BLOOD and Damage NEW PLAYER Guide!
JamesButlin replied to deadlyslob (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
It's always nice to see tutorial videos but you gotta bear in mind that the debug panel as of the 1.7.2.6 patch does NOT provide an effective UI (the status indicators don't update) and is going to be eventually (soon?) phased out of the game. It is just that, a debug panel. Other than that, really good video, explains quite a lot that newer players might not know! :) -
As confirmed in the 1.7.2.6 changelog, you are right, they have been fixed. :) Beans all around! :beans:

I need help with this arma 2 update
JamesButlin replied to Sounds_Fun's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Try reinstalling DayZ commander or Arma II using the "reinstall" button.. Should fix it. -
Pick a default face and think yourself lucky you were allowed to roam Chernarus as hitler :P

killed a man in lingor sorry if it was you
JamesButlin replied to apache25's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Touched that you made a thread about it, but honestly, getting shot at is part of playing DayZ my friend! I wouldn't feel too bad about it! -
my first car is a helicopter
JamesButlin replied to Rastamaus's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Sounds like a plan :) -
It's a well known bug should be ironed out soon I imagine! <insert comment about DayZ mod being in alpha and lots of things being broken> :)

my first car is a helicopter
JamesButlin replied to Rastamaus's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Gotta find some of these mate, not the easiest things to find! I recommend looking here mate if you can get there, usually plenty of chances for vehicle parts there! Maybe next time leave it in a more hidden spot ;) -
my first car is a helicopter
JamesButlin replied to Rastamaus's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Haha, sprinted towards a helicopter in electro I bet, think yourself lucky it was only you and one other on the server otherwise you'd be dead within the minute! Nah i'd say you deserve to keep it.. remember that age old saying: "Finders, keepers" ;) -

Enjoy your free helicopter, you've probably made someone very mad unless it was spawned in! ;) -
Vehicle Information
JamesButlin replied to gardiner83@hotmail.co.uk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This should give you all the info you need about the vehicles - click on the individual vehicles and look to the right for "Rarity Common (6-8 per server)" if there are 5 spawns for a helicopter on the map and only chance for 1 to spawn, then I believe it will change between these spawn points if it falls under the criteria highlighted in red below (correct me if i'm wrong someone). If it hasn't been touched at all I believe it will stay in the same spot, servers only move vehicles back on certain conditions - If a vehicle is unused, bugged or left, it will respawn after a minimum of 7 days. As for vehicle locations, there are loot maps that contain such information (though I try to avoid using these as it feels a little like cheating :D) -
I'm sure he did and is doing, we should feel honoured that we have the opportunity to help mould this amazing game into something that's never been done before! There's the treat. :)

A present for the DayZ team from the Trusted Medics of the Wasteland.

Love it! -
server restarts are ruining peoples fun
JamesButlin replied to apache25's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If you're losing everything you have on server restart, you might not want to frequent that server anymore as it will more than likely be a private hive! Server resets (on servers attached to the main hive) simply replace loot & put vehicles where they are supposed to be if they are unusable/haven't been used for a long time, they do not reset every vehicle or any player's characters. -
Edit: Quoting for emphasis.

I believe something (alpha probably) will be released in the upcoming month or so, and it's going to be bloody brilliant. I can't wait to see the new zombies with their life spans and new building interiors in Chernarus+! Definitely buying during alpha I am :)
-
Glad the results are better :) DayZ has a very well known memory leak, the longer you play the lower your FPS will go :( I consider less than 30 fps normal for built up areas (oddly enough doesn't make a different as to whether i'm on highest settings or lowest).

You sure it's your GPU choking? There has been some issues with all of the threads not being used for higher than dual core processors - try out AMD tray tools like in this thread Edit: Multi-thread tweak in ATI Tray tools have upped my FPS in cities by about 10/20fps on a Radeon HD 6870 - even if it's not your CPU, there are a few tweaks in the tray tools that can up your performance
-
After it says 100% you have to click the close button on the Arma II updater buddy :). Good point, it's only really if you want to give it a try
-
The suggestion part of your post is something I actually like the sound of, barbed wire might be an annoyance in real life but it wouldn't be impossible to move around/flatten in places to get through!

Why all the hate on the guys that keep tents stocked?
JamesButlin replied to dannyboy (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm all out of beans today (seems there's a limit). But you can have some virtual beans. :beans: -
Should we remove barbed wire in the next update

Giving Lingor Island a go for the first time
JamesButlin replied to jackykid's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
G'luck sir. -
Lingor island is a seperate map from Arma II which has been set up to play DayZ on, it's smaller than the Chernarus and is set in africa (I think), it's more tropical and has a cluster of islands. If you join any DayZ servers which have lingor island (you can search for Lingor only ones) you will not have your normal character, and your character on that server will not be available on any other servers other than the one you are on. Hope this is explained well enough :).

Can't see health and all that anymore after update?!
JamesButlin replied to snhd's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Your way was much easier :) No problem mate!
