Zyrak (DayZ)

Awsome! Keep it up Rocket! Don't work to hard though ;) I have had no problem Updating Via Sixupdater and beta just give it time this always happens when there is a mass of people trying to update. Maybe people can look at my link as im looking for feedback :heart: \/\/\/\/\/

I Would say the whole area is decent to loot the hanger always have a decent gun in them aswell as the barracks. But it is your first time there go in with care i would say start at the barracks south end of the Airfield near forests its a bit for secluded than the rest. When i recently went in there i generally didn't give dam about anybody so i ran straight in to the fire house bearing in mind i had to kill about 200 zombies -.- but meh i got a full pack of ammo once they stopped spawning and found a pretty rare weapon, cant remember its name but think it was a Uzi of some sort used it instantly for giggles incase i did die. As for snipers most of them i came across will not kill you in there first shotdue to zeroing etc so if you do hear shots coming your way RUN! ;)

Well my idea of adding another light source (Searchlights) to the night would benefit to brightening it up abut more, As they do brighting a wide area if you want to take a look :) http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17361&pid=157522#pid157522

Indeed i never knew how big the generators were only that i have heard they drop. and As for health on Alarms that is a good point which i thought about when i was going to sleep sadly a good 12 hours sleep makes you forget things ;) With the Searchlight i would say it could attract the zombies but i was going of the fact a torchlight does not attract them so why would a massive searchlight? :p it would make it easy for zombies to Spot of players if they stand in it though so if someone has the searchlight off ontop of the tower sees a players turn on the searchlight and points at him the zombies which were around him are now able to see him. And yeah i heard rocket was also going to add some type of power source to Torchs aswell like AA bats whenever he gets round to it. Im sure they can both run of them its not practical... but it will do. a car bat would make for a better realistic idea.... but just make the Searchlight and alarm drain the AA batts very quickly if they do run on them.

So while were on the subject on Vision...lighting and sound etc aswell can Rocket have a go at trying this if its possible? should not take to long as most the if not all the things he requires are already in the Arma 2 files :) Thats ofcourse if he likes it Just bringing a suggestion in which hopefully gets noticed and gets other peoples feedback. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17361

I think adding searchlights to the game would really add another good light source to night time aswell it would be the first mountable turret to DayZ. You would find it on the ground as a normal loot source and it would have the same concept as the KORN turret in Arma 2 Where you can dismantle and put it up so it will have two parts to it. the legs and the main body (or it all whole). Aswell as it being place in the same slot as KORN Bag would be in. It Would also follow the same concept as a tent or car save its location etc... unless it not used in a certain time its vanishes. Now On the same thought...why not make something like this with an Alarm speaker on it same conecpt and it would make Alot of sound so it would attract Zombies to it. As there is already a Alarm sound file in Arma 2 you could use one of them and use the stand of a KORN and pop a speaker ontop of it so kind of like a Searchlight (Hence why i said have the searchlight in two parts) So imagine this your making your way to the NW Airfield and you hear the Air raid siren you come over the hill and you hear it coming from the Control tower and you see another Player ontop of the tower with searchlight shooting zombies which are attracted by the sounds and lit up by the search light. I went into ARMA creator and made a picture for an example... So the is the point of View of the Guy on the tower...okay so i doudt the alarm would attract that many zombies but still... thought i would make it look intresting... So what do you guys think? Also Why not use the Generators which are in the game and are not used yet power these type of devices...

Hey dude, I am also new. Just brought the Game and still downloading at the moment so wont be online anytime soon. I have no idea of controls too but if you want i will hook up with you ingame if you want. My steam name is Zyrak too. :)
