I was saying my comment more in lines with game restrictions. Which people often forget with games like this. I don't really think that you could put bear spray in game and make it work as it does IRL. Yeah I'm sorry I also have a VERY limited knowledge on bears.

Bit complex no? Wouldn't it be simpler to shoot/run from the bloody thing?

Would it be better if I linked you guys to the current XML I've got running and the image I want to run aswell? Xml - https://www.dropbox....pt1@XMLfile.xml ( for convenience https://www.dropbox....byfe/0x-8JNs6YB ) logo - (currently in .PAA from .TGA but displayed here as JPEG for convenience the background is transparent) http://oi47.tinypic.com/2nsniog.jpg Edit: Also the image i've linked has been changed to 256x256 still no change in ArmA 2.

I don't think its the host I'm using dropbox and everything else works fine just the image not showing up when I go online. But thanks for the offer man I appreciate the support.

Hello Been a while since I've posted in these forums, anyway got the same issue as most of the people here my .PAA file refuses to load in my dropbox. I can't get it to work for whatever reason. I'm using photoshop elements 8.0 to edit the image and make it 256/256 with a transparent background aswell as TexView 2 to convert it to .PAA from .JPEG I don't really want to download GIMP if i'm completely honest. Anybody know any quick fixes for this? Thanks for your time .PS I realise im bringing up a dead thread but its better than me making another one for no reason right?

You know I see quite a bit of electronic equipment in DayZ and I just thought "Imagine the amount of batteries you'd need to power this shit" I mean the NVG's, AWS sights, laser sights etc. Wouldn't it be interesting if you had to lug around some batteries to power this stuff? I mean imagine you're trackng a target with the AWS and it suddenly turns into a normal scope thanks to an empty battery and you have to hurry up and change the battery in it to restore power. So adding batterys to the game would be my suggestion (if you didn't gather that) it kinda makes for a consequence for using this stuff longer than a small journey and it adds another small survival feature Anyway just another crazy thought I had thanks for reading. P.S I know NVG batteries last a long time, its just a suggestion.

Without the gun they're kinda pointless. And I don't think anyone with the gun cares enough to try a trade. I'd like them, but more importantly I'd also like the gun.

Sweet didn't know.

Where in gods name did you find 3 lots of soldier clothing? unless you duped it which is understandable.

Fair enough. Just that I've been playing Lingor and noticed that with one character if you get the right coloured clothes you can drop your backpack and be really well camouflaged whilst in a bush. I thought it might end in the same scenario Still it'd be nice if you couldn't change/have all the same colour on clothing to at least stop some dicks taking advantage.

^He is the Admin SiiriXX Sorry me being a moron and not reading properly. I've seen a few anti-hacker things implemented into different servers, most recent being UK 25 where if you log in with a AS50-TWS (any hacked gun just using it as example) you have 5 minutes to drop it or you get all your items deleted and may aswell have started fresh, same scenario if you fire it. Or just check the server logs for who is using scripts (I think that's how it works I don't have a clue never owned a server before)

Sounds good! One question though. What if a Bandit realises they can exploit this and give themselves fully Green clothing to blend in the environment? thereby letting them forgo the Ghillie for at least a little while? Anyway yeah its a cool idea I'd like to see it implemented.

Hey there Starts out with me and my friends joining a random Lingor server anyway me and the 2 guys are wandering around gathering gear when one of them finds a bus, we couldn't believe our luck to have found it! anyway as we head over to him to re-group we start attracting friendlies to the bus and end up with two guys accompanying us up north to the prison barracks, after we finish looting the place we get another friendly pop out of nowhere so we take him along saying "the more the merrier" anyway its at this point that our original two guests decide to leave us so we drop them off and continue along heading back south to town. So after a while we pull up to the Radar array place (name escapes me) and me and 1 friend go inside whilst our bus driver stays sat in his seat, as we loot the place we suddenly hear a bunch of shots and the other guy had gotten out of the bus shot the driver and driven off with a friend that'd come out of the forest to the west. This upset my friend an I with them speeding away we took pot shots but may aswell have been throwing rocks for how far away they were. so they drive off into the distance and my friend announces "Fuck this I'm tracking them down and killin them" so we set off. We're running for a while and all of a sudden can hear the bus driving toward us (down the road a bit was a barricade they couldn't get around) so me and the friend set up and as it comes into sight, unload, killing both bandits as they drove toward us. Nothing more satisfying than taking revenge. Thanks for reading my long story :)

Thanks

Hey there Just a small idea for consideration, I've noticed alot of commotion about helicopter crash sites and I just thought maybe instead of having JUST helicopter crash sites you can have caches of ammunition, medical supplies, armoured cars etc that have been air dropped into the Chernarus map. Note that this thought actually started out insanely action packed idea which involved the player having to have a radio and at some point during the day ( doesn't have to be during every "session" ) a plane can pass over the map and you would get a grid reference of where the cache has dropped or you could get to an AA gun that has been put on the map and use it to shoot down the plane for its resources. Crazy I know which is why its not part of the "main" idea I had. Thanks for reading feel free to tell me I'm an idiot :)

I was thinking more along the lines of you have a radio and when this aircraft passes into the area you get a broadcast over it kinda hard to understand and it tells you a few grid co-ords of where to look. Bear in mind you aren't there to respond to the broadcast and the broadcast wasn't meant for you hence you finding radios off of dead military zombies. Anyway its just a thought thanks for your positive feedback Mayuyu.

Why? why would it be "The worst bullshit" I can think of plenty of times where I've ran into Cherno and Electro and found a dead guy with everything ( NVGs/Rangefinders/AS50 etc ) and a completely random drop means EVERYWHERE including forests and islands so its not likely that a new spawn is gonna find them without a Radio or putting in a ton of effort of looking for the boxes. Besides these boxes are a fucking pain to find in ArmA as they're generally green and can camo really well in forests or greenery. Plus it isn't a big white blip on a horizon when you look at it, unlike a heli crash.

Not thinking along the lines of goodwill more along the lines of "early infection everybody's confused as to what the fuck is going on and dropping military supplies for the now-nonexistant military presence" And it gives Radios a use doesn't it? and the AA idea is more of an after thought than an actual suggestion.

Hey there I've been playing DayZ a while and I've been murdering people left right and centre thanks to me learning how to play the game but I regret that now and I know this sounds really daft but could one of the Mods / Admins do a stat reset for me please? I'm just trying to be a better person and go bandit hunting now and I really don't think I can be trusted with my -40k humanity Plus the Hero skin looks dapper and I'd really like to be running around in it rather than in my "rag head" Thanks in advance.

Yeah I've been playing in my Rag-head for a damned long time now, rather fed up of it which is why I asked for the Status reset. But fine by me I'll just try and heal all the n00bs that'll shoot me on sight rather than let me blood transfuse them. Shame you don't get positive humanity for shooting Bandits...

Nope. don't see it working.

Don't know....I agree with the thought just not the posters idea. Because right now we are fairly limited in our choices of gear. Some of the guns I've seen in ArmA2 look like they'd fit perfectly with the "idea" of DayZ such as the SA-58 or the Ak107 but thats just my opinion anyway. Thanks for reading.

Memories of when me and my friends put in a lot of effort to get a Chopper

Not really a Bandit story if you didn't kill anyone now is it? Seems more appropriate for Survivor campfire rather than here. Just sayin.
