  1. Hello, We here at Shadow of Humanity have just launched our own private Lingor server. Shadow of Humanity (SoH) is an anti bandit clan and we are looking for friends and foes to join our server and battle for supremacy of the Lingor Islands. Whether you are a lone survivor looking for a home or a bandit looking to cause trouble, we welcome you. We offer sanctuary to any survivor looking for a safe place to play, SoH heavily polices the Lingor Islands with extreme prejudice to banditry. Keep your nose clean and you will have nothing to fear from SoH, but let your trigger finger get the best of you and face the dire consequences. We also welcome bandits to come and disrupt the peace if you think can survive the swift justice of the Shadow of Humanity's forces! Some of our server features include: - Zombies spawn when players are in or out of vehicles! You will find it much more difficult in larger cities alone and you will be unable to determine if a player is in the area when driving by in a vehicle - Loot spawn time decreased, wider spawn range Faster spawning loot for easier farming, especially those hard to find items i.e. Tents! But beware, spending too much time in anyone place is never a good idea! Items will spawn or have already spawned when you reach a building, including while riding in a vehicle. Keep your vehicle closer to you while looting and experience a faster getaway when the firefights start! Just remember, your vehicle is closer to you and closer to the enemy =) - L85 replaced with M16A4 ACOG, replaced M107 with SVD Camo, and AS50 replaced with mark 48 mod 0 Extremely high powered and over powered weapons removed to promote balance and more close quarter combat. Tired of being shot down with one bullet in a Helli by random in a bush? Tired of one shot kills by a noob lucky enough to stumble on a AS50? How about tired of thermal's making it impossible to sneak up on even the worst of players? No more, we promote a balanced Lingor Island and have changed a few weapons around to some fan favorites that we felt are more balanced for Lingors play. Skill rules here. - Increased ammo spawn quantity found with each weapon. No weapon spawns with 0 mags. Tired of finding your favorite weapon in a Helli crash only to find 0 mags to go with it? Ya, so are we! - Up to 80 vehicles, including 6 U1-H1's Loads of vehicles to find, fix, crash and get blown up! As a clan we do not vehicle horde, there are plenty of vehicles to choose from! - All boats are PBX's Because fishing boats were....yea you get it. - DayZ AntiHack as well as the semi worthless BattlEye We strive to provide a legitimate experience for our players. We know BE is mostly garbage in regards to this mod so we have added some additional security to help combat the worst parts of the community. - Many working features that are sometimes neglected in other servers i.e. military flash lights, swimming, tent saving, vehicle saving, vehicle damage after server restarts and many more! - Side Chat enabled, closely moderated Sometimes its nice to communicate to others on the server, but we do not allow this to be abused or ruin the immersion for everyone You can find us by filtering/searching for "Jack Cr0w and Goober Lingor" (be sure to use capitals where applicable) in the Arma2 browser or DayZCommander/SIx Launcher

    So, private hives

    Running a private Lingor server with some enhanced features and anti cheat. Just finished it up over the weekend so population isn't high right now, but feel free to search for Jack Cr0w and Goober Lingor in Arma2 or DayZCommander and play on it. Edit: Here is a link with more information about our server http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/100366-shadow-of-humanity-are-you-friend-or-foe/
  6. Hello All, Can anyone point me in the direction on how to control what items spawn? Or how often they spawn without messing with the actual @lingor server files? I don't want to have a special flavor of Lingor that people have to download to play on my server, but Id like to be able to remove items from spawning or lower their chances a great deal. We have made tons of modifications within the mission files, but cant seem to figure out how to control this without wrecking the server files.

    I need help :(

    Not sure exactly, but do you know how to change bags? If you just pick up a bag, you have a extremely high chance of your old bag or items disappearing. So when you find a new bag, open it up and empty your bags contents into it, then pick up the bag. Hope this helps. P.S. I know it seems like you were doing really good, but you had mediocre gear at best. Just keep at it, youll get there.

    Server shutdown

    Could have been a restart due to a hacker, maybe the hacker was filling you with DMR shots

    Shoot all un-armed bandits on sight.

