Poison as a weapon. (Syringe/epi pen for Bandits) and other suggestions
brightlitefilms replied to lttankor7's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
But that's the thing, what that person said, why attempt to knock them out when you could just kill them? I mean, come on, that's not the point. We want people to attempt to work together, not have many ways of choosing their "nice survivor" demise. -

brightlitefilms replied to lttankor7's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
No. Just no. There are more than enough ways to kill humans as it is. Move towards making the game easier for the ones who wish to help others. Don't give bandits an advantage. -
Complete Inventory Wipe on Logoff
brightlitefilms replied to Angus-SiN's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
ALLOW ME TO ELABORATE, AS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME The problefm that most of you are probably running into is a serverside problem, not a problem with your characters. Unless all of your shit is completely gone and it doesn't ask you to respawn, then the issue that is most likely being presented is that you have joined a server with a private database. Simple fix: rejoin a different server. Now if your whole inventory is just completely gone and you don't seem to have anything yet are still in the same place you were before and yet didn't get prompted to respawn, then I have absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on and it better not happen to my character when I get back to Michigan on Wednesday from California. -
Losing aggro'd zombies is way to easy as it is... I can run through Cherno and make a successful looting run to the Church, Supermarket, Military Camp, and Firestation whilst escaping with 12000 blood as it is...

What I normally do when a hacker teleports everyone to one specific place is quickly Alt-F4 as it rolls back your character to a position about twenty seconds that you were before you logged out. But since they fixed that, shutting down your computer REALLY quickly MIGHT have worked, but as most others have said, your best option is to starve.

Logging in unconscious every time and mass FPS drop?
brightlitefilms replied to FuRiouSOne's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
The major FPS lag happens to me every now and then on different servers even with my 16 GBs of RAM, 6 Core AMD Processor, and nVidia GTX 570 TI graphics card. IT's an issuee that I only have with specific servers and I know that for a fact because if I log out and log back into the same server, the same FPS drop happens. Then, when I join a different server, my FPs goes back to normal. TL;DR: Join a different server. And for the random unconcious logins, it's because you logged out while you were already knocked out (by crashing your computer or such) or because you logged out while you were in and/or didn't know that you were in shock (the little "broken chain" icon above the broken leg icon). It will last for two minutes and appear that it isn't moving at all, but it really is. TL;DR: You logged out while in shock or while unconcious. Give it two minutes. -
I cannot seem to find anywhere in the forum where anyone is having the same problem with placing tents as I am. Whenever and wherever I try to place a tent it says "you cannot place a tent here", saying that it needs to be a clear area with no objects around it. I've tried placing it everywhere, Please help me, I have valuable loot that needs a safe home <3.

We need things added that relate to roleplay, not killing.
brightlitefilms posted a topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
So, it's the zombie apocalypse, and you're with a group of 5-6 friends, hanging out around your campfire. You've got nothing to do, you have all the weapons you need, and you've got food and supplies for many days. You don't need to scavenge for a while. You need something to do that isn't going around and killing zombies... you need what all basic humans require, by definition; happiness. Well, what should rocket include? Something to pass the time in game... but what could they possibly add? Weapon Modifications That's right, you heard it. I say that they add weapon modifications. You go out, scavenging, and find a military base. You find a silencer and an attachable foregrip. You grab the silencer, check the barrel size (specific for most guns) and attach it to the gun that it fits to. You take the foregrip, and slide it onto the underbarrel of your M4A1. You find a Red Dot Sight. Same thing. You find fragmentation rounds that do more damage for your weapon, coming in 1-5 round pairs to make it underpowered; which is how it should be. Shelter Construction Build on this one... I think it'd be a cool thing to be able to like... I don't know, barricade doors of homes with metal pieces to call them your own? They can be broken down with hatchets and explosives but keep all zombies out.... et cetera. -

