Good luck, print this out. It might help you. -
The big "why the standalone will win" thread
taco241 replied to ponc's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yes, I'm sure you're right and Dean's holding off on releasing info on some more big changes. I have a feeling it'll be great. So far,the mod is the best $30 I spent in at least the last 5 years of pc gaming. The SA's going to be huge. -
I don't think this will make it into SA at launch but fire effects in later patches will more than likely be in. Just pulling facts out of my ass but you know...

What I'd like to know is how you managed to attach those images. I've done it once before but now I can't seem to figure it out. I go to my account settings and click on "Manage Attachments" but have no way to add anything. Only to delete the one attachment I have in my library.

failure to feed / extract jamming and such.
taco241 replied to mushroom911's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
A waste of good jello I do declare. -
Get your new computer, then install DayZ/ARMA the same way you did the first time. Either from Steam or from wherever you got the program. No need to by another copy. This applies to all other games as well of course.

Long time fan and player, faith in SA and Rocket is gone.
taco241 replied to itsjustadeer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hey we all get a little fatigued by one game eventually. Pick up some new titles, have a coke, put on a smile and get back when the SA is out. I haven't played in a few weeks myself but I'm sure the final product will be sweet. They can take their time and get it right.Now, back to some Chivalry:Medieval Warfare! -
Do you actually get better preformance recording to a SSD?
taco241 replied to Statik (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
An SSD will offer you better performance all around. Not just for recording but all read/write operations. I think the investment is worth it once you see how responsive your system will be. If money is a concern, get yourself a smaller SSD drive, keep only essential items such as your OS and your most popular game(s) on it. Then get a cheap conventional drive for your bulk storage. -
It's really cumbersome shouldering two rifles. they bang all over the place. I personally do put a rifle in my own pack when on some northern adventure. My Marlin 1895 can easily be strapped to the side of the pack via bungees or whatever I have handy, or if I have room, I stuff it in and let the muzzle poke out. If I need it to be somewhat handy, then yeah I carry it on a 2 point sling in an african carry. there are lots of bags out there that offer rifle packing options.

Yeah i When you have both SD and standard mags in your inventory, just roll your moue wheel up or down to select "Reload SD rounds" to swap in a silenced magazine. You can also do this to revert back to standard magazine.

What's the current state of hacking?
taco241 replied to Luke42_02's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think it's still there in general, but hackers have gotten more discreet. Fewer cows on parachutes, mass teleports, or hacked cars trailing rainbow-colored smoke. -
Gratz on being a shadowrunner. I dabbled too back in the day, stuck to D&D more. Anyhoo. I just don't see how 2 magazines can be attached and fed into a single receiver without some serious gunsmithing involved. To be honest, I think the current system where you roll your wheel to select standard or SD rounds is sufficient. The dual-mag thing would probably confuse many people and annoy the realism aficionados.

DayZ Novel promotion - What Prizes Would You Want To Win?
taco241 replied to chernojourno's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Do you have the rights to publish and sell a novel? Not sure BI would be pleased to see brand profiteering by third parties without their consent. Fan art and freely distributed content is one thing but not if you're $6.99 for it. -
Some people are beyond dumb.
taco241 replied to LeastDionysus's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I ran into a guy begging for his life on Taviana. Me with M16, he's unarmed.Of course I let him go.He starts begging for shit. Food, drink,bandage. I tell him to go find the building next to us and go on his way. He soon finds a crowbar and comes back to whack at me. This is what I get for sparing an unarmed guy. a crowbar? really? I downed him but good.. -
Yeah p4triot makes some good points. Let's not go entirely realism crazy with no HUD. Until I have a PC that connects to my body stimulating all my senses, we need visual feedback. I also vote NO to hit markers (and even death messages), but vote a strong maybe to a hit direction indicator that shows the general area of INCCOMING shots. For anyone without a decent sound card plus an expensive headset, you'll have no idea where shots are coming from. I often end up dancing in circles trying to find an attacker before finally getting killed. That's not a realism maker, that's a realism breaker.

What songs YOU think suit DayZ?

Thanks mate, If you liked that, you'll love the Kevin Federline version: -

A tale of butthurt admins, camp destruction, firefight and admin cheaters

What server was this? Something similar happened to me in a similar (same?) base. -
This happened when trying to join origin servers, help!
taco241 replied to Faldarn's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Check to make sure everything is updated. If that seems OK, roll back your versions, then reinstall the newest ones again. Hope this helps. -
Hatchet dance - I take on 2 geared snipers with just my axe
taco241 replied to cakedotavi's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
well done. -
Some sort of canal system would be neat. Snipers would of course camp the crossings but you could still swim them.