    Ha! Reminds me of the story about the lady who nurses a snake back to health, then one day he bites her. As she lay dying she askes the snake "I nursed you back to health, I saved your life. Why did you bite me?" The snake replied "Bitch you knew I was a snake!"
  10. I had so many friends buy Arma to play DayZ but dropped it like a bad habit. I too was extremely disappointed with DayZ at first, I had watch video after video before pulling the trigger, I really thought I knew what I was getting into. Then I started playing and couldn't believe how many assumptions I really made about this game. I could not believe that only a handful of buildings could be entered. I had no idea that the biggest cities were at the bottom of the map and were rarely traveled by anyone looking to experience survival or live past their first 45 min. Where were these camp fires full of players? What do you mean I cant use a flashlight or chem light because Ill just get griefed every time? But the unforgiving death system, survival theme, and realistic game play kept me pushing and pushing to figure it out, I knew there was something about this game I was going to love if I could just find it. Eventually I meet a good group players and joined their clan, they showed me the ropes and helped me learn my way around DayZ and Chernarus. That spark of hope ignited once again, but after a couple weeks the constant hacking, duping, ghosting, and saving bugs extinguished that flame almost as fast as it was lit. So I quit, in fact, so did most of the clan. We kept throwing around discussions like "is it worth it to keep the server until standalone?". Some members even began looking at the WarZ as a better product (I know right?). Then one day I get a message from a clan buddy "hey man, we are playing Lingor island. You should come check it out, its pretty fun". At first Im thinking meh what ever, just another DayZ map full of disappointment. It took me close to 3 weeks after Lingor released to install it, it took another 3 days before I even played it. I regret wasting those 3 weeks and 3 days.... I was and still am completely blown away at how much the Lingor map is what DayZ Chernarus SHOULD be. Multiple cities and not just on one side of the map. 99% of all buildings can be entered. Tons more vehicles and a larger variety of vehicles, frigging boats and bi-planes man! Interesting and diverse terrain from desert to jungle to marsh. Private hive to combat the simple exploits like ghosting and alt+F4, which are far more frustrating than a script kiddie playing thunder dome. I found that bugs had been fixed that were ever present in Chernarus like vehicle storage, military flashlights, swimming in water, and probably a few more I cant think of off the top of my head. Zombies are actually a real threat, there are so many buildings you forget which ones have a back exit and which ones are a death trap! You also get a little cocky and because you fool yourself into thinking you can always run and hide, but sometimes you get swarmed in a bad place. This has made fighting Zombies fun, not just an annoyance. Then there are the players, you have no idea who is where. Far to many places to hide, you'll never know if you might run into someone. The airfields are not the only places to get military loot, its all over the map! Gone are the days of spending all my time in one of two airfields. Once I began playing Lingor Island I was hooked and when I say hooked I'm talking World of Warcraft hooked. I finally found it, the DayZ that I wanted to play from the start. I even have a few of those friends, with a little effort, who are now playing because they too were expecting Lingor Island when they began playing DayZ. 3 weeks later I purchased a hosted VM and launched my own Lingor Server and i just cant get enough! I can only hope that the Chernarus' update for Standalone can be as good as Lingor Island because if it wasn't for Lingor Id probably would have bought and be playing Panda's! So I'd like to extend my gratitude to the private hive community. Lingor Island is full of WIN and I look forward to continuing to host and promote Lingor Island as the way to play DayZ, especially for those who think DayZ sucks because they too were disappointed with the current official map. Thanks for reading.

    Strange Happening

    Ya sounds like a script kiddie. Could have been the one you killed, could be his friend. Could just be a script kiddie who was watching and decided you all needed to die.

    Over 230 hackers got banned on my server

    Thats funny because Im pretty confident the numbers grew before dumbshit script kiddies like you who cant even update their client without the help of SixUpdater or Commander came along.

    Warning: CD-Key theft going on

    At this rate you should know by now that you dont click links from people you dont know At this rate you should know people are always trying to steal your information and should have your own security measures At this rate you should know that many forums warn against external links so why should you require it on every forum when you already know the danger? Appreciate the warning, but dont blame the DayZ team or forum Admins for stupid shit like this

    Do many people still play this?

    Lingor and Takistan are not official so they are local hives. I have no idea about how many are playing official as I dropped Chernarus for Lingor about a month ago and havent looked back since. But Lingor is awesome, I suggest you check it out. Many bugs in Chernarus have been fixed by the private community and the map is 100% better, imo of course.

    Tent duping

    Standalone will be your answer. The issue is that Arma was not designed to be a game that is continuously played. Generally you started a game, played the map until your objective was complete and then closed the map. This is the same reason that all servers have multiple restarts per day, otherwise vehicles once blown up would never come back. So the tent duping works something of the same way, since character data is stored on the backend hive and tent data on the local hive if the tent isnt saved it has no idea of the state of the tent after a restart other than its historical data. Since DayZ will be its own flavor of the Virtuality engine, I assume its being tailored to support real time respawns so servers should not need a constant restart every 6 hours or so to keep vehicles accessible. That in it self should stop tenting duping.

    Crashed Helicopter any Ideas?

    Most hosting companies will not do a db wipe because its against Rockets rules, at least that was what we had been told when we had our own. Now I run a Lingor server on my own hosted VM which I learned if you have db access you can change where the chopper spawns. You might be able to get your hosting company to change this in the db for you unless you actually have db access, but most hosting companies only give you a front end. Just another reason as to why I run Lingor and it only costs me $20 a month for the VM.
  17. DayZ doesnt suck, your just playing the wrong map. If you have time read a post I created in a sub forum, might change your mind http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/97285-lingor-island-my-dayz-savior/
