Hello folks, welcome to my stream thread! I will update it with announcements as soon as I schedule a new live stream the day it will air, alongside a little video with music to give you a little something to listen and use yourself since they are DRM FREE. [outdated because a mod thought it is a bad idea to start a topic that will clearly contain video highlights as well, since this has been moved I will post my highlight videos here as well now, because that would totally fit into the live stream thread, yeah] First announcement for today: DayZ Experimental - Guns blazing fun stream - Become a MegaMeTool today! Start: 8 PM GMT (check and compare your timezone here: http://www.gmtslider.com/ ) Link to stream: http://hitbox.tv/PaxtonMega Video announcement with music: Music: Deus Ex Sonic Augmentation - Vig - The God Machine (Medley) Further posts will contain announcements to further live streams, if you want to be notified as soon as possible follow me here: Youtube -> http://youtube,com/PaxtonMega Twitter -> http://twitter.com/PaxtonMega Hitbox -> http://hitbox.tv/PaxtonMega Furthermore this thread will contain specials, best off's and highlights from the streams I conduct, so stay tuned for video material next to the announcements as well! Have a fine day, see you tonight if you please! ~PM

There has to be a way, it was possible with earlier versions and it sure as hell is with current versions. The only thing I'd need for a start would be to be able to load up the map in an editor mode like the maps on ArmA 3

Before anyone starts nagging, here is some information on what I do want to do and what I do not want to do: I want to be able to record footage of towns I want to be able to record footage of the countryside +- Might want to be able to have one or two zombies running around I do NOT want to bypass any game mechanics I do NOT want to encourage piracy or theft, I own two copies of DayZ SA and all I want is to record machinima footage without some bandit strolling along and ruining the fun What I search is a way to start DayZ in a Singleplayer manner, emulated server environment or even a Dev Debug mode in order to being able to record stable videos. As you all may know, some servers run good, some have fps issues. A local running application will give me the stabilitie I need for my planned videos and as a sort of server admin I'd be able to get to places faster. I do not want to rent a server for this purpose because I know that admin abuse is serious buisiness and implementing a server to the hive that would give me everything I want and need for other official servers does not seem quite right in my opinion. So I come to you, crafty DayZ players, maybe devs that find this and kindly ask if there is a way for me to "unofficially" start a round of DayZ that is in no way connected to the hive, just on my machiene, with no saves, so I can record videos without the guilt of abusing any mechanic that is abusable. Are there any ways to start a dedicated server on my own machiene, that only I can access either by default or LAN settings? There is a LAN tab in the game thus I think the basics are implemented allready. Would be a big help in my quest of doing some machinimas, town overviews and cinematic camera movements :) regards, Pax

I reckoned that too, but mostly it sounds like it does because I used normalization on audacity, which, after re hearing it a few more times now, seems like a stupid idea. Fixed for the next part :) Thanks brah

Welcome ladies and gentlemen, I tried doing something very different from my usual style of videos containing gameplay and tutorials. Now for the first time I am about to release a set of story driven narrative videos that both tell the story of two survivors and also try and capture what happened in Chernarus, why the outbreak started and what lead to the events of the actual in-game gameplay we experience. Starting off with two prologue stories concerning Kevin (spoken by me) and Alice (spoken by my girlfriend) I want to develop both survivors and Chernarus to become one big set of story to keep in mind while playing DayZ which, in itself, does not provide any kind of lore at all. Enjoy the project, I will update this site every wednesday and thursday with new chapters of both sides of the story alongside my gameplay and tutorials that will keep coming as well. Any suggestions and opinions on the project either here or on the videos themselves. ~PM Kevin's Diary Chapter 00 - Prologue Alice's Diary

Aye, experienced that too, makeing the -nopause command pretty much useless, but I ain't gonna say no to a 10fps boost ^_^

As I understood it it forces DayZ to use DX9 Renderer which is not much different than DX10/11 in terms of DayZ itself as a game, the only game so far I saw a huge difference in renderering quality was Dragon Age 2 that changed models back to Dragon Age 1 Styles. DayZ however uses a lot of textures of ArmA 2 still :) At least thats what I got from reading around it

Want 30 FPS More?? Introducing: The ultimate Run-Through of all tweaks for DayZ SA. DayZ Standalone follows closely in the footsteps of it's father DayZ Mod, not only in terms of Survival and Banditry but also the every so slight lack of good performance. This FPS Guide will take your hand and lead you through the process of getting up to 30 more fps out of DayZ Standalone by tweaking the cfg files, choosing the right ingame video settings and Startup-Parameters. It's kind of a science for itself with the pretty badly hurt engine. While Rocket and his team (who are actually the most awesome people on planet earth, not even kidding) work on a solution for these problems, we might as well take the scenic route and tweak the hell out of the game in order to get better performance. Follow the three easy steps to success and get more out of your game, your gameplay and your survival attempts. It's a shame that we have a large drop in cities but even THERE you will get 20-30 FPS more than before. Elektro, Cherno, formerly pretty low fps areas are now actually enjoyable for everyone! :) CLICK ME TO VIEW THE VIDEO Hope that helped you guys out at least a bit, who is around longer in this forum knows I only intend to help everyone out with my videos, doing this since DayZ Mod :) Enjoy your evening ladies and gents! ~PM

Episode 5 done!

OH MAH GAWD LAWD! :O Been playing so much RE lately, RE6 and Operation Raccoon City, but obviously the original 3 are my Zombie roots ^.^ speaking of which, let me fire up my PS1 and kick in the good old #2 for Birkins sake That is a good way as well yes, yet again this needs to be set up before engageing players and in hindsight. The mildot-less-mildot rangeing (what a term...) is more for the suprise engagement and defence in case of people interrupting the peace and quiet of a NWA raid from an unexpected location :) You can do all sorts of rangeing techniques actually, all work more or less precise, yet most involve time before engagement, or, in case you did it a lot before, could actually work pretty quick. That's some heavy math, have my beans!

One more german video with subtitles on the way, stay tuned

"Path of least resistance" Bambi-to-gear way video on the way, stay tuned

thank you sir :) you get my beans both for the kind comment as well as dat sick RE2 Birkin avatar!

glad to hear that :3 thanks!
