    Exactly how, do you update?

    Oh really? Mine downloaded quite quickly and I got it like 2 minutes after it was available! (maybe I beat the rush?) ^_^
  2. To quote Dean/Rocket - "[NEW] Three UI options available: Default (indicators only), Debug (indicators + debug window), None (only base ArmA2 UI)" * To change your DayZ UI options, go to OPTIONS > GAME OPTIONS > DayZ UI. This will only affect the DayZ UI elements, unfortunately it is not saving to the config file so each time you restart ArmA2 you will need to change this setting. * You will receive a serialization warning in game when changing the DayZ UI option, just ignore it by clicking continue it will be gone in next update. * DayZ UI Debug option is not working properlly (no debug indicator at the moment). deal-with-it.jpg I wouldn't suggest putting the debug option back on as, when having the debug indicator up, the UI doesn't currently keep your blood/thirst/hunger/temperature up to date. Best to just enjoy the new sense of immersion my friend :)

    Seems they've stopped providing whatever they used to provide buddy.
  4. To quote from an out of place post in the 1.7.2.6 Rolling Update thread: My two cents: How about the voice clips of the character wincing in pain when you're walking or performing actions (audio cues) to suggest that the character has wounds? Or/and an ability to check for wounds after a gunfight/zombie encounter - character in first person then identifies wounds and winces in pain? The second suggestion would go hand in hand with something like this. Man I would love this kind of detail on the blood in DayZ, I know Bohemia's game engine isn't as flexible as Phoenix (overgrowth's engine) but please guys, would be insanely cool to shoot a zombie/player and see them dripping with blood.

    Potential Bleeding Solutions!

    True, but I mean to have the character not actually screaming but sort of "sssssss", "ahhhhh" kinda sounds like when something really hurts :). I realise not all wounds are lethal but as anyone with wilderness experience knows, almost any open wounds can kill you if they are not tended to/no bathing options are available. Besides, i'm meaning simply for the player's sake, only lethal wounds should need any attention, non-lethal wounds shouldn't need to be rendered/tended to (other than broken/fractured bones of course).

    http://www.dayzcommander.com/ Download and install this my friend, then once in it click Update/Versions at the top - make sure you're at the latest versions for DayZ & Arma II - If not, click the install button next to them. (you can also install lingor island if you choose)

    Debug monitor is to be phased out if you didn't already know, Rocket and the Dev team are trying to find other ways to indicate things rather than having a UI for everything. (also if you haven't realised, the debug monitor is now broken haha) Yeah, I mean a fountain of blood isn't exactly ideal for a game with such immersion! That's why I think, when you get hurt/are injured, the character should wince in pain, nudging you to check for wounds! Checking for wounds could also automatically apply bandages if wounds are seen?

    Hotfix Build 1.7.2.6 Rolling Update

    Can't quote enough. Why is DayZ Commander not common knowledge amongst DayZ players? There are loads of people complaining that it's too hard to update the game manually! I know it's a sticky in one of the sub-forums but can we request something about DayZ commander get added to the dayzmod.com download page? It has much more functionality than SixLauncher (and seems to update better)! Edit: Derp, just seen it's actually been added to dayzmod.com. I'll go wipe the egg off my face, thanks guys :D

    Hotfix Build 1.7.2.6 Rolling Update

    Update your friggin' version of Arma II.
  10. I haven't had any DayZ Commander problems like this.. Install and update everything with DayZ Commander then just boot up DayZ seperately (there's plenty of tuts out there for this)? If it's not showing all the servers, be patient and wait for it to update the server list, then make sure you don't have any filters on?
  11. JamesButlin

    how can i kill myself in this situation?

    You do realise this wont make a difference? It'll just change how the player looks/sounds, still be in the same place. I'd request that a mod from the forum resets your character mate (assuming they can).

    Fork Lift Truck

    LOL. Yeah we should be able to attach blades on the front ;) (kidding)

    Alternate Hero Skins

    I can't see survivors of a zombie apocalypse dressing like neo :P. But I think with the implementation of swappable clothes into the game, the skins will be phased out a little (unless clothes change depending on hero/bandit/survivor - that'd be cool).

    Fork Lift Truck

    I likes, have some beeeeenz. Takes me back to fond memories of driving forklifts on BF3's Back to Karkland maps! EDIT: Hell, if they are adding underground construction, why not add digging industrial vehicles too!
  15. She is rather beautiful.. But I reinforce that this is a good idea and i'd actually like the servers to have this option (seems the admins get very little choice in how they run their servers how it is) so this post is more of a bump ;)

    Hotfix Build 1.7.2.6 Rolling Update

    Use DayZ Commander buddy, much much much easier and more features (including a friends list)

    Hotfix Build 1.7.2.6 Rolling Update

    Might be worth adding a little note saying blood/hunger/thirst/temperature UI icons WILL NOT update if you choose to try the debug UI. A few of my friends nearly starved to death last night haha, was funny! :D

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.6

    Solution = Stop killing players until they fix the bug ;)

    Not showing on map

    Most servers I play on don't have map markers, could be your problem.. Try a different server?
  20. JamesButlin

    Found a f*cked up bus

    Is you're monitor a cardboard box :| Seriously though, I have no idea, are you immune from zombie attacks?
  21. JamesButlin

    Should we remove barbed wire in the next update

    Yes, but bring it back in with the upgraded construction!
  22. JamesButlin

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.6

    Not when it's on it's nose! :(
  23. JamesButlin

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.6

    Quoting so it stands out for when rocket reads this :)