Aren't you a douchey little troll. Go on, fix my sentence with another vulgar word describing your actions. -

brightlitefilms replied to brightlitefilms's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
No, lol... it's just something different then going out... killing people... it's like, almost a collective thing that becomes a "who can make/get the coolest weapon" thing. -
Allow me to elaborate further from these people's posts. You need to find food, get food, or have a blood transfusion in order to regain your lost blood. If you have anywhere above 10,000 blood, seek finding canned foods such as Frank and Beans, Baked Beans, Pasta, or Macaroni. If your blood is lower than ten thousand, you are going to need and want to get to a supermarket where many canned goods can and will be found, get a friend to perform a blood transfusion, or get these items to hunt an animal, gut it, start a fire, cook the meat, and eat it. You need, to eat cooked meat: Hunting knife Hatchet, or a wood pile Box of Matches Means of killing an animal (such as a gun or using the hatchet)

Pardon my foul language, ta-ta-ta, but I believe that this good citizen might be slightly aroused in a negative sense. Allow me to translate that piece of literature above into readable standards for the thread starter's behalf: OH HE MAD

Helicopter crashes rarely spawn with just one. I've found four helicopter crashes within one mile of each other. Don't server hop, just search within a justified radius.

Eghm. Allow me to simplify this and help you a little bit. Go to castles, which there are around four on the map. Why go to castles? Because castles are fucking cool. And have neat loot.

Go to this link (click on the picture): And find a server that you wish to join. Click on the server in the list and look for "Address" which should look like this: Then copy the address without the :2302 and go in game and go to the server lists. Click "okay" when the server list is down notification pops up. Then proceed to click the "remote" button, and type in the address without the :2302, as that goes in the "port" area. Click okay when you've done this and then it should show up in your server list! Good luck!

DayZ getting stuck at loading?
brightlitefilms replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
One, give it time. Two, make sure that within DayZ Six Launcher settings, you see this: If that doesn't work, then make sure that you are joining a server with the same version as you. I can only join servers using 95208, and it is usually stated which version they are running in the description. By the way, this often happens if you are using a torrented version of the game. Don't do it. Buy ArmA. Don't be a fag. -
Tree houses for the win! Let's do this, LEEEROOOOYYYY TREEHOUSEJENKINSSSSSS. But seriously, me gusta.

I will never be a bandit. Survivor nice-guy stories
brightlitefilms replied to IroquoisPliskin (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Shit like this only happens when you're carrying shit loot. You've got an M107 and they KoS you. -
Allow me to simplify this. You must be completely out of the building and about 50 meters away from it in order for loot to respawn. Loot will only respawn if one or more items have been taken from it or added to it. The whole building's loot will not respawn, but instead only sections of the loot that have been tampered with. It takes, for me, around five minutes for loot to respawn.

Concerning disabling in-game music to allow for better hearing

Disable music in the audio options. Nuff said. -
Simple Deterance to Trigger happy CoD fans and "bandits"
brightlitefilms replied to RedDedZed's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Love this. Nuff said, add a sanity meter. I am forced to shoot people on sight because I am afraid of being KoS'd myself. -
HOW TO PLAY WHEN SERVER LISTS ARE DOWN
brightlitefilms replied to brightlitefilms's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Not a problem, and do what xXCoNuNdRuMXx suggested, just try a few servers. Don't give up hope, we will feed our addiction! -
HOW TO PLAY WHEN SERVER LISTS ARE DOWN
brightlitefilms replied to brightlitefilms's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Make sure that you are setting the mission to "DayZ" and the version in the list matches the version you are running, so for me it'd be version 95208, which is what I would enter into the search bar. Also make sure that you aren't entering the :2302, or the port number into the address section of "remote". It should be under that section, in the "port" bar. -
[Suggestion] Barbed Wire Changes
brightlitefilms replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Barbed wire is thin, steel ropes twisted around each other with metal barbs (sharp pieces). It's not sliceable with a hatchet IRL or IG.
