus up to date and playable.

What Pat said above. You are getting this error on non-Chernarus maps because standard DayZ is Chernarus only. You will need to install additional mods to play on other maps. Go get DayZ Commander, it will make installing and launching the various maps a breeze. http://www.dayzcommander.com/ You can also try Play withSIX: http://play.withsix.com/ if DayZ Commander isn't your cup of tea.

All you have to do is log on and play. :) Search for TheGeeks in your favorite game browser (DayZCommander, PlayWithSix, etc) or check the website for IP and port. http://thegeeksdayz.freetcp.com/

This all looks fantastic and thank you for the update rocket. However, if I fire up the standalone and have to hunt for 20-30 seconds for the magic pixel to mouse over to open a stupid gate while a horde of zombies eats me for breakfast I'm going to be disappointed. :P

Hi Flat, thanks for stopping by. I haven't noticed the meat disappearing issue but will check into it. There's nothing you need to do but have fun and don't cheat. :) Happy hunting

Wait, people still play on the public hive? Why would you do that to yourselves? The last time I logged on to public within 3 minutes I came across a bandit and about 10 dead bodies around a spawned crate. I axed the bandit and logged off. I'll take my own private server, thank you very much. Sure it's lonely on my little server but at least I can survive without hackers ruining the experience.

I prefer 1st person so would definitely still play.

The answers to your questions all depend on how your hosting provider has things configured. You really should contact their support to get the help you need.

It's Taviana, not Tatiana. ;) I hear you on the reasons for password protecting. My server is low pop so the hackers/griefers mostly leave us alone. I'll stop by and check it out.

TheGeeks Taviana is now the dayzland.eu 1.5.0 version, come check it out. It is mercenary difficulty but always daylight (for now, may change).

Really? I see them all the time. In the server logs. When they get kicked. :D

This is great news! I hope they make it home to their families soon! EDIT: removed suggestion for forum mods

It's nice to read a well thought out post with some insight for a change. I think you nailed it. Have some beans.

Taviana updated to 2.0 Lingor (1.2) and Namalsk (0.60) are back online If you're looking for a hardcore experience (Mercenary = no 3rd person, no cross hairs , no map waypoints) come play Chernarus, Namalsk or Taviana on TheGeeks.

Trying out Taviana for a while. Lingor and Namalsk are offline but don't worry all your stuff is still there.
