I tried holding it in my hand, I tried binding Map to the M key, but it opens a blank black screen... I tried right clicking the map... I'm stumped...

Ok, so, the patch said I could "Open canned food with sharp things" I have; An Axe A Mosin Bayonet A Kitchen Knife And I'll be damned if I can figure out how to open canned food. Tried right clicking, tried dragging crap on top of crap, nothing works. Also, I know it's alpha, but I pretty much stripped 4 TOWNS of loot, and there wasnt a single can opener in probably over 100 houses?

I just wish there was clarification on HOW you did it? Is it a Right click function? Drag and drop? Some kind of "Hold the tool in your hand and right click a can??

I frankly dont give a crap about a realistic 24 hour day. I work for a living, and I would find it complete bullshit if since I dont get home till its already dark, I would only be able to play at night.

Rocket already said, it's for the 357 magnum revolver. Which is almost ready to go in game.

I'm gonna try the Socratic method on you. You said there was "NO" hacking or pirating on consoles. Saying there is "NO" hacking or pirating on consoles is bullshit. Hence You said = Bullshit. Then end. I'm sorry man, the minute you said there was no hacking or piracy on consoles you lost all credibility. I actually feel kind of bad for you now because you just wont accept what you said was very very dumb.

ROFL, and that project failed spectacularly. Due to power requirements and the fact that they COULDN'T upgrade anything. They wasted millions on Ps3s, and literally less then a year later they could build the same thing with less footspace and power/cooling requirements AND it could be upgraded with REAL PC components if needed. Dont even try to talk military IT Hardware with me, I work in that field, and the "project" you mentioned was a laugh stalk of the entire DoD IT industry. We STILL make fun of it and how stupid it was.

BWAHAHAHA Did you seriously just say that? Holy crap, I see the dumbest crap posted on these forums.

Nothing, because the DayZ "Mod" is pretty much dead. I seriously doubt we will for example see a better inventory or control system. They are obviously from the way support for the mod has slowed to a crawl, putting 90% of their effort into the "Standalone" game.

Seriously, whomever thinks its ok to put "rape" in a video game or advocates it needs to die a horrible death in a most agonizing way. Some of you fucking people need an ass kicking to learn a little respect. You only get away with saying this shit on the internet, but if you said that to people in real life you would literally be shunned and probably get the crap kicked out of you. I swear to god i hate the internet some days.

P.S. THey actually asked me to be on preppers, but I turned them down. Partly because I dont need them in my business, and also because it would be incredible boring to watch me on TV.

We arent all that BAD. They purposely picked the crazy ones to make the show more entertaining. Yes I have a lot of guns and ammo. Yes I have guns in places around the house. But I dont think I need someone to come bless my guns. Putting guns in parts of the house is more about being able to get to them if you need them, not because you are crazy. Where I live it could take the police an hour to respond. (Ive timed it a few times) if someone or something breaks into my house and my gun is sitting in a vault or gun case on the other side of the house what good does it do me. I wear my pistol when I go outside or around town, but I dont want to wear it ALL the time. That shit is uncomfortable after a while.

There are a few things that worry me though about being prepared. I am a bit older for one, and my eyesight isnt what it use to be, I need glasses and that could be difficult to deal with in a prepper scenario. I would love to get laser corrective surgery. I also worry about security. I live out in the middle of no where, but I only have a ~5 foot chainlink fence around my land, and unfortunately I cant afford to put up a brick wall for an area that big. Havent really come up with a good solution to that except to build an inner wall just around the house. The other thing I thought about was to build a treehouse. Have to hear me out on that one. The nearest town to my area has a small population right? so assuming 1/2 the population were to flee before a big outbreak. That leaves me with 2500 potential zombies. I have more then enough ammo to deal with that many in theory(Around 20,000 rounds). I could sit up in my tree house and just wipe them all out. The problem is what to do with all the zombie bodies that would be left over.

