no it doesn't. It's running and has been for over 9hrs now. :) Any crashes it tends to auto-restart

It should be possible, the only limiting factor is the HIVE connection which handles pretty much everything important, player stats, items, location etc. I wouldn't bother with it though, single player dayz type game will need a hell of a lot of balancing to get it playable without other people in.

I was waiting in the IRC chat for an admin and had this lovely conversation via PM with a chap called IKC - who was actually really trying to help me, and I totally misunderstood the situation :) IKC - Im sorry, don't hate me. xoxox :heart::heart::heart: (for the record) I thought IKC was trying to gain access to my server illegitimately using subterfuge and ninja tactics, I was mistaken, he was genuinely trying to help me :) What can i say - it was 3:30am, and i was paranoid after 4 hours ingame and about 4 espressos ;)

I thought that the message you sent about emailing was a way of backing and trying to "seem legit", you know: "I'm here to help you right now, but if you want to wait hours, its your choice" - kinda social engineering tactic i've seen used - like pressure from a car salesman :P Anyway, I'll request this thread be closed as it was a clusterfk of confusion on both parties :)

How I got my server to work - Install steam. Download and install Arma2+Arma2:OA Download CBA_MAIN/CBA_A2 Download JayArma2Lib Get Rocket n Co to install HIVE Run DX_Setup (this is important) to install the neccesary libraries. Start Arma2_Serv using the shortcuts to load the required mods. Start HiveAuth AND Hive. Let the server load when it says Mission Read - Log in, and start the mission. Hive and Auth will start communicating then. When the server hangs, I just close Arma2serv and relaunch. Only lost one chopper and a jeep to this.

(Bl*w)jobs for everyone!

You would need to be able to see further than 500m first.

Zombies should run. Zombies should be a challenge. They should swarm you like flies to poop. You are after all a delicious morsel to perpetually hungry mindless beasts :D The typical stereotype of the "undead" zombie has been over used and overworked in my opinion. These are not dead, they are infected - all their organs seem to function correctly, and they are warm blooded, they bleed (cardio system seems intact), so they should be able to sprint. Pulmonary system is intact as they can articulate some form of communication. What i would love is a group scream sound to come from large populations of zeds when they hear a loud noise! :)

have you launched both Hive and HiveAuth prior to the server launch?

Thanks for your support lads! RaZz has kindly donated a teamspeak server to the cause, wonderful fellow! Details on connection.

I've been monitoring my server all morning since the 1.5.7 update and I've seen this a few times: Pte.Oxford: Broken bones, no blood, no meds. Pte.Oxford: One bullet left... I wish i could use it on myself I think a last resort option should be available under certain circumstances: If ammo count is low, you are bleeding to death, and you have one round left. The other side to this is if you get mauled by zombies the "You are dead" screen should SLOWLY fade in, alongside your players anguished screams of pain and zombie munching sounds. Broken bones shouldn't happen as frequently either, and should only be "Fixable" with a splint as well as morphine. My 2c. Excellent mod so far though.

There could be a C130 fly over the Island, and dropping supply crates as it flies over, which pop smoke and flares when they land. C130's are loud, and quite observable. This way it doesn't lock the idea down to those with radios, as other survivors may see or here the drop. Those with a radio will receive morse code coordinates, or simple voice comms designating drop site. Thats assuming there are people alive outside of the island.

Surely that's part of the game' date=' if you choose it to be... Thanks for hosting another server in the illustrious United Kingdom! [/quote'] By Douche, i mean: Spamming chat and VoiceComm. Over-zealous racism or anything of that nature. I don't want to run a carebear double rainbow server, i want it gritty, dark, scary as hell - but with a friendly enough community that you don't want to leave after an hour.

880 Zombies peaked, but settled back to 440 on UK4 now, people reporting "Roaming" too. Not sure if that's factual but if so, well played Rocket. Happy Birthday and Good night!