I guess I am a prepper if you read my post on page one of this thread but again, we dont really call ourselves that. Well, assuming you read my post on page one, I guess I consider myself a prepper. Also, to the person who said they were suprised people owned guns and assumed that nobody ever uses them properly. I spent 12 years in the military and did 2 tours in Iraq during the worst times of the war. I am also an avid hunter/outdoors-men. Ive killed many animals for food. And I have also shot and killed people in the defense of myself and others. The reason I have so MANY firearms is because I have a select group of people I would like to have with me in an emergency and I can provide them with firearms.

No that T.V show is dumb because I would never want folks to know EXACTLY what I have and am capable of. All that stupid show did was make most of us preppers look bad, in addition to giving me scavenging spots when the world goes to shit.

I actually joke about this a lot because I am what you would call a prepper. I have MREs to last me 4 months at 2000 calories a day(longer if rationed.) I store about 300 gallons of emergency water. I have many firearms at my disposal, including black powder firearms(which are easier to make "gunpowder for") -In addition I have ~10 pounds of smokeless powder(the gun powder modern firearms use) and the dies and equipment to reload for almost all common caliber of pistol, and several common rifle calibers. I have the ability to smelt lead and make my own bullets. If firearms fail I am very good with my compound bow and crossbow. I raise my own chickens for part of my renewable food source. I have a garden that I grow vegetables in. I live less than a mile from a renewable water source. I learned to ride a motorcycle specifically because it is the most fuel efficient vehicle you can own. I know how to completely rebuild most of the drive train on a vehicle so i can do my own vehicle repairs. I know where to get medical supplies easily. (Did you know that fish antibiotics work well for humans if you cant find penicillin?) I can heat my house without gas or electricity. I live out in the middle of no where. So i didn't really do this for the "Zombies" exactly but I am definitely prepared.

TO be fair when you run a private hive its easy to deal with hackers. SUPER easy to tell they are hacking, and even easier to ban/screw them over. Ive never once had any issues dealing with hackers on our private hive server.

Non-hive does NOT mean you dont keep your character or stats. All it means is it isnt linked up to the OFFICIAL Hive. IE it has a local "Hive" or database, so your character doesnt transfer between servers.

Whats wrong with non-hive servers exactly?

Lot of bad information on these forums. Rocket said and I quote; http://www.reddit.co...estions/c5sdjs4 I think for the mod we open it up and see how it works. If people want to run private hives they can, but ideally we need a way to pool at least some statistics collectively. If people want to run private hives they can So people need to stop acting like its a crime and you will get banned for it. He openly said he doesn't have a problem with it. And second, Lingor island Dayz is FAR less buggy then regular dayz, its using a completely modified code base, you dont even need the original Dayz to run it anymore. I run a server, 24/7, never have hackers, dont have item duping, people arent losing items or having spawning issues. And lingor island is just a better map. 90% of the buildings can be entered, loot is better situated around the map, vehicle spawns are better. But anyway.

The worlds run off instances. So say Chernus is instance 1 Lingor is instance 2 You would see in the DB Orthus GUID/INSTANCEONE/POSITION/INVENTORY/MEDICAL-STATE/DATA/DATA/Etc etc etc.. Orthus GUID/INSTANCETWO/POSITION/INVENTORY/MEDICAL-STATE/DATA/DATA/Etc etc etc.. You could in theory have a function in your Database that copies everything about your character but his location between the two instances. It is totally do-able. I am just saying the way the hive is designed right now that's not the way it works.

Has anyone noticed that zombies are now agroing form like a mile away? Even when you are crouched? Is this intentional or a bug? It seems kind of ridiculous that a zombie saw me from that far away.

Has anyone looked inside the dayz_code.pbo and checked out the code? maybe it is a simple fix.

Yeah i think its a combination of both. I barely play on public servers anymore. Its just not worth the effort when a hacker can come in and kill you in 2 seconds.

So Rocket finally ok'd private hives. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/y4x6i/iama_rocket_potential_questions/c5sdjs4 I think for the mod we open it up and see how it works. If people want to run private hives they can, but ideally we need a way to pool at least some statistics collectively. This is a win for the community IMO.
